Day 10: Still out of office. Still afloat. Still emotionally supported by Cyril the towel swan.

Today’s highlights include: a man in a sequined waistcoat passionately singing ABBA to a crowd of strangers who absolutely did not ask for it, a suspiciously enthusiastic salsa class where I may or may not have accidentally invented a new dance move called “The Hypnotic Flail,” and a buffet item labelled “Mystery Mousse” that I approached with caution and left with questions.

I also witnessed a heated debate between two guests about whether the moon looks better from the starboard side, and found myself in a lift with someone dressed as a pineapple. No explanation offered. None requested.

Cyril remains composed. I remain committed to not checking emails. The sangria remains excellent.

Back on 8th December. Until then, assume I’m somewhere between the dessert station and mild existential reflection.

While I’m away, here’s one last stress management tip to carry with you into the week ahead.

Day 5: Use “Permission Language.”

When stress builds, your inner dialogue can become harsh and demanding. Try replacing “I should…” or “I need to…” with “I’m allowed to…” or “It’s okay to…”

For example:
“I’m allowed to rest.”
“It’s okay to take five minutes without solving anything.”
“I’m allowed to feel overwhelmed and still be safe.”

This shift in language helps your nervous system feel less threatened and more supported. It’s not about pretending everything’s fine—it’s about giving yourself permission to be human.

While I’m away, here’s another gentle stress management tip to carry with you.

Day 4: Let your breath find *you*.

Instead of trying to control your breath, try noticing it. Not shaping it. Not counting it. Just observing.

Where do you feel it most—your chest, your nose, your belly? Is it shallow or deep, fast or slow? Let it be exactly as it is. Your only job is to notice.

This kind of breath awareness helps your nervous system feel seen, not managed. It’s a quiet way of saying, “I’m here. I’m listening.”

Sometimes, the most powerful shift comes not from doing more—but from allowing more.

Day 3: Try the “One-Task Reset.”

When everything feels overwhelming, choose one small task and do it slowly. Not efficiently. Not perfectly. Just slowly.

It could be folding a towel, making a cup of tea, or tidying one corner of a room. Let it be quiet. Let it be enough.

This isn’t about productivity—it’s about giving your nervous system a single, manageable focus. A way to say, “We’re not doing everything. We’re just doing this.”

Sometimes, the smallest task done with care can shift your whole internal landscape.

While I’m away recharging, my page is still here to offer gentle stress management tips. Here’s one for today:

Day 2: Try the “Micro Sanctuary” technique.

Choose one small corner of your home—a chair, a windowsill, even the bit of floor next to the radiator—and make it a temporary sanctuary. Add a blanket, a lamp, a comforting object, or just sit there with a hot drink and no expectations.

This isn’t about productivity or performance. It’s about giving your nervous system a space where nothing is required of it. A quiet signal that says, “You’re safe here.”

Even five minutes in your micro sanctuary can help your system reset and remember what calm feels like.

While I'm away on holiday unwinding from the stresses and strains of life, my page will be sharing some stress management tips, which I hope you'll find useful. Today's tip:

Give your nervous system a break with the “Name 3” technique. When your mind feels like a browser with 47 tabs open, pause and name three things you can see, three things you can hear, and three things you can feel. No need to force it—just notice.

It might be the glow of a lamp, the hum of the fridge, the texture of your blanket. This gentle sensory check-in helps anchor your awareness and calm your system without needing to “fix” anything.

It’s not about escaping stress—it’s about giving your brain a moment to breathe.

🌊 Why You Don’t Have to ‘Believe’ in Hypnotherapy for It to Work

You don’t need to be convinced.
You don’t need to feel certain.
And you definitely don’t need to “believe” in it.

Here’s why:

🌀 Trance is natural.
You already drift in and out of trance states every day—when you lose track of time, get absorbed in a book, or drive on autopilot. Hypnotherapy simply uses that natural focus with intention.

🌙 Your subconscious doesn’t need persuasion.
It responds to imagery, rhythm, and suggestion—not belief. You don’t have to force anything. You just need to be willing to notice what happens.

✨ Curiosity is enough.
If you’re open to exploring, that’s more than enough. Scepticism is welcome. You can question the process and still benefit from it.

