Are you Overly-Stressed, Anxious or Burnt out? (or all 3)

Do any of these challenges describe your situation?

• You frequently feel stressed and anxious, even if there are no obvious triggers, and if there are things worrying you, you get stuck, repeatedly going over them in your mind, and you can’t stop!

• You’ve got used to running on adrenalin, you’re tired and wired at night, and you spend the weekends just trying to gather enough energy for the week ahead.

• Your mind is busy with “what if” thoughts, those thoughts can easily turn into ‘scary movies’, playing out worst case scenarios, keeping you overwhelmed and anxious.

• You often feel emotionally triggered, then it can take hours or even days to bring yourself down, only to find yourself reeling into the next emotionally charged situation.

• You struggle to sleep, often waking in the early hours, hijacked by your thoughts… now you’re dreading the whole sleep thing, because you know how fragile it will leave you feeling the following day.

• At work, you’re putting off those difficult conversations, and when it comes to presentations, that you used to take in your stride, they can now send your anxiety levels through the roof.

Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything… but nothing seems to work!

Maybe you’ve tried some of the old traditional approaches like Counselling, Coaching, Psychotherapy, Stress Management Courses, Meditation, Mindfulness, Yoga, Exercise, Medication etc…

…with little or no improvement. Or maybe you did see some small changes, only to fall back into your overwhelmed and stressed-out state.

Just for the record, I’m not putting other methods down here; There can be benefits to the approaches I’ve mentioned. It’s just that “Achiever Stress” is different, and it needs to be approached in a very specific way (we’ll get to that in a moment).

Has your success come at a cost, and now you’re paying the price?

Chances are, you’ve been successful in your business or career, but it’s all come at a cost!

As the responsibilities and pressure have increased at work and at home, you find it impossible to let go of your daily stresses, and now you’re struggling to be present for your partner and family, and that’s adding a layer of guilt to the situation.

You might even tell yourself, things will improve once certain external circumstances change…

You get to the end of this big project at work…

You get more staff to support you…

You make it to the next holiday period…

The kids are older and more independent…

But in reality, nothing really changes; the sleepless nights continue; you spend the weekend trying to muster up the energy to go into battle again on Monday morning, and you get that familiar sinking feeling on Sunday evening, knowing that it’s going to be a slog, just making it through the week.

Kristin went from thoughts of burning down her hard won career, to actually enjoying her new executive role.

Hi Russell,

Just to let you know how well things are going. As a result of your programme I’ve been able to transform my situation regarding the over-stressing, anxiety and constant tiredness that had been a problem for the previous 7 years.

Not only that, but after taking on a new executive role recently, I’ve noticed how differently and more effectively I’m dealing with potentially challenging people, situations and work life in general. Before our work together, I would never have considered taking another senior role again, let alone be enjoying it as much as I am.

Many thanks, Kristin

You could be stuck in the “The Achievers Trap”

If you’ve been experiencing any of these problems for 3 months or more, there’s a good chance that you’re stuck in “The Achievers Trap”

So what exactly is the Achievers Trap?

After working as a Therapist and Coach for almost 20 years, with hundreds of clients and thousands of client hours, It’s a pattern that I’ve seen playing out for so many people, especially for Busy Achievers.

It’s usually the result of a combination of 2 factors

1. A specific personality type

2. In a specific situation

1. The personality type that’s most susceptible

The personality type I often find myself working with is – Intelligent, Creative, Ambitious, Analytical, Perfectionist, with a Busy Mind and a Sensitive Nature.

There’s no blame or judgement here, in fact I’d put myself in the same category, and yes I’ve been stuck in the Achievers Trap in the past… that, along with my training, and my 2 decades of client work, have given me a deep understanding of this challenge.

2. The situation that leads to the Achievers Trap

The specific situation I‘m talking about, usually develops after a lifetime of being the achiever.

You’ve most likely pushed yourself to do well from a young age, striving to be the “straight A student”, then more of the same within your career.

Then the added pressure of relationships, other life events, and maybe kids came along.

Along the way, the stress and pressure has been left unchecked, and has been building in the background.

And you most likely acclimatised and got used to a level of discomfort.

