Trauma is the internal impact, not just the event. Trauma responses aren't choices -they're survival.

Great post Annaleise Gamble Motion & Mind xx

Trauma isn't what happened to you. It's what happened inside of you as a result. Trauma response is not a choice. Remember this when supporting a traumatised person on their journey. They have not shut down, cowered, rolled over, run away or fought back out of choice. They're surviving.

Feedback from one of my lovely clients.

Gabriela initially came to see me as she was feeling hopeless and experiencing panic attacks and intense anxiety.

Here's what Gabriela said after our sessions.

I just want to say a heartfelt thank you for all the support and guidance you’ve given me throughout our sessions. When I first came to you, I was struggling with intense anxiety, panic attacks, and a constant feeling of unease. It felt overwhelming, and at times, hopeless.

Now, after our time together, I feel so much more in control of my thoughts and emotions. I’m genuinely looking forward to the future—something I couldn’t have imagined before. You helped me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The tools and advice you gave me have been incredibly valuable, and I know they’ll continue to help me moving forward. I truly appreciate the safe and supportive space you created for me to open up and grow. Thank you so much for everything.

Feedback from my wonderful client who consulted me at a really low point in her life.

Emma has made a remarkable transformation through therapy -from feeling anxious, low in self-esteem, fed up with life and stuck in an unhealthy relationship with food, to feeling so much happier and more positive. These changes have truly transformed her life.

At a real low point in my life, I felt overwhelmed. I was overweight and had tried every kind of diet in the past with little long-term success. I was anxious, I had lost my confidence and I felt that I could do nothing right, doubting myself in every scenario. I wasn’t enjoying life at all and felt thoroughly miserable and fed up.

I first visited Sarah to get help with my weight, believing that was the root of all my problems, but it was clear there were other factors contributing to my unhappiness and Sarah recommended therapy sessions. From the start, I found it very easy to talk to Sarah. Each session felt like a safe space where I could say whatever I wanted to. As well as the in-person therapy sessions, Sarah gave me ‘homework’ and encouraged me to keep a journal. She gave me strategies to use to help me manage negative thoughts and emotions. Together, we also worked on improving my food choices.

Six months on, I am steadily losing weight, feeling much healthier and more positive. Most importantly, I’ve found my inner strength again. I know there is still a journey ahead, but thanks to Sarah’s support, I feel like I am on the right track and strong enough to continue on my own, with the comfort of knowing she is there if I ever need her.

I give Sarah permission to use my feedback and I truly hope that it will encourage anyone else who is struggling, to seek help. Sarah, thank you from the bottom of my heart - you have genuinely changed my life.

Wonderful feedback from my client:
Tracy came to me feeling depressed, stressed, anxious, and struggling with gaining some weight.

It has been a very calming and eye opening few months which has already had a hugely positive impact upon my and my families lives.

Looking back now I find it hard to believe I wasted so many years without taking action sooner but as we know, eventually I came to see you. In fact today I recommended someone I know to come to you for almost identical 'issues'. It seems such a waste for them to be feeling so bad when they can change that. I hope they called you already!

For years before coming to see you (I guess since 2011) I had slipped into a very anxious and stressed state which some would call depression. This manifested as avoiding social situations, seeing my relationship fall completely away with my disabled parent, putting on a significant amount of weight (several stones) and generally anticipating failure on an ongoing basis. I had no ability to remember, focus or complete any tasks. Headaches were a daily occurrence and the feeling of having a tight band permanently around my head preventing me from thinking was common place. I had stopped reading, listening to music, caring about how I looked, going out socially, stopped paid work and was simply operating in 'survival' mode and had been for quite some time. I guess I had stopped liking myself and this impacted on all around me.

The impact that the last few months have had on my life is incredible. I am happy, almost all of the time and empowered to be in control of my feelings and reactions to life in general. I question my own thoughts BEFORE reacting and correct them if necessary (not often now) and the most important I celebrate the successes (however small) of daily life. Every night I set myself a 'plan' for the next day and enjoy it. I am getting things done with efficiency, loving nature and the 'details' I had missed for so long. Music has again become a lovely part of my day and I am listening to it and singing along often! Books are now a feature on the sofa, in the car and bedside cabinet and they had been missing for so long. Too long. I am initiating social events and making new friends, yes me!!

Relationships improve as my 'mood' is lifting those around me and I have started to re-build with my parent although on a very different footing as my life is important and I intend to live it to the full. My child is relaxing more and I am using my empowerment to help further build confidence in other adults around me. The bonus, I have lost over 6 kg's already just through making good choices and questing what I eat and feel so much better for it. I smile, a lot then smile again because I did it in the first place! Lovely.

I would say don't just survive, take control, live every moment and enjoy. You are the only person who can do it, rise to the challenge and get back on track.

Sarah, thank you. I had never contemplated any kind of therapy before but it was the best decision I have made for a very long time

Be intentional and mindful of what you feed your brain with.

Your neurons are constantly firing, shaping the pathways in your brain. Each experience reinforces these connections, and when you feed your mind with negativity, you strengthen patterns that deepen stress and anxiety.

Be intentional with what you nourish your mind with, for what you feed it shapes who you become. Choose thoughts, experiences, and influences that empower you to embed healthier neural pathways and create a more resilient, positive mindset.

I don't know how you do it but I felt such a relief after talking to you yesterday. I really benefit from the sessions. I cannot express how grateful I am. My gratitude to you is immense and difficult to put into the very best words. Thank you again.
