Feeling tense between sessions?
Try these quick, neuroscience informed tools I use with clients to stabilise mood and sleep — alongside our weekly solution focused hypnotherapy for faster progress.
1) Box breathing (2–4–4–4) - this slows your heart rate and reduces physiological arousal. Use for 1–3 minutes when anxiety spikes.
2) Grounding 5‑4‑3‑2‑1 - name senses to interrupt rumination and return to the present.
3) Brief cognitive reframe - label the worry, ask “What would I tell a friend?” then choose one kinder thought to test.
4) Progressive muscle release (2–5 minutes) - eases physical tension to support sleep onset.
5) 10‑minute guided imagery - rehearse calm scenes to settle mood before bed.
These tools are simple, evidence aligned supports—not replacements for targeted hypnotherapy sessions, but great complements between visits.
Which one will you try tonight?