🌾 Change doesn’t require faith—just readiness.
Hypnotherapy isn’t magic. It’s a structured way of working with the part of your mind that quietly shapes how you feel, react, and choose. If you’re ready for something to shift, it often will. So if you’re curious but unsure, that’s not a barrier. That’s a beginning.

If you'd like to discuss whether hypnotherapy would be suitable for you, get in touch. I've been working with clients for 15 years and am a Senior Hypnotherapist registered with GHR and accredited by CNHC. I work from Eastthorpe Hall in the heart of Yorkshire and also online.

I’m officially out of office from today until 8th December.

Where am I? Well… I could be on a cruise ship somewhere warm, sipping sangria and pretending I don’t know what day it is. Or I might be deep in the Bermuda Triangle negotiating a peace treaty between rival towel animals. There’s also a chance I’ve joined a secret onboard society dedicated to locating the ship’s best dessert. Priorities.

Either way, I won’t be checking messages, emails, or carrier pigeons until I return. If it’s urgent, please contact me after 8th December—ideally with snacks and a full debrief on what I’ve missed.

See you on the other side.

We all know our phones can be useful—but for many of us, they’ve quietly become *too* useful. A recent BBC article highlighted how phone habits are affecting sleep, focus, and even relationships. And breaking that cycle isn’t always easy on your own.

That’s where hypnotherapy can help. By working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can reduce the urge to constantly check your phone, ease the anxiety of “missing out,” and help you reclaim your time and attention. It’s not about giving up your phone—it’s about putting *you* back in charge.

I’ve been a clinical hypnotherapist for 15 years, working face to face here in Yorkshire and online with people all over the world. If you’d like to explore how hypnotherapy can help you break your phone habit and feel more present, message me directly.

Welcome to the Mind Spa. Please remove your shoes, your worries, and any lingering thoughts about that email you forgot to reply to in 2019.

This is where stress comes to be gently outwitted by ambient lighting, decorative throws, and the quiet authority of a salt lamp that knows too much. The chairs are judgement-free zones. The cushions are trained in emotional support. The footrests are fluent in passive-aggressive comfort.

If you sit here long enough, you may experience spontaneous relaxation, mild existential clarity, or the sudden urge to cancel all your plans and become a professional blanket tester. Side effects may include sighing deeply and forgetting what day it is.

***The regular Mind Spa relaxation sessions resume Monday 8 Dec. Pre-Booking is required. You can RESERVE YOUR PLACE at https://bit.ly/mspawinter or scan QR code on next image.*** Just bring your brain and a willingness to be gently rearranged.

6 Signs You’re Ready for Hypnotherapy

You don’t have to feel fearless or broken to begin. Readiness often shows up quietly—in the moments you realise something needs to shift, even if you’re not sure how.

Here are six signs that hypnotherapy might be the right next step—and why they matter:

🌀 1. You’re tired of overthinking.
When logic has been exhausted and the same thoughts keep looping, it’s often a sign that the issue isn’t cognitive—it’s subconscious. Hypnotherapy works where overthinking can’t reach.

🌙 2. You want change without confrontation.
If you’re drawn to healing but dread reliving distressing memories or being pushed to talk through everything, you’re ready for a gentler approach. Hypnotherapy allows change without re-exposure.

🌸 3. You’re curious about a quieter way.
Curiosity is often the first sign of readiness. If you’ve tried force, effort, or willpower—and now wonder if there’s a way that feels more like relief than resistance—you’re already leaning toward it.

✨ 4. You’re craving rest that actually restores.
When sleep isn’t enough and your nervous system feels constantly alert, it’s a sign that deeper regulation is needed. Hypnotherapy offers a kind of rest that reaches the parts talk therapy can’t.

🧭 5. You want to understand yourself without judgment.
If you’re ready to explore what’s been running in the background—not to fix it, but to meet it with compassion—you’re ready for a process that honours your story without pathologising it.

🌾 6. You’re ready to feel more choice.
Not control over everything—but a little more space between trigger and response. That space is where hypnotherapy works best. If you’re craving it, you’re ready.

You don’t have to be certain. You don’t have to be confident. You just have to be ready enough.
