What’s the biggest challenge you face today?

For many, it’s the relentless voice of the inner critic.

I don’t know about you, but I love hearing stories of people who have learned to overcome a block.

One amazing example of this comes from Sarah, who joined our IFnT Online Training in Salzburg. Sarah explains how she learned to overcome her ever-present and mean-spirited - inner critic.

Sarah’s Words (translated from German by DeepL)

“Step by step, the application of IFnT leads me to approach my inner world with an attitude of loving curiosity.

Where a sharp critic is active within me, the process invites me to look behind the mean words and discover what is hidden behind them. To accept myself and explore what still lies dormant in my perception, in my history, in my heart, with an inner gentleness that was previously unknown to me (that really takes courage).

With the slow pace of the process during the exercises, I regularly feel how my soul makes itself comfortable in my body. How I arrive at myself and learn to actually like myself. To take good care of myself. To listen to myself and take myself seriously. To comfort and hold myself, knowing that I am a child loved and wanted by God.”

This is the power of Insight Focused Neurotherapy (IFnT). It’s not just theory - it’s a lived process that rewires the brain, softens the critic, and opens new space for freedom, healing, and deep self-acceptance.

We’d love to help you see success in overcoming your own blocks.

One participant said:

“In two days I rediscovered a calling I’d buried 20 years ago - and now I’m launching a new practice.”

She came to our IFnT Introduction feeling lost in midlife.

She witnessed participants experiencing insights, and she gave it a go for herself…

By applying the process and focusing on a felt sense of awareness,

She reconnected with the spark that first drew her into the helping profession…

Here’s what she said: "The workshops have given back my zeal for working with folk and learning more about the process of restoration…I have found my spark again and now I know I can trust this.”

Amazing to see life reignite!

This is what happens when safety, neuroscience, and soul converge in coaching.

At my recent IFnT training, a therapist told me, “Integrating neuroscience, truly understanding that our brain will ‘sort and order’ itself into a state of homeostasis, without any effort - made my work feel like magic - clients keep having breakthroughs I never could have planned.”

Beyond talk therapy…

In my sessions, I utilise the brain’s capacity to change (neuroplasticity) in an environment of kind enquiry without any judgment (safety), and with curiosity (open awareness) tuning in to whatever arises in the moment… becoming aware as insights emerge - this is the magic, just like ideas that suddenly appear when in the shower…

The result? Clients access insights that bypass their inner critic and land where transformation truly lives.

That’s the neuroscience edge IFnT gives you - making coaching feel effortless and deeply effective.

‘Inside Out’ was a great movie that opened eyes and changed lives…from the inside-out… not a to-do-list

In his best selling book, “The Body Keeps the Score”, the famous Trauma therapist Bessel van de Kolk makes no bones about it, the research shows …that by activating the insula - the brain’s interoceptive hub - we feel the wisdom of our body in real time… so that real change emerges into awareness from the inside-out!

So many clients, myself included, get caught up in the try-harder brain loop - winding up in BRAINsnag…round and round you go…with no real solution on the horizon 🙁

If you’re in a spin, don’t follow your instincts (that’s old logic), take the counter-intuitive move… of letting go of… trying so hard. Instead, drop into your body and discover the wisdom. Its a powerful way to exit the SNAGbrain cycle.

Doing things another way can be scary… but to start simple is something we all can do…

• Breathing out (activates the relax reflex)
• Dropping your shoulders (letting go of holding on tight)
• Shaking out your arms and hands (letting go of tension)
• Then…turn the focus of your attention to your body and ask…”what am I becoming aware of right now…?
This simple process will lead the way to profound change…from the inside-out!

The brain only truly learns when it feels safe - sounds simple, but it changes everything.

When a client feels safe enough, their nervous system stops defending and can start rewiring.

One practice I use in my sessions -
I pause...
breathing out, dropping my shoulders and letting go of trying… letting the space be what it is without trying to change, fix or work anything out.

I tune in and reflect back (without any judgment)
this … is how it is for you right now….

When the nervous system calms, the awarenesses emerge.

The insights come through them - not me.

Resonate with that?

Feel the tension fall away with -
breathing out, dropping your shoulders and letting go of...trying so hard?

This is one of the core principles I weave through the IFnT (Insight Focused NeuroTherapy) training

If you’d like to explore this further, I’ve got a two day workshop coming up in August where we go deeper into these ideas. I’ll share more soon.

I remain grateful for the various ways in which IFnT has helped my professional practice and personal growth trajectory. What a wonderful resource it is. To be able to revisit my new awareness or insight, in the present moment, using the anchoring of the felt sense in my body, is amazing.
I find that when I do this a fresh sense of hope rises up within me and my day unfolds in the beautiful light of that hope. 🙏🥰😊

Have you ever been with a client where you suddenly feel something shift in the room? That moment when they see something new - a deep realisation - an ‘aha’ moment?

I’ve seen this unfold so often over the years. This is not random magic; it’s the emergent outcome of curious enquiry… that 'aha’ moment that only occurs in a safe environment and without judgement. This is neuroplasticity at work. The brain reorganising itself in the face of emergent awareness.

I love these moments…to watch something powerful unfold motivates and challenges me to create more of this space, where it’s less about trying to change or fix something and more about holding the space in this special way.

It’s become the foundation of my work and the Insight Focused Neurotherapy model I now teach.

What about you?

Have you noticed these ‘aha’ moments in your sessions?

What sparks them?

Drop me a comment or message, I’d love to know.
