I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined my recent webinar: "Transforming Menopause: The Vital Role of Mental Wellbeing". Thank you so much for your time and eagerness to participate.

I would also like to express my appreciation to those of you who registered but couldn't attend. A few days ago, I sent you a recording, so please be sure to check your inboxes. (Don't forget to look in your spam and promotion folders as well, as group emails can sometimes find their way there.)

I am truly thankful to all of you who generously shared your personal experiences, insights, and takeaways. I received many wonderful comments, and I'd like to share some of them with you:

“My main takeaways are awareness of the potential changes coming with peri/menopause.; tips for being ready; understanding implications on our mental health; awareness of the need for self-care mentally and physically through this important period.”

“I wish I had learned this information sooner. We need to teach women and girls about their bodies and all the stages of life. I didn’t realize that I was in peri-menopause until it was over.”

“I learned to think of menopause as a gift and of myself as a wise woman instead of just wanting this time to be over with.”

“Thank you for doing the hypnosis session. It was a first for me and very interesting.”

"Holistic care" for menopause from each aspect was a great learning”.

“ I learned that menopause is a time to embrace the depth of yourself and rise into a wise leader, not just rely on HRT to cope with daily life”.

“The last part (hypnosis session) was relaxing and very peaceful for me. Recently on the radio I listened to a program where they discussed how most of the people are not ready (in terms of knowledge and being informed) to go through this period. So, this work is very relevant.”

“Thank you so much for this talk. Greatly appreciated and needed.“

It's incredibly rewarding to see how the insights I shared during the event resonated with you, and my hope is that you now feel better prepared to navigate the menopause journey with ease and embrace holistic self-care.

If you have any questions, need further information, or would like to provide feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be delighted to hear from you.

This is an invitation to all of the ladies "of a certain age" 😅💖who are going through peri/menopause🌸

In my workshop, I'll share some new insights, helpful tips, and skills to manage these symptoms, so you can embrace this transformation with ease, confidence, and empowerment – becoming the best version of yourself! 🌺
As a special gift to you, I'll also hold a soothing hypnotherapy session to make your menopausal journey a bit smoother.
But I want to hear from you: What specific topics or concerns would you like me to cover in the workshop? Your input is invaluable, so please share your thoughts in the comments or send me a message. 🗣️
While I'm still finalizing the exact date and time, I'm aiming for next Thursday, October 26, at 7:30 PM (Japan Time). Stay tuned here for registration details. 📆

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking at The British School in Tokyo about tackling exam stress and anxiety. It was amazing to see 120 high school students in attendance, eager to learn new ways to cope with this common issue faced by nearly 70% of students worldwide. Some were more attentive than others 😴😅, but I'm confident that they all received my message and will apply some of the tips I shared to make their upcoming exams a breeze 🌬️. It was an incredible experience and I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on these students' lives.

Few things bring me greater joy than seeing my clients successfully overcome their childhood trauma and thrive in their lives. Today, I am feeling grateful for a wonderful testimonial I received from a happy client who has moved on from their past and found peace and happiness in their present.

Working with clients to overcome childhood trauma can be a challenging and emotionally intense process, but it is also one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Seeing the growth and progress of my clients as they heal and move forward in life is truly inspiring, and it reminds me of the incredible resilience and strength of the human spirit.

To all of my clients who have bravely faced their past and taken steps to create a brighter future, I want to say thank you. Your courage and determination inspire me every day, and I feel honored to have played a small part in your journey of healing and growth.

If you or someone you know is struggling with childhood trauma or other mental health challenges, know that there is hope and help available. Don't hesitate to reach out to a qualified mental health professional for support and guidance on your path to healing and recovery.

🌸🌸Sakura Season: The Mental Health Benefits of Cherry Blossom Viewing 🌸🌸

Here in Japan, everything is in the spirit of sakura (cherry blossom) these days. 🌸
Sakura is a national flower of Japan, and it symbolizes the beauty and fragility of life. It blooms for only two weeks, and this short period is a time for people to reflect on the transience of life and appreciate the fleeting moments. It also signifies the start of a new school year and a season of renewal and new beginnings. The cherry blossom trees are highly admired and celebrated, and people gather with friends and family for hanami, or cherry blossom viewing parties, to enjoy the scenery and socialize.

