About The Mind-Body Bridge Therapy
At The Mind-Body Bridge, I offer health and wellness coaching using The MindBody Reconnect (MBR) programme, developed by Clare Caldwell and inspired by world leading experts such as Dr. Gabor Maté and others.
The MBR programme provides fascinating insights into how our emotional and physical wellbeing are deeply interconnected. At its core, it recognises three distinct levels of knowledge within us as described by Dr. Gabor Maté – the Brain (Mind), Heart, and Gut (Body).
These three centres are constantly sending us messages through emotions and physical sensations, calling us to take appropriate action in any given moment. While we can’t prevent these messages from arising, we often choose to ignore, dismiss, or alter them. When we consistently disregard these signals, they don’t simply disappear. Instead, they accumulate, forcing our body to “raise its voice” to get our attention.
When our body’s subtle emotional signals go unheeded for too long, it has no choice but to communicate through physical symptoms of illness, what Dr. Maté calls “the body saying NO.”
My coaching sessions provide knowledge, insight and practical tools to understand and respond to these signals in the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past. You’ll learn to interpret your body’s messages and respond appropriately, allowing your body to stop ‘shouting’ through symptoms of illness. This approach helps your body release old patterns whilst developing new strategies, leading to improved health and happiness through a balanced connection between your ‘thinking’ and ’emotional’ brain.
The Sessions
In your tailored sessions, we’ll explore key aspects of your mind-body connection, such as:
- Understanding the two types of emotions – what they mean and why we might dismiss them.
- Learning to set healthy boundaries that put your needs first, navigate everyday challenges and improve your relationship with yourself and others.
- Become proficient at listening to, understanding and acting on the emotional and physical symptoms your body is sending you each day, so your ’emotional pot’ stops overflowing!
- Discovering how to balance your ‘thinking’ brain with your ’emotional’ wisdom, avoiding the trap of overthinking, allowing your nervous system to regulate.
- Exploring what life balance and variety is required for true fulfilment, what that means for you personally, and how to achieve it authentically.
- Understanding ‘Perceptions’ and how our ‘thinking brain’ can misinterpret the present.
- Developing an awareness of the ‘Authenticity vs Attachment’ dynamic, the consequences of suppressing authenticity and how to rebalance these needs to thrive now.
We’ll work together to help you understand these concepts in ways that are meaningful and practical for your unique situation.
What You’ll Receive:
- Personalised one-on-one sessions tailored to your unique needs and goals.
- Practical tools, tips and techniques you can easily apply in your daily life.
- Simple yet effective handouts and progress-tracking materials to reveal patterns and support your journey.
- A short session summary with techniques or tools to practice before we next meet.
- A compassionate, safe space where you can share openly and explore freely.
- Ongoing support and guidance as you make meaningful changes.
In a short time your confidence will grow to create positive changes through small, manageable steps that lead to lasting results.
The Results
MBR is an ‘action therapy’ not just a ‘speaking therapy’. To get results, you need to be willing to work with the programme, but aside any preconceived ideas and be willing to trust and fully apply strategies that may be new for you. In a short time you’ll become your own coach, as the knowledge and strategies you have learned become part of your automatic response to a more fulfilling, meaningful, joyful and hopefully symptom free life!
MBR has had exceptional results with people that experience symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, IBS, ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Post Viral Fatigue, Long Covid and many other auto-immune, inflammatory and stress-related conditions.
Even if you’re simply feeling stuck, lost, frustrated, or looking to enhance your overall wellbeing, these valuable life skills can make a real difference. It is my belief that everybody could benefit from these incredible tools and insights.
