Polestar Hypnotherapy

Ever wondered what actually happens in a hypnotherapy session?

(Spoiler: no pocket watches, no clucking like a chicken, no losing control)

Here's the real deal:

Part 1: We talk through what you want your life to look like. Not what's broken. What you want instead.

Part 2: Guided relaxation where we install those new patterns at a subconscious level. You're aware the whole time. Just deeply, beautifully relaxed.

55 minutes that could shift everything.

I wrote this for anyone who's curious but hesitant. Anyone who's tried other things and is wondering if this might be different.

That feeling when you have 47 browser tabs open and you're somehow researching the history of staplers instead of doing actual work?
Been there. 🧠✨

Getting my ADHD diagnosis at 58 explained everything. But discovering enabling constraints actually changed everything.

Turns out our brains aren't broken - we just need the right operating system. One that works WITH our wiring instead of against it.

Enabling constraints aren't about restriction. They're about giving your brilliant, chaotic brain the structure it craves. Time boxing. Task doubling. Automated systems that shift you from overwhelm to actual dopamine rewards.

Because when you feel genuinely rewarded (not just relieved), you naturally want to tackle the next thing. That's the molecule of more at work.

Your ADHD brain isn't something to fix - with the right constraints, it's your superpower. 🚀

Is your heart's nightclub letting in all the wrong people? 🍸

Think of your relationships like running an exclusive venue. You need standards (the dress code at the door) and boundaries (the house rules once they're inside).Too many of us either have bouncers who let absolutely everyone in OR door staff so picky that even we wouldn't make the cut!

In my latest blog post, I break down:
✨ 5 healthy vs unhealthy standards to look for
✨ 5 boundaries that actually work (and 5 that don't) ✨ How to communicate your needs without feeling guilty
✨ What to do when someone crosses the line

Your heart deserves to be the kind of place where everyone feels respected, valued, and genuinely wants to be. The first step? Deciding you're worth it.

Sage advice...

You’re not bad at making changes. Change, is just new every time. Reinvention feels scary because it’s unfamiliar. Not because you’re unqualified.

Keep going.

"Self love" used to make me feel sick 🤢 It sounded so selfish and me-me-ME!
But then I discovered something that changed everything: "Me too" 💭

I realised I deserved the same level of care, effort and energy that I gave to everyone else. Not more, not less - just the same.
As a recovering people pleaser, this shift helped me: ✨ Set boundaries without guilt ✨ Stop over-committing and feeling overwhelmed ✨ Be honest about my AuDHD needs ✨ Say no without writing a novel explaining why ✨ Ask for help instead of suffering in silence

If you're tired of putting everyone else first while running on empty, this one's for you 👇
What would change if you truly believed you mattered too?

That voice in your head saying you're "too much" or "not enough"?

It's lying.

If you're in midlife feeling like everyone else has it sorted whilst you're still figuring out the basics, you're not broken. You're human.
The successful executive convinced they're a fraud. The devoted parent worried they've damaged their kids. The person reframing their entire life after a late diagnosis.

I see you. You're not alone in this.

Here's what I've learned as both a therapist and someone on this journey: other people's inability to accept you isn't your problem to solve. You cannot shrink yourself into acceptability for everyone.

Real growth happens when we hold two truths: You are fundamentally worthy as you are AND you can continue to develop.
Your sensitivity isn't too much. Your intensity isn't wrong. Your way of processing the world isn't broken.
Read my latest blog post for two simple daily practices that can help shift this pattern. Link in bio.

You are enough. Right now. Exactly as you are.

Three weeks ago, I ruptured my Achilles tendon. Twelve weeks in this stylish air boot ahead of me. I'm a quarter RoboCop! 😁

My first thought? "This is s**t! Awful. I can't drive, can't exercise, I've had to cancel so much..."

But here's the thing - I work with people every day helping them reframe negative thoughts. Time to practice what I preach.

So instead of focusing on what I *can't* do, I'm asking: what *can* this situation offer me?

✨ More time for reading and learning
✨ Deeper focus on my online sessions
✨ Chance to slow down and actually rest
✨ Opportunity to get creative with how I move forward
✨ A reminder that setbacks don't define us - our response does

We all face unexpected challenges. The question isn't whether they'll happen - it's how we choose to respond when they do.

💪What situation in your life could you reframe right now?

Sometimes the very thing that feels like it's holding us back is actually creating space for something better to emerge.

Drop a comment and let me know - I'd love to hear how you're turning your challenges into opportunities 💪
