Why Gardening Could Be One of the Best Things You Ever Do for Your Anxiety

Do I Need Therapy or Coaching

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

By Nikki Brooke, Rapid Transformational Therapist, in collaboration with Catherine Carden, Coach and Consultant.

You feel stuck, coming up against the same issues. You have read the books, completed the courses and feel you should have the answers – but another year has passed and reaching those goals are far from insight!

So many people invest in pensions, houses, their children'education however until they hit a crisis, rarely invest in themselves!

Legendary investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett famously said, "The best investment you can make is in yourself" and we will always be counting on ourselves, this is a wise statement!

So why do we resist?

Often we know what we should be doing - Yet somehow, our behaviours are just set on automatic pilot.

Perhaps it's drinking more than you intend to, or in a loop with other coping habits. Perhaps you never get beyond firefighting issues at work and it becomes all consuming, or maybe it's being caught in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, perfectionism.

Whatever the habit looks like on the surface, the experience is often the same:

"Why do I keep doing this when I know better?"

There comes a point where those who recognise the stalemate situation, start looking for a coach, mentor or accountability partner and that makes complete sense.

After all, if you're not getting the results you want, surely you need more motivation, more discipline, better habits or a clearer strategy?

Maybe.

But what if the problem isn't a lack of discipline at all?

When Knowing Isn't the Problem

One of the biggest misconceptions we see is the belief that people stay stuck because they don't know what to do.

In reality, most high-performing professionals know exactly what they should be doing.

They know they should exercise more, sleep more, delegate more, set better boundaries, or stop reaching for the thing that gives temporary relief but creates bigger problems later!

The issue is rarely a lack of knowledge. The issue is that part of them is running an automatic programme. A programme that was created long before they were consciously aware of it.

The Invisible Handbrake

Imagine driving a car with the handbrake partially on.

You can still move forward. You can still make progress. You can still achieve success.

But everything feels harder than it should.

You need more effort.
More force.

More determination.

Eventually you start believing that success only comes through pressure. That exhaustion is normal. That pushing yourself is the answer.

Many of the people we work with have spent years trying to force themselves forward without realising they are fighting against subconscious patterns that are quietly pulling them backwards.

Patterns such as:

Fear of failure
Fear of judgement
Fear of rejection
The need to prove yourself
Perfectionism
People pleasing
Feeling responsible for everyone else
Believing your worth comes from achievement

These patterns often begin as protective mechanisms and at one point, they served a purpose. The problem is that the subconscious mind doesn't automatically update them as your life changes. So, the pattern continues running in the background long after it has stopped being useful.

Therapy Can Help

When someone is stuck in an automatic pattern, simply knowing what to do is often not enough.

This is where Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) works differently.

Rather than focusing solely on behaviour, RTT helps uncover the subconscious beliefs, emotional drivers and protective mechanisms that are creating the behaviour.

Because when the underlying programme changes, the behaviour often becomes much easier to change too.

Clients frequently tell me:

"I feel different, I just don't have those negative thoughts anymore"

That's an important distinction. Real change becomes much easier when you're no longer using willpower to battle against your own subconscious mind.

But Therapy Isn't the Whole Story

Let's imagine you've cleared the old patterns. The anxiety has reduced. The pressure has lifted. The unhealthy coping mechanism is no longer controlling your choices.

Now what?

This is where a different question emerges:

"What do I actually want my life to look like?"

Because removing what is holding you back creates space.

And that space needs filling and this is where coaching can be really helps

Where Coaching Comes into Its Own

I met up with Catherine Carden from Beyond the Box Coaching and Consulting and she told me that ‘Once the internal resistance has been reduced, you create what comes next. '

It’s like the path has been cleared and you can strategically move forward without the blocks, which usually show up as excuses, procrastination or justifications as to why you don’t move forward.’