This path is especially true for women achievers, as so often they’re the manager in the home. That, added to all the pressure that comes along with a successful career, can take the responsibilities and stress to an all time high.

You get to the tipping point, and now you’re stuck in stress!

I’ve worked with so many successful professional women in their forties, often with kids, where the situation has become unsustainable, or even worse, they’ve hit the wall, and burnt-out completely!

This combination of personality type, in the situation I’ve described is like the perfect storm brewing.

When the stress has been consistent over time in this way, it conditions the stress centre in the brain to be always on alert.

It’s as though the needle on the pressure gauge has gone into the red danger zone, and got stuck there!

The cycle forms, and now stress is fuelling itself

To top it off, the physical, mental and emotional symptoms you’re now experiencing, are all causing more and more stress.

This all adds together to set up a very efficient “self-fuelling cycle” (this is where most people get completely stuck).

That’s why the weekly yoga class, a few therapy sessions, or attempting to meditate when it all gets too much, is just not going to cut it!

The stress cycle is going to continue to win over!

Could you be stuck in the Achievers Trap?

If you are stuck in the Achievers Trap, you’re not likely to find the balance you’re looking for by just waiting for it to pass.

The stress is being re-triggered and maintained in so many ways at this point, that now your brain has rewired itself, and become conditioned to remain in a state of low level stress.

That rewiring of the brain is down to neural plasticity; The brains ability to adapt and change, depending on how you’re using it.

At this point your system is stuck in a fight or flight response (stress response).

That fight or flight, is an amazing process, which evolved to get us out of momentary danger.

But, when maintained over the long term, it becomes completely destructive. It exhausts your body, disrupts most body systems, and causes a range of physical, mental and emotional symptoms.

Now you’re in the danger zone, at risk of total burnout!

At this point you’re in a vulnerable position; Resources are low, and there’s very little margin to play with.

So, if something else comes along to overwhelm you; a relationship or family issue, an illness, increased work pressure etc… this can tip things over the edge.

This is usually the story when someone burns out completely.

The stress has been high for some time, then, some other physical, mental or emotional stressor comes along, and it’s as if the fuse blows!

You need a step-by-step system to follow – that’s why I created The Stress Reversal Method that has helped 100’s of overwhelmed achievers

Most approaches out there, just aren’t structured in the right way to reverse the affects of this problem, and can leave you questioning whether anything can help.

You need a system that covers all bases!

That’s why I created The Stress Reversal Method and The Rewired Programme; A straight forward, pragmatic approach to reversing the effects of stress, and rewiring the brain to prevent burn-out, designed for busy professionals, and proven to work with hundreds of clients over 2 decades.

Why has The Stress Reversal Method worked so well, when so many other approaches have failed?

Most other approaches focus on implementing change in one of three areas…either physical, mental or emotional.

Unfortunately, when we’re dealing with the Achievers Trap, this leaves holes in the approach, meaning, whilst you’re working on that one area, maybe even getting a little relief…

You’re likely to be unconsciously sabotaging yourself by driving stress in the other two areas.

The fact is, if you want to efficiently dial down your stress levels, and put the steps in place to rewire your brain, you’re going to need to focus on effecting change in all three areas – physical, mental and emotional.

That’s exactly what we do, using The Stress Reversal Method, in the 90 day, Rewired Programme.

Here’s just some of what we cover…

Step 1. (Physical)

Rapid Stress Release – gets rid of that wiry, tense, activated feeling in your body

Firstly, we’ll set a solid foundation with my Stress Release practice. Using this simple physical technique, rapidly calms the stress trigger in your brain, and releases stress from your system. So you can get rid of that wiry, tense, activated feeling in your body, and get relaxed, present and grounded.

This simple but powerful daily practice, takes just a few minutes to complete, and is like pushing the neurological reset buttons in your brain. I’ll hand you a tried and tested protocol, which will dial-down your stress levels, increase your energy and improve your sleep.
Step 2. (Mental)

Calming the Mind – turns down the mind-chatter and stops overthink

After setting the foundation with the physical practice, we’ll look at calming the mind. Consistent challenging thoughts and general mind-chatter, are now holding your system in stress.

