The real story of a solicitor and mum who found peace through Head Trash Clearance
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks or meltdowns.
Sometimes, it looks like being a high-achieving professional who holds it together for everyone else… while quietly falling apart inside.
That’s how Sara described herself when she came to Head Trash — a successful UK solicitor, mother of two, running her own legal practice… but struggling to cope with even the smallest daily tasks.
She wasn’t just stressed. She was stuck.
This is the story of how, with just three Head Trash sessions and ten emotional clearances, Sara reclaimed her calm, clarity, and confidence — and finally experienced something she’d never felt before:
Peace.
“I was already anxious before I even got out of bed.”
When we first spoke, Sara was in a state of near-constant overwhelm.
“When I woke up in the morning, I usually have this enormous anxiety about all the things I need to do. My mind’s racing. Oh my God. Before I get out of bed, I’m already in a state.”
Her anxiety was driving everything — not just emotionally, but physically too.
Her nervous system was locked in fight-or-flight. There was no sense of safety. No rest.
Even sending a simple email would send her into a spiral.
“Even knowing I have to do tasks would trigger me. Writing an email meant someone would reply, and I’d have to email them back. And I just didn’t have the capacity.”
Living with High-functioning Anxiety
Sara’s story is a powerful example of what many people experience but don’t always recognise as anxiety.
This wasn’t anxiety in a clinical setting. This was high-functioning anxiety — the kind that lives under the surface of “doing well.” Where the person appears calm and capable… but inside, they’re flooded.
Her work, her family life, even small things like preparing for client meetings or school runs — all of it became emotionally loaded.
“I would be riling myself up the day before or two hours before a client meeting. I would be frozen. I wouldn’t be able to do anything.”
“Someone could’ve just breathed at me, and I would have exploded.”
The Turning Point: 3 sessions and 10 emotional clearances
Over the course of just one month, Sara completed three Head Trash Clearance sessions.
Together, we identified around ten key emotional patterns that were holding her hostage — patterns she wouldn’t have spotted on her own.
This is the power of working with a Head Trash practitioner: they help you get laser-focused on what actually needs clearing.
No guesswork.
No years of therapy.
“If I had to pick them myself, I would never have picked those. I didn’t even think about some of the things we worked on.”
“We did the core ones, right? The others were feeding off those. Once they were gone… it was like everything collapsed.”
This is what I like to call a “Jenga moment” — pulling out just the right blocks and watching the emotional tower fall away.
“I just feel so zen.”
By the end of the process, Sara felt a sense of calm she had never experienced before.
Not just a good day. Not just a stress-free week. A new default setting in her nervous system.
“Since I woke up after that 14-hour sleep… nothing can upset me. Nothing can trigger me.”
“I just keep saying it — but I’ve never felt peace like this before. And now that I have it, I can’t believe I lived so long without it.”
From Reactivity to Regulation
One of the most powerful shifts was in her emotional reactivity.
Her partner — who had often triggered her into states of rage and frustration — still behaved the same way. But Sara didn’t.
“He was tossing and turning in bed.
Normally, my brain would be on the verge of exploding because of anger.
But this time… there was no anger.
It was just: I can’t sleep. That’s it.”
She could feel that her nervous system had reset. The fight-or-flight had switched off. And she was no longer pulled into everyone else’s chaos.
“I feel like I’m walking on the floor, and that version of me — the stressed me — is screaming underneath, in a cellar. But the door’s not opening. I’m walking above it now.”
What she realised next
When the noise in your nervous system drops, clarity emerges.
And for Sara, that meant facing some uncomfortable truths — especially about her long-term relationship.
“I think I’ve outgrown him. He’s emotionally immature. But I’m with him because of the kids.”
“It’s almost like Stockholm syndrome.”
She realised how long she had been postponing her own life. Her career. Her peace. Her joy.
“All my life I’ve postponed everything — to be available at home, for the pickups, for this and that. Career has never really been possible, even though I wanted to.”
But now, she could feel something else emerging: readiness.
“I know I can achieve everything I want. I’m also scared of that. But if I put my head to it… I will do it.”
“I think I’m just testing my wings now. Like, do these work? Can I actually fly in these?”
Summary: What changed for Sara
In just three Head Trash sessions, Sara went from:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Morning dread and racing thoughts | Calm, steady mornings |
| Paralysis before client calls | Confident and focused |
| Triggered by partner and home stress | Emotionally neutral and resilient |
| Frozen by simple tasks | Clear and productive |
| People-pleasing and self-neglect | Ready to prioritise herself |
| Emotional chaos | Inner peace |
In her words…
“I don’t feel triggered. Nothing can upset me. It’s like… the weight’s gone.”
“This isn’t a high. It’s a new level.”
The Truth About Anxiety
Not all anxiety is visible.
Not all anxiety is loud.
Sometimes, anxiety hides in competence.
In people who are “coping.”
In women who carry everything.
But anxiety doesn’t have to be a life sentence. It’s a pattern. And patterns can be cleared.