Here in Kobe, where I live, we were blessed with beautiful weather and had many chances to enjoy sakura this spring. I went alone, while walking my dog, and also had a picnic with my family in a park full of sakura trees.

How about you? Did you get your portion of spring gorgeousness?

The blooming season is coming to an end, and I want to remind you to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the cherry blossoms (or any other spring blossoms) before they're gone for another year, because it can benefit your mental health anD emotional wellbeing in many ways.

🌸 Research has shown that being surrounded by natural beauty, like cherry blossoms, can reduce stress and anxiety, improve our mood, and increase our overall sense of well-being.
🌸Moreover, spending time in nature can increase our attention capacity, improve our memory and cognitive functioning, and even boost our immune system. 🌿🌳🌻🌺
🌸During the sakura season, people often gather with friends and loved ones to enjoy the beautiful scenery, have a picnic, and celebrate the arrival of spring. By connecting with others, we can feel a sense of belonging, reduce feelings of loneliness, and improve our overall sense of happiness.

🌱 As the season changes and the cherry blossoms fall, it's a time of reflection and introspection. The sakura symbolizes new beginnings and brighter days ahead, providing hope and inspiration for the future. So, why not take advantage of this magical season and prioritize our inner calm and joy.

And remember, even after the blossoms are gone, the positive impact they have on our mental health and emotional well-being can last long after the season has ended. Therefore, let's savor the moments and look forward to the new beginnings and opportunities ahead.

A juicy conversation you don't want to miss!
If you are feeling "dangerous" today, listen to this beautiful, honest and hilarious episode about "joys" of menopause!

🔥🌡️🥵The Heat is On: Mental Health Issues in Menopause 😓💭💊

Ladies, are you feeling like your mind is playing tricks on you during menopause?
As a woman at a "certain age", I find myself participating in an increasing number of "meno" conversations. And, let me tell you, they are not particularly joyful 😅 The ladies I speak with, both clients and friends, are all raw and real, hilarious and courageous, amazing and powerful women, but they (actually, we) all struggle with this life stage in a different way. Does it have to be so hard?

We all have to talk about something that doesn't get enough attention: mental health issues during menopause.

First off, let me say this: you are not alone. Menopause can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and the mental health challenges that come with it can be tough to deal with. But fear not, my ladies! There are things you can do to help make the transition smoother.

Let's talk about one of the most common mental health issues that women face during menopause: depression. It's estimated that up to 20% of women experience depression during this time. Maybe you are experiencing it too. If you're feeling down for long periods of time, it's important to seek help from a healthcare provider. But here are a few things you can do to help ease the symptoms:

🏌🏻‍♀️Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins, which can help improve your mood. Even a 30-minute walk each day can make a massive difference. But, don't exercise too much either, because the strenuous exercise will create cortisol, which we know, comes with stress. It's all about making it feel just enough for you.

👬🏻Socialize: Spending time with friends and family can help combat feelings of loneliness and isolation. Make plans to get together with people you enjoy being around. Or just join me for some "meno" talk and let some steam out!

🎸Practice self-care: This means taking time for yourself to do things that make you happy. It could be as simple as taking a bubble bath, reading a book, or indulging in your favorite hobby, doing your nails, petting your dog, or just allowing yourself to do nothing at all. An afternoon power nap can do wonders.

😴Get enough sleep: Menopause can wreak havoc on your sleep, but it's important to prioritize rest. Try establishing a bedtime routine and creating a relaxing sleep environment. I also read somewhere that bananas have some chemicals that help sleep, so eating one before going to bed can help.

