Is this your stairway to freedom?

This time last year I was fresh out of detox still struggling to walk to the corner shop on my own, still violently shaking and still struggling to even open a bottle of juice. 

Fast forward to today (30^th October 2020) and I am off to climb Pen-Y-Ghent.

Is there hope when working against the perceived odds?

It was my mum that brought this to my attention, what a difference a year can make (and hard graft). Me and "big Jonathan" (that's what my son named him. There is logic behind this title - his Uncle is called Jonny, too) are off up a mountain. This made me realise that I need to reflect and be proud of how far I've come. To learn from my mistakes and that it is dangerous to be complacent.

Was I ready to progress my journey of recovery to a whole new level?

There is reasoning behind Jonathan and myself going up this big old hill. It is to "take my recovery to a new level". A level that I have previously not been ready for or strong enough (mentally or physically) for. Dreading is the wrong word, but I was quite apprehensive, and my anxiety was itching to tag along. What will we dig up/talk about?

In the car on the way there, even when my mind tried to prevent him, Jonathan (as always) got into my mind without me fearing his questions and asked "What was your earliest memory of binge/purging/bulimia". My reply...."I remember the exact moment I first did it. I even remember what I was wearing.  Now I'm thinking about it; I can feel the same feeling and I have the same thoughts as I did back then". It was weird and I'd never actually spoken about it before.

Understanding my history.

Here's the scene …

I had started my healthy eating regime and I had gone to my friend’s house before the stables. Her mum made the most amazing cakes. We all had some, then we all had some more. Not only did I feel sick, but I felt so guilty for ruining my new regime, the guilt wouldn't leave my thoughts. We arrived at the stables and I made myself sick into a bucket (I have never admitted this). I was about 13 years old and my young naive mind thought I had discovered something magical ... I could still eat cake and not worry about putting on weight. Or as I was told as a child at parties "don't eat anymore, Jen, you'll end up like a certain celebrity" (I’ve excluded the name out of respect to the celebrity), I could still eat cake and release that horrible full/guilty feeling. 

My mum did suss out something one day, although I don't think she realised the severity of my new issue, she took me to the doctor who clearly didn't know what to do and I was given a book about counting calories. Useful!!!

Sorry ... I’ve gone off the subject but just wanted to provide some background. Jonathan then asked, "how did you know how to do it"? I wasn't too sure at first, but I do remember someone doing it at school, after eating just an apple. I thought it was a bit odd, and just assumed it was attention she was after. Jonathan asked if it may have been attention I was wanting. For me, it was the opposite, my little secret. I didn't want anyone to know because if anyone found out, I’d be made to stop and I’d lose my release.

Preparing for the potential storm ahead.

We parked up in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. The weather wasn't too cracking, it was quite damp with low clouds, but apparently it was ideal weather for what we were doing today. "But I can't see how savage the hill is or what’s behind those clouds" I moaned. But Jonathan (like he always does) put a positive spin on the situation. "How do you know it's going to be savage, it might be easy, beyond the clouds could be something amazing". When faced with the unknown why do I always assume the unknown to be a negative experience? Can anyone relate?

Up ahead was a long winding path ascending into low clouds, with gates at various intervals. This was going to be my journey and along the way we were going to deal with the "doors" to my past; some horrendous experiences, and finally close them. Whilst they are still open they are contributing to my negative coping behaviour, as I used them back then to cope at the time.

How I learned to energise both my mind and body.

This was the start of a significant journey, looking up at the cloudy path ahead I had to walk tall, confident, looking ahead, noticing what was ahead, as though I was heading for a battle. Paying attention to my breath was important, too, not only as I was struggling with my asthma (nothing to do with the fact I’ve still not quit smoking) but to "breath in the energy around me". Jonathan explains that there is energy all around us and to concentrate on the negative feelings and where they are and to exhale them, and to fill yourself with the positive energy, strength, through your breathing. Jonathan will be able to explain this much better than I can.  You may have heard before that if you omit positive vibes you attract positive energy back, two-fold. It's worth trying, however be careful of "mood hoovers"(people who are attracted by your positive nature but subconsciously hoover it out of you and bring you down, especially as they deplete your energy).

