A Spinning Mind

January has a way of pulling us in twenty directions at once. New projects to launch, resolutions to keep, diets to maintain, routines to establish.

The mental load can feel relentless.

Here’s what I’ve noticed: when we’re caught in that whirlwind of planning and willpower, we tend to live almost entirely from the neck up. We push through and grip tighter. We try to think our way to calm or plan our way to contentment.

But the body keeps its own score. The tension in your shoulders. The shallow breathing you don’t notice until someone points it out. The background hum of stress that never quite switches off.

This is exactly when a body-based practice becomes not just helpful, but essential.

TRE offers a way to discharge that accumulated tension—not by thinking about it or analysing it, but by letting your body do what it already knows how to do.

It’s easy to forget! I noticed my own practice trailing off over the festive period and it’s been a joy to return to it; to rediscover a still-yet-shaking base amidst the January hustle.

If you’ve been meaning to book a session, January is a great time to start: book a session today.

One more thing: after the success of the first in-person groups in Bristol, I’ll be running more group sessions in 2026.

More details soon—watch this space.

Take care of yourself and Happy New Year,
