The below is an excerpt taken from the Netflix series Freud, Set in the early 1800’s. In this scene Freud is trying to convince a room full of doctors and professors that we have an unconscious. I loved his description of our unconscious mind. ‘I am a house, in me it is dark. My consciousness is a solitary light, a candle caught in a draft. It flickers. One minute this way, then the other. Everything else lies in the shadows, everything else lies within the unconsciousness. B

You can not simply take one hypnotherapy technique and know that for everyone it will be successful, just like not everyone will respond to hypnotherapy the same as someone else. There are so many ways to change the way you think, feel or behave. Over the years of being a hypnotherapist I have seen some surprising changes and then no change at all. I’ve seen a Man that smoked two packets of cigarettes a day walk into my office wreaking of old and new cigarette smoke. Told me

Why you cant get out of the worried thoughts and move past them… Getting caught in that dreaded loop of doom is easy to do when we let our mind fixate on it. The story of the problem is like watching a t.v series in our head, we want to watch the next bit and the next bit, however it can lead us into a terrible mind space. Anxiety is an addiction of the thoughts, we cant get away from it sometimes, no matter how hard we try to distract ourselves, we still find our mind headed

Watching my In the classroom or doing his homework he is a whole different person. He is withdrawn, distracted, and frustrated. He slams his pencil down with the slightest bit of ‘hard work’. It is so awful to be part of I have completely scraped homework. I would much prefer him being outside kicking a ball, being happy then trying to chain him to the kitchen bench to work on his grammar. I’m sure we can all relate to this in similar ways. We have different things we feel mo

There a We can all have behaviours we want to change or emotions we want to be free from, but if we sit and think about doing a different behaviour or ‘wishing’ to feel better nothing changes. In order for something to change we have to do. The doing part is the obstacle for most people. The hardest one to climb over. We might consciously be aware that walking in nature makes us feel better, but when we are feeling yucky, we choose to sit inside, doors and windows closed, and

I believe they d Over the last couple of months I have been helping a lot of students that are sitting their HSC. Stressed out, overwhelmed and anxious. It seems in this high pressured stage of their life that there is only one way you really ‘should’ be, and that is STRESSED! Clients speak of how their friends stress rubs off on them, and they can feel the teachers stress too. Mum or dad giving them the eyeball, when they catch them watching Netflix. I always like to shock t

On a scale between 1 – 10 (10 being outrageously happy) how happy are you? I would classify a happy person anywhere from an 8 and up. If you scored 8 or higher (virtual high five). Life is sweet for you…keep kicking those goals. You can click off here now, this blog post is not for you. Anything under an 8, listen up! Now tell me how do you start your day? How do you feel emotionally when you start your day? What is your self talk (your inner dialogue)? How do you respond to

Because the excuse list for anybody that wants to lose weight , thinking about starting or having just not made it again at another diet, is damn long (like pages and pages).

So what is the RIGHT thing to do first? Well actually that is easy, and it doesn’t matter how long you have been ‘trying’ to lose

A wonderful poem, created by one of my LYS ladies. Enjoy x Blink. Blink. Blink. Squeeze. My eyes slam shut. 1. 2. 3. 4. Fuck! So close to 5 and yet I open my eyes. I can see the road again. Just taunting me. Teasing me. I hate this. I hate that devilish conscience of self-preservation on my shoulder! She snatches away my chance at success, at discipline and relief. Because now I have to go again. You stupid idiot. You’re weak and this is pathetic. I twitch my head and jam my

Not many people enjoy winter. I on the other hand embrace it. despite the fact that we have draft central coming up from the gaps in our floorboards. I always like to embrace all seasons. There are so many ‘cool’ things about winter: blankies, bed socks, ugg boots, trackie pants, spooning ;-), fires, food…FOOD!! soups and pastas and stews, it’s slow cooker heaven!! It’s all about the comfort, but what other foods are comfort?………….the rice, bread, and of course hot puddings, i

Poor old  calm, it never gets nearly as much attention as being busy does.. Busyness takes all the focus off calm. People like to talk about how busy they are, that’s nothing new. But aren’t you bored of being busy all the time?…….. I am. I’m sick of saying to people when they ask how I’ve been….’We’ve been really busy’ Since when did busyness become so glorified?……I’m putting an end to it, and I want you to join me. For the love of our adrenal glands our overall nervous syst

This afternoon I got a call from a client I saw more than 12 months ago. The reason I am sharing Bill’s story with you, is because I want it to be a message of motivation, to encourage you to just start. Because quite often, as I refer to a quote I read on my door every day and maybe Bill read it when he was in here too. ‘Big things have small beginnings” Sometimes just starting something sets the wheels in motion and you gain more motivation and determination the more you ac

A fresh new year is looming. It’s exciting to be able to start a new chapter. We can start with all the promises of what we want to achieve in this year. We usually anticipate the fresh new year to be better than the last. have you decided that 2015 is the year that you become smoke free? Imagine…..being able to achieve your goal of becoming smoke free on the 1st of January. The first day of the year ticking off one of your self improvement goals, will set you up for a VERY s

Let me explain to you what depression feels like. Depression is like a dull, rainy, Sunday afternoon downer every single day! Even when the sun is shining on the outside the inside is dark with chilling thoughts. You want to so desperately  pull back the curtains to let the light in but your paralysed by the darkness. Depression is like a horror movie on repeat. The murder scene, plays louder and louder and you can’t close your eyes and block your ears during the gruesome bit

Imagine….. Big thick, dark and angry tentacles growing out of your mind. whipping you in the face, trying to reach your neck so they can stop you from living. Taking your happiness, making you feel as bad as they look. constantly tormenting, twisting everything you say, shaking everything you do. and You…..helpless…enslaved by this monster that lives inside of you, this monster that is you! Their words sound like this: ‘I SHOULD have made more of myself by now, I’m a loser, I

The final session Nobody in the group ever wants it to end…….. As the facilitator of these groups, I too also feel emotional on the last session, as I have literally seen these ladies blossom into what they only have ever dreamed of being. Last night marked the end of yet another amazingly successful group. A bunch of women who dance their own dance, stand in their greatness and embrace their once perceived flaws, as intended parts of their stories. Throughout the weeks the g
