Welcome to the Story Mill podcast series – Thriving Beyond Stress & Burnout. In this episode, Claire Taylor talks with Claire Brooker – Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner.
Claire shares the story of how, as a high achieving graduate, she went from university into a fast paced all-consuming corporate career in The City in London.  Her health began to suffer and eventually, she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue.
Unable to take care of herself, Claire had to move back to her parents home.
She spent a year desperately seeking something to help her return to health & wellness.
The turning point came when Claire’s doctor told her that she’d probably never get well.  It stopped her looking beyond herself for ways to recover. 
Another year passed and Claire’s second turning point appeared in the form of a therapy called The Lightning Process.
Thankfully, she recovered from chronic fatigue and now buzzes with life and energy. She went on to spend ten years working for Phil Parker, the founder of the programme that led to her recovery.
However, now Claire runs her own practice, creates her own techniques and works with people who are suffering from stress & burnout.  Her take on burnout is refreshing in that she believes it is a necessary catalyst for transformation.
Claire is also a talented artist who loves to paint canvasses with bold colours and textures.  “Art is my soul,” she says.
She brings art and creativity into to her work helping others to get unstuck in life and find their true nature too.
