Keeping Your Mind Positive in Times of Change

As we move toward the end of 2025, many people are noticing just how much change they’ve been navigating — personally, emotionally, and globally. In this Talk Time episode, clinical hypnotherapist Meredith McCarthy shares gentle, practical insights into how we can keep our minds positive and steady, even when the world feels unsettled.
This conversation explores the powerful connection between thoughts, language, and emotional wellbeing. Meredith explains how the internal dialogue we carry — often unnoticed — directly affects our nervous system, energy levels, and sense of calm. If you’ve been feeling flat, frustrated, anxious, or in need of a mental reset, this episode offers a supportive pause and a fresh perspective.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- How everyday thoughts influence emotions and stress levels
- Why focusing on what you don’t want can increase anxiety
- The importance of conscious language and self-talk
- How reframing challenges can build resilience and clarity
- Why mindset, intention, and energy shape how life responds to us
Meredith also shares how hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind — the part of us running habits, emotional patterns, and beliefs — and how this process can help people let go of what no longer serves them and move forward with confidence.
Towards the end of the episode, Meredith talks about the upcoming NZACH Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, beginning in February. The training focuses on Ericksonian hypnosis, metaphor, utilisation, and the ethical use of language, supporting students to help others access their inner resources safely and effectively.
If this conversation resonates with you, you’re warmly invited to reflect, listen again, or reach out with questions.