💚Consider therapy: Talking to a mental health professional can help you work through the emotional challenges that come with menopause. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Another mental health issue that can rear its ugly head during menopause is anxiety. It's estimated that up to 10% of women experience anxiety during this time. Here are a few tips to help you manage those anxious feelings:

😮‍💨Practice deep breathing: Taking slow, deep breaths can help calm your mind and body. "Belly breathing" (expanding your lower belly when inhaling) is especially helpful to calm down your nervous system.

🧠Challenge negative thoughts: Anxiety often stems from worrying about things that may never happen. Try to focus on the present moment and challenge those negative thoughts when they arise.

🍵Cut back on caffeine and alcohol: Both of these substances can exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Try limiting your intake or cutting them out altogether.

🤸Get moving: Exercise is not only great for improving your mood, but it can also help reduce anxiety. Exercise is actually the number 1 natural medicine for most mental health issues.

🧘‍♂️Try relaxation techniques: Yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques can help you manage anxiety symptoms.

Remember, it's important to prioritize your mental health during menopause, and be very kind to yourself. Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you need it. You've got this, ladies!

If you read this until the end, then this probably relates to you personally. How is your menopause going? What are your struggles and coping strategies? Do you have some questions that I could possibly answer?
Let me know, I'd love to hear from you!

PERIMENOPAUSE, LOW MOOD, AND ANXIETY (Client's testimonial)

My client T* was struggling with low energy, mild depression, worry, anxiousness, and feeling overly emotional. She felt like her hormones ruled her life and life sometimes felt all too much. That was before. But now, she is enthusiastic, energetic, and relaxed, enjoying her life fully. No medications were involved, not even supplements. All it took was one hypnotherapy session. Just one!

"When I first contacted Mira, I was feeling lethargic and didn't have any motivation to do anything in my life. I was feeling kind of depressed. I also was emotional, worrying about a lot of little things and feeling anxious most of the time. All of those things started arising 3 years ago when I got into peri-menopause. I felt like my hormones ruled my life and sometimes life felt all too much. I tried some online self-help exercises and reading, and tried to motivate myself to do workouts but it all felt like a chore. I wasn't enjoying anything.
Someone recommended Mira in a Facebook group I belong to, saying that she helped them get rid of perimenopausal hot flashes and night sweats, so I decided to take my chances and contact her. When we met I felt an instant connection and I was very impressed with her insight into my life. She just “got” me. Her communication was consistent and she was on top of all our scheduled meetings. Mira is a very caring and compassionate person. She is also light and fun to work with. I think working with her in person would have been wonderful, but since I don’t live in Japan, we were meeting online.
Even though it was quite hard and emotional to go through the session, I liked the hypnosis treatment, it was interesting to see how you can connect with the subconscious mind. Those memories were always there but clearly not in my conscious awareness. It was also interesting to see how the emotions that arose from my first memory of fear continued throughout my life experiences.
Now, after my treatment is finished, I feel more at peace and have found my internal motivators for life. I am enthusiastic about my life, mostly, although I still have days, I am confident that I can deal with them quickly. I almost don’t feel any anxiety at all, and I am worrying less about the things that are out of my control. In addition to that, I have found my voice and I am not afraid to use it. I feel more confident in my life.
I would definitely work with Mira again. I feel grateful to have found her and to have had the funds and opportunity to work with her. It was a very helpful, pleasurable, and successful experience, and I’m sure, I’ll be back for another dose of Mira's therapy."

Migraine World Summit - Register Today 08/02/2023

Migraine is the most prevalent neurological disease in the world, and 1 in 7 people have it. This makes it 1 billion people on Earth. I was one of them and perhaps you are too. If you or someone you know suffer from it, I highly recommend you sign up for the new Migraine World Summit (March 8-16, 2023). I just did!
I am looking forward to hearing world-famous headache specialists talk about new advancements in treating migraine, and I'm hoping to hear more about alternative and complementary treatments, including hypnotherapy and subconscious work. I also hope that the mental health side will be covered in more detail than in previous years, because depression, anxiety, and unresolved emotional issues are tightly linked to migraine. I am especially looking forward to hearing dr. Gretchen Tietjen, whose research emphasizes a strong link between migraine and childhood trauma, and Dr. Dawn Buse, whose precious work helped thousands of migraine sufferers find psychological relief.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn new options and coping skills. Participation is free, and the quality and amount of shared knowledge are priceless.

