Very excited that the Hypnotherapy Experts Book is to be published at the end of November and includes a chapter I wrote about helping people to overcome anxiety and panic attacks.
The book is aimed at my hypnotherapist peers who are looking to grow their business and further their career as a hypnotherapist.
It contains help and advice for therapists on many topics, including my chapter on anxiety and panic attacks.
How do you cope with your anxiety? Whilst many people have a specific coping strategy they use, many others feel lost and helpless when faced with their anxiety, and many others simply try and distract themselves to get some temporary relief (although the anxiety usually keeps bouncing back…).
And with all these anxious thoughts and feelings rampaging through your mind and body it’s important that you have your coping strategies set in place and well rehearsed (because in the midst of an anxiety attack it is virtually impossible to think straight enough to do something new).
So what are some of the most useful ways to cope with your anxiety?
In my last article I talked about driving fear and anxiety, how it arises and how it can impact on you whether you are a learner taking lessons, you are approaching your test or you have your licence yet still feel fearful when driving.
Recently I was invited to speak to the Cambridgeshire Association of Approved Driving Instructors (CAADI) at their October monthly meeting in Cambridge.
At the meeting I shared with them 5 ways to help anxious drivers to successfully abolish driving fear – and in this article I’ll be sharing them with you so you can start implementing them today.
Does your driving fear and anxiety hold you back?
I help a lot of people who have driving fear to abolish their driving anxiety and become more confident and calm drivers – instead of dreading being behind the wheel they learn how to feel calm and in control (and even enjoy) the freedom of driving.
Your fear and anxiety may be around your driving lessons and driving test, or maybe you have a driving licence but there are certain roads you avoid like dual carriageways and motorways. It may be that faster roads make you feel uncomfortable or you over-worry about other road users.
I can still remember my driving test (now over 20 years ago!!) quite clearly. I can remember parts of my final lesson beforehand and then hanging around for the examiner at the test centre. I felt restless and hot, I couldn’t sit still and so paced around the room and I kept feeling like I needed the loo so back and forth I went. However, as soon as the examiner came and we got started it all calmed down and that energy helped me focus and be alert throughout.
I’m delighted that my latest product – Anxiety No More – is now available from the Dan Regan Hypnotherapy Shop.
If you struggle with anxiety right now then this is the help you need!
Packed with valuable information and help, Anxiety No More includes all you need to overcome your anxiety – in just the same way that I have helped hundreds of people overcome their anxiety when they come and work with me.
In this powerful product you get three audios (including a bonus confidence boosting MP3) as well as a forty page anxiety freedom guide.
When you feel anxious or worried it’s easy to start worrying about absolutely everything. Often people with anxiety tell me it’s like their minds have to find something to worry about or they just can’t switch off their anxiety.
And anxious thoughts will always find a direction in which to flow.
Your mind is on high alert for anything to worry about so that you can take action to keep yourself safe. Except often there is no action to take and we lose perspective about what is and isn’t important and what, if anything, you may need to do about it.
And so like a meandering river those thoughts may spread and flow into many areas and many things. And the more that stream of worry flows, the stronger its progress.
Remember you can still get your FREE copy of my rapid relaxation hypnosis MP3 by entering your details on the right hand side.
I’ve had great feedback about it, especially from those who have struggled with anxiety and panic, as well as other issues such as low confidence and sleep issues.
I’ve made this available because I want to help you get that calmness and peace you crave, so please do grab your copy (you can play it online or download it).
It’s been a busy day in the studio recording my upcoming product – Anxiety No More.
All the tracks have now been professionally recorded. The product will include a ten minute introduction explaining how anxiety starts and keeps itself going, a 30 minute anxiety freedom hypnosis and a 20 minute confidence boosting hypnosis track.
I’ve been getting some great feedback from my client reviewers and the latest recordings are now off for the second round of user testing.
Driving anxiety is one of the more common fears that people come to me for help to resolve, whether it’s panic attacks during lessons, anxiety about the driving test or anxiety about driving after they have passed their test.
I remember when I first started lessons – I’d never been in the driving seat before and in control of (what seemed to me) a massive, powerful piece of metal! However that worry soon passed with practice and all went well during and beyond my test.
However, for others lessons can be an anxiety fuelled nightmare. Some clients dread their lessons and I have helped clients who suffered with panic attacks which meant they couldn’t even start the engine.
For others I have helped, they have passed their test and ‘know’ they can drive but they do all they can to avoid it – and the more they avoid it, the more their driving anxiety grows.
I’m very excited to confirm that, in a couple of weeks’ time, I’ll be heading into the recording studio to professionally record the audios for my upcoming product – Anxiety No More.
Following recent user testing, I now have all I need to produce these powerful anxiety busting audios that will help you eliminate your anxiety and start feeling calmer, more confident and in control of your thoughts and feelings.
Combined with a 40 page manual, there will be three MP3 audios – an introduction to anxiety, the anxiety no more hypnosis session and a bonus confidence boosting MP3.
