Retrain Your Brain

Struggling with anxiety, confidence, or automatic emotional reactions that hold you back?

Do you ever feel like negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, lack of self esteem, guilt or lack of self confidence stop you from doing things you'd like to do or make those things so much harder to achieve?

Have you tried more traditional forms of therapy such as counselling or CBT but find that it hasn't helped?

Are you fed up with fluffy suggestions like "think positively", "have positive affirmations" or "just breathe"?

Do you ever think "I can rationalise this scenario in my head but my feelings don't follow - the minute I think about this I get nervous, even though I know I don't need to"?

What if you could get rid of automatic thoughts such as "I can't do this", "I'm not good enough", "I get too nervous", "I feel too guilty", "I'm not capable"?

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and mindset coaching can help! Rather than work on your conscious thoughts and beliefs ("think more positively", "let's talk about why you're feeling nervous", etc) my techniques change the automatic responses your brain makes to situations that you currently struggle with.

How? Is that even possible?

Yes! Imagine your favourite place and how you feel about this. Let's call this Place A and Feeling A.

Then imagine a place you really dislike and how you feel about this. Let's call this Place B and Feeling B.

Every time you think about Place A, you get Feeling A. Do you do this with your conscious mind? No, this happens automatically/with your subconscious mind. The same goes for Place B - you automatically get Feeling B.

Your brain therefore has made a link between Place A and Feeling A and a link between Place B and Feeling B.

What I can help you with is getting your brain to link Place B with Feeling A. So now, rather than having a negative emotion linked to Place B, you will have a positive emotion linked to it, without consciously having to work on this or work out why you feel like this.

This can help in many ways and different parts of life - just a few examples include:

feeling nervous about the thought of public speaking
feeling anxious about entering a social situation
feeling 'not good enough' or nervous for a sports competition
imposter syndrome
being scared of failing
being embarrassed of being judged by others

The best thing? Your subconscious brain is doing all of the work - without you even realising it.
