Merry Christmas from Dan Regan Hypnotherapy

At this busy time of the year, I just wanted to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

It’s been a very busy and successful year here and I’m looking forward to having some time to relax and have fun with the family over the festive period (along with getting out for lots of running and having a bit of time to practice playing the guitar!). I’m already getting booked up and busy for the New Year. And I’m already excited for when I’ll be coming back refreshed and recharged and ready to help many, many more of you to successfully deal with issues such as anxiety, overthinking, weight loss, fears and much, much more.

Thanks so much to everyone who has worked with me this year, and a special thanks for all of the very kind positive reviews that you’ve left about your sessions and about my hypnosis downloads (new titles coming early next year!).

Evening Positive Meditation – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Evening Positive Meditation – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

As humans we have a natural tendency to focus upon the negative and the things that are more difficult and challenging right now in our lives. Sometimes the good stuff in your life can be swamped and cast aside by these automatic negative habitual thinking patterns.

Of course, this made good sense in evolutionary terms. At one time it was a good idea to be alert for threats that could harm or kill you. Those threats used to be things external to us, whereas these days a lot of the negative stuff in our heads comes from perceived threats and from our imagination running wild with potential catastrophes and worst case scenarios.

There will always be good things going on in your life at some level each day and you can have numerous moments of positivity and happiness, or of feeling uplifted in some way. Yet whilst these are good as they happen, they don’t require any fixing, action or solving. And so these moments pass by and your natural negative tendency puts these good things mentally to one side and then brings back all the things that aren’t quite how you want them to be or that are challenges for you. Your mind whirrs away with the negative thoughts, feelings and emotions that come with the real or perceived problems and challenges occurring in your life.

And so if you want to boost your levels of positivity, well-being, gratitude and happiness in your life then you need to not only be aware of this inbuilt negative bias, you need to take action to deliberately counter it and to nurture more encouraging, supporting, balanced and uplifting thoughts and feelings.

Sleep, Alcohol and Caffeine – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Sleep, Alcohol and Caffeine – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Interrupted and disturbed sleep can have a huge impact upon your well-being and ability to function in the daytime. A few poor nights sleep can grow into an ongoing pattern of struggling to get, or stay, asleep and then feeling tired, foggy and anxious during the day. It can detrimentally impact upon both your physical and mental health.

It may be that your anxiety has led to poor sleep as you overthink and worry at night and struggle to switch off. Or it may be that you have been battling with your sleep and that has led to feeling exhausted, stressed and anxious. You may now find yourself feeling anxious during the evening as bedtime approaches and fearful of not getting enough sleep.

No matter what you are currently struggling with, checking in on how you sleep is always important because of how it can exacerbate unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This can include your sleep quality and quantity and your habits and routines about switching off and unwinding before you go to bed.

You may have tried all sorts of things to try and get enough sleep, and if the usual sleep hygiene things aren’t cutting it then you can find yourself feeling pretty low and pretty desperate.

Many people turn to alcohol and having a drink or two in the evening to try and help them to mentally calm down and physically relax enough for sleep. And if your sleep is poor, you may also be relying on caffeine to keep you functioning and productive through the day.

The Importance of Coping Skills – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

The Importance of Coping Skills – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

When someone comes to see me for help with something like anxiety, stress, panic attacks, overthinking or something else, one of the things I want to know is how they currently attempt to handle, deal and cope with their unwanted thoughts and feelings. I want to know what strategies they have put in place, deliberately or without realising, that may be helping or hindering them feeling better.

Often clients have been to see other therapists along the way, whether for similar issues or something different. I will always ask about what strategies, skills and techniques they were given to do outside of their sessions by that therapist. I want to explore what they may have tried before and what has, or hasn’t, worked well for them. There’s little benefit in me suggesting they do more of the same if they haven’t found that it helped at all. Yet along with building upon what works, sometimes adjustments and slight changes in other strategies can make them more effective and easier to apply to interrupt things like anxious thoughts.

However, more often than not their former therapist didn’t give them any techniques for outside the sessions to help them in managing their own thoughts and feelings. To be honest, this astounds me because the importance of having effective, workable coping strategies in your life cannot be underestimated.

Hypnotherapy in Ely Video Testimonial – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I absolutely love it when someone who has been struggling with issues for years turns around after their hypnotherapy sessions and tells me that they almost can’t believe the positive results they have achieved.

You can struggle on and on with an issue for such a long time, trying all sorts of things to help along the way, yet starting to feel like nothing can ever work for you. It can start to seem like the problems that weigh you down are going to have to be carried through life forever more. Very often people tell me that hypnotherapy is their last chance to finally feel better. And in the case of my clients at least, very often they find that hypnotherapy is the solution that has eluded them for so long.

It’s my passion and purpose to help you to feel better and to overcome the issues and challenges that hold you back and stop you feeling at your best. I’m massively grateful to the three hundred and fifty plus people who have taken the time to share their positive results. By sharing positive results I hope more people find the courage to seek help and to join the growing list of people who now feel happier, more confident and more in control of their own thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions.

In this article I’m sharing my most recent hypnotherapy in Ely video testimonial. And let me assure you, even before you watch it, that it is both awesome and inspiring so do read on and take a look.

Updated Website Launched – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Updated Website Launched – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I’m happy to let you know that my new website is now live (if you are reading this then you are looking at it!).

