Cambridgeshire Business Awards Finalist!

I’m delighted to announce that I am a finalist in the Cambridgeshire Business Awards 2024!

I’ve been shortlisted in the Business Innovation and Business Person of the Year categories. As you may already know, at the Ely Business Awards earlier this year, I brought home the silver award for Business Innovation and the gold award for Business Person of the Year.

It’s a massive honour to take this success to the next level and to be a finalist in business awards that cover the whole of Cambridgeshire. There is certain to be a tough level of competition given the volume, nature and success of organisation in the region. I hope to do Ely proud!

A massive thank you again to all of you for continuing to support me, I really appreciate it.

The awards night isn’t until much later in the year and I’ll keep you posted on how things go on the night.

What Is The Success Rate of Hypnotherapy?

by Dan Regan | Jun 13, 2024 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

What Is The Success Rate of Hypnotherapy?

‘What is the success rate of hypnotherapy?’ is a question that comes up fairly regularly when I am meeting someone for the first time at a free initial consultation. After all, you may have no previous experience of hypnotherapy and you want to be confident that working with me is a good investment to support your mental health.

If you are considering hypnotherapy to help you deal with something like anxiety, fear or low self-esteem, then I’d always suggest coming along and meeting in person as the first step. That way you can be sure that you are comfortable with me and the surroundings before you decide to go ahead with sessions. It provides an opportunity to talk through the challenges you are currently facing and how we can work together to help you overcome them. And, of course, I cover what hypnotherapy is, how it works and I’ll answer any questions you have.

When it comes to the success rate of hypnotherapy, there is not some definitive percentage response, although as you’ll have seen from my reviews, the vast majority of people I work with get a positive result. No therapy is one hundred percent guaranteed to help all the people all the time. Hypnotherapy is not some magical thing that is done to you and so there are a number of factors involved that support achieving a positive outcome. Hypnotherapy is not a passive therapy done to you whilst you do nothing. It is an active therapeutic process that involves some input, commitment, effort and actually doing some stuff that will help you to feel better.

And after all, if you are struggling with an issue in your life, what would you rather do, nothing? Or maybe you’d rather actively take back control over your own thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions?

I’m absolutely delighted to have found out that I’ve been nominated for an Ely Hero Award this year! Thank you so much!

The most amazing professional award is to recognise a professional in the community who really makes a difference and goes above and beyond.

I’m honoured that someone considers me to be in this category and has taken the time and effort to nominate me. There have been some amazing and inspirational previous winners so it is amazing to even be considered for an award.

Storm of Anxiety Hypnosis Download Now Available

by Dan Regan | Jun 3, 2024 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Storm of Anxiety Hypnosis Download Now Available

I’m very pleased to update you that my Storm of Anxiety Hypnosis Download is now available and ready to help you.

I covered this awesome anxiety alleviating process some time ago in one of my articles.

It’s all about how anxiety can come crashing down upon you like some sort of emotional storm. All may be well and you feel relatively ok in yourself. And then things seem to darken and you find yourself overwhelmed and over run with all your anxious thoughts and feelings. It’s very easy to get swept along by those worst case scenarios and catastrophes that swirl through your mind. And, along with this, you feel worse and worse as the uncomfortable and unpleasant anxious feelings sink into every part of your body.

With the emotional anxiety storm upon you, everything seems unsteady and unstable. There is a dark cloud over you that you can struggle to disperse. Faced with anxiety, it can be hard to stay grounded and present enough to let the emotional storm pass.

Anxiety storms can vary in their severity and duration. Sometimes things pass on quickly and at other times it just seems like the storm is never ending and that you will never feel better. This Storm of Anxiety hypnosis download will help you to stay present and grounded when an anxiety storm falls upon you. Through practice and repetition you get better and better at calmly handling whatever unwanted thoughts and feelings may come your way in life and getting through it all with renewed confidence and resilience.

Anxiety Hypnotherapy Reviews

Anxiety Hypnotherapy Reviews

Writing as someone who used to struggle with anxiety issues, I know how limiting, distressing and debilitating it can be. I also know that it is very possible to overcome unnecessary anxiety and how wonderful and freeing that feels. Having been there, it probably explains why I cover anxiety so often in my articles. I probably also (at least partly) explains why I get such good results with anyone who comes to me for help with anxiety. I’ve been there and I get it.

When you struggle with anxiety, it can be a very lonely place. You can get lost in your own uncomfortable feelings and negative thoughts. Your focus is all internal and you can feel disconnected from other people and things. Sometimes it feels like no one around you understands. Or it may be that you try to hide from them what is going on for you at the moment. It can feel like you are on your own and that no one else is struggling in the way that you are right now.

That’s why, in this article today, I’m sharing some recent anxiety hypnotherapy reviews. I want you to know that there is hope and that there is support available that can help you to quickly and effectively soon feel better.

