Clare Assante is the owner and founder of Blindsided by thought, a coaching business run from home near Exeter in the UK and online. She suffered with anxiety herself for 25 years, after coming across an understanding of how the mind works (which is like having an instruction manual for it), everything made sense and the anxiety dissolved. Clare has been focusing on coaching teenagers/young people and their parents because if she’d known this growing up things would’ve been a-lot more fun. As a parent of 3 she is so glad she has this understanding when parenting her teens. Clare is a Change coach and is certified to coach teenagers. She is also trauma informed and is an iheart facilitator. Clare coaches in her local secondary school and has helped many teenagers to build up more confidence and feel less anxious.

This is so true! Love the part where the mind says ā€œBeware! Beware!ā€ because it’s trying to protect us but we don’t always need it to do that. Thank you šŸ™

Love this Clare! Thanks for the reminder to give space and time to tricky situations, and that we best support our kids by not getting caught up in their overthinking or low mood. Brilliant! 🤩

When my son was in middle school, I remember the principal saying, ā€œThe middle school years can be like a rollercoaster. Don’t get on the ride with your son!ā€ 🤣I love how your talk reminded me that truly listening is more than enough. It can be hard for me to not want to fix things for my son, but it’s always a beautiful moment when he has his own insights. Thank you for your clear and confident guidance, Clare! šŸ™šŸ»

Thank you for sharing your insights, Clare. šŸ™šŸ» I really resonated with how you said that we are not in charge of the filters that we pick up. It was so interesting- I took a nice, deep breath when I heard you say that. Then the filters create a story that feels ā€œreal,ā€ but is made of nothing. I listened to your track twice, and I’m sure I will come back to it. ā˜ŗļø

Love what you say about just being there, Clare - no action needed. You can just allow the dust to settle and isn’t it interesting how something can turn from problem to non-issue without any input at all!!

Great insights Clare! Just having this awareness to begin with is going to make a difference as you are less likely to be in pure ā€œreaction modeā€ when something comes up.
