Katie Windle on how hypnotherapy can help us empty our ’stress buckets’ and live without anxiety

Middling Along

My guest this time is Katie Windle: Katie is a qualified hypnotherapist and psychotherapist and uses solution focused methods to help those who are being held back in life by anxiety and limiting beliefs to get control back and live a life of joy and ease.

Katie’s own experiences with anxiety, brain fog, overthinking and sleep problems, combined with a stressful teaching career caused her to seek both a solution to her symptoms, and ultimately a change of career.

In this episode we cover:

• How our brains work under stress and why living in constant ‘survival mode’ with a full ‘stress bucket’ creates so many problems
• How getting back into the intellectual part of our brains makes us calmer, more motivated, happier and can cope more easily (sounds good right?!)
• How our brains work whilst we sleep to empty our ‘stress bucket’ and how hypnotherapy can help us to do the same – and create new patterns of responding
• How long it generally takes to create new neural pathways in the brain
• The range of issues that hypnotherapy may be able to help with
