Shaking Off Anxiety
TRE & Hypnotherapy Workshop with Luke Mullen & Zoe Clews
Saturday 25th October | 3.30pm-6.30pm
The Arc Centre, N1 7DF
What if you could gently teach your nervous system that it is safe to soften?
Join us for Shaking Off Anxiety, a nurturing workshop combining Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and Hypnotherapy, co-hosted by Luke Mullen and Zoe Clews.
Anxiety can leave our nervous system feeling as though it needs to stay constantly alert - like an inner guard dog, always watching, listening and ready to protect us. While this protective response has an important purpose, sometimes the guard dog can become over-vigilant, leaving us feeling tense, restless, overwhelmed or unable to fully switch off.
This workshop brings together two complementary approaches to help gently soothe and recalibrate the nervous system.
We’ll begin with TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) - a series of simple physical exercises designed to support the body in releasing muscular tension and settling the nervous system. Rather than needing to analyse or talk through experiences, TRE works with the body, creating an opportunity to let go of some of the physical holding patterns associated with stress and anxiety.
From there, we’ll transition into hypnotherapy, using the relaxed state created through TRE as a foundation for deeper rest, resource-building and positive change. Hypnotherapy can help you access the imagination and subconscious mind, encouraging new ways of responding to anxious thoughts, sensations and situations.
Together, TRE and hypnotherapy offer a powerful combination: TRE helps the body soften, while hypnotherapy helps the mind learn that it is possible to feel safe, calm and resourced.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll be introduced to practical techniques and resources that you can begin using straight away - giving you tools to support yourself beyond the workshop and help soothe your own “inner guard dog” when anxiety arises.
Everyone attending will also receive a take-home hypnotherapy recording, allowing you to continue practising and reinforcing the experience in your own time.
This is a gentle, integrative workshop with no expectation to share personal experiences or discuss the causes of your anxiety. You’ll be guided at your own pace, with an emphasis on safety, choice, curiosity and self-compassion.
You’ll leave with:
An experience of TRE and how it can support nervous-system regulation
An introduction to hypnotherapy and its role in working with anxiety
Simple resources you can use immediately after the workshop
A greater understanding of how to soothe an over-alert nervous system
Your own take-home hypnotherapy recording to continue the work at home
