Information Overload – Creating More Inner Space To Avoid Overwhelm

How TRE® Cured My Back Pain
I suffered from lower back pain and sciatica for over 20 years. The doctors said there was nothing they could do, they told me to take painkillers, go home and try to stay active. But it didn't help and it wasn't possible to remain active - the pain was simply too...
Our Purpose Is To Heal
I’ve stopped seeing the world as an angry, destructive, hopeless place. I have finally realised that all the anger, destruction and apathy we see around us is a result of pain. Our individual suffering is part of a collective trauma - one that has been snowballing for...

The Benefits of Journaling
I sit with my beautiful new journal in front of me on my clear desk. Having chosen the colour carefully to reflect my mood for the year ahead, I feel cheerful and optimistic. I gently open it and flip through a few pages, I feel a magical sensation, as though a fairy...
Dealing With Tension & Trauma – Discovering TRE
The trauma you never notice. For my entire life, anytime I heard the word “trauma” I understood it to mean only significant and devastating life events related to war, terrorism, natural disasters, physical abuse or things like that. Things that tend to make it into...