You may notice that it looks suspiciously like the previous website (which I’ve always received a lot of positive feedback about), yet the technology has been updated to make the new site more robust (the old one had a habit of breaking every so often as it got older). I’m still not sure whether that means my updated website has launched or that I have a new website!

All of the previous information, reviews and articles are all here, and I’ll be continuing to add more and more hypnotherapy, anxiety and mental health articles

SME Cambridgeshire Business Awards 2023 Finalist! Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I’m delighted to share the positive news that I’ve been shortlisted in the Cambridgeshire Business Awards 2023!

You may already know about my several previous successes in the SME Ely Business Awards for Service Excellence. However, this is the first time I’ve entered the Cambridgeshire business awards so I’m thrilled to have made the final! Cambridgeshire is a much bigger area than Ely and has hundreds of fantastic businesses operating within it so it’s a privilege to even make the category shortlist.

I’m once again appearing in the Service Excellence category (sponsored by Cambridge law firm, Barr Ellison). The Service Excellence category recognises a business that delivers outstanding assistance and advice to those who use the businesses products or services. Thanks so much again to all of you for your ongoing support and for continuing to share your positive hypnotherapy reviews (now well over 300 of them!) and for recommending me to others who are seeking help and support with issues like anxiety, low confidence and overcoming phobias.

It’s a tough shortlist for the finals so please do keep your fingers crossed for me!

Thanks so much again to all of you for your ongoing support and for continuing to share your positive hypnotherapy reviews and to recommend me to others who are seeking help and support with issues like anxiety.

I’ve already covered all about the award and how grateful I am for my hat-trick of winning an award three years in a row in previous articles. And recently the Ely Standard covered my awards success (thank you Ely Standard!) and I thought you might like to take a look at their news article today…

Hypnotherapy Reviews: Can You Trust Them?

Hypnotherapy Reviews: Can You Trust Them: Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Now I don’t know about you, but these days when I’m deciding to buy something online, or when I’m researching a local business or service I need, then I always take a bit of time to check out the reviews and to see what other people say about their experience or about the thing I’m thinking of getting.

And I’m not just checking the ‘top’ reviews or those deemed ‘most favourable’ (by some online algorithm), I want to scan through what people have said more generally, the pros and cons they list, the proportion of people rating things at different levels and the most recent reviews in case something has changed. Quality and service can change over time so it’s useful to spend a few minutes checking out the reviews to gain a level of assurance before buying that thing or contacting someone about a service.

Whether I’m buying a book or some more guitar plectrums (because they tend to walk off on their own!), or I want to switch bank or find a plumber, I’m either going with a recommendation from someone I trust or conscientiously checking out their reviews. These days, reviews really do matter. I know this with my own hypnotherapy reviews because people want a level of confidence before contacting me about their mental health, or they come because a family member or friend has recommended me.

Yet the upside of being able to quickly check out what other people have said in online reviews sadly comes with the downside that, because reviews really do matter, it can be a breeding ground for those who seek to inflate claims, misrepresent their success and play the system. For some, there can be an unbearable urge to cut corners to boost their profile rather than to do the work and let the good reviews grow organically.

There have been several articles in the news recently about fake reviews and plans about future laws to make them illegal. Yet, right now, if you were to do a quick search online, you could quickly find dozens of companies who are only too happy to sell business reviews on Google, Facebook or anywhere else online that hosts reviews. And we aren’t talking about a service that contacts actual customers to encourage reviews (like those emails you get a few days after you buy anything online asking you to review it). They are openly selling made up reviews from people who have never used the services of the business, either using deliberately created accounts or sometimes using the same reviewers (so them seem legitimate at first glance) to fabricate some words and leave some stars.

Over the years I’ve had cause to speak to a lot of other hypnotherapists and to look at maybe hundreds of online hypnotherapy websites and profiles and until recently, I’d never knowingly come across the use of fabricated reviews or fake reviews in the field of hypnotherapy. Yet more recently, a bit of research has shown that certainly and sadly there seems to now be this more shady element within the world of hypnotherapy reviews.

Online Hypnotherapy – Dan Regan Hypnotherapy Ely and Newmarket

Online Hypnotherapy – Dan Regan Hypnotherapy Ely and Newmarket

Since the pandemic I think we’ve all got a lot more used to interacting online for a much wider range of purposes than we ever used to. Working from home, lockdowns, home schooling and so on accelerated our willingness to communicate over things like Zoom and Teams.

That said, even before the that I’d helped a lot of people across the world using Zoom and Skype. I often get enquiries from people who live abroad or too far away from Ely and Newmarket to attend in person, yet who still want to engage in hypnotherapy sessions with me for issues such as anxiety, worry and overcoming phobias. During the pandemic all of my work had to switch to online hypnotherapy due to restrictions, and even hypnotherapy sessions with people who were local to Ely and Newmarket continued online. Working in this manner has only continued where someone lives several hours away around the UK, or abroad, or where someone may struggle to travel or need to avoid being around others for various reasons (e.g. they are immuno-compromised or need to avoid any possible infection for medical reasons).

In my experience, online hypnotherapy sessions can work smoothly and successfully. Yet, when someone does contact me about working over Zoom, that question of whether online sessions are as effective as in person sessions, usually looms large in their minds.