Breaking things down into manageable amounts

Approaching the first gate I had to think of the things from the past that could still be influencing me today. There were a few situations that I thought I’d buried, but in honesty I have never dealt with or spoken about them. I was about to face the battle and when I touched the gate to go through, my battle commenced. I had a song in my head ‘It's time by Imagine Dragons’, very apt for the moment. When I touched the gate it was time to start my journey, I had to think and deal with the first issue from the past up until we get to a pile of stones ahead, the "check point". It was at the check point where I would leave this issue for good and "close the door on it". Deep breathing to release it. This continued as we ascended the hill until I actually had to stop as my backside was hurting. I thought I was quite fit; I run, do weights, I felt a bit deflated. 

So, we stopped, paused, took some deep breaths and as I exhaled the pain went away. Jonathan brought it to my attention that this pausing can be used in everyday life when you are having a difficult moment/situation or life is busy or your head is sad/hurting ... pause, give yourself time to assess the situation, try to gain some logic in the moment. That is all it is, a moment, I (and you) have the ability to influence a change in our thinking, sometimes I just need reminding as it's all too easy to go into autopilot mode.

We kept climbing and at various stages closed a few more doors. Then we reached a flight of steps (not sure if "a flight of steps" is the correct terminology halfway up a mountain, let’s just go with it). "Have you ever heard of the phrase, stairway to heaven" Jonathan asked. "Well this is your stairway to freedom, free of your past. A new start, a new chapter".

Maintaining a natural sense of excitement

I can honestly say that I was excited to climb these steps. May I add there were more steps than at Whitby Abbey, I’m sure. The feeling in my stomach was no longer heavy, I felt light and genuinely felt like I was leaving the past behind. I worked out I’d been carrying around those horrendous experiences from the past for over 15 years. After a couple of pauses whilst climbing the stairs, (I had done circuit training the night before and my legs were reminding me of this) we reached the top. Couldn't see anything but I felt like I had won the battle. The descent was going to be "all downhill from now" (pun intended).

Is life like climbing a mountain?

On the way down, I reflected on what I had achieved today. Life is like climbing a mountain, it's a journey of ups and downs (and savage steps).The ascend to the top is often a struggle, a battle, the hard work. But once you get to the top there's the vista, you have achieved something worthwhile. You've made it, won the battle then you can enjoy the downhill bit. 

Living proof you can go onto to experience an amazing life

When life gets hard it is definitely worth the battle. I am living proof of this. I can't even begin to explain how hard my recovery has been and if I’m honest, I’m surprised I had it in me. To get through and survive what I have. I have been so lucky to have the support of my parents and Jonathan along the way. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here now. Sober and enjoying life more than I ever have.

Wishing you all an amazing journey

Have we reached a stage where the majority of mindset techniques being applied are mainly about coping?

My fear is yes, this is the case. 

Learning to cope without addressing underlying issues

I like to observe how people are influenced by certain mindset approaches. To my horror, for most of 2020, especially given the psychological impacts COVID19 has had on many people, I feel there has been too much reliance on coping strategies. Merely learning to cope, and not addressing underlying issues, can have long term implications and consequences to the individual.

Is it enough to encourage a person to just focus on breathing techniques?

In essence, encouraging people to just cope as they go through this challenging period in many people’s lives is not acceptable as a whole.

For example, to get through a challenging outlook, is it enough to encourage a person to just focus on breathing techniques? Or should we be actually examining the individual’s thoughts, actions and feelings that lead to their own perception of why they are suffering psychologically? Whether it be anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression or more.

OK, you could say, well hang on a minute, Jonathan, why aren’t you doing something about it? 

Well, I am with my private clients.

This is why I have created what I feel is a very effective technique that not only empowers individuals to maintain a safe mind. They will come to understand which doors open to habits, feelings, automatic conditioned responses, perceptions, attitude to risk and much more. Automatically guiding an individual on how to think, feel and act in any given situation.

You see, teaching someone a coping strategy is OK for bringing initial stability and calmness. But what happens when the effects wear off and the mind gets used to each technique? It’s like a virus learning to adapt to the host and learns to avoid the defence mechanisms within! So over time, the virus knows to how bypass the defence mechanism because it has learnt.

Another way of explaining, is how frequent and inappropriate use of antibiotics can cause bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of antibiotic treatment. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance.