It might involve:

Establishing or realising your purpose and aspiration
Growing a business
Improving communication
Creating healthier boundaries
Developing stronger leadership skills
Building or overcoming imposter syndrome
Creating a better work-life balance and avoiding burnout
Navigating a career transition or promotion
Setting goals that genuinely align with your values and establishing the system that supports goal achievement
Enhancing wellbeing habits that lead to improved productivity, energy and engagement

Coaching helps transform insight into action. It is a forward looking process…

Therapy and Coaching: Different Roles, Shared Goal

Therapy helps remove the obstacles. Coaching helps you travel further once they're gone.

Therapy asks: "What's been driving this?"

Coaching asks: "What would you like to create next?"

Therapy helps you understand why the handbrake is on. Coaching helps you decide where you're going once it's released. Neither is better.

They simply serve different purposes.

Do You Need Therapy or Coaching?

If you know what you want to do but can't seem to make yourself do it...

If you're stuck in patterns that feel automatic...

If you've tried motivation, discipline and accountability but still find yourself going round the same loop... Therapy may be the place to start.

If you've already made significant changes and are ready to create a bigger vision for your life, career, relationships or business... Coaching may be exactly what you need.

And for many people, the most powerful transformation comes from experiencing both at the right time. Or investing in therapy followed by coaching as a seamless personal and professional development intervention and tool.

Because perhaps the goal isn't to become more disciplined.

Perhaps the goal is to stop fighting yourself, so that your energy can finally be spent building the life you actually want.

Why Gardening Could Be One of the Best Things You Ever Do for Your Anxiety

Why Gardening Could Be One of the Best Things You Ever Do for Your Anxiety

By Nikki Brooke, Rapid Transformational Therapist, in collaboration with Hannah HS Garden Design, Cardiff

I love Spring, when nature signals new life – Daffodils brightening the gardens and roadsides with hope and possibility. It’s now early Summer as I write this and this is when I love getting out in the garden.

Just a half hour, watering the tomato plants, and other pots, picking a few weeds, I find it’s a small moment in time when I naturally switch off and on those occasions when I get more time out there, I definitely notice a sense or serenity as I become completely absorbed in what I’m doing.

When people think about reducing anxiety, they often think about meditation, breathing exercises or therapy.

And whilst those things absolutely have their place, getting outside, getting your hands dirty and growing something is a simple and often overlooked way to chill out.

It might sound too simple to make much difference, but science is increasingly showing that gardening can have a genuinely positive effect on our mental wellbeing.

As someone who works with people struggling with anxiety and unhealthy coping habits, I'm always interested in practical things that help calm the nervous system naturally.

The interesting thing is, gardening isn't just "a nice hobby."

It appears to work on several different levels at once.

Anxiety Isn't Just in Your Head

Many of the people I work with are incredibly capable.

They run businesses.
They manage teams.
They provide for families.

From the outside, life looks pretty good.

But underneath it all, they're running on pressure.

Their brain never quite switches off.

They're constantly thinking about the next job, the next email, the next problem.

Eventually, many people find themselves reaching for something to take the edge off.

For some, it's a few drinks. For others, it might be cocaine, gambling, overworking or simply scrolling endlessly on their phone.

I call this The Pressure Loop™.

Pressure → Anxiety → Coping → Relief → Shame → More Pressure.

The problem isn't that people are weak.

The problem is that their nervous system has forgotten how to feel safe.

Gardening gives the brain an opportunity to step out of that cycle.

There Really Is Something In The Soil

I met Hannah, a garden designer at a networking event, and over coffee we started chatting. She is a long time sufferor of anxiety since her early teens and, now in her 30s she's also suffered from post natal depression. Her saving grace was, as hard as it was, getting outside. It would start with standing with her face in the sunshine to getting down on the ground and pulling weeds. Now a busy gardener and garden designer she manages a busy business, family life whilst her anxiety is kept in-check.

“Being outside, like for lots of people, has always played a role in my life from the time I was small. I just never really thought about how much it was helping until I found it difficult to get up and go outside.”

“Taking time out, away from my emails or worries helps to quiet the noise. I put my headphones in, put on an audio book, podcast or music and I just do the work. Some of the great things about gardening is that it's never done, if you get it wrong then you just try again and learn. If there is pressure then it comes from ourselves. Nature just appreciates the effort we make to help it, big or small.”

