The approach in practice
- Step 1
Start with regulation (Ockbrook)
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day. Nothing here assumes a Erewash client has spare evenings.
- Step 2
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded. Travel from Ockbrook is 5 miles, so this stage is often done online.
- Step 3
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath. Nothing here assumes a Erewash client has spare evenings.
