In our fast-paced lives, it is easy for our minds to get caught in a “problem loop”, relentlessly analysing what is wrong, who is to blame, and why our challenges seem so overwhelming. While understanding a problem has its place, dwelling on it can leave us feeling powerless and trapped. As a clinical hypnotherapist and counsellor in Melbourne, I’ve seen…
