One of the biggest myths about hypnotherapy is that you lose control.

In reality, hypnosis is simply a state of focused relaxation, a bit like when you’re absorbed in a book or drifting just before sleep.

During hypnotherapy:

• you remain aware of what’s happening
• you can speak and move if you want to
• you can come out of the state at any time
• you are always in control

Most people describe it as feeling deeply calm and relaxed while the mind becomes more open to positive change.

This relaxed state allows us to work with the subconscious patterns that keep certain fears, anxieties or habits in place.

For issues such as trauma responses or phobias, I also use additional trauma-informed approaches from my specialist trauma and phobia CPD training. These methods are designed to help the nervous system safely release old fear responses without needing to relive distressing experiences.

Healing doesn’t have to mean pushing through fear, it can happen gently and safely.

Anxiety doesn’t always look the way people expect.

It isn’t just panic attacks or constant worry.

Often, anxiety shows up in very specific areas of life, sometimes in ways people don’t immediately recognise as anxiety at all.

It can look like:

• dental anxiety
• medical or hospital anxiety
• driving anxiety
• fear of flying
• social anxiety
• relationship anxiety or fear of rejection
• lack of confidence for interviews or new situations
• overthinking conversations afterwards
• difficulty switching off at night
• sleep problems or racing thoughts
• avoiding things you want to do

These responses aren’t weakness or failure.

They’re usually learned protection responses held within the nervous system, often linked to past experiences where your brain learned to stay alert or avoid discomfort.

The good news is that anxiety patterns can be gently changed.

Trauma-informed hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to help your body feel calmer, safer, and more in control again.

You don’t have to keep pushing through or managing it alone 🍂

A lot of people think insecurity is a personality flaw.

But insecurity is often a nervous system response.

It’s what happens when, somewhere along the line, you learned:

• I’m too much.
• I’m not enough.
• I’ll be rejected.
• I’ll be replaced.
• I’ll be judged.
• I’m unsafe to be fully seen.

So you shrink.
You people please.
You overthink.
You compare.
You second guess.

Not because you’re weak.

Because your system is trying to protect you.

And the truth is:
Confidence isn’t something you “think” your way into.

It’s something your body learns through safety.

Trauma informed hypnotherapy can help you rewire this at the root. 🍁

Small 'T' Trauma is still Trauma

Just because it wasn’t dramatic
doesn’t mean it didn’t shape you.

Small t trauma can look like:

• being criticised a lot
• being emotionally ignored
• having your feelings dismissed
• growing up around tension
• being parentified
• never feeling chosen
• never feeling good enough

And it can block you from:

• feeling secure
• trusting yourself
• receiving love
• speaking up
• taking up space
• feeling worthy of good things

If you resonate with this, you’re not alone.

And you’re not too far gone.

You’re just ready.

If you’ve been feeling flat lately, please hear this:

It doesn’t always mean something is wrong with you.

Sometimes “flat” is what happens when your life no longer matches your soul.

When you’re doing what you should do…
instead of what feels true.

When your nervous system is exhausted from holding it all together.
When you’ve outgrown an old version of you.

Flat can be the pause before a new chapter.
A reset.
A sign you’re ready for something more aligned.

If you’re feeling this right now, and you want support to reconnect with your inner safety, confidence and direction , my work is designed for exactly that.

When we live from our wounds, our nervous system is always on guard.

Old trauma responses, fears, and insecurities sit quietly in the background, influencing how we show up, what we tolerate, and what we believe is possible for us.

In that state, peace and contentment can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable.
So when those moments do come, we minimise them.
We assume they’re rare… or undeserved.

But those moments are not the problem.
They are the signal.

They show us what life feels like when we’re no longer surviving, when we’re regulated, grounded, and connected to who we really are.

This is the work of healing:
not fixing yourself, but coming home to yourself.

If this resonates, and you’re curious about what healing could look like for your nervous system, you’re very welcome to explore working with me or simply sit with this reflection today.

A calm nervous system isn’t about being relaxed all the time.

It’s about having the ability to return to safety after stress.

When the nervous system is regulated, we think more clearly, sleep more deeply, and respond rather than react.

When it’s dysregulated, even small things can feel overwhelming, not because we’re failing, but because the body is in protection mode.

Learning how to support the nervous system is one of the most important (and overlooked) foundations of emotional wellbeing.

I’ve been quietly deepening my work over the last few months, and I wanted to share something with those of you who follow my page.

Alongside hypnotherapy, I’ve been specialising in gentle trauma release work supporting people to feel calmer, safer and more grounded by working with the subconscious mind and the nervous system.

What is trauma informed hypnotherapy?
It simply means I work with your mind and body gently and safely.
You stay in control at all times, and nothing is forced or relived.
Together, we help your system release stress, anxiety, old patterns and trauma responses in a calm and supported way.

This approach is especially helpful for:

• anxiety and overthinking
• emotional overwhelm
• self doubt
• unexplained fear or tension
• recurring patterns in relationships
• inner child wounds
• feeling stuck or disconnected
• long standing stress responses
• low confidence or self worth

It’s a soft but powerful way of coming back to yourself.

Why Trauma Survivors Rub Their Feet Together While Resting

If you’ve ever noticed someone gently rubbing their feet together while lying down, you might be seeing something deeper than a habit. It’s called “cricketing,” and it’s a subconscious way the body soothes itself after trauma.

When someone experiences trauma, their nervous system can become stuck in a constant state of alert. Even when they’re safe, their body still searches for signals of comfort. The repetitive motion of rubbing the feet together creates rhythm and grounding, a quiet message to the brain that says, “You’re safe now.”

This movement activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the part responsible for calming and regulating the body. It lowers heart rate, releases tension, and slowly helps the nervous system settle after being on high alert for too long.

Cricketing isn’t something a person chooses to do consciously, it’s the body’s natural intelligence at work. The same instinct that makes us shiver when cold or yawn when tired helps trauma survivors find physical relief when words or logic can’t.

It’s a small, remarkable reminder that the body remembers pain but also knows how to heal. Sometimes, healing starts with something as simple as the soft brush of your own feet finding peace.
