SUMMARY:Managing Scanxiety with Neuroscience Informed Hypnotherapy - online session
DESCRIPTION:Explore the neuroscience behind feelings of anticipation and uncertainty and find practical techniques that can help interrupt the cycle. \nFor many people living with a brain tumour\, the period before scans or results can be one of the most emotionally demanding parts of the journey. This experience is often referred to as ‘scanxiety’. \n‘Scanxiety’ reflects the way the brain responds to anticipation and uncertainty. When the brain predicts potential threat\, attention can become locked onto worry\, sleep may be disrupted and the body may remain in a heightened state of alert. \nThis session explores the neuroscience behind these responses and introduces practical techniques that can help interrupt the cycle. \nUsing guided hypnosis\, breathwork and simple psycho sensory techniques\, participants learn how to redirect attention\, ease stress responses and create more mental space during the waiting period. \nThe aim is to provide gentle\, practical tools that support steadiness during the emotional ups and downs that often accompany ongoing medical monitoring.  \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket. \n  \nProgramme Participation \nThis workshop is primarily designed for new attendees who would like to learn the core skills of the programme. Previous participants are very welcome to revisit the workshop as a refresher\, and many find returning once a quarter helpful for reinforcing their learning. Weekly Reset sessions run every week and all participants are welcome to attend these regularly – please contact hello@brainstrust.org.uk for more details. Participants may also join the ‘Hypnotherapy for Calmness and Confidence Through Processes’ and ‘A Dose of Neuroscience’ sessions whenever they wish. \n  \nAbout Louise Baker \nLouise Baker MSc is an applied neuroscientist and hypnotherapist specialising in the neuroscience of stress\, attention and emotional regulation. She holds an MSc in Neuroscience and the Psychology of Mental Health from King’s College London and works with brainstrust supporting individuals and carers living with brain tumours.
