Dr Portia Reading

While acknowledging past pain is important to healing, too much of this can just strengthen the neural pathways to create more of the same, more stress, anxiety, anger or depression. But remembering your unique gifts while skilfully rehearsing new ways of being can enhance the development of your neurology to engage a more joyful and creative future.

Using the human givens model (http://www.humangivens.com.au & https://www.hgi.org.uk/) that feelings motivate us to take action to meet the various needs in our lives, you can begin to understand how to harness your emotions constructively to find greater fulfillment and peace.

New insights have revealed that during REM sleep, the brain lays down patterns that influence how we interact with our environment. By deeply relaxing, you can emulate the REM state, and with skilful guidance, generate new patterns that enhance your unique dance with life.

I work with you to:
• unfold core emotional issues that do need to be healed.
• identify present unmet needs that are generating negative emotions like anger, frustration, stress, sadness and pain.
• remember your unique gifts and things you have done well in the past.
• reinforce these resources in the REM state by creative rehearsal for future success in meeting your needs.

Our aim is to heal and let go of the past and lay down fresh neurological patterns that help you take the actions to meet your needs and generate a rich and satisfying life.

STRESS MANAGEMENT
Stress enlarges your amygdala and makes you sensitized to more stress, but relaxation techniques can help change the neural connections and development of your brain to support a calm and balanced response to the challenges of life.
