get yourself into a better mood by learning about your brain

When you actually stop and think about it what are we taught about our brain?

I use brain science to aid each client throughout their solution-focused journey to get under the bonnet of their brain, and find more empathy towards themselves, and how things work at their best or when things are running under par.

BRAIN SCIENCE WE COVER
The areas of the brain called the amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus

• How do these areas affect mood and behaviours i.e. fight, flight, free or fold modes
• How the areas or the 'primitive brain' can over time end up running as the default settings of anxiety, depression and/or anger.

• How understanding more about how these key areas of the brain work can help clients make incremental lifestyle changes that can help them cope better with the feelings associated with anxiety, depression and/or anger felt over time i.e. tiredness, obsessional thinking, being hyper-vigilant  
• Knowing what 'triggers' these areas of the brain can help make different choices around the use of stimulants i.e. Red Bull or coffee to aid with feeling less stressed
• How much more compassion do clients find for themselves and others because they can discern what is a 'primitive brain' behaviour or habit vs' the person. 

Doesn't it make you think?

I certainly was shocked at how little I knew.

Having already done a variety of personal and professional development over the decades I thought I was quite self aware. But when I really began learning about my brain via solution-focused hypnotherapy through my own series of 12 sessions as a client via Sarah Smith @ Solution Focused Hypnotherapy London.

These sessions led me into training via CPHT Liverpool as I felt so amazing across all areas of my life, and it was so gentle and step-by-step, and easy to integrate into my day-to-day life. ​So if this blog nudges your curiosity about the power of knowing more about your brain and regaining more control over your life - let's set up a phone call to talk more...
