In my cabin I work with people to help them overcome their anxiety and other unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

All these anxious thoughts can be constant, powerful and overwhelming.

The more thoughts you have, the worse the scenarios build up in your head and fill your mind.

The more you experience, the more fuel is given to these unwanted thoughts.

Then it can feel like it has spiralled out of your control.

I often hear from the people I work with say I’m useless, I’m stupid, I’m incapable of doing anything right. This is because they are stuck in that cycle of self-talk and self-doubt based on their past.  

Your brain responds to your thinking and perceived threats. The fear response takes over your emotions, getting bigger and bigger and you lose the ability to think rationally and logically.

As your fear response kicks in you will either fight the anxiety or take flight to escape it.

During all of this the physical changes kick in like a racing heart or a knotted sick feeling in your stomach.

My role as a coach is to change how you feel about a situation. Although I can’t change what’s happened in the past, I can certainly change how you think about it.

Coaches do this by using a pattern interrupt to deliberately change your thinking and focus to something else.

NLP teaches you to recognise the non-verbal cues that your body uses to respond to what’s going on around them.