Just like a coping strategy ‘copes’ with overwhelm for some; the mind will overcome this, and the effects of coping strategies just simply wear off. Ultimately leaving an individual feeling very low, despondent, and often much worse.

So how do we move away from coping strategies and techniques?

Well, we first look at bringing stability to the foundations in your mind. This is not an overnight experience for many people. However, I have had moments with clients where we have had overnight success! 

You have to understand that each person’s mind is different from the next. Their experiences are collated and intertwined and interconnected differently to the next person. It’s not just a case of one size fits all. Each person may require a different approach, so forgive me for not listing all the techniques applied. I wish to provide an overview at this stage.

Is it important to learn how you've become programmed?

Once we have stablised your mind, we then look at how you have become programmed/influenced over the years. Special care is required when helping some people during this technique! As with Pandora’s box, if you open the Pandora’s box of the mind, without preparing the mind, it can have dangerous ramifications/consequences. So special care is needed in some circumstances.

We then need to spend time analysing and understanding how each door to a memory (where appropriate at each stage of the process) can be intertwined/linked to any aspects of your mind, body and spirit. Sometimes, we don’t open certain doors until the client is ready. In other circumstances, the mind won’t allow the client to recognize a memory until certain aspects of the mind has been resolved and put to rest as they say.

Once we understand the network of intertwined thoughts, actions and feelings, we then begin the process of understanding how to close each door. 

However, it is important to understand as each door closes, another door opens. The old saying “as each door closes, a new door opens” But what new door are we opening? This brings more varied techniques into the equation!

So, we have to plan; visualise, have a strategy and much more when we go through this process. In essence, we empower your mind with a sense of purpose, clarity and ability to be adaptable with the unknown.

Are you aware of how your thoughts, actions and feelings are intertwined?

Once a client has progressed through the “Spiders Web” of intertwined thoughts, actions and feelings, we then move onto working in the outside world (take a look at this personal account in Jenny’s Journey Part 9.

Where appropriate when I work with clients outside, it is not uncommon for other forgotten thoughts, actions and feelings to arise, and it’s not uncommon to work with emotional release. Identifying and the release of limiting beliefs and much more; including empowerment from within, the countryside is a great environment in which to work with clients.

Why understanding the medical history of a client is so important.

When working with clients who have a history with medical intervention, whether pharmaceutical or herbal, we learn how the mind, body and spirit have become dependent on this type of supplementary support.

For some, the epicenter of their mind becomes reliant on the supplements/medication. We have to create a plan and exercise the mind, body and spirit to be empowered to have an exit plan away from the supplements/medication. 

Whilst a client undergoes the exit strategy away from medication and herbal pick-me-ups, we work closely with the client’s GP. Train the mind, body and spirit on how to reignite its true capabilities and natural ability to generate and circulate examples such as dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins and much more. All of which influence an individuals’ ability to develop a healthy mind, body and spirit. 

We also must consider the impacts of a client’s diet. This may mean referring a client to a nutritional specialist if appropriate.

Are you committed to the long haul?

For me, if a client is willing to commit to the long haul, then whether it’s 1, 2, 5, 10 sessions or more, or even intensive half or full day sessions, completing the appropriate homework/practices is essential (and much more with me), one thing is for sure, successful outcomes will materialise.

It is just whether you are willing to commit.

Wishing everyone safety and wellness through the 2nd lockdown phase.

How to handle tough situations, sober

Today is my sober-anniversary! Unreal. Writing this today is a "sobering" (no pun intended. I did actually mean to do that!!) reflection of what I have been through. It's a reminder that I do not want to go back there.

Practising gratitude

When you feel so good, it's easy to become complacent, but that can be dangerous in recovery. I appreciate everything and everyone who has helped me and supported me to get to where I am today.

I really am amazed I survived. I say thank you every day.

Exactly this time last year I was in detox, the first day without a drink, with a massive head injury due to a seizure. I hadn't a clue what was going on, and I hadn't even started full withdrawal. It was so scary.

This is also a reminder that recovery takes time. I've been sober a year, and 5 days ago I was really in need of a drink. Thankfully, I'm still taking Antabuse, which I chose to go on.

Recovery is tough but totally possible and worth it.

