I want to share something with you.

Because for a long time, I believed anxiety was just part of who I was.

I thought that lying awake at 3am with my mind racing was normal. 

That feeling of my chest tighten before every conversation was just “me.” 

That the relentless voice whispering “what if it all goes wrong?” was a price I had to pay for being ambitious, caring, alive.

But here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of people over the years:

Anxiety isn’t who you are. It’s a story your mind keeps telling you.

The Story Your Mind Tells You

If you’re over 30, you’ve probably built a life with responsibilities, people who rely on you, and moments that may look great from the outside.

But inside, maybe it feels like this:

→ Replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing
→ Avoiding speaking up because your heart races
→ Feeling permanently on guard, waiting for the next “what if?”
→ Waking at night, exhausted but unable to stop thinking

Here’s the thing I wish someone had told me earlier:

The mind is a brilliant storyteller—but it doesn’t always tell the truth.

Sometimes it tells you you’re not safe, even when you are. It warns you of danger, even when there’s none. It whispers old fears from years ago, convincing you that you’re not enough, or that something terrible is about to happen.

And when those stories go unchallenged, they become your reality.

Your Unconscious Mind… Is Like An AI System

Here’s a way I often explain it to clients:

Your unconscious mind is a bit like AI programming.

→ You only get out what you put in.

If you’ve spent years feeding it instructions like “People are judging me,” or “I’m not safe,” it keeps running that code—even if your life has completely changed.

Sometimes, like AI, your mind gets the wrong end of the stick. It misunderstands the data. It sees threats where there aren’t any.

And just like an AI model, sometimes you have to go back in and adjust the instructions and programming.

Hypnotherapy is how we speak the language of that system. 

It’s how we rewrite the code that’s been running in the background, shaping how you think, feel, and react.

Why I Created The Freedom Code For Anxiety

In the past few years, I’ve worked with people who’ve carried anxiety like a silent weight for decades.

Like Emma, who used to avoid speaking up in team meetings because the thought of everyone’s eyes on her made her chest tighten and her mind go blank.

She’d rehearse what to say a hundred times, then stay silent because her anxiety convinced her she’d embarrass herself—or say the wrong thing.

Three sessions into our work together, Emma didn’t just speak up—she confidently led a project presentation she’d been avoiding for over a year.

The same week, she booked a weekend away with friends without obsessing over every tiny detail.

Not because she became a different person—but because she finally stopped believing the story that anxiety was her identity.

That’s why I created the Freedom Code for Anxiety. 

Because I wanted to offer people a way to rewrite those old stories—and adjust the programming.

This Is Not Just Another Course

This isn’t years of talking therapy.

It’s work that reaches the place where those stories live—the unconscious mind.

It’s where real change happens. The kind that lets you:

→ Calm the racing thoughts
→ Sleep peacefully through the night
→ Walk into rooms feeling like you belong
→ Trust yourself, no matter what life throws your way
