Imposter Syndrome
I was watching a nature programme recently. It featured big cats – tigers, lions etc. I was watching a tiger as it walked. These big cats are unapologetic about their power. They’re enchanting because they put their full force into each and every step. These powerful beings are totally aligned with their present, their presence, their power, their purpose and their capacities. It gives them focus, peace and the confidence of success. They’re beautiful and what joy to witness! Wouldn’t it be AMAZING if we could all incorporate this into our daily lives for ourselves??? Unfortunately, many of us can’t actually align with this feeling and we doubt our abilities and feel like a fraud. It’s labelled Imposter Syndrome. Paradoxically, it disproportionately often affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. (Especially women). Many of us question whether we’re deserving of accolades. From a hypnotherapist’s point of view, this is known as “Cognitive Dissonance” – the mental discomfort from holding 2 opposing points of views which results in conflicting beliefs, attitudes & behaviours. At a conscious level you know, from experience, that you are competent, able and have a history of success, however there are dissonant beliefs and cognitions which override all of that and they cause you to experience self doubt, overthinking and discomfort. Hypnotherapy can help you to shift those unnecessary, unhealthy & redundant beliefs, quickly & safely in order to align you with your own peace, belief and power. If you would like to have a free 30 minute Discovery Call to find out more, then please call me. I’d be delighted to hear from you and to have a chat.

Jamie Primrose Contemporary Scottish Artist
Eco Chic at Home By Katherine ellCaptivating Skyscapes By The Acclaimed Painter
Jamie Primrose ‘Luminous skies over Fidra’ 40cm x 40cm, Oil on canvas
The transient nature of light onto water and land continually fascinates and inspires Jamie Primrose to create luminosity and atmosphere in his stunning original artworks. As one of Scotland’s most prominent soughtafter painters, with past sell-out collections to his name, he presents his latest gorgeous solo exhibition of over 50 magical skyscape oil paintings from Friday 5th – Saturday 13th November at The Dundas Street Gallery, which is not to be missed.
Firstly, Primrose encapsulates the dreamlike quality of passing, ephemeral clouds and glorious streams of light reflecting onto the sea and iridescent sands, in a gorgeous suite of glistening East Lothian beaches, evoking blissful childhood memories. From Yellowcraig (see pic above), Seacliff, Longniddry, North Berwick and Tyninghame (see pic to the right), including Bass Rock – these uplifting, sweeping cloudscapes draw the viewer in and delightfully depict the ever-changing drama and play of light above sparkling, tranquil shores. Next, continuing with captivating clouds and water closer to his home in Edinburgh, (but still overlooking East Lothian beyond), the highly collectable artist beautifully showcases ethereal skies and the sculptural landscape of Arthur’s Seat. Offering breathtaking vistas from nearby Blackford Hill and the ancient crag’s own hill-top vantage points, the stillness and serenity of its gleaming lochs – Duddingston, Dunsapie and St. Margaret’s (see pic to the right) are also skilfully highlighted with glimpses of the city below.

Jamie Primrose ‘Last light over St. Margaret’s Loch, Edinburgh’ 80cm x 80cm, Oil on canvas
Probably best-known for his vibrant, colourful sunset city skylines from Calton Hill in an expressionistic palette, the talented painter also pleasingly revisits these motifs, with a striking series looking towards Fife, East Lothian and over the majestic capital’s architectural silhouette. The iconic Edinburgh Castle Esplanade is Primrose’s final muse on high, as he then winds his way from Castlehill down the Royal Mile – with St. Giles Cathedral and nearby Victoria Street, the Grassmarket and Edinburgh University in an atmospheric range of characterful, magical twilight nocturnes – his wintry midnight blue blanket above enveloping the historic streets beneath. A master at expertly capturing spectacular, impressive skies in his work, this recurring theme and skill ensures his investment oils and exclusive limited edition prints evoke a luminous quality, a soothing ambiance and an uplifting mood for the viewer.
