How are you launching into the summer holidays?

Are you ticking all the fun, educational, family time, core memory, days out, quality time boxes?

Are you comparing yourself and your family already?

Im not a parenting expert, but im a hypnotherapist who works with alot of parents and what tends to cause the most distress is when we stop looking at what works for our families and start looking at what everyone else is doing.

We compare, we feel guilty, we get snappy, frustrated and angry then we feel more guilt, hop on insta to calm down for 5 minutes and boom the cycle starts again.

It's really hard to break the cycle of comparison, but bringing it back to what works for your family helps.

There's no way my family would cope with doing 3 activities every day, or socialising non stop, so we dont do it, but for others it works.

I'm not immune from trying to control everything and make it perfect, but everyone feels alot better and everything feels alot more perfect when I let go a bit, let things be and stop trying to tick all the boxes.

For the life of me, I could not get my husband and son out the door for a walk this afternoon, I was getting really frustrated but I went on my own, they played a computer game together. Not very insta worthy but they had a great time and I had a fantastic walk.

We get told mum guilt is just part of parenting, but its not often helpful and there are ways to feel less of it. Let me know if you want to chat more about how hypnotherapy can help.

Saying goodbye to clients is a joy, in the nicest possible way!

It's so good to see you walk out the door with confidence, knowing you can handle whatever comes your way.

Feeling happier, more able to handle the day to day stresses and the big stresses we all face too.

The aim of hypnotherapy is to get you feeling better quickly, so as much as I'd love to keep my clients for years, most often 6 to 12 weeks is all that's needed.

Im thinking of some clients today who are starting the summer holidays feeling ready, have holidays coming up that they're looking forward to, and are ready for big family events coming soon too.

You've got the tools, you're going to be ok and even better, you're going to enjoy this summer! Thank you so much for letting me share part of your journey ❤️

What's been good this week?

I feel like this week is well represented by this photo, pretty but spiky. Good and bad.

Almost everyone I've spoken to or worked with has been having one of these weeks!

Is it the same for you?

On these weeks there's a balance between acknowledging the hard bits and spotting those teeny tiny glimmers of good that help keep us moving and smiling.

For me it's a trip to a garden centre, a takeaway and a couple of early nights.

What's been good for you?

I absolutely made the most of the cosy feel in my therapy room yesterday!

Burner on, blanket out, cup of tea in hand 🍵

A cosy, nurturing space where you can talk, decompress and explore what's next for you.

If you're wondering if hypnotherapy might help you, whether it's for your mental health, phobias or creating new healthy habits, then let's chat.

Solution focused hypnotherapy might be exactly what you're looking for.

Its birth trauma awareness week,

I think we're talking about it a bit more now, and not just birth but perinatal trauma, trauma before and after birth too.

Birth trauma is more common than most people realise. Too common, unfortunately. If you've experienced it, you're not alone.

The good thing to know is that it's not something that you have to ignore and suffer with forever.

I see clients who learn to manage those difficult memories of birth. It's wonderful to see them taking control, looking forward and enjoying being a family instead of stuck.

If you need support get in touch, making that first step can feel big, but it's a huge step in the right direction and you deserve that.

Back on instagram! I turned 40 and with life being busy I accidentally gave myself a couple of months off the gram. Which was kind of nice, but I did miss you!

So I'm glad to be back. I've been busy with hypnotherapy clients, helping them navigate new jobs, phobias, birth trauma, relationships and so much more, what an interesting job I have, im so lucky to be talking to wonderful people who want to make changes every day.

That's squeezed in between home educating Mr 8, picking up after two VERY mischievous kittens and navigating all the other life stuff.

I'm not keen on the heat waves but have been enjoying a morning coffee in the garden.

What have you been up to? Are you also flagging a little in the heat or are you loving it?

My small joy for the day 😊

What's your small joy today?

If you've ever felt lonely or left out, but not confident enough to do something about it, you're not alone.

The theme for mental health awareness week is community, but do you feel part of a connected community?

When we feel low or anxious it can pull us inward and away from the communities that help us feel good, it's a vicious circle and we end up more and more isolated.

We need happy, safe interactions with our fellow humans to feel good. So building confidence is key.

Start small and build up, maybe you'll be the one setting up a bake off at work or joining a choir next?

What would you love to be part of?

And of course, if you need some support on the journey, solution focused hypnotherapy can help you on your way to feeling more confident and connected.

It's maternal mental health awareness week. The thing I really want mums to know is that, yes parenting is difficult for a lot of parents a lot of the time, yes worry is common and you might feel more emotional than you did before baby.

But...

if it's impacting your life, if things feel too much, too often or you feel like you can't cope, then there's something that we can do about that.

You might have people, other mums or family telling you this is just how it is now, but believe me, if you feel like something needs to change, go and find support, because there will be someone who will listen and understand and help.

I see mums in this space for all sorts, birth trauma, anxiety, pnd, intrusive thoughts, I see them at all stages of motherhood and it's never too late to start feeling better.

Many have thought for a long time that they just weren't good at it, or that being a mum is feeling anxiety and shame and panic all the time, but it's not true.

When you start to feel yourself again, you can enjoy your children, your family and find joy in life again, and you're worth that.

Don't be afraid to reach out, you're not alone in what you're feeling and you can feel better.

Kitten spam!

We have new kittens, meet Luna and Aurora ✨️

In between hypnotherapy clients it's cuddle and play time, so I'm afraid it's kitten content for the forseeable 😸😸

You just don't know what's going to come up during hypnotherapy!

Here are 3 things I got this week. Now I need to make sure I keep actioning them.

1. Ride my bike to work for fun and movement
2. Wash my hair as soon as I need it
3. Use click and collect instead of shopping at the big supermarket

What do you think might come up for you?

Did you know up to 12% of children worldwide experience chronic stomach pain? For many families, this pain disrupts everyday life, affecting school, play, and mental health.

This recent research highlights hypnotherapy as a powerful, non-invasive way to manage pain. By tapping into the mind-body connection, hypnotherapy helps children relax, reduce discomfort, and feel more in control.

At Jo White Therapy, I’m passionate about offering compassionate, evidence-based support to families. Solution focused Hypnotherapy can be a game-changer for children struggling with pain and anxiety, and I'm so glad this research has reflected this.
