The smell triggers pleasure centres in our brain. It’s ‘social’, we love to ‘meet for coffee’. It’s sophisticated. It’s both a treat, and a medicine. We love it for its energising effects, we associate it with alertness,…

The CBT of the 'Two Wolves' philosophy
Using the 'Two Wolves Within Us' as a CBT visualisation regulation exercise...
In CBT we try to develop awareness of how we are thinking – how we are explaining the world to ourselves – and to build the skill of awareness and regulation so that we can correct dramatic negative styles, and develop instead a cool calm rational style, that embraces reality but is also looking at the positives. If we change how we think, we can change how we feel and behave. I find it very…

A Mindful CBT look at how to un-isolate yourself and enjoy socialising...
If your stress has become a disorder – whether low, moderate, or high, whether anxiety or depression – it is likely that you over-think and over-feel and over-react, and that your habits interfere with your enjoyment of life.

A CBT look at crooked thinking and being the cause of our own upsettness.
New evidence based practical science says that when stress becomes a disorder, it ‘causes a shift in thinking’ – as if you had put negative crooked gloomy glasses on, and view the world through them instead of with rational thinking skills.
