Sounds about right 😂

Why do relationships get into trouble?

The quick answer is how long is a piece of string? There are so many variables but there are three key themes that tend to crop up with the couples that I've helped in recent months:

Infidelity, lack of intimacy and growing apart.

There are reasons why all of these themes crop up in relationships. Something has broken down somewhere. However, the Solution Focused approach isn't concerned with focusing on that - why?

We are where we are right? Most likely you've done all the arguing, ruminating, blaming, shouting, ignoring the issue and probably crying - only to find that the 'problem' hasn't been resolved.

I'm interested in that connection that brought you together in the first place. Where the hell did that go? And have you both got the real underlying respect and admiration for one another to get that back despite life's challenges?

What if you could get that back? I see many couples who do. When you become so embroiled in the problem you lose sight of your strenghts as a team.

Even if the answer to that question is 'No', isn't it better to be certain that you've both changed to the extent you can't make it work going forward than responding from anger, frustration and resentment?

If you're struggling with this either as a couple or with a partner that refuses to work with you, please get in touch. Life can be so much more rewarding when you're ready to move forward ❤️‍🩹

Focus on realtionships this week - in this case the lack of one!

I see many little loves who are seeking their soul mate.

I learned this lesson the hard way. I'm sharing it with you so you don't have to.

Spending time on my own, taking time out for me at an incredibly difficult time in my life, was both the hardest thing I've ever done yet the most precious gift I could have given myself.

It enabled me to get true clarity about the life I wanted and the type of people I wanted to have in it.

Once you have that clarity your internal radar (technically your RAS - won't bore you with that one but look it up if you want to) will start focusing on what you actually want.

You will actually start to see what you're getting for your time, effort and emotional investment. You will become more discerning, able to see through the BS. You will start to judge intentions by what others actually DO and not what they SAY.

You don't NEED a person to be complete. You're fine as you are. The right person will be the one who wants to grow with you and wants the best for you too.

Take care of you, take time out, get that much needed clarity and enjoy life. Like attracts like.

Sending love ❤️‍🩹

My kinda people! Straight talking. Love it 🥰

The seeds I would love to plant today:

🌱There is always hope and there is always a solution despite what you're going through

🌱You don't have to make huge sweeping changes, start with your perspective

🌱What if everything turned out OK?

🌱What if this was the wake up call you needed to put you on the right path?

🌱You are a Little Legend. If you brought that version of you to a difficult situation how would they handle it?

Sending love 🫶

This post is dedicated to the gorgeous Debra Penrice because she is a wonderful human who helps authors to write their soul stories.

Some of us don't believe in writing about our life experiences. Some see it as self-indulgent. They are of course entitled to their view. But this is just how I see it.

My life experiences, the good the bad and the downright ugly are exactly what has brought me to this place now. I want to help others to heal from trauma. I want to help others to experience the benefits of practicing Self-Mastery and the sense of liberation and wellbeing that develops you when you truly become your own person.

That's why I do what I do now and I love it. One day I would love to write a book about my shizzle and how I overcame the goddam lot of it with the courage to walk away from anyone or anything that tries to bring me down or disrespect my values and my sense of self-worth.

The best outcome from writing my story would be that it helps others to discover the Little Legend that lies dormant within them too.

When that day comes I know exactly the right person to help me on my journey 💜

Friday fun time!

As Andy always says, if you want the music of Beethoven you have to put with his idiosyncrasies 🤣

Overthinking? Catastrophising?

This comes up ALL THE TIME in the therapy room. The thing I most often remind clients about is the fact that THOUGHTS ARE NOT REAL.

How many times have all those worst case scenario imaginings actually come to pass? You imagine that the piece of work you've been putting off is going to be really complicated and it actually turns out to be OK. Or you have to speak in front of an audience. You're dreading it. Only to find that you absolutely LOVED every moment of it.

One of the best antidotes to negative and intrusive thoughts is healthy distractions. Here are some suggestions or just simply ensure you make time to do the things you love. Your brain will thank you! 🧠🙏🙏

Worth thinking about isn't it?

What springs to mind when you see the 'A' word? Drugs? Alcohol? Smoking or va**ng? Gambling maybe? All very valid responses.

Here are some others to think about - food, dieting, a particular person, routine behaviours (OCD), overworking, exercise, gaming, s*x, p**n or risky behaviours.

With substances, many of us start by using them just for fun. Trouble is that over time they will impact brain chemistry. Instead of producing your own Dopamine you start to rely on the substance to do it for you. Then before long you need more and more substance to get the same impact.

