For years, I told myself the same thing you probably tell yourself every single day:
💬 “If I could just try harder, I’d get my life together.”
💬 “If I had more discipline, I wouldn’t keep falling behind.”
💬 “If I wasn’t so sensitive, I wouldn’t be this exhausted all the time.”
I thought I was the problem.
So I tried everything. Productivity hacks, therapy, medication, mindfulness, self-help books, anything that promised to “fix” my ADHD, RSD, anxiety, and burnout.
And for a while, I convinced myself that more effort was the answer.
If I just built the right routine…
If I just found the perfect planner…
If I just learned to “control” my emotions…
But no matter how hard I tried, I kept failing.
I still froze when I needed to start something important.
I still spiraled when rejection hit, even if it was imaginary.
I still burned out, no matter how much I pushed myself.
And every time it happened, I felt more broken.
But then, something clicked.
The Moment I Realised I Was Wrong
One day, after yet another emotional crash, I sat there thinking:
“If trying harder was the answer… wouldn’t it have worked by now?”
Because the truth was, I had been trying. Harder than most people could even imagine.
I wasn’t failing because I was lazy.
I wasn’t struggling because I wasn’t disciplined enough.
I wasn’t falling apart because I wasn’t “mentally strong.”
🔥 I was failing because I was fighting my own brain instead of working with it.
I had spent years forcing myself into systems that were never designed for me.
💡 I realised ADHD, RSD, anxiety, and PTSD aren’t motivation problems, they’re brain response problems.
💡 I realised I didn’t need to try harder, I needed to break the cycle at the source.
💡 I realised that traditional therapy, CBT, and mindset shifts only worked at the surface level, and that wasn’t enough.
So I stopped looking for ways to force myself to “be better.”
And I started looking for ways to change the automatic reactions that were keeping me stuck.
What I Learned, and What Actually Works
Here’s the truth: Your brain isn’t broken. It’s just stuck in a loop, a loop that no amount of willpower can break.
🚨 This is why you overthink, shut down, or self-sabotage, even when you know better.
🚨 This is why you keep burning out, no matter how many breaks you take.
🚨 This is why rejection, criticism, and stress hit you harder than they should.
Your brain isn’t resisting because you’re weak. It’s resisting because it’s protecting you.
🔥 The real problem? That protection is outdated. And it’s keeping you trapped.
So the solution isn’t more effort.
It’s not another planner, another app, another therapy session that just talks about the problem.
The solution is changing how your brain reacts in the first place.
And that’s where hypnotherapy comes in.
Why This Works When Nothing Else Does
Unlike traditional therapy, which works on the surface, hypnotherapy goes deeper.
✅ It helps your brain stop treating stress, rejection, and tasks as threats.
✅ It changes how you react, so spirals, shutdowns, and burnout stop happening automatically.
✅ It shifts your nervous system out of survival mode, so you can actually move forward instead of staying stuck.
This isn’t about “trying harder.”
🔥 It’s about making the struggle disappear, so you don’t have to fight yourself anymore.
And that? That’s what actually works.
If You’re Ready to Stop the Cycle, The Time Is Now
I wasted years trying to force myself to be “better.” You don’t have to.
🚀 Get in touch to book a session and experience what it’s like to actually feel calm, focused, and in control.
Because the sooner you stop fighting yourself, the sooner you start living.
And that? Changes everything. 🔥
