Speaker A [00:00:00]:

I have a question for you. When is the problem, not the problem? Paul Watzlawick, excuse the pronunciation, a renowned psychologist and philosopher, once shared a profound insight that reshapes how we think about challenges and solutions. He suggested the problem is not the problem. Yes. The problem is not the problem. The problem is how the client, how you, are trying to solve the problem. This statement, simple yet powerful, holds a very a key to understanding why we find ourselves stuck in cycles of frustration and failure when facing difficulties. Imagine you're trying to fix a leaky faucet a tap.

Speaker A [00:00:52]:

You're you've tried tightening a screw here, replacing a washer there, but the drip, drip, drip continues. Frustrated, you consider the falsehood to be the problem. But according to Vatslovic, the real issue lies in how you're attempting to fix it. Perhaps you're using the wrong tools, or maybe the actual problem isn't what you think it is. The faucet isn't the problem. The approach to solving it, is. Now, of course, this concept applies far beyond plumbing. It's relevant to personal relationships, workplace dynamics, and even in how we tackle internal struggles like anxiety or low self esteem.

Speaker A [00:01:44]:

Often, our instinctive solutions to problems like avoidance, confrontation, denial don't resolve the underlying issue. They might provide temporary relief, but the problem persists or even worse is worsens. Now let's say you're feeling overwhelmed at work. Your solution might be to work longer hours, skipping breaks, and bringing home bringing work home. Initially, it might seem like the right approach to manage your workload. However, over time, you find yourself more stressed, less productive and facing burnout. The problem wasn't the overload itself, but how you choose to handle it. A more effective solution might involve time management, delegation are discussing workloads, adjustments with your manager or colleagues.

Speaker A [00:02:48]:

Vatlavik's insight encourages us to step back and reassess not just the problems we face, but our strategies for solving them. It's about questioning our automatic reactions are considering whether they're truly effective or if they're just familiar parts leading us in circles. This shift in perspective can be liberating. It opens up a range of possibilities for creative problem solving like that we might have overlooked if we focus solely on the problem as we perceive it to be. In practice, this means being open to change, seeking advice, and being willing to try new approaches. It's about recognizing that our first instinct might not always be the best one, and that sometimes the solution lies in changing our own behavior, your own behavior, your thoughts, your attitudes rather than trying to change the external situation. It's an invitation to be more reflective and less reactive to embrace flexibility over rigidity and to approach challenges with curiosity rather than despair. Vaclavik's wisdom isn't just a psychological concept.

Speaker A [00:04:21]:

It's a practical guide for more effective problem solving in every aspect of our lives. Remember, when you're faced with a problem, don't just focus on the obstacle itself. Consider how you're trying to overcome it. Now sometimes the path to a solution starts with reevaluating our approach, your approach. By doing so, we can transform our struggles into opportunities for growth and learning. I have a question. What is it that you're currently not aware of? And if you allowed yourself to become aware, you might just solve the problem or find find a sought after solution. Try it.

Hello again, and thanks for being with me here today. So no matter where you are or maybe you're alone, maybe you're with somebody, maybe you're not feeling too good. So just bear with me, and, let's have a little chat. And what I want to talk to you today about is how do you take things personally? Yes. Think about that. Do you take things personally? Because when when feelings are very, very strong, they automatically overwhelm our rational intelligence and prevent a more subtle or wider viewpoint from being considered. In other words, that we're blocked off from resourcefulness or resources that exist or in our consciousness mind somewhere, and we're not able to access them. But do you take things personally? Because it matters how personally you take things, take events, and how pervasive, and how permanent you think the effects will be.

Consider this. If dinner didn't taste good, and you were the cook, would you tend automatically to think that it was your fault? Would you fail to think about whether the meal stayed in the oven too too long? Or perhaps because people you were cooking for arrived late to eat it, or whether the recipe instructions we're unclear. Perhaps you add a little a little too much salt. Would you worry about it for some time afterwards, berating yourself for spoiling the occasion rather than than just apologizing, shrugging it off and forgetting about it. Yes. How pervasive do you think events will be. In other words, pervasive being having a general broad application in your everyday life, affect affecting you, affecting you. So if you lost your job or failed to get offer the new one that you really wanted.

Would you tend to lose heart in everything? Might you see your whole life as a failure and respond negatively to suggestions from others that you should start looking in past years, new for a new job. How permanently do you think the effects will be for you? After all we're talking about you, wherever you are, or whoever you may be. After losing a job or failing to get a new one, would you think I'll never find that job, another job? If you failed an important exam, would you view your whole life, your entire life as a as a failure, being delighted by that 1 single event. Think of some of the setbacks or sorrows that are making you miserable in your life now, and ask yourself the same sort of questions as to how you are responding to them, as opposed to reacting to them, responding or reacting. And I suppose in an ideal world, to respond is the more mature, the more resourceful, the far better place to be rather than reacting. Because when people take things personally and interpret events as having a far bigger or longer lasting impact than the the kid than is re really the case. They are overemphasizing or exacerbating the black and white thinking style of the emotional brain by generating more and more emotion. And I introduced, you know, the concept of cause and effect.