She also told me of a fascinating discovery involving a naturally occurring soil bacterium called Mycobacterium vaccae .

Research suggests that exposure to this harmless microorganism may influence the body's immune system in ways that positively affect mood and stress resilience.

In animal studies, exposure to M. vaccae has been linked with reduced stress responses and behaviours associated with anxiety and depression. Scientists believe part of this may involve serotonin pathways—the same chemical messenger often associated with feelings of wellbeing and calm.

Now, to be clear, nobody is saying that digging the garden will cure anxiety or depression, but this definitely resonated with me and the calming effect gardening has on me!

It is just another piece of evidence showing that humans evolved alongside nature, and perhaps our brains still benefit from that connection more than we realise.

Your Brain Was Never Designed For Modern Life

Our ancestors didn't spend ten hours a day looking at screens, checking social media or sitting in meetings or checking notifications every few minutes.

The human brain evolved in natural environments. Being amongst the trees, bathing in rivers, waking to the birdsong and living in harmony with the changing seasons.

Modern neuroscience suggests that spending time in green spaces can reduce cortisol (our primary stress hormone), lower blood pressure and reduce the repetitive negative thinking patterns often associated with anxiety.

Many people describe feeling like they can finally breathe properly after spending an hour in the garden.

It turns out that feeling may be more than just our imagination.

Does Gardening Actually Change Your Brain?

Interestingly, studies looking at brain activity suggest that spending time in natural environments may encourage the brain to produce more alpha brain waves .

Alpha waves are associated with a state of relaxed alertness. It's the sort of state many people try to achieve through meditation, but also when we are in that creative flow state

The absorbing repetitive focus on pulling weeds, planting, watering and pruning occupies your mind just enough to stop overthinking, but not so much that it becomes stressful.

For many people, this creates a natural mindful state without ever having to sit cross-legged on a yoga mat.

Gardening Gives You A Different Kind Of Dopamine

One of the things we know about unhealthy coping habits is that they create huge spikes in dopamine.

The brain loves that quick reward, however the pleasure : pain balance means that after the high comes the crash, and eventually the brain starts craving more.

Gardening works differently.

For me, I love growing tomatoes. You plant them, care for them, watch them grow, notice the first flowers and then the little green tomatoes that bring me such silly delight as I see them ripen. There is such satisfaction in picking and eating something you have invested time an effort to grow

These are smaller, steadier rewards, ones that give you appreciation of effort and help rebuild a healthier relationship with pleasure and achievement.

It's not about replacing addiction with gardening. It's about teaching the brain that calm and satisfaction can come from ordinary life again.

"But I'm Not A Gardener..."

Me neither, I dabbled with various veggies over the covid lockdown – as a lot of us did and was surprised at how much I really got into it. You don't need a huge garden or head to the garden centre and spend a fortune. Hannah has a few tips on how you could get started.

Grow some herbs on the windowsill.

Mint, basil and rosemary are easy to grow and useful in the kitchen.

Plant something quick.

Sunflowers, lettuce or radishes give you visible progress quite quickly, which is surprisingly rewarding.

Spend fifteen minutes outside after work.

Leave your phone indoors and pull a few weeds, water your pots and maybe sweep the patio.

Allow your brain to understand that work has finished.

Visit a local garden centre.

Even walking amongst plants and greenery can help you slow down.

Get involved in a community allotment.

You don't just get fresh vegetables—you often gain connection, conversation and a sense of belonging too.

Sometimes The Smallest Things Create the Biggest Changes

Therapy can help change deep subconscious patterns, but there are other ways to support your journey

Exercise is brilliant for the body.
Good nutrition matters.

But sometimes recovery doesn't start with some huge life transformation.

Sometimes it starts with standing outside on a sunny evening, watering a few plants and noticing that, for the first time all day, your shoulders have dropped. Stepping away from pressure, emails, expectations. Just you, the fresh air and something quietly growing.

And perhaps that's exactly what your nervous system has been asking for all along.

