Your mind
We traditionally think of your mind as being divided into two aspects – the conscious and the unconscious (sometimes called the subconscious).
The conscious mind is the thinking, planning and experiencing part of your brain. Knowing the right way to think, having planning strategies, and choosing your experiences is an important part of improving your life, and I can help you with that.
On a deeper level, many of our behaviours, habits and decisions are based on the work of your unconsious mind. This part of your brain is responsibile for the vast majority of your experience and there is still a great deal that we don’t understand. When changes are made at the unconscious level they can be incredibly powerful. Many of the techniques that I use are drawn form Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis and Timeline Therapy. These techniques are designed to work safely with the unconsious mind. You can change habits, overcome phobias and PTSD, and overcome anxiety and overwhelming emotions, using these approaches.
As well as the links in the text above, below are a selection of articles that explore different aspects of the mind. They explore the way we process our experience and how we think.