I’ll teach you a specific method you can use to turn down the overthink, weed-out the anxiety-causing “what if” thoughts, and hit the pause button on the internal scary movies.

Once we clear-out all that destructive mind-chatter, you’ll go on to develop new, healthy mind habits that will lead to being more present, positive and relaxed.
Step 3. (Emotional)
Emotional Mastery – gets you off the emotional rollercoaster.

Next I’ll teach you my emotional clearing method. With this easy to use technique, you’ll be able to rapidly process challenging emotions, like fear, overwhelm, anxiety, anger, frustration, resentment, etc etc.

This easy to use process will give you a noticeable sense of relief in the moment. This will allow you to get you off the emotional rollercoaster, and refocus on to something more constructive. (Once you’ve mastered this, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!)
Step 4.
Releasing the Blocks – I’ll help you along the way, using the skills and knowledge that I’ve developed over 20 years in this field.

Throughout this 90 day process, you’ll be working 1:1 with me. Together we’ll systematically identify and remove the mental/emotional blocks that are causing some energy draining behaviours.

This is beyond just Burnout Recovery Coaching. Coaching is very effective, and a part of my approach, but, sometimes we need to dig a little deeper to get to the core of things.

I’ll use the skills and knowledge that I’ve developed over 20 years, working as a therapist specialising in this area, to help you get to the real drivers that are fuelling these problems.

My intention is, to not only help you to resolve your current challenge, but to prevent it reoccurring in the future.

Once patterns like procrastinating, impostor syndrome, people pleasing, overdelivering or self-doubting etc. are no longer at the forefront, you’ll get yourself unstuck, and plug up the holes where you’ve been losing all that energy.

By releasing these internal handbrakes, your productivity and creativity will soar to new heights.
Step 5.
Future Proofing – you’ll have a powerful set of tools, to work through whatever life throws at you!

After going through the initial de-stressing and rewiring process, you’ll go on to learn how to apply these powerful tools to any situation and life event moving forwards.

You’ll gain confidence as your self-management goes to a whole new level. Now you have these “tools for life”, you’ll know exactly what to do, to work through whatever life throws at you.

This will make feeling stuck, overthinking everything, and being emotionally hijacked a thing of the past. Course-correcting your life in this way, will make being grounded, relaxed and confidently resilient your natural state.

Anna went from stressed and exhausted, to getting her resilience back and keeping it

I found myself experiencing very little resilience.

I didn’t bounce back as easily as I was used to and I didn’t know why.

This led to a period of stress related exhaustion. I found that very few people fully understood what I was going through.

It wasn’t until I began working with Russell in his program that I had a personal breakthrough.

His one-to-one coaching and mentoring was tailored specifically to me, and I found it to be an invaluable part of the process.

Our work together has given me an understanding of how I function, along with tools that have worked for me to get my resilience back on track and to stay there.

I’d highly recommend Russells work to anyone who’s feeling stuck, burnt-out, or experiencing any kind of stress related issue.

The combination is the key, to why this method works so well!

When we combine these tools in this way, there’s a synergistic effect that takes place; each area supports and enhances the other areas. This accelerates and reinforces the results, whilst preventing any self-sabotage.

That’s why I’ve been able to help so many people who’ve been stuck in the Achievers Trap, and a lot of them had previously tried everything out there, without success.

When you get this advanced level of control over your system, you get your life back!

The ripple effects from taking part in this life changing programme

The interesting and satisfying thing I’ve noticed through this work is, as well as the rebalancing effect it has, there are always ripple effects, for anyone taking part, and for those around them…

• Parents becoming more present for the kids

• Relationships rebalancing and improving

• The ability to feel a sense of appreciation for the good things in life

• New opportunities arising in the form of business growth or impressive promotions

• A Renewed sense of life purpose

Those ripple effects, that emanate from a person when they find more balance, positively impact those around them, and the benefits then roll out into the years ahead.

This work always proves to be life enhancing in all areas.

I find that so rewarding to see, and be a part of.

Liz, rebalanced her health and then landed her Directorship.