Mind Games or Healing? Unravelling the differences between Hypnotherapy and Stage Hypnosis

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 17:33:33 GMT

Is Hypnosis just entertainment, o r is there more to it?

Hypnosis is a powerful tool used by both entertainers and therapists, but the difference lies in its purpose and outcomes. While stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy share similarities in technique, they have vastly different goals and effects.

Stage Hypnosis: It’s All an Illusion

We’ve all seen stage hypnosis shows where participants appear to lose control, acting out in hilarious or embarrassing ways. But is it real? Stage hypnosis is primarily a form of entertainment, creating the illusion that participants are completely under the hypnotist’s control. In reality, it's more about suggestion and showmanship than genuine mind control.

How does a stage hypnotist get people to do those embarrassing things?

Commanding Presence: A successful stage hypnotist knows how to project control and authority. The audience and participants often expect to be influenced, creating a psychological predisposition to follow along.
Selecting the Right Participants: Before the show, hypnotists often test audience members to find those who are most suggestible. These individuals are more likely to be open to suggestion, making them ideal for the performance.
The "Hypnotic Trance": Once selected, participants are induced into a deeply relaxed state backstage. On stage, it may appear that the hypnotist is controlling them, but in reality, they are highly focused and responding to social pressure and expectation.

Who’s Really in Control?

Despite appearances, participants in stage hypnosis are willingly surrendering control temporarily. They chose to be on stage, knowing they’ll be part of the show. In many cases, there’s a strong element of social compulsion—they follow along because they want to be part of the entertainment.

Participants often perform actions they wouldn’t normally do, but nothing extreme or against their personal values. If asked to do something they were truly uncomfortable with, they would snap out of the trance immediately, as the conscious mind is always present.

How Is Hypnotherapy Different?

Hypnotherapy, unlike stage hypnosis, is not about entertainment—it's a deeply therapeutic practice designed to address specific emotional, mental, or physical issues. It helps clients overcome challenges such as anxiety, phobias, and bad habits by accessing the subconscious mind.

Here’s how hypnotherapy works:

Willing Participation: Just like stage hypnosis, hypnotherapy requires a willing and engaged client. The process starts with an initial consultation where the therapist explains the method and addresses any questions or concerns.
Hypnotic Induction: During a hypnotherapy session, you’ll either sit comfortably or lie down while the therapist guides you into a deeply relaxed state, known as induction. Techniques like breathing exercises, visualization, and verbal suggestions are used to help you reach a heightened state of focus and relaxation.
Full Control: Unlike the illusions created in stage hypnosis, you remain fully aware and in control throughout the session. The hypnotist cannot make you do anything against your will. Instead, they help you access the subconscious mind to resolve issues and change negative thought patterns.
Therapeutic Goals: In hypnotherapy, the hypnotic state is used to uncover and address the root cause of the client’s problems. Whether it's regressing to past experiences or shifting deeply ingrained thought patterns, hypnotherapy helps remap neural pathways to bring about lasting change.

The Power of Hypnosis: A Tool for Transformation

In simple terms, hypnosis is a versatile tool, and how it’s used determines the outcome. Stage hypnosis demonstrates the mind’s ability to focus and respond to suggestion in a lighthearted, entertaining context. In contrast, hypnotherapy harnesses this same mental focus to promote self-development, healing, and personal growth.

When used for therapeutic purposes, hypnosis can be one of the most powerful methods for overcoming mental and emotional barriers. It's not just mind games—it's a proven technique for creating lasting change and improvement.

Hypnotherapy: Myths, Truths, and the Power of the Mind

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:42:04 GMT

D oes "Mind Control, Manipulation, Pocket Watches, and Hypnotic Swirls" come to mind when you think of hypnotherapy?

Many people are fascinated when I tell them I’m a hypnotherapist. Some imagine it’s a form of mind control or a mysterious art involving hypnotic swirls and swinging pocket watches. I've even been asked if I can read minds!

