Hi Folks

IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

If you need to /want to contact me please do so via text / whatsapp / email.

Messenger has booted me off - I cannot get in. In trying to fix it, I discover the same has happened to many many folk, and they as individuals have not been able to fix it, and Messenger is summarily unhelpful, so I don't hold out much hope for mine!

Take care,
Tanya

As 2020 is rapidly coming to a close and 2021 is nearly on our doorstep, it is a time for reflection. It has been a massively challenging year for so many people in so many different ways. We are at a turning point where our learnings can help to inform how we will be in the future. I will write more on this in the coming days. We have choices and we have options.

Many people have been triggered, and have been having huge emotional responses to the situation in the UK, in their own lives or to the global picture. People who have spoken to me personally will be aware that I talk about the "emotional pot" - the emotional "petrol tank" - that many of us have previously, through life experiences, have stoked and filled, ready to be ignited by the smallest of sparks. If this petrol tank or pot was full _before_ lockdown, the stresses during the last few months will have caused many people to have spilled over, petrol burning and the smallest of sparks causing meltdown. A few people have moved through the last few months with little personal impact - but many have not. So - this is what I do. I help people to ditch any excess petrol. To lighten their loading. To enable them to have more thinking space, and hence more resilience on a day-to-day basis.

I received this testimonial recently. I am immensely grateful for this gentleman in sharing his experiences with me, and being brave in seeking change. Thank you - you know who you are.


"I have been an exceptionally lucky man. Happily married to a wonderful wife for over 50 years, having a marvellous and loving Daughter, and a great and varied career, which enabled me to travel the world. Like everybody, life has taken me through highs and some lows.

Sadly, my wonderful wife passed away under very tragic circumstances in 2019. I would class myself as a strong character who has had experiences through life which has required some moral courage. However, I certainly was not prepared for this awful tragedy. Alas, I went into a very dark place and could not find a way out, to be honest, I do not know if I wanted a way out! A terrible state to be in.

I have in the past, been a sceptic when it comes to Coaching, however I was lucky enough to be coached by Tanya Collins. I cannot believe what she has done for me and what she achieved. The methodology used is so gentle and non-invasive. I never believed it possible that I could be rid of so much trauma and depression.

I am now 77 years of age, and have met another lovely lady who was in the same position as me, having also been married for 50 years. I am so lucky to be in this position.

Tanya Collins gave me a new life that I never thought possible. Thank you so much Tanya."

I have had the honour to be asked, and the pleasure to participate in a podcast hosted by Mark Levien for his "Creative Venture Podcast Series" - a series of audios that are seeking to assist Creatives in "cultivating a versatile toolkit involving skills like resilience, courage and self-awareness in order to achieve success." - and it's not just applicable to "Creatives" either! ;)

I have to say that I have been blown away by the sound quality on this. Mark is an experienced professional Audio Engineer. Thank you so much Mark for the opportunity. And if you need sound and/or film (I have seen his high quality visual stuff too!), Mark is great to work with! Have a listen - and a share!!!

Also on Spotify!!! :)

A test with some tech - and a heads up to watch this space! My thoughts....etc etc.....

There is apparently a Sea Eagle resident in Oxfordshire currently, living alongside some kites along the M40 - would dearly love to see this majestic creature!!....... This, I don't think is a Sea Eagle (looks like a Bald Eagle to me - which I have indeed seen in the San Juans, in the Pacific Northwest, many moon ago - happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong!!)
However - the message is clear - the message is thank you. Thank you to my client who came and did the work, who got the changes he was seeking. Smoothly, safely - and relatively quickly. Do contact me if you'd like to know more.....

"Tanya , having been recommended to me 2 months ago as a possible solution to my many issues I have carried with me through my life, I was sceptical that Spectrum Therapy would help me move forward with my life. However, in a little over 3 sessions I felt my anxiety, anger and fears that were all linked to issues in my childhood had totally lifted and I genuinely felt able to look at day to day situations more objectively and am now able to control my emotional responses to them. I have come away from our sessions feeling more content and optimistic about the future and this has brought real happiness into my relationship with my partner . Thank you so much for changing my life and getting me through what have been difficult times for me over the last few months. "

This will be a superb event!!