I would like to think I'm strong enough now to have not picked up a drink if I wasn't taking them, but I don't really want to think about what could have happened. That is even after a year, which proves recovery is long and challenging, but totally possible and worth it, stick with it

So, what put me in the position of needing a drink, I hear you ask!?
The lovely game known as online dating. I never realised there were so many liars out there. Long story short, everything was going really well with a guy, and we had started "seeing" each other, so almost official. It was a bonus he was also nice to look at.

Then his ex rocked up one day and was not very happy, shall we say. He had warned me she didn't like seeing him happy and because she had Bi-Polar, her moods were quite unpredictable (please don't think I'm saying anything negative towards her and her issues, I don't judge anyone).

Here I was faced with a rather heated discussion. However, I used to be a custody officer, so my interpersonal skills came in handy to diffuse the situation. I've experienced a lot worse!

He apologised profusely, but then I heard nothing from him. I'm quite proud of myself for not taking it personally, but I was genuinely sad about it. Quite gutted in fact as it was going so well.

That would have been a perfect excuse to drink to numb those feelings. Even when my drinking was normal, that's how I would have dealt with it, as would the majority of people. So, with no instant relief/escape from the feelings and emotions, I had to "ride it out". I kept telling myself they are just emotions, and they will pass.

I acknowledged and processed the emotions, and sent them on their merry little way. I even asked my friend "what do 'normal' people do when they experience this feeling"… her answer "we drink"!! (how we chuckled).

Coping with situations without my alcohol crutch

So, what am I really supposed to do! I was hoping that I would wake up feeling different the next day. This didn't really make me feel any better at the time. Still, this is a life experience, and it's utterly alien to me, coping with situations without my alcohol crutch.

I tried to distract myself, which I know isn't ideal as I know it won't go away until I faced up to it and dealt with it, but I knew I'd be talking with Walking With My Bear in 3 days. Jonathan would make everything better. He always said if I need to speak; just call.

I decided to call Jonathan, and he did make me feel better. I was reminded that I am bravely exposing myself to new experiences that have the potential to weaken my inner strength. And that unconsciously the lead up to my "sober-anniversary" would be playing on my mind too.

Distraction techniques and unhelpful coping strategies - what's the alternative?

Distraction techniques may seem to work on impulse, but you need to be aware you will have to face the situation and accept it at some point.

Otherwise, you may refer back to your old unhelpful coping strategies, i.e. potential relapse as the situation will still be there.

It's about learning to close those doors to your old ways of thoughts, actions and feelings. Walking With My Bear opened my eyes and mind to make me realise I defeated a relapse. I am therefore fully capable of defeating potential relapses.

I suppose this was quite an achievement, and I should be proud of myself. I, therefore, need to work at reflecting on the progress I have made as it is so easy to let your achievements go unrecognised and take them for granted. The lack of self-praise can be quite dangerous in recovery. So please keep that in mind.

After speaking with Jonathan after the incident and reflecting back on the session, I realised there were still some issues from my past that were subconsciously bothering me. Therefore, holding me back from letting go of my unhealthy coping strategies, that don't serve me anymore.

We used the Spider Web theory, and this time I understood it a lot more. I was amazed at how even a small situation in your life can open or be linked to so many other experiences or programmed behavioural patterns later down the line.

However, the main things I opened up about were sadly not small issues, and I never speak about them. The two "doorways" that opened up were linked to past relationships and had maybe been affecting more recent ones. I decided I need to do some homework and investigate if there are any other previous issues I finally need to address.

I advise that before dealing with bigger issues tackle the smaller ones first. It will enable you to face the heavier challenges more effectively, as you will have gained confidence and strength regarding challenging your past.

There is hope out there. Reach out, it's not something you'll regret.

Your mind can interpret things around you when going through the paces during long-distance events!

I've often wondered whether people really hallucinate with sleep deprivation and long periods of exercise. This is something often spoken about in ultra-distance events.

I even once thought I was hallucinating myself during a long-distance event!

That said, I question the research around it and whether there is just a more straightforward explanation.

Whilst I'm not out to attack those that talk about hallucinating, I want to show an example of how our minds (and technology) can see things that aren't really there. 