Many addictions start with a need to manage an overwhelming, stressful or traumatic event or series of events. We use them as a crutch to distract from our thoughts and negative self perceptions.

Two things to take away Little Legends if you feel this is you or someone close to you:

1 - if you feel that this is you, YOU ARE a Little Legend and you are capable of overcoming any addiction when you feel ready to heal.

2 - if someone close to you is struggling with an addiction ask them this simple question; if I was the genie in the lamp and could grant you 3 wishes what would they be?

They might just surprise you by bringing up hopes and dreams that, to them where they are now, might seem impossible to fulfil. All you need to do is start planting little seeds of hope. What if that could happen? What would be different?

Sending love 💗

Some Friday Humour 🥸

Think this is nonsense?

It really as as simple as this: when your parents told you that the sky was blue and the grass was green, did you question it? Did you Google it to make sure?

This is how easy it is to form beliefs. And whether or not those beliefs serve you are based on a number of factors such as how you're feeling at the time, your mood, what sort of day you've had, whether you're tired, previous similar experience that didn't go well etc....

Was a belief based on input from someone else? Maybe someone in authority? Or someone special who you trust?

Two things I would love you Little Legends to take from this post today:

1 - you are the expert on you, no one else. People can assume they know what's best for you. They can assume aspects of your character but they absolutely cannot KNOW you and what you need. A person who truly loves or cares about you won't TELL they will ASK and LISTEN.

2 - anything you have learned that doesn't serve you can be un-learned. You absolutely can re-programme you to allow that Little Legend to shine through unapologetically.

When you're ready to start that journey I'll be ready to welcome you 💜

https://www.angie-hayes-hypnotherapy.co.uk/

For me, this is where the Healing Journey begins.

Unlearning the beliefs and behaviours that no longer serve us and replacing them with the beliefs and behaviours that resonate with who we are becoming and living the life we want to truly be living.

Yes you can achieve the things you want in life, however there is a caveat. Mindset is everything. The right mindset is the fuel that gives life to the power to change.

Would you like to begin that journey?

#

Yep - that's me sometimes 🤪

I just love this 💗

It sums up the Solution Focused approach perfectly.

We use the language of hope while we take time out to better understand ourselves and these two things combined can only lead to one thing - positive changes in life.

Never forget that every one of you is a Little Legend, capable of so much more than you give yourselves credit for.

Get in touch to start that journey of self-discovery

Groundbreaking stuff 😊💜

Let's look behind the scenes at SFTA

This is me and Lee, a lecturer at SFTA Birmingham. We had an intriguing session testing out the Hypnophix while monitoring our brainwaves as we chatted. It's fascinating to witness how our brains respond and adapt in real-time!

I must admit, though, that relaxation wasn't exactly on our minds during this test.
I'm definitely getting the 1980's headband vibe!

😄 Follow us as we delve deeper into the fascinating world of hypnotherapy and brainwaves.

One of the most important aspects of working in a solution focused way is to meet our clients where they are without judgement.

It’s taught me so much about not trying to change people to fit in with my view of the world or the ways things should be.

Sometimes things are as they are and people are where they are and we just need to accept that fact. We can either walk alongside them until they feel ready to make positive changes learn to accept them just as they are 💜

I used these techniques with my husband Andy when he wasn’t getting the results he wanted despite all of the training he was doing.

A change of mindset leads to that ‘flow’ state talked about here.

Remember- you are all little legends and you have all the answers you need that are just right for you.

If you can work in your mindset you will be the happiest and bravest little soul you can possibly be no matter what life throws at you 💜💜

The Power of Visualization Techniques😃

Athletes have been harnessing the power of visualization for decades, recognizing its ability to improve technique, build confidence, and cultivate a winning mindset.

Visualization allows athletes to mentally prepare and prime themselves for success, Whether imagining the perfect golf swing, scoring a crucial goal, or crossing the finish line ahead of the competition.

At SFTA Hypnotherapy Training, we offer a unique approach to optimizing sports performance through Clinical Hypnotherapy. Our training is designed to cater to the needs of both amateur enthusiasts and professional athletes, providing them with the tools to utilize visualization techniques effectively.

In our focused sessions, athletes learn to tap into their subconscious minds, where beliefs, habits, and attitudes are formed and can be reshaped. Moreover, hypnotherapy enables athletes to cultivate a state of heightened concentration and focus known as "flow." Through regular hypnotherapy sessions, athletes can train their minds to enter this flow state more consistently, facilitating peak performance on demand.

Is this an area that you would like to work in?
