The Return to Ease is for you if you are struggling with chronic stress, burn out and related conditions. You may be feeling constantly tired but too wired to fully relax, or anxious or emotionally reactive. Or you may be suffering from insomnia, fatigue, headaches, digestive issues and pain and yet your medical tests come back normal. The programme is based on 4 modules but we will tailor the relative emphasis of each module to your needs and desired goals.
Before anything else, we work on helping your body feel less like you're bracing for the next thing. When your nervous system is no longer stuck in stress mode, something shifts — your energy returns, your mind gets clearer, and you stop feeling so easily triggered or overwhelmed. This is the foundation that makes the deeper work of the following sessions possible.
You'll come away understanding:
Why your body reacts the way it does — and how stress shows up as physical symptoms
Your own patterns: what sends you into overdrive (or shutdown), and why
Practical tools to release tension and stress from your body, so you feel calmer and more energised day to day.
You learn how to attend to your emotions rather than being controlled by them. This includes:
What emotions are and how they affect your wellbeing
How to process and release difficult emotions along with the outdated mental stories that influence them.
3. Address limiting beliefs
You will learn how your thoughts and beliefs can keep you stuck, how to get unstuck and how to avoid returning to old (stress and illness ) patterns. You will:
Identify, challenge and reframe your automatic negative thoughts
Identify personality traits contributing to your stress, symptoms or obstacles to creating changes in your life
Learn how to create and enforce healthy boundaries.
4. Overcome fear of symptoms
This module is for people experiencing physical stress-related symptoms. Neuroscience has discovered that the brain can create chronic pain and symptoms such as fatigue as a response to perceived danger even when there is no longer damage or illness in your body. In this module you will:
Learn how the brain perpetuates physical symptoms after illness or injury
Understand why fear of physical symptoms creates more symptoms
Master brain retraining tools to break out of the symptom fear cycle.
