Hypnotherapy Testimonials – I’m ranting about the relationship of trust

by Dan Regan | Nov 6, 2017 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Hypnotherapy Testimonials – building a relationship of trust?

One thing prospective clients often cite when we first meet is how the testimonials on my website gave them the hope and courage they needed to take the first step towards overcoming their issues. After all, reading feedback and watching real client testimonials of people who used to struggle with, for example, anxiety, low confidence or fears, and who successfully overcame it, is pretty inspiring. I know that it inspires me each and every day in my work because I want all of my clients to experience that joy (whether or not they decide to share their successful results with others).

I’m delighted to now have nearly 200 hypnotherapy testimonials, including forty videos, from clients who were delighted with the results from our sessions together and who wanted to encourage others to seek help too.

And each and every testimonial I publish is from a client who I have worked with and helped myself. I’m pretty proud of that.

I’m also clear on my website that results cannot be guaranteed because both you and I have a role to play in achieving results. Each and every client I work with has their own responsibilities within the process, such as engaging in our sessions and carrying out agreed therapeutic tasks that help them take back control over how they think and feel between our sessions.

So as a professional hypnotherapist I was saddened this week when I happened to come across other therapists who seem to try and pass off the results of others as their own. I mean, is that really how someone thinks you develop an effective working relationship?

Gambling Addiction – what’s the cost?

Gambling Addiction – what’s the cost?

There have been a few stories in the media recently about gambling addiction such as the story of the student who lost £5,000 in 48 hours on fixed bet gambling machines and a Government Review looking at the possibility of reducing the maximum stake for fixed-odds betting terminals.

According to the BBC report, at the moment, people can bet up to £100 every 20 seconds. That’s a staggering amount that can be gambled and lost in no time at all.

And from working with people who struggle with a gambling addiction, there is no doubt that, for some people, it’s easy to get caught up in an ever deepening and desperate spiral of debt and financial loss. My clients will often describe how they go into a sort of trance where they are fixated on the next bet, getting a high from any wins and becoming desperate to recoup any losses. And of course, whilst many use machines of head into the local bookmakers, the easy access to online gambling means that you can bet on practically anything you like twenty four hours a day.

The lure of riches, the buzz of the risk and the high of any wins all play a part. There can also be issues of stress, depression, anxiety and low self esteem that contribute too.

Family Fun in King’s Lynn & The Joy of Getting Away From It All

by Dan Regan | Oct 30, 2017 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

This past weekend I took the family for a weekend away – all the way to King’s Lynn in Norfolk (about 45 minutes away in the car). Soemtimes it can seem like we are all so busy day to day with work and school that having a longer period together as a family only seems to happen at Christmas and on our summer holiday.

So after my early morning boot-camp, off we all went up the road to have a fun packed time in Norfolk.

After checking in at our hotel, the first stop for me and my girls was to head to the museum there. I absolutely love taking my kids to visit new museums and (I think) that they enjoy it too! Somehow or other this was the third half term museum we visited after a trip to Cambridge to the Fitzwilliam museum (which didn’t seem to engage my two that much) and then the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (which houses a pretty impressive three plus storey high totem pole).

We all had a great time there with the girls making bracelets, drums and puppets (yes I succumbed and made a puppet too!). We loved being creative together there. We also popped into the book shop where the children’s section housed a pretty impressive book igloo all set up for Halloween.

The Hypnotic Mindset – Are You In Control Really?

by Dan Regan | Oct 24, 2017 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

The Hypnotic Mindset – Are You Really in Control?

Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with a client about the issue of control. Because of all the myths surrounding hypnosis and hypnotherapy, questions about being in control or fears of being out of control tend to be the ones that pop up most frequently.

For most people, their only familiarity with hypnosis is from stage show type formats where the whole thing is designed around the perception of the hypnotist making people do silly stuff over which they have no control, or from TV/movie portrayals of hypnosis being used to assist a storyline. And I’m sure there are some people out there who think hypnotists still swing the old watch in front of their eyes or do the whole ‘look into my eyes, not around my eyes, look into my eyes’ type thing (just like Kenny in ‘Little Britain’ – “Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don’t look around my eyes, look into my eyes, you’re under” – and if you’ve no idea what I’m talking about watch this You Tube clip from the show).

But who really has the control within hypnosis and hypnotherapy?

