My service is present and future focussed and achieves this by overcoming any past issues using cognitive, behavioural, interpersonal and neural techniques. The emotional distress from traumas and phobias will be removed and we will work together on replacing these negative issues in your life with a positive focus and creative use of your natural resources. The brain puts an emotional tag onto things that happen to us, this can be positive or negative. For example if you think of a situation when you were extremely happy and allow yourself to wallow in that moment, chances are that you will smile and these thoughts will induce a positive feeling in you. This is something worth hanging onto. However if you think back to an unhappy or frightening experience, this is also likely to change your state, this time to a more negative state and it might be more beneficial to eradicate this feeling. The emotional tag can be removed by moving this memory from one part of the brain, the amygdala, to another more logical part of the brain, the frontal cortex. This process helps you to leave the pain of the past behind you and to move on with your life. This process is recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE guidelines) for dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Together we look at what changes you want or need and examine your lifestyle and any patterns you may have that could be contributing to your problems or dilemma. We look at trigger situations for issues and the way your thoughts, emotions and behaviours are interlinked and together we set new patterns into your neural pathways to effect positive change. Psychological difficulties and indecision about direction in life depends on each person's 'story' of their life, what has happened to you and your perception or view of these events.
