Meet Bruce Brackett, social media personality, entrepreneur, self-taught visual artist, certified international motivational speaker, life coach, and the author of ‘How to Breathe While Suffocating: A Story Of Overcoming Addiction, Recovering From Trauma, and Healing My Soul’. Find out how a two-decade healing journey led Bruce to become a writer in this edition of #PortraitsandPages. “There are many challenges we face in life: trauma, addiction, poor mental health, self-identity crises and so many other things. I have endured and overcome many of these struggles, which is why I decided to share my story through my book, “How To Breathe While Suffocating.” My hope is that others can read it, feel less alone in their own journey, and find the motivation to keep moving forward. Throughout my journey, I’ve learned valuable tools that have helped me overcome these challenges—simple practices like breathing exercises, meditation, proper eating habits, exercise, and sharing my experience with others. We can’t keep what we have unless we give it away. I wrote my book to help people feel more motivated in their own journeys and to show them how to seize the opportunities they face every day. I try my best to lead by example and strive to be the very best version of myself—not just for me, but for other people. For me, moving forward means meditating, taking nature walks, spending quality time with my loved ones, and taking breaks to recharge. Recharging looks different for everyone, but for me, it means being creative, painting, singing, creating content (whether I post it or not). All of it is okay as long as I am putting myself first. As my father says his three dos…I pass this on to you. Do your best. Do no harm. And do for yourself every day, so you can do for others. It really can be that simple.” Find out more about Bruce’s book and our other Portraits and Pages’ authors here: https://ow.ly/YFle50UmwV0

The reality of social anxiety, fearing people. wanting to be invisible. I have been going to the same yoga class for about 2 years, today for the first time I actually had the courage to speak to the instructor. It was just a simple "thank you' at the end of the class but for me it's progress. I have spoken to 150 judges in a lecturer theatre, I have spoken at an assembly for 300 year 7's. I do YouTube videos and podcasts all with great success but social situations, small talk or chit chat and I struggle (more than struggle). My point is. *Everyone who faces a challenge has to do so at their own pace. *Everyone progresses at different rates. *What 1 person finds easy another person may find hard and another person may find petrifying and another person may enjoy. *Don't assume you know what another person is experiencing just ask. I am sure some people think I am rude and ignorant. *When encouraging people to reach out for support or a chat, some people won't no matter what. Sometimes you may need to reach in. For the record I go to yoga in an attempt to be good to my body and accept it rather than hate it and dissociate from it as a consequence of being sexually abused and raped as a child, I want to learn exercise is about taking care of the body ( and it some point hopefully enjoyable) and not punishing it through over exercise, and exercise addiction. #livedexperience

Lead Psychotherapist- Perception Modifier Therapy- Specialize in Mental Health Promotion, Addiction Recovery and Behavioral Therapy. Public Speaker (perceptionmodifier.com).
Often, people compliment us, recognize our strengths, and remind us of the thousand beautiful things that make us who we are. Yet, isn’t it strange how we tend to focus on that one negative comment, that single insecurity, or the isolated past event that left a scar? Our minds naturally fixate on these moments, replaying them, and sometimes letting them overshadow the vast goodness within us. But imagine if we decided to truly let go, to leave behind what weighs us down. What if, instead of clinging to criticism or failure, we chose to carry compassion, growth, and resilience? Ask yourself: what are you carrying today? Is it helping you grow, or is it holding you back? Sometimes, understanding why we hold onto certain things, even painful ones, can be the first step toward freedom and healing. As a psychotherapist, I’m here to help you explore these questions, to dive deeper into the patterns that keep you tethered to old pain, and to empower you in choosing what brings you peace. Together, we’ll unpack what’s necessary and let go of what isn’t, so you can walk lighter, freer, and more fully yourself. Ready to start? Send me a DM here, Let’s work together to make lasting change. #MentalHealthMatters #TherapyJourney #Healing #LettingGo #SelfGrowth #Mindfulness #Psychotherapy #video #Empowerment #TherapistSupport #reels #foryou #perceptionmodifier #explore

Educator and therapist, CBH therapist, SEMH tutor, founder of The Nest Hypnotherapy, BA (hons) PGCE Dip CBH
.......hypnotherapy! A few years ago, I sought therapy for what I now understand was ‘burn out’. It's a journey I'm grateful for as it taught me invaluable lessons. Yet, looking back, I realise it's a path that could have been navigated more effectively had I been equipped with the right tools to help me tackle the challenges I was facing at the time. Not all therapy is created equal, and you shouldn't wait until burnout to seek help either. That's why I'm passionate about shedding light on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. Unlike some other talk therapies, hypnotherapy is focused on setting goals and equipping you with practical skills to enable you to tackle life's challenges head-on. Since retraining in hypnotherapy and seeing clients through my practice, I've witnessed first hand how hypnotherapy can empower individuals to reclaim their lives. In just 4 to 6 weeks, my clients learn to become their own therapists, armed with techniques and skills that they can adopt for many of life's challenges and promote lasting change. If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and overcome burnout, I invite you to take advantage of a free consultation. Together, we can explore whether hypnotherapy is the right fit for your needs. Visit my website the nest hypnotherapy to learn more about my services and gain valuable insights into hypnotherapy through my blog. Plus, subscribe today to receive a free relaxation audio delivered straight to your mailbox!

Change Catalyst: supporting you to clear blocks, negative beliefs and emotions to move forward and excel in life. Career change, confidence, breaking habits, emotional & physical wellbeing, boosting your energy reserves.
Here's my face for today....Ever feel like you’re hiding behind a mask? Many of us wear masks every day, hiding emotions and struggles behind smiles or a calm face. We say "I'm fine" when we're not, or keep our worries hidden to protect ourselves—or maybe to protect others. But sometimes, it’s okay to let the mask slip. Real connections happen when we’re open, when we’re ourselves. Remember: it’s brave to be real, and even stronger to share what’s really on your heart. 💖 If you are struggling to be you, to be authentic or to find the courage to show your true self why not have a chat with me about how I can help you. You have nothing to lose except taking that first step and in just one session you WILL experience tangible change, tangible growth and a spring in your step.