Working with Russell and going through his fantastic programme has taught me some invaluable practices and techniques which have become part of my resilience toolkit. I use them regularly to help with stress management and the positive benefits have shown up in all areas of my life.

As a result, I feel so much happier, in control, grounded and productive.

I knew our work together was resulting in positive changes, but when I got my Director promotion, it proved beyond doubt the huge impact it has had.

I have found working with him practical, highly effective and surprisingly fun

Liz C. – Director at one of the “Big 6” Accountancy Firms (UK)

My story – I experienced plenty of my own Achiever Stress in the past

I started off my work life in a corporate firm in London in the 80’s. After meeting my partner at the time and relocating to Wales, I started and ran my own business.

It took years of struggle, and plenty of Achiever Stress, but it became successful in the end. Just as things were taking off in my business, I was drawn to another path; the world of Therapy and Self-Development. I retrained and started my work with clients.

Fast forward 20 years, many 100’s of clients, and thousands of client hours later, I’ve become the expert on Stress, Anxiety and Burnout Related issues.

I’m the creator of The Stress Reversal Method, a straight forward system that anyone can follow to reverse the effects of stress, and rewire their brain to prevent burnout.

I live with my family in Wales in the UK. I love the simple things, like socialising with friends, spending time in nature, swimming in the sea and the pool. I have a lovely supportive partner and I’m the proud Dad of 2 kids, 2 step kids and Loui our dog.

My promise to you, if we were to work together…

If it’s a mutual fit and if we decide to work together, here’s my promise to you…

• I’ll listen deeply to you, in order to understand your situation.

• I won’t set goals for you and I won’t tell you what to do, it’s your life and you are in charge. What I will give you is best advice, based on my experience of working with hundreds of clients over 2 decades.

• I will help you clearly see where the roadblocks are, and what’s holding you back. I’ll also offer perspective as to what’s needed for you to break free from this cycle, and develop the balance you’re looking for.

• I’ll help you to develop a clear and concise plan that is simple to implement.

• I’ll also work alongside you as your coach, therapist and mentor, helping you to initiate that plan, and navigate any obstacles that come up along the way.

• The approach that I will share with you is about creating deep and lasting change, and equipping you with the tools to maintain that longterm.

Committing to the Stress Reversal Method can create positive transformation that extends into all areas of your life. If you stick to the plan, and remain as consistent as possible, (the good news is, that you don’t have to do it perfectly to see great results) then positive change is inevitable.

Is this all resonating – could this be exactly what you need?

Perhaps this has resonated with you: Maybe it feels like I’ve been talking directly to you, and that this could be the very thing to help you in your situation?

If that’s the case, then I’d love to explain more about how it works, and what it would look like to take part, along with giving you some actionable tips and advice you can use right away.

I offer a free Stress Resolution Session, where I can explain more about this unique approach, and learn more about your situation.

During the session we can:

Identify your top causes of stress and form a personalised action plan
Uncover any potential blocks that could be getting in your way
Get clarity on where you need to focus for the quickest results

The session is completely free, and here’s why!

Why do I offer these free sessions? It’s simple – every few calls, I chat to someone who’s so excited about their action plan, they want to expedite the process, by getting my help in implementing it.

Of course some people choose to take the action plan and go on their way, and that’s fine too!

There’s a limit to how many of these free Stress Resolution Sessions I can offer, so if you’re interested, don’t delay!

So right now you have 2 options…

Option 1:

Keep doing the same thing, telling yourself that it will be better once this or that has changed…

But in reality, if you’re entirely honest with yourself, 3 – 6 months down the line, not much is likely to change!

Option 2:

Make this a priority; realise quite how much impact this is having on your life (and others), and put yourself at the front of the list of priorities for once. Then follow a method that has been proven to work, and is designed specifically for people like you, in your situation. Or at least allow yourself to take the first step to discover more.

Just imagine for a moment, in 3 – 6 months time, being able to feel relaxed and centred in your body, have consistent energy, sleep well at night and wake feeling well rested, experience a calm mind, and an emotional stability that you can rely on.

If you want to know more, and if you want to have a clear plan to get you back into balance, then let’s chat!
