Lockdown 2 Hypnotherapy Update

by Dan Regan | Nov 2, 2020 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Lockdown 2 Hypnotherapy Update:

As you’ll know, England is about to enter a second coronavirus lockdown that will last until Wednesday 2nd December.

During the lockdown (from Thursday 5th November) I will only be able to offer online appointments (via Skype or Zoom) rather than my usual face to face appointments for hypnotherapy in Ely & Newmarket. However, fingers crossed that four weeks will be enough and very soon I’ll be back behind my desk in my office. I’m already taking bookings into December so contact me now to book your appointment.

I don’t think anyone (certainly not small business owners!) want a lockdown but if it saves lives and means the NHS can cope this winter then, rather than argue over something that can’t be changed anyway, we can all be proactive in taking care of ourselves and each other. During the last lockdown there were many wonderful acts of kindness within the community and I hope that spirit continues and grows.

There are many, many things that we can all do to support our physical health and mental health. I wrote about many of these things last time around so do check out those articles. I’ll be adding more help soon too.

During the last lockdown I know many people found my hypnosis downloads a great support for their mental health and well-being, so do check those out if you need help and support.

Kindness

Kindness

A super short blog today about kindness. In reality, it’s more of a plea for us all to be nicer and kinder towards each other.

In recent weeks my wife has been on the end of some pretty distasteful treatment from someone, behaviour that I would say is close to the mark of sex discrimination and harassment. There was no need for it but there you go, sometimes you can only hope that other people engage their minds a bit. It was only the other month that we watched the TV programme, ‘It Was Alright in the 1970s’ and I think some of the attitudes and stuff experienced could have walked right out of the screen and slap bang into 2020! As I’ve said in previous articles, we don’t all have to share the same opinions and agree on everything (and you can do that and still get on fine) but bullying, discrimination and harassing go way beyond what I think is acceptable.

Which brings me back to my plea for us all to be kinder to one another as much as we can. Youu never know what someone else is experiencing, how things are for them, so I think we all want to be nicer, kinder and more understanding, even if we don’t always see eye to eye on every aspect of life.

Can You Trust Your Gut Feelings and Intuition?

by Dan Regan | Oct 14, 2020 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Can You Trust Your Gut Feelings and Intuition?

I’ve often had people tell me that they always trust their gut instinct. And certainly if you look online or on You Tube there are dozens of people, images and articles which claim that you should always trust your gut instinct or intuition.

Many of these articles and so on talk about your gut instinct being your immediate understanding of something, a moment of innate understanding or knowing that you should just act upon or make decisions upon without further thought or investigation. There are many quotes along the lines of always trusting your gut instinct and intuition because it knows what your brain hasn’t yet figured out, or that if you have a certain gut feeling you should always trust it without exception.

But is that right? Can you always trust your gut feeling or intuition and act upon it in confidence that it is always right?

World Mental Health Day – Coronavirus and Mental Health

by Dan Regan | Sep 26, 2020 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

World Mental Health Day – October 2020 – Coronavirus and Mental Health

This year, World Mental Health Day falls on 10th October 2020 and the theme for this year is ‘mental health for all.’

And, of course, mental health help and support should be as available as that which exists for physical health problems. As I’ve written about before, it’s great that there are so many mental health awareness initiatives these days. There should be no stigma around mental health issues and we all need to be aware of our own mental well-being, and that of those around us. If you have a mental health issue you should talk about it if you want to and we can all benefit from help and provide support and empathy to each other.

Yet whilst there is a plethora of mental health awareness campaigns, conversations, advocates and other sources raising awareness, they can only go so far. Most of these people and initiatives can only offer basic (if any) evidence based psychological support to help you overcome issues like anxiety and depression. After that, you are referred on and that’s where the need for mental health for all is really situated. Too many people can only chose between anti-depressants or a waiting list for treatment. Effective mental health services need to be more readily available, accessible and timely.

Of course, many people chose to work with a mental health expert like me to sort their issues, rather than continuing to suffer (and you can learn what many people have said by scrolling through my ‘What People Say‘ pages). Yet particularly in this ‘year of the coronavirus’ more is needed than just awareness and good intentions.

Coronavirus has led to many of you feeling anxious and worried. The uncertainty, restrictions and changes to our normal way of doing things can have a profound impact on your mental health and well-being. I wrote recently about the emergence of a definition for coronaphobia, the fear of contracting covid-19 and the implications of this for your health, livelihood and loved ones. Whether you have a predisposition to worry and anxiety, have a tendency to worry about physical symptoms (health anxiety) or your anxiety is more recent and related to the current times, your anxiety can have a huge impact on how you feel and on your life.