Now it's not the standard understand understanding of what cause and effect is, of what cause and effect, our understanding of what we mean when we say cause and effect, it's different. And I want you to consider this the difference of this. Because when you are at cause when you are at cause, you are the author of what happens. You are the instigator of what happens, you are the one who is detailing what it is you want in your life, what it is you want happening. However, when you are at effect, you are at the effect of other people, of other situations, situations outside of yourself, maybe organizations out of yours outside of yourself, you are at effect. In other words, I like to think of it that you hand away or hand over to that organization or that person or that whatever it is, you hand to them your remote control. And you say, look, go ahead, press my buttons, and I'll do what you want me to do. Or rather than saying, look.

The fear of experiencing painful or uncomfortable symptoms can itself be a source of anxiety. This is often referred to as anticipatory anxiety, where the individual becomes anxious about the possibility of having an IBS flare-up.

There's a strong connection between the gut and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis. The stress and anxiety caused by IBS can exacerbate gastrointestinal symptoms, creating a vicious cycle where anxiety worsens IBS, which in turn increases anxiety.

Ever dreamt of a life without the 'where's the bathroom?' panic?

Hello there, today I want to share some relaxation and stress management techniques that are especially beneficial for those of you dealing with IBS. We all know how stress can trigger IBS symptoms, so let's explore how to bring some peace to your body and mind.
First, let’s start with deep breathing. This is something you can do anywhere, anytime. Breathe in slowly through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your nose. I know this is different from what you might have previously been told. In through your nose and out through your nose. This helps activate your body’s relaxation response.
Mindfulness and meditation can also be incredibly effective. Even just a few minutes a day can reduce stress levels significantly. You can simply sit in a quiet place and focus on your breath. Perhaps even think of your favourite colour or walking on the beach or a relaxing forest.
Gentle exercise, like a leisurely walk, can also help manage stress. These activities not only calm the mind but also help regulate the digestive system, which is crucial for IBS management.
Remember, diet plays a huge role in managing IBS. Foods high in fat, caffeine, or sugar can increase stress and trigger symptoms. Opt for a balanced diet with plenty of fibre, and consider keeping a food diary to identify and avoid triggers.
Getting adequate sleep is also crucial. Poor sleep can exacerbate stress and IBS symptoms. Try to establish a regular sleep routine and create a restful environment in your bedroom.
Don’t underestimate the power of social support network, family and friends and seeking out the assistance from a reputable registered and certified therapist. Talking with friends who are positive and forward looking is extremely important. Joining support groups, or seeing a therapist as I mentioned can provide emotional relief and practical strategies to handle stress.
Journaling your thoughts and feelings, or using positive affirmations, can also be powerful tools. They help in understanding your emotional triggers and reinforcing positive mindsets. And a big plus about journalling is that when you get out onto paper or a word doc all the stuff thats been perhaps churning around in your mind - to a great extent it no longer has power over you. It can never be the same again and not have the same control over you it previously had. It changes. Do it regularly and notice the difference.
Remember, managing stress is not just about reducing IBS symptoms, but also about improving your overall quality of life. Try incorporating these techniques into your daily routine and notice the positive changes. You are now taking control and I’m here to support you on your journey to wellness.

How a Chain Saw accident opened my mind.

This is a time-limited offer and Terms and conditions apply

I was reminded of something recently when a client of mine who presented with the pain and discomfort of irritable bowel. The not being able to go places where they want to go, to do the things they they want to do. Always looking for the nearest toilet, needing to know the location of the nearest toilet/bathroom is. Having to bring a change of clothing in case of an accident. Always having to plan ahead and being mindful of every action and how doing the things you used to really enjoy are now majorly impacted by IBS. The sheer exhaustion of everything combined into what should be an enjoyable event, now becomes an almost nightmare.
There is ample published evidence that the gut-brain axis, is how the brain and the gut communicate and that where the communication between your brain and your gut is out of sync or not communicating as it should can provide an environment where IBS can take hold of you.
Hypnotherapy is an evidenced-based modality to greatly help in the alleviation of pain and bloating and discomfort. Giving you back your life.
A personalised plan, a bespoke plan, can easily be drafted and designed specifically for you to help you ease the pain, the discomfort, the not having to worry about where the toilet/bathroom is. That life can return to some form of normality.