Seeing things in Derbyshire

A few weeks ago, for those that have been following my training, I was pulling my tyre late into the evening whilst covering 40 miles in one day. I'd also only had just 4 hours sleep the night before (it was the 3 day period I covered 96 miles pulling the tyre).

It was about 9pm at night. I have my head torch guiding me along the Derbyshire Peak District, and there is nothing around except the peace and quiet of the countryside. No sound of traffic or people.

As I continue walking, I see an image ahead and have to think twice. It looks like a person crouching in the distance. 

I pause, focus, and it still looks like a person crouching. I grab my phone and take a picture! I know it can't be right. Logically why would someone be crouching there. 

I approach with caution, given it's the middle of nowhere, and I'm on my own. Even though I'm martial arts trained and not averse to self-defence, I still take caution yet I'm curious. 

As I approach, sure enough, my instincts are correct…

It was a small bush.

What my Bear interprets

Whilst I could have blamed my tiredness on the first impression. The theory of hallucinating goes out the window, as the camera must have been hallucinating as well lol! In my opinion. 

So, the message I want to put across with this article is quite simply this: –

My Bear thinks and interprets the visual reality in front and around me because I've trained it to do so. My Bear has a process to filter what I'm seeing and question at all times what my true reality is.

Your Bear is your friend, but he can also overreact at times and be your worse enemy.

It's essential to understand how he thinks, feels and acts at all times. This way, you can learn to rationalise and deal with any perception that may not serve you in your best interests.

This can be relatable to possible anxiety, stress, depression and much more. When in fact, the reality of the world around you may actually be a nice place, but your Bear just needs a little helping hand to understand a bit clearer.

Inner Child Therapy, an inside look

For many adults, their childhood experiences can influence their actions, feelings and behaviours in later life, for some, with challenging habitual ways of being.

After Thomas worked with Walking With My Bear, he wanted to share his experience to provide hope to others out there.

Below is Thomas' story about working with his inner self.

Meeting the little me's

I have known Jonathan for a few years, we met via a networking event. I had just got my life back on track after many years in addiction. Since then, I have retrained to be a therapist, and Jonathan and I first worked on my life strategy planning.

It was enlightening to sit down and think about my future and what it would look like. Then working backwards to what I need to be earning and how to structure my finances to achieve that vision. 

Yes; the number got big, but at the same time, I could see how I was to achieve them. 

That was the first part of the journey, and still today the things I learnt from Jonathan I always practice. His voice pops into my head when I am working on the business side of things, to guide me.

Limiting beliefs were holding me back

The next part of the journey was to do some work on me. By the time I had met Jonathan, I was well into my recovery. However, there were so many limiting beliefs, I was holding myself back.

I felt comfortable with Jonathan, and he understood where I had come from, and more importantly, where I wanted to go. Through working on the financial strategy aspect, we discussed many different things, which later Jonathan brought into the therapy room.

Over 4 or 5 sessions, I was introduced to some little me's, the younger versions of me that in different ways needed some nurturing or just to be heard. Through the sessions, I met 3 younger versions of me. 

Inner Child Therapy

In therapy, we call this Inner Child Work. I had facilitated this with many clients of my own, however, to be the client was a truly amazing experience. 

Jonathan guided me through the process and allowed me to reconnect with myself. I was given the opportunity to bring those little me's into the now, by placing them in the palm of my hand and then bringing them up to my chest. At individual times they climbed into my heart, where they have stayed, and I can connect with them whenever I want or need to.

I distinctly remember that one of the younger me's wanted to learn how to play the piano, after the session, I contacted a local piano teacher, and booked in for my first lesson. I felt like a little kid, and it was wonderful.

Visualisation - the shallow bowl technique

There was another session where I sat with a large shallow bowl out in front of me and was able to visualise different things in the surface of the bowl. Or as 3d objects above it.

This is what my mind created, Jonathan provided the space and time for me to work on the things that needed some work, in my own way.

I was diagnosed with HIV back in 2006. As much as I had consciously come to terms with it, subconsciously I was still clearly holding on to it. One of the 3d objects I visualised was the virus. 

To sit and look at the virus and truly come to terms with it, was awe-inspiring. I can remember seeing my hands smoothing the edges of the virus. It is tough to explain and describe, but it really felt like it had taken the hardness off my feelings and perception.