A little bit of seasonal therapy humour from your therapist 😉 Merry Christmas, everyone 🧑‍🎄🎁🎄

19/12/2022

AFRAID OF SANTA CLAUS?

"What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus?"
"Claustrophobic!"..says the joke.
Cute and funny, but absolutely incorrect!
Claustrophobia is the fear of small spaces, such as elevators, tiny rooms with low ceilings, closets, and other enclosed spaces. Luckily, Santa Cause doesn’t suffer from this one, otherwise, he wouldn’t risk squeezing his chubby body through the tight chimney just to deliver us presents🧑‍🎄🎁🎄. However, there is a real, legitimate fear of Santa Claus. It is called Santaphobia, or Clausophobia, and it is typically suffered by young children who encountered Santa Claus. The fear is linked to Christougenniatikophobia, fear of Christmas, or broader, Hagiophobia, fear of saints or holy things.
Phobias come in all shapes and sizes. Some are more common (Agoraphobia - fear of public spaces, Arachnophobia - fear of spiders, or Hemophobia - fear of blood), but some are rare and rather peculiar, such as Pogonophobia - the fear of beards 🧔, Porphyrophobia - fear of color purple 🟣, Mageirocophobia - fear of cooking🧑‍🍳, or Ephebiphobia - the fear of teenagers 😳). And the list goes on and on because there is an infinite number of objects and situations that may create a phobia.
Common or peculiar, phobias can wreak havoc on your daily life. However, you don’t have to, and you shouldn’t embrace it and push through it! Phobias are learned, and they can be unlearned if you are willing to. Luckily, most phobias are easily treated with therapy.
Rapid Transformational Therapy is incredibly effective in eliminating fears and phobias. If you would like to celebrate Christmas free of Clausophobia, Claustrophobia, or any other kind, send me a message and I can help you let it go for good, in as little as one session😉

WHY SHOULD YOU WORK WITH ME?

I mean, why wouldn't you?
As a therapist, I am compassionate, accepting, and non-judgmental, but also quite directive when needed. My two main duties are to free my clients from their past “baggage”, and to empower them to step into the future on their own terms. I am able to do that well because I have decades of training and experience in psychology and healing. I use a variety of tools and strategies to help my clients find freedom from their issues, the main being Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), which is a form of advanced clinical hypnotherapy, that makes changes at the subconscious level, and can transform lives in a variety of areas.
RTT is a complete solution-focused treatment, based on deeply emotional work, offering fast, effective, and long-lasting change. It is a super-therapy for people who take their wellness and happiness seriously. It is built on the premise that your subconscious mind holds the information you need to understand the cause of what is holding you back. This method gets to the root cause of the issue easily and quickly, helping you heal emotional wounds and break negative thinking and behavioral patterns, allowing you to truly thrive. It phenomenally works with a majority of psychological and physical issues, providing exceptional results, rapidly. Most of the issues are resolved in just one to three sessions!
In addition to RTT, which I use to help clients heal on the subconscious level, I also apply a variety of new, scientifically proven tools from client-centered counseling, positive psychology, and neuroscience, to assure healing on a conscious level, empowering my clients to live the life they deserve to have.

HOW EXACTLY RAPID IS RAPID TRANSFORMATIONAL THERAPY?

This is the question people frequently ask me, and here is my usual answer.
You can experience a change in three ways: immediately, gradually, retroactively, or as a combination of the three.
The most immediate change is an astonishing emotional relief. This is what clients notice first - like a massive weight is lifted off their shoulders. Other immediate changes you may notice in your physiology, thought patterns, and behaviors soon after the session.
However, some changes are incremental, and you can see small, consistent shifts over time. Examples of that are gradual and steady diminishing of physical pain, depression, anxiety, and looping negative thoughts. Finally, some changes can also be retroactive - you may not notice it immediately, but one day you look back and see all the things that have changed in your life. When I do three months follow-ups, clients are often in awe, saying "I don't even remember that it was that bad". It's important to be on the lookout for those too in the months after the session.