This video is worth watching…

by Dan Regan | Sep 28, 2017 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

I love learning of my client successes following our sessions together, whether it’s a musician free of his old anxiety on tour, receiving a postcard from a client who had avoided flying for decades, a client who can now eat pain free because they overcame fear of the dentist, or any other or hundreds of other positive outcomes that have allowed people to get on with what they want to do.

Back in June, my client Beth very kindly did me a video testimonial following our sessions which dealt with her night time anxiety (watch it here).

Now Beth has her own You Tube channel where she talks about many things, including her journey from anxiety to confidence. I think you’ll agree that for someone to go from being unable to order a drink in a cafe or answer the phone at home to confidently putting it out there in the world on video is pretty special indeed.

While all of Beth’s videos are worth watching, I really liked one she did last month all about how you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Where does the time go? Are you doing life your way?

Where does the time go? Are you doing life your way?

If you’ve been on Facebook for any period of time then you’ll be familiar with their ‘on this day’ notifications whereby they tell you what you’ve posted on the same day in previous years.

And while I’m not overly interested in what I posted on that day seven years ago, I do love seeing my photos from yesteryear. A lot of these are running related from my marathon and other races but what I love more than anything is seeing pictures I posted of my daughters. These are full of happy memories and key milestones and I love to show them to my girls and talk about their memories of those family days.

It being September, a whole load of these pictures have been school related milestones, like the manadatory ‘first day back for a new school year stand in front of the doo’r variety. If you have children, or any of your social media friends have them, then you’ve probably been scrolling through a bunch of these recently.

Today, some photos appeared from my eldest daughter’s first day of pre-school. Wowsers! I mean, she’s in year 5 now! Where did the time go!

Which is something I hear a lot from people I speak to – where does the time go?

Department of Awesome & That Lump In The Throat Feeling

by Dan Regan | Aug 24, 2017 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Department of Awesome & That Lump In The Throat Feeling:

I hope that anyone who has ever worked with me knows that I invest a huge amount of time, energy, and resolve into doing all that I can to support them in achieving their goals. Why? Because when someone you help is able to go on and acheive their goals, and often more, it brings massive levels of fulfillment and pleasure to me. And why not, because I work with some wonderful people.

So many of my clients are graduates of the Department of Awesome because they have had the conviction and motivation to take action and seek help to change something in their lives that was causing misery or pain. They took action, committed to engaging in a positive mindset in and out of sessions and, as a result, are now getting on with life.

You may have already read some of their comments and watched their videos on my What People Say page.

And over the last few days I’ve had more reasons to smile, and several times, I’ve had that lump in the thoat kind of feeling.

How To Have a ‘Happy Day!’

by Dan Regan | Aug 23, 2017 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

How To Have a Happy Day!

Now I don’t know about you but one thing I regularly notice on my daily walk to work to my office in Ely, is just how bloody miserable people seem to look! When someone comes in my direction I might move onto the road so they can continue on their way unimpeded, and as I look at them and smile they glare back as if I’ve stolen their last Rolo! (Remember the old advert about ‘do you love someone enough to give them your last rolo’?) Or they stare at the floor and continue on their way as if I wasn’t there and it didn’t happen.

(Or they may be so engrossed in looking down at their phone that maybe to their brain it didn’t happen!)

But heck, these small interactions aren’t going to colour my day, and I don’t know what’s going on in their world that makes them feel so grey and weary.

Of course not everyone does this; many others acknowledge me with a ‘good morning’ or ‘thank you’ along with a wonderful beaming smile and expression of gratitide. I like these people! I really do!

But if you’re one of those people who wakes up glum, looking forward to nothing but a day of glum, going through the same old thoughts, feelings and experiences like you’re on a hamster wheel, then you might want to do something about it, mightn’t you?

Are you living on autopilot?

Are you living on autopilot?

I’m just back from a wonderful family holiday away up on the East Yorkshire coast. I had loads of good times exploring new places, playing on the beach and just spending quality time with my kids (who never cease to challenge and amuse me in roughly equal measure!). I even found time to watch my first ever live game of rugby league (a corker of a game with the home team, Hull KR coming our on top! ‘When the red, red robin goes bob-bob-bobbing-along….’) and I’m still trying to figure out how my 6 and 9 year olds keep comprehensively beating me at the card game ‘Uno’.

One of the things I cherish most about time with my kids on holdiday is how we can all just relax and go with the flow a bit. It means if we want to explore caves then we can (like in the photo below), or we can sit and try and spot the seal popping his head above the water, or it may be spending some time looking for crabs or throwing rocks into the sea.