The Origins of Hypnosis and Where These Myths Come From

Hypnosis has a long history as a healing method, originally used for pain management and psychological wellness. Its roots can be traced back to ancient civilizations. However, over time, media has dramatically portrayed hypnosis as a tool of manipulation and control. This has often overshadowed the true therapeutic benefits of hypnotherapy.

From early films to cartoons, hypnosis has been depicted as a form of mind control, reinforcing the idea of a loss of control for those under its influence. Visual metaphors like the classic swinging pocket watch or the iconic hypnotic swirl have become symbolic of these misconceptions.

The Scientific Reality of Hypnotherapy

Contrary to popular belief, hypnotherapy is a calm, relaxing process that requires full cooperation between the client and therapist. The client remains completely aware and in control throughout the session.

Scientifically, hypnosis induces a "trance-like" state—a heightened focus and deep relaxation—where the mind becomes more receptive to therapeutic suggestions. This state allows new ideas and beliefs to be absorbed at a subconscious level, bypassing the critical, conscious mind, which often resists change.

The Benefits of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be a highly effective way to address a range of issues, including:

Anxiety and Stress Management
Overcoming Phobias
Breaking Bad Habits
Pain Management
Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem

Despite the myths surrounding it, hypnosis is a powerful tool for personal transformation, allowing individuals to access their subconscious minds and create lasting change.

The Power of the Mind, Not Magic

While it’s fun to play along with the notion that I possess mystical powers, the truth is far less dramatic—but equally fascinating. The human mind is incredibly powerful, and hypnosis is simply a way to unlock its potential for positive change and healing.

How RTT can enable you to excel in Sport

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 13:52:43 GMT

The Powerful Impact of Rapid Transformational Therapy on Sports Performance

In the competitive arena of sports, athletes are always on the lookout for innovative methods to boost their performance, gain a competitive edge, and achieve their personal best. One emerging technique that is gaining momentum for its profound impact on sports performance is Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). Developed by Marisa Peer, RTT is a revolutionary approach that combines the most effective elements of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). By targeting the subconscious mind and reprogramming deep-seated beliefs, RTT offers athletes a unique and powerful way to overcome mental barriers and maximize their potential.

The Mind-Body Connection in Sports Performance

The connection between the mind and body is crucial in sports. Mental factors such as confidence, focus, and motivation are as important as physical training and skill development. However, many athletes struggle with issues like performance anxiety, self-doubt, and negative self-talk, which can significantly impair their performance. Traditional sports psychology often addresses these issues at a conscious level, but RTT delves deeper by working directly with the subconscious mind, where these limiting beliefs and emotions are deeply ingrained.

How Rapid Transformational Therapy Enhances Sports Performance

RTT works by identifying and addressing the root causes of an athlete’s mental blocks. During an RTT session, the therapist guides the athlete into a relaxed state of hypnosis, enabling access to the subconscious mind. In this state, the athlete can uncover the underlying causes of their mental challenges, which often stem from past experiences, traumas, or learned behaviors. Once these causes are identified, the therapist uses a combination of therapeutic techniques to reframe negative beliefs and instill new, empowering ones.

For instance, an athlete suffering from performance anxiety might discover through RTT that their fear of failure originates from a childhood experience of being harshly criticized. By addressing and reframing this experience, RTT helps the athlete replace fear with a sense of confidence and self-assurance. This mental shift can lead to significant improvements in performance, as the athlete is no longer burdened by anxiety and can perform at their best.

Key Benefits of RTT for Athletes

Boosted Confidence: RTT helps athletes develop a strong sense of self-belief, which is crucial for peak performance. By eliminating self-doubt and negative self-talk, athletes can approach their sport with greater confidence and resilience.
Enhanced Focus: Maintaining mental clarity and focus is vital in sports, where quick decisions often determine the outcome of a game or competition. RTT aids athletes in eliminating distractions, allowing them to maintain a laser-sharp focus on their goals.
Injury Recovery: Physical injuries often come with psychological challenges, such as fear of re-injury. RTT helps athletes overcome these mental barriers, facilitating faster recovery and a return to peak performance.
Stress and Anxiety Management: High-pressure situations are common in sports, and the ability to manage stress is critical. RTT equips athletes with the mental tools to remain calm and composed under pressure, improving their performance in critical moments.
Sustained Success: The benefits of RTT extend beyond short-term gains. By reprogramming deep-seated beliefs, athletes can achieve long-term success and continuous improvement throughout their careers.