Stop Overthinking It (Where I Get Totally Freaked Out By A Horse!)

by Dan Regan | Sep 9, 2020 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Stop Overthinking It

Do you have a habit of overthinking things? Whether it’s anxiety, stress or worry related, or you struggle to switch off from thinking and thinking, overthinking can be a real pain. It can stop you getting on with things and enjoying things, it can make you anxious and frustrated and it can leave you wide awake at night when you’d rather be relaxing into a deep sleep.

In the last of the videos I recorded down in the New Forest, I decided to talk a bit about overthinking and why you should emulate a horse and just be happy with having loved ones around you, enough to eat and being in a safe place. As you’ll see, unfortunatley the horses (who up to that point and the entire week had not got up to much) decided to show-boat and totally freaked me out! This was totally unexpected (especially as I wasn’t looking) and totally threw me for a bit! But anyway, stop overthinking!

Hypnotherapy in Newmarket Now Back Open!

Hypnotherapy in Newmarket Now Back Open!

Hypnotherapy in Newmarket is back! After the long months of the pandemic lockdown and then sorting out my new office in Ely, I’m delighted to confirm that I am now back offering hypnotherapy sessions from the wonderful White Tara Therapy Centre in Newmarket.

Naturally there are a few Covid-19 secure changes since the start of the year, so please wash your hands (or use hand gel) upon arrival and wear a face mask when you come into the Centre and when leaving. Other than that, it’s all systems go and I’ve already been helping people to deal with issues such as anxiety, increasing confidence and feeling better in themselves.

If you need a reminder about where the Centre is located then do take a look at the details here: Hypnotherapy in Newmarket

Hypnotherapy in Ely – A Brief Tour

Hypnotherapy in Ely – A Brief Tour

Hello! And it’s another post about my new office (sorry!) but moving office (to a new awesome place) is quite a big deal for any business so please indulge me this one last time!

Today I have a brief video for you to show you around my new location a bit (just so you know where to come for the best hypnotherapy in Ely!). If you are coming here for an appointment or want to get idea of what the location is like before doing so, then this video gives you a quick idea. Even better, I manage to display my ‘walking backwards while talking and filming’ skills…without knocking into anything! Multi-tasking at its finest!

I’ve been getting lots and lots of positive feedback from people who have been here for help with things like overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, boosting confidence and self-esteem, and improving performance at work or in sports. It really is a great environment for dealing with problems and challenges, and achieving your goals.

And if you are very lucky when you visit, you’ll get to see the deer wandering through the fields that my windows look out upon.

Have a watch of my video here:

The New Location For Hypnotherapy In Ely

The New Location For Hypnotherapy In Ely

Hello from the new epicentre of successful hypnotherapy in Ely!

I’m just about all moved into my new office at St Thomas Place, CB7 and pretty much just need my new desk to arrive before everything is fully in place (my new desk is delayed arriving due to Covid-19 so right now I’m using my daughters pink desk that has hearts on the pull out drawers!). As anyone who has ever moved office knows there is a ton to sort out and get shifted and thankfully there has only been one ‘almost’ hiccup (when my friend helped me move my bulky furniture in the pouring rain late on a Friday night and before he was due to go on holiday for a week, only for me to discover that I didn’t know the security code to get in!).

I’ve started having my first clients visit and I’m getting their feedback and any comments on making things even better for you here.

Already there is reserved parking, disabled access and a waiting area, all of which are improvements on my previous office. It’s so much quieter than being above a barbers, there are lovely views across the fields (where I’m still waiting to see the deer) and, of course, I have air con to make sure everything is comfortable when you visit (for more location details have a look here: Hypnotherapy in Ely).

Boosting Mental Health in the New Forest

Boosting Mental Health in the New Forest

I’m just back from a week with the family over in the New Forest, a truly beautiful place. The weather was great and I loved spending time with the kids and having some fun together. And I particularly enjoyed getting up early every day to head out into the forest to see nature at its best.

If you’ve never been to the New Forest then one thing pretty special is all the horses (and cows, and donkeys) that roam free around the forest and the surrounding area. It’s pretty common to find a horse standing in the road totally unphased by the cars and traffic that he’s holding up. And in the forest there seems to be wildlife around every corner from more horses to deer, cows and squirrels. I loved it.

Now if you’ve been reading my blogs for a while you’ll know that getting out in nature, as well as being active, can both contribute to and support good mental health. There’s a ton of research supporting this. I also think that time away from emails and normal routines, as well as the benefit of being in the moment as you explore the forest, also play a part in supporting mental health.