Performance arts will be an exciting part of the first ever TEDxBanbury event coming to our town next year.
TEDxBanbury extends a warm welcome to Banbury based Remarkable Dance Company who will perform at the event on 29 February 2020.
Supported by Arts Council England, The Remarkable Dance Company was formed in response to a need for more inspiring creative activities for older people in Oxfordshire. At present there are 19 members in the company aged between 53 and 82. To date they have worked at locations in Banbury and Bicester with professional choreographer Leva Kuniskis, Uchenna Dance Company, and world renowned modern ballet company Yorke Dance Project, to develop new and exciting dance pieces.
"We are delighted that the Remarkable Dance Company will be showcasing a unique dance piece against the beautiful backdrop of St Marys Church," said Hilary Beaton, Curator of TEDxBanbury. "Rehearsals are now underway with members of the company which are being co-ordinated through our creative partner the Mill Arts Centre."
Tickets are now on sale for the inaugural TEDxBanbury event early next year, bringing together speakers from a range of disciplines to create an inspiring programme across the day.

Well, I am always honoured when folk send me such kind words.......Thank you. And, if you would like some help with anxiety, anger or any other emotional overwhelm, the methods I use are gentle and designed to keep folk safe, and can work pretty darned quickly. If this interests you, then please do drop me a line.

"Having suffered increased anxiety and anger management issues after heightened stress at work and greater responsibilities at home, it was suggested I should meet with Tanya @ Creating Core Change. The introductory session was relaxed, friendly and professionally managed - Tanya explained the techniques used and to what purpose. Although this session was FOC and without obligation to book, it felt right for me to arrange a follow up session.

Am so glad I did - Tanya manages these sessions with tact and care, succeeds in getting to the nub of each issue and emotion, taking one back to past experiences, but not intrusively. It all feels very natural and the benefits manifested themselves with me very quickly. I've had considerable pressure to tackle subsequently and my approach is far more measured and positive. Issues that niggled me before now don't trigger disproportionate emotional reactions, a key issue I wanted to address.

Tanya describes the process as syphoning off the reservoir of petrol under the flame, so reactions are nullified. Its a great analogy and her sessions are testament to it." - A Local Man

Mind and body are ONE integrated system. When you release old emotional patterns, physiology will shift accordingly (other environmental factors notwithstanding). I went to a brilliant lecture a couple of years ago by Prof Irene Tracey - Prof of Anaesthesiology, Oxford - who was researching the impact of emotions on pain. She had massive compelling evidence that the higher the emotional "loading", the lower the pain threshold, and the more pain experienced.
I have worked with many clients who have reported changes in physiological symptoms, including pain reduction. If you want to chat to see how what I do may impact you, give me a call.

Standard therapies were not working. But once I discovered the role of the brain in physical pain, I began to mend, says writer Hannah Millington

Just because if we want to do something we’ve never done before, our wee amygdala may scream “fear” at us. Beyond the comfort zone is where the treasure is!!
Ignore him. Or if he hijacks you completely, neutralise him!!

What do you really want out of life? What is it really and truly that your heart desires? Can you imagine it now? You can, can’t you?!! Are you taking daily steps towards that dream, that desire? Every single moment, we have a choice point, in how we direct our thoughts, what we choose to do. Granted, sometimes, it’s not easy, and we have all experienced times where it is a real effort to refocus and go beyond the emotions that sometimes get in the way. But it is worthwhile as we start to create beyond our thinking and generating the ways to move forward. No matter what your start point is, it is possible to move forward and step towards that dream. If you can think it, you can achieve it.
If you find yourself struggling with this I am happy to have a chat over a brew! Drop me a line 😊
