FREED: 5 Steps to Let Go of Negative Feelings

I wrote FREED to help people who feel stuck in cycles of stress, self-doubt, or unresolved emotions. Drawing on my years of work as a hypnotherapist and mindfulness teacher—as well as my own recovery journey—I’ve created a practical process that guides you gently through even the most difficult feelings.

At the heart of FREED is the FREED Method:

Feeling – learning to recognise and name what’s really there

Resistance – noticing what it is you don’t want (what’s keeping you stuck!)

Experience – allowing you to connect with your physical experience

Examine – shifting perspective and choosing supportive action

Distance – creating perspective so you are no longer defined by what you feel

This isn’t just another self-help book—it’s a toolkit for emotional resilience, a way of working with yourself that you can return to again and again.
