How interesting... Birdwatching and learning to recognise birds may strengthen your cognitive reserve, building a buffer against ageing. A good reason to get out into the natural world! 🙂

Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with novices, which probably help them better identify birds and may even protect against age-related cognitive decline

Many people experiencing anxiety or depression feel unable to talk about their symptoms. Fear about what others will think is a big factor in keeping silent and can stop people from getting the help that they may need.

Talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone. It can even save lives. Talking can reduce stigma and help people feel comfortable enough to seek help when they need it.

There are many misconceptions about anxiety. In this blog I listed a few facts to help dispel any myths and take the stigma out of something that affects us all.

Last week I received this lovely testimonial from a client I was seeing for fear of flying.

“I came to Carolyn with a crippling fear of flying. I hadn’t flown for 8 years and felt like I was missing out on so much. Carolyn explained very clearly how the brain works, so that I knew from the beginning that hypnotherapy could work. The sessions were unrushed and relaxing and Carolyn was very easy to trust. I not only flew again but actually enjoyed the flights! I’m looking forward to flying again, instead of dreading it! I can’t recommend Carolyn highly enough.”
