About Jay Pullen

Covid19 turned out to be a time for me to retreat and decide what I wanted to do with my practice for the next few years. As I reflected on the clients I had worked with the previous years I noticed that one commonality was the ancxiety that was beneath the various issues they were working on. Sometimes I could help with that anxiety and sometimes not. Toward the end of the Covid shutdown I decided to take a deeper look into the issue of anxiety. That journey took me to places I did not expect to go. However, it was all fascinating and informative. At a point I decided to create a workshop on the whole subject of anxiety. While hypnotherapy can certainly make a contribution to resolving anxiety, the complexity of anxiety led me to understand that a more multi-faceted approach was called for. The workshop I have created is to provide a foundational understanding around the mind/body elements of anxiety, as well as tools and resources a person can use to resolve anxiety. I use the word "resolve" because anxiety is not a pathology to cure or something to eliminate. Anxiety is a warning system our body uses to warn us of some kind of threat we need to be aware of so that we can address it. What is ours to do is establish the right relationship with anxiety. The key word here is "Resilience.""Resilience" is now the focus of my practice.
