Being anxious is a distressing and limits the possibilities and choices available to you. How much easier life is when you don’t suffer from anxiety. Imagine the places you could go, things you could do, jobs you could enjoy, people you could meet and socialise with. Think how your life can open up, because life without anxiety is perfectly possible.
Find out moreOne of the major barriers to Real Happiness is Trauma. Not everybody has the same reaction to a ‘traumatic’ event. Some people deal with the upset themselves, others need help to make sense of it and some people can’t get over it. In this case, we say it is ‘stuck’ and is a sign of something significant behind the loss.
The first step is to separate the emotions from the event. In this way the need to relive it disappears and you can pick-up your life once more.
Feeling ‘burnt out’ is a miserable place to be and it needs to be fixed so that you can find real happiness again. In essence, burnout is a mental and physiological reaction to demands upon you which overwhelm you.

My mind was often racing and I was struggling to sleep-I had never felt like this before. Caroline was immediately responsive to my outreach - and warm, personal and confident she could help. And she did - my sessions became a haven away from the everyday stress of the job, and in a short time she identified practical helpful ways I could tackle my anxieties. I always slept deeply after I had my session. I felt seen and supported but also challenged. It has been invaluable in moving me forward and putting things in perspective. I always considered myself someone with good self-awareness, but there were some things I couldn’t see without her help. If you are feeling at sea, I can only encourage you to start the conversation!

It’s impressed on us these days to be accountable for our actions, and I have always encouraged my clients do the same; accepting responsibility for ‘creating it’ means you’re in a strong position to ‘un-create it’. But, what if it’s not your fault? In 1998 a ground-breaking study carried out by Dr Vincent Felitti and Robert Andas clearly demonstrated the inextricable link between the level of adversity and trauma experienced in childhood and the illnesses that emerge in adults.
