The Reset Room

Another DBT one for you this week, this time it’s Opposite Action. The idea’s simple: when an emotion’s pushing you to do something that won’t actually help, try doing the opposite instead.
Feeling anxious and want to avoid something? Do it anyway, gently. Feeling low and want to isolate? Reach out to one person. Frustrated and want to snap? Soften your voice first.
It won’t feel natural, that’s kind of the point, it works precisely because it interrupts the pattern. Save this one for next time 🤍

This week I’m sharing a bit of DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), one skill at a time. First up, the STOP skill, one I use myself when things start to feel like too much.
It’s simple: Stop, Take a step back, Observe what’s actually going on, then Proceed mindfully rather than just reacting. Small thing, but it genuinely helps you get a bit of space before you respond to something.
Save this one for next time you need it 🤍

If you’re dealing with anxiety or low mood, you’ve probably been told to “try mindfulness” about a hundred times and it can feel like a bit of a throwaway suggestion when you’re actually struggling. So here’s one thing that’s a bit more useful than just “be present.”
Anxiety and low mood often pull you in two different directions, anxiety drags your attention into the future, low mood drags it into the past. Mindfulness isn’t about clearing your mind or feeling calm on command, it’s about noticing where your attention actually is right now, without judging yourself for it.
One simple way to start, next time you notice your mind racing or stuck on something, just name it. Not analyse it, not fix it, just “this is anxiety” or “this is my mind going backwards again.” That tiny bit of distance between you and the thought is where mindfulness actually does its work.
It won’t fix everything on its own and it’s not a replacement for proper support if you need it, but it’s a genuinely useful tool to have alongside whatever else you’re doing.
I send out simple, practical tools like this every week, grab my free Mini Mental Reset Kit here and I’ll pop you on the list 👇

Sometimes we just need a reset . and that doesn’t mean it’s always about meditating or being in nature . sometimes it means we need a bloody good laugh ,it’s about having fun which is something I don’t see often talk about .
we all here so much about relaxation , walking, eating well , but laughing and having fun is such an important part of life , when’s the last time you belly laughed when’s the last time you watched something funny , when’s the last you danced or did something you feel is fun. Intentionally do one thing this week that makes you laugh and see how you feel afterwards.

Healing isn’t one moment. It’s a process.
It’s learning to feel your feelings instead of pushing them away. It’s noticing what’s happening in your body when your mind gets loud. It’s understanding why you react the way you do and slowly, gradually choosing differently.
Real healing involves both the mind and the body. You can’t think your way through it. You have to feel it, process it and let it move through you.
And that takes time. It takes patience. It takes a lot of self compassion on the days when it feels like nothing is shifting.
But something is always shifting, even when you can’t see it. Every time you pause instead of react, every time you breathe through something instead of running from it, every time you choose to be kind to yourself instead of critical that’s healing happening.
It’s not linear. It’s not pretty. But it’s real and it’s worth it. 💙

I Wanted to properly explain what The Reset Room is all about because I get asked a lot. It started because I kept noticing the same thing, people who knew something needed to shift but weren’t ready for (or didn’t need) a therapy room. They just needed something in between. Practical, gentle, actually grounded in real understanding, without it feeling clinical. So that’s what The Reset Room is, two sides of the same thing really. There’s the self-help side, workbooks, mindset tools and guidance built around my RESET framework (Recognise, Examine, Sense, Explore, Transform). It’s all about understanding why you think and react the way you do, and working with your patterns instead of against them. Then there’s the in-person side, Reiki and the Reset Facial, both here to help calm your nervous system down properly, not just relax you for an hour and send you straight back out feeling the same. I’m Claire, I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist (NCPS accredited) and I’m also qualified in hypnotherapy, so everything here comes from what I’ve learned supporting people properly, not just theory. Some people want to read and work through things in their own time and some people need to lie down in a quiet room and let their body catch up, and The Reset Room is built to hold both of those. If you’ve been wondering what it all actually is, that’s it, one idea, two ways in. Fancy trying a treatment for yourself? Message me to book Reiki or a Reset Facial, I’d love to help you switch off for a bit x
