Hello. I've always had a strong interest in psychology, who we are as humans and how our minds work. So when everyone else was reading romance novels I was reading psychology books and doing brain entrainment courses.

Like most people of a certain age I have suffered the painful loss of pets, failed relationships and change. But after the loss of my Nana and after the shocking loss of my ex partner I fell in a heap. I went to counselling but I understood grief and pain and knew it was going to take time. I also knew that after 6 months of sitting around doing literally nothing I needed to try to move forward in a constructive way.

I knew enough about the brain to know that by staying in this negative place I was only going to reinforce the negative neural pathways in my brain and so I was either going to stay feeling the same way or start to feel worse which was an unbearable thought. So out of the shear determination to get out of a dark place I developed The Feel Better Way process. I made myself do it every single morning no matter how bad I was feeling. Slowly but surely I did start to feel better. Was the grief gone, absolutely not but small simple things started to feel doable again. After a few months I found that I was starting to notice the good things in life again. After a while, each time I had a negative thought I found that I automatically switched it to a positive one...I had re-trained my brain to a more positive place.

Over the years I've spoken about what I did to feel better during that time to people and so many of them have asked me to share it to help people going through the same thing.

So here I am and I'm glad you're here with me.