Results obviously vary from client to client and depend on the severity of the issue and how long the client struggles with it. However, the screenshot below is an example of what I see very often in my practice.

I quickly followed up with a client whose main issue was chronic migraine of high intensity (7-8 pain level), "spiced up" with anxiety, insomnia, and specific food cravings. Here is her feedback only four days after our session. I have never heard that any other kind of therapy or medication worked as quickly as that. Quite rapid and awesome, don't you think?

This is meant to be hilarious, but it is not uncommon for men to resist working with a female therapist, for fear that she will not be “on their side”.
Fear not, dear men, female therapists will not gang up against you because of feminism. I am assuring you that we are equally caring, compassionate, non-judgmental, and impartial to all our clients, regardless of their gender.

BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU CALL "MY"

I talk to many people who struggle with various health issues, such as migraine, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and so on. Interestingly, when they describe the issue that bothers them and that they desperately want to get rid of, people repeatedly call it “my” or “mine”...

“My anxiety”, “my migraine”, “my depression”, “my low self-esteem", “my back pain”...

We all do this unconsciously, because “our” problem is special to us, we live with it, we deal with it, and we quite often identify with it. However, this creates serious conflict in our minds, it keeps us stuck and it obstructs healing. Words like "my" and "mine" are words of ownership, so, you shouldn’t use them to describe something you don't want to own.

You can say "my children", "my career", "my house", “my body”, because you love them and want to keep them, but you should never say “my depression”, "my migraine", "my disease", "my debt" or even "my ex-boyfriend".

Use "the" instead, as in “the depression”, "the migraine", "the disease", or "the ex-boyfriend", etc... because if you say "my", you own them, and your mind wants you to keep them around. But they are not yours, you don't want to keep them, and you want them out of your life.

Be careful about what you call "my".

PUSH FORWARD
Drinking is a common symptom of depression in men. But, drinking is only a presenting problem, an unhealthy coping strategy. The real problems are hidden deeper in the subconscious. When we discover the real problems and heal the deep original wound, the problematic behavior starts to dissipate. This is because the wound that is already healed doesn't need numbing down. Old coping behaviors become obsolete. This client's testimonial shows exactly that.

"I was struggling through a break-up and the general loneliness I've had since childhood. I tried drinking the feelings away. I knew it was only a temporary treatment but my idea was to drink during the bad times and to power through every other time. Unfortunately, I would have whole weeks and months of me drinking every day.

When it became unbearable, that’s when I decided to try hypnosis. I always knew of it being effective, but I never looked into it further than that. Dr. Mira has been very supportive and an excellent listener. I immediately felt comfortable sharing all of my problems without any filter.

Soon after the hypnotherapy session, my mood has gotten a lot better. There are still many problems that I am figuring out, but the treatment definitely gave me a good push forward. I like how although the main core of the treatment was hypnotherapy, we were still exploring the sources of my problems and possible solutions outside of the session itself.

In addition to my improved mood, I also got a sudden energy boost. I didn't expect to be cleaning my apartment as much as I am! I was never really known to be a neat person, so that's probably been the biggest unexpected positive side effect I've noticed.

I feel like I had many problems, to begin with, so I didn't expect all of my problems to magically disappear. I occasionally still feel sluggish and finding motivation could still use some work. However I did definitely feel the push forward from our session, so working with Dr. Mira again is surely an option I'll always keep in my mind! I would recommend others to work with her if they feel lost about finding out the root of their problems and as well as on how to find a solution. The guidance and clarity from the treatment are very useful, so I would recommend others give it a chance. The session was a great first major step forward to maturing through my bad habits. I'm truly thankful for the time and understanding I got."