Why Athletes Should Consider Rapid Transformational Therapy

Rapid Transformational Therapy offers a powerful, holistic approach to enhancing sports performance. By addressing the subconscious mind and reprogramming limiting beliefs, RTT helps athletes unlock their full potential, leading to improved confidence, focus, and resilience. As awareness of the importance of mental conditioning grows, RTT is likely to become an increasingly popular tool among athletes and coaches striving for excellence.

Why Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is Leading the Way in Mental Health

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 08:23:39 GMT

The Future of Therapy

Have you ever had therapy? Did you achieve the results you wanted?

I have undergone various modalities of therapy and all of them were useful, but only up to a point. As a voracious reader of self-help books I have always been interested in why we think and act as we do. How is that person so much more confident than me? How can they not be upset by that event? What makes that person attractive to another ?

We never get therapy as maintenance service to iron out the difficulties, to understand these ideas, it’s a solution we seek once our life train has been derailed….

Mental health has declined massively in recent years and more of us are seeking help and RTT stands out as a pioneering approach in addressing these needs. Developed by renowned therapist Marisa Peer, RTT is being hailed as the future of therapy due to its unique combination of techniques, its efficiency, and its holistic approach to mental health.

What is Rapid Transformational Therapy?

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is a hybrid therapy that integrates principles from hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

It focuses on uncovering the root causes of a client’s issues in the subconscious mind, where limiting beliefs and negative patterns are often deeply ingrained. Once these issues are identified, RTT uses a range of tools to reframe and transform these beliefs, enabling clients to break free from their past and create lasting positive change.

Due to way this therapy works at a deep level - eliminating the root cause, RTT therapists can work quickly and effectively with clients, often achieving significant results in just one to three sessions enabling clients to break free from their past and create lasting positive change.

The Efficiency of RTT

Traditional therapy methods, such as talk therapy, can require months or even years of sessions to achieve substantial progress. While these methods can be effective, they often demand a significant investment of time and resources. RTT, on the other hand, is designed to deliver results quickly. By accessing the subconscious mind directly, RTT therapists can uncover the root causes of a client’s issues in a fraction of the time it would take through conventional methods. This makes RTT particularly appealing to those who are seeking fast, effective solutions to their mental health challenges.

Holistic Approach to Healing

RTT is not just about symptom relief; it’s about holistic healing. Unlike many therapeutic approaches that focus primarily on managing symptoms, RTT aims to address the underlying causes of emotional and psychological distress. This means that clients often experience profound, life-changing results that go beyond simply feeling better in the short term. By transforming the beliefs and patterns that drive negative behaviour, RTT enables clients to make lasting changes in their lives, improving their overall well-being.

Versatility and Adaptability

Another reason why RTT is being hailed as the future of therapy is its versatility. RTT can be applied to a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to phobias, addiction, and even physical health conditions. Its adaptable nature means that it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each client, making it a highly personalized form of therapy. Furthermore, RTT can be used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities, enhancing its effectiveness and broadening its appeal.

The Science Behind RTT

RTT’s effectiveness is supported by an understanding of how the brain works. By engaging the subconscious mind, RTT taps into the most powerful part of our psyche, where our deepest beliefs and habits are stored. Neuroscientific research has shown that the subconscious mind plays a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. By working directly with this part of the mind, RTT can create rapid and lasting change, making it a powerful tool in the realm of mental health.

Conclusion

As mental health continues to take centre stage in our global conversations, therapies like RTT are leading the charge in providing innovative, effective solutions. With its rapid results, holistic approach, and versatility, Rapid Transformational Therapy is not just a trend; it is the future of therapy. By addressing the root causes of mental health issues and empowering individuals to make lasting changes, RTT is transforming lives and paving the way for a new era in mental health care.
