My Quest

As QCH Therapist Carrie Setford looks out at trees it makes her wonder how we can bring more of what they achieve to our own lives. More of being able to accept all of the changes that are thrown at us, adapting and noticing all of the differences in our lives throughout the year, but still being ourselves.

To discover what you can learn from trees about how to live authentically, and to celebrate the 50th National Tree Week, have a read of Carrie's article via the link in the comments and on My Quest Hub.

Thank you, Carrie, for these inspiring words. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahe#QCH

Did you know, we are creatures who seek meaning? Our brain doesn’t like things to ‘just happen’.

From the earliest age we are looking to make sense of the world, to make it predictable. Cognitive psychology suggests that we act as scientists, forming personal hypotheses about the way the world works, and creating behaviour that is appropriate to these beliefs.

The writer Robert Anton Wilson suggests a dual mental mechanism of ‘the Thinker’, and ‘the Prover’. He suggests that once the ‘Thinker’ has developed a belief about any aspect of existence, the ‘Prover’ will adjust the input from our senses to validate the belief. The maxim is ‘What the Thinker thinks, the Prover proves.”

That's why, if we have a phobia, and every time we avoid what we're scared of we survive, our brain thinks it is proof that the phobia and subsequent behaviour is helpful. It looks for evidence to prove ourselves right, and so we get stuck in behaviours that aren't necessary but that we unconsciously think are needed to keep us safe.

If you find yourself repeating behaviours that you don't want to be doing, but which somehow seem to give temporary relief, reach out to a Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapist to help you let go of the underlying limiting beliefs that have been keeping you stuck, until now.

Search for the QCHPA Therapist Finder to start your journey to freedom from that behaviour.

Today is International Men's Day and we're grateful that Kris Murray, QCH Therapist at Sansun Therapy Company, has written an article for My Quest Hub to mark the day.

On the 19th November, in 93 countries, they observe the day which looks to celebrate men's positive contributions, challenge harmful stereotypes, and highlight the urgent health issues men face – such as high rates of suicide, domestic violence against men, and the alarming statistics of men's health concerns.

Kris explains: "International Men's Day is more than just a celebration. It's a call to acknowledge the silent battles, to recognise the value of every man's life, and to promote unity and health for a better society.

"This day reminds us that every man has a role in crafting a healthier, more equitable world. So let's come together to support this cause. Here's to International Men's Day."

Read Kris' article on My Quest Hub through the link in the first comment.
