Brightly Being Therapies - Tavistock Hypnotherapy

What response best describes your response?

Reposted from my friends page.

Fear is healthy when it is in response to lions and tigers and bears. But when it stops you from creating the life you have dreamt of then it is time to address the fear and put it to the left behind you.

Fear is one of the negative emotions we address in sessions. Grab life by the horns and step into a world of your making.

When we come from a place of confidence and knowing we do not need to shout about our virtues - after all we feel no need to shout about our height.

When we believe that we need to protect ourselves we are unable to step into a place of healing. Learning to let our nervous system know that we are safe and will survive is the first step to healing. Learn how to come out of the fight flight or freeze response and step into a space for healing.

In certain cultures tea means wisdom. Take your time to savour the small things in life and make them as important as the world changing events.

In NLP we talk about being 'at cause' - we recognise that our responses to a situation are the only aspect we can control. Bad things happen - our car breaks down, we come across someone prejudice, a loved one dies - how we respond is where our power lies.

NLP and Hypnotherapy can be used to help us step out of the loop of hurting others. Healing allows us to take responsibility for our own pain and the role it plays in our interactions - good or bad.

People around you who expect you to mind read and adjust to their unspoken mood are doing both you and them a disservice. Stay centered in your own emotions and let them see that you are a safe person to express theirs. NLP and hypnotherapy can help you regonise your role and stay settled.

That space where growth is possible and your future is exciting.

Saying Goodbye to the IPad

Two years ago, he tossed the iPad down a flight of stairs.
That’s nothing new for an autism family, but after we survived the rest of that miserable day, I wondered if we could do it.
Give it up completely.
The next morning his unusually happy self woke up his brothers and sister- called them by name.
I was even more convinced that this was a path worth traveling.
And we have.
It wasn’t easy- especially in the beginning.
A tremendous amount of time in the swing.
A big trip to Barnes and Noble for books (we didn’t even know he liked books.)
Not just showing an interest and playing with toys or more reading of books, but willingly going on outings.
Boat rides and trips to the dollar general, running errands and even church on occasion.
Train trips and plane trips with no iPad in sight.
We haven’t been able to do that since he was a non-walker.
Life is not perfect, but we let that go a long time ago.
We have found a new normal and I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around the many changes that have completely caught me off guard.
I thought I knew him so well and yet, I didn’t know a dumb old device was keeping him shut away from the world.
It’s been tiring, thrilling, amazing and a change that occupies far more of Mommy’s time.
Less working and more Amos.
But, it’s fun.
He is fun.
Even his teacher said, “He took a friend’s hand and led them to the carpet. He’s NEVER done that before.”
Now when we run errands, he insists on going in each and every place.
Not to look for things but to chat up friendly sales folks.
And last night, after he bossed me, we called his big brother so he could say hi.
We talked about plans for the weekend and he participated in the conversation.
The child who has never noticed a new person in the room is now saying hey to every person he happens to encounter.
He’s learning and happy to be a part of our world.
It’s the damndest thing and I’m so proud.
Especially of him.
