“Can 007 ever find long-lasting, genuine love & companionship?”
Dear Aunty M, I want this from my life: a balance between my inner Mr Machismo 007 and the Walter Mitty in me (my more pastoral, caring, vulnerable side). I always thought the two sides were in conflict. Knowing when to stop and bring in one side to balance the other. Is this a problem in itself or reflective of something more repressed? Is there a cure? What are the first steps? Yours in curiosity

I completely understand the drive to be what the media has portrayed to be masculine, or at least have a debonair sense of style, and unlimited supply of cool gadgets and fantastic cars!
The same media push the ‘fantasist or an inconsequential dreamer’, a Walter Mitty character – ‘dreamers who imagine themselves in dramatic or heroic situations’ - yet are expected to keep their head down and those thoughts to themselves.
Therefore, the best advice is to take only the best qualities you find in your actual self. Appreciate those qualities and find ways to apply them to your life.
What psychology and science have found in ‘The Laws of Attraction’, are that the ones who radiate the most confidence, tend to also be seen as the most attractive and amicable. It is genuinely about having a good vibe. So whether you work for MI5 or at the local library, find pride in those skill sets you have and you’ll have satisfaction in yourself and the laws of attraction will prevail.

She created C.H.A.N.G.E Hypnotherapy (which stands for Creative, Heuristic, Analogue, Neuroplasticity-Generated Energy). She works to strengthen a neuropathic environment, which helps people (and believe it or not, animals) to move forward towards positive change and life value.
