The Anxiety Underneath the Anxiety
It’s rarely the anxiety itself that does the most damage. It’s the anxiety about having it.
This isn't a quirk of personality or a sign of weakness. It's a documented, neurologically grounded phenomenon. The waiting, the dreading, the anticipating — these aren't just unpleasant. In measurable, neurological terms, they can be harder on the nervous system than the thing itself..
How to Support Someone You Love Through Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Most of what’s written about anxiety is written for the person experiencing it. Very little is written for the people who love them. This post is for you.
If you’re reading this, you already care about getting this right. That matters more than you might realise.
What Your Triggers Are Asking You to Pay Attention To
So many of us move through life reacting to things without ever stopping to ask why.
Something in you contracts, braces, or fires up before you’ve even consciously registered what just happened.

Emotional regulation isn’t suppressing how you feel, and it isn’t forcing yourself to “stay calm” through sheer effort. It’s the capacity to experience an emotion fully, without that emotion completely hijacking your thinking, your body, or your behaviour.
Anxiety isn’t your personality.
If anxious has become your default setting, this isn’t who you are. Here’s the real explanation for anxiety — and why RTT Hypnotherapy can change it.
You can’t think your way out of anxiety.
I used to think somatic techniques were something people who liked yoga did. My anxious, busy mind found anything that slow deeply unappealing.