I can't thank Jonathan enough for the ways he has helped me. Not only with the strategy side of my life, but also helping me to meet the younger me's, and letting them support and guide me through life.

Thomas

I hope you can see from Thomas' journey, by reconnecting with his inner self, this has brought a state of calmness back into his life.

For Thomas, the 3 younger versions of himself were all different aspects of his Bear. Once he had found reconnection within himself, his Bear became his friend.

If you wish to discuss whether inner child work and mindset therapy could help you too

A client's expectation and ownership of mindset outcomes often result that the mindset specialist is responsible for understanding and guiding the client to the desired outcome. Ultimate responsibility being put on the mindset specialist.

Yes, this is partly correct but is it also about the client understanding how their neural pathways to thoughts, feelings and actions are activated through past experiences.

In the book How To Build On Tectonic Plates, I refer to the process of how the 6 senses of see, feel, hear, taste, smell and thoughts impact our mindset. Call it the 'artificial intelligence (AI) of our mind'.

The challenge a client has when wanting to understand how to bring about change is to know how each past experience can be intertwined into every thought, feeling and action in their life.

To my horror, it is not uncommon for mindset techniques to be applied to just one specific element without actually dealing with the whole.

It is important to identify and address all the underlying causes that trigger your thoughts, feelings and actions

Many years ago, I worked with a young lady who was suffering from anxiety which caused ulcers in her mouth. We worked on what we identified as the key cause of this stress, and when the unpleasant experiences first occurred.

What I wasn't aware of was that my client was wearing a certain type of item on her body, which many years later she was still using, albeit refreshed versions. It was something I could not, nor anyone else physically see.

I never thought of asking or exploring the physical elements attached to the thoughts, feelings and actions of my client as I was focused on the memories.

Yes, we had a short-term result, but after a while, the symptoms came back, and the client lost faith in my work.

This naturally challenged me as I began to pull apart my techniques and approaches. Questioning how I could have missed this item, indeed, I should have known to ask or at least consider the possibility of a physical object associated with an experience.

In fairness, I was being hard on myself. There is more to the background of this client's story, but for confidentiality reasons, I cannot say anymore. That said, it made me realise and adapt one of my techniques to help uncover all aspects of a past experience, both mentally and physically.

What difference can a change to your mindset have on your life?

I recently supported a different client applying what I call the 'Spiders Web' technique. It would be honest and fair of me to say my client had a profound result. A result that empowered my client to take her mindset to another level.

She sent me a note which I wanted to share in this article. Not to brag, but to give you hope if you have tried techniques to resolve and bring change to your mindset, or you are looking to make a change. Maybe where you have had a short-term result, but over time your old ways of thoughts, actions and feelings have crept back and taken over your Bear!

The email is as my client wrote it: –

"Thank you so much for my session last week. Using the spider wheel technique was a great way to prepare the ground for our hypnotherapy session. It allowed me to see clearly how seemingly unrelated incidents in my life were blocking me from moving forwards in my work and private life. Using the metaphor of red and green doors was incredibly powerful for resolving the emotional issues experienced in my earlier life. By closing the red doors as the emotional resolved, naturally the green doors to progress opened. I could feel my heart opening to a new reality with each step I took through the web of my life, reconnecting me back to my essence. I had set a powerful intention that I wanted to fully resolve the issues that were blocking me from moving forwards before the session. After the session, I felt energised and uplifted in a way I haven't experienced in some time. I felt free. I completely forgot about the work issues over the weekend. Since coming back to work today, the situation that had been blocked has completely opened up, effortlessly and resolved. Heartfelt gratitude to you, Jonathan, for the guidance that enabled me to achieve my dreams.

Many many thanks
Alison "

To receive such a lovely note is so rewarding, knowing I have supported a client to become empowered, and never take it for granted when working with clients that ……

Final thoughts

I want to share the message that you can truly understand how your Bear is connected to the aspects of your past.

If you are willing to spend time understanding the background to the doors that open up the spider's web of your "AI". Then your Bear can understand how to open and close doors to old and new ways of thinking, feeling and acting, as you enjoy your life.

This is the foundation for working on your mindset.

Are you ready to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions and seek to change them so you can fully embrace a new life? Reach out and let's start the journey together – Me, You and your Bear.