Why You Really Need To Control Your Anger

by Dan Regan | May 28, 2024 | Anger

Why You Really Need To Control Your Anger

Do you struggle to control your anger?

Anger can lurk inside you and be problematic in a number of ways. There can be the seething, internal anger that leads to irritability, frustration and harshness towards others. Or there may be the intense emotional anger that leads to arguments, conflict and even physical outbursts. The occasional annoyance when you feel wronged may not be too problematic. Yet uncontrollable anger can lead to stress, destructive behaviours and abuse.

Your own anger leads to stress, low mood and a deterioration of your own self-esteem. You may do things you regret, cause problems in your own life and be self critical. Being unable to control your anger can rob you of your happiness and well-being.

Your anger may be causing problems in your relationships or at work. And no-one wants to create an atmosphere of fear where those around you are constantly wary of setting off the powder keg of your rage.

Like all strong emotions, anger stops you thinking clearly and reasonably. You struggle to consider other perspectives or to find intelligent solutions. Instead, your anger leads you to act first and think later. And so you verbally, or even physically, lash out. You attack first and then suffer the consequences later.

And research suggests that alongside all of the other negative ramifications of struggling to control your anger, you may also be damaging your physical health too.

I recently wrote all about my exciting news from the SME Ely Business Awards. In case you missed it, I was honoured to win the gold award for Business Person of the Year! I’m still gobsmacked!

Thank you so much to all of you who have sent me messages of congratulations and who have said well done. I’m still catching up with all the emails and positive comments on social media. I was overwhelmed to win the award and I’m so grateful that so many of you think I’m such a worthy winner. Thank you so much!

Ely Business Person of the Year!!!

Ely Business Person of the Year!!!

Wow! What a night and I’m blown away by the results of this year’s Ely Business Awards!

The Ely Business Awards finals celebration that took place last night was an awesome affair. There was great food and entertainment and it’s always great to get to mingle with the cream of businesses from here in Ely. There really is a wealth of talent in the area.

I was delighted to come away with two business awards this year! First up it was the silver award for business innovation, the award that goes to a business that is doing something new, different, smarter or better that makes a positive difference.

And then came perhaps the proudest moment of my fourteen years as a full time hypnotherapist professional. I won the gold award for Ely Business Person of the Year! I could scarcely believe it!

It is such an honour to win this title which is awarded to the business person who shows outstanding initiative, boldness and imagination in their business, as well as sound management practices. Wow! I now go through to the National Business Awards in London at the end of year.

A massive thank you to the dozens and dozens of you who sent me good luck messages beforehand and congratulations messages afterwards (my wife was keeping everyone updated on socials throughout the evening!). I really do appreciate all of your support and positive reviews that help me to help more people to overcome issues such as anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, fears and more. Thanks so much!

Dental Anxiety

by Dan Regan | May 21, 2024 | Phobias and Fears

Dental Anxiety – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Do you struggle with dental anxiety and fear about the dentist?

This morning I headed over to my six monthly check up and hygienist appointment at my dentist. I can remember as a kid hating the dentist. It meant pain and discomfort and misery. Surely no one can forget the sound the drill used to make. I’d be sat there in the waiting room listening to the drill being applied to someone else and getting increasingly tense and worried that it would soon be my turn. I know it’s meant to help with relaxation but sitting there watching the goldfish in the waiting room had no effect. I would sit there listening to the drill while it created a mass of dental anxiety for me.

Of course, things have moved on masses since then. These days treatment is way more advanced and much more comfortable, certainly where I go anyway. Yet, if you struggle with dental anxiety then you may not have been along to the dentist for a long time. You likely still associate dental treatment with those old days and unpleasant experiences when much younger. With your anxiety, your fear will lead to avoidance. Then at some point you have dental issues and avoidance no longer works. You know you need to go to the dentist to get your discomfort looked at and to get it sorted. Yet the very thought of it leaves you anxious, worried and filled with dread.

Avoidance is the main strategy for dealing with anxiety. That may be ignoring the issue for as long as possible. It may mean living with avoidable pain and discomfort in your mouth. It can even mean that when you finally build up the courage to make an appointment you cancel last minute. Or, as some of my former clients have described, you may even get through the anxiety and panic and get to the dentist only to flee from the chair before you are even asked to open your mouth.

We know that regular visits to the dentist are important for your health. Yet dental anxiety leads to side stepping any sort of regular dentist visits and that can lead to all sorts of problems with your mouth, teeth and gums that will require a lot more treatment later.

Mental Health Week Drop In Sessions – Thank You!

Mental Health Week Drop In Sessions – Thank You!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who came along to a mental health week drop in session last week. And a massive thanks to Grovemere Property Services at Lancaster Way for hosting me.

This past week has been Mental Health Awareness Week and so I teamed up with Grovemere to run some drop in sessions for anyone on the business estate who wanted to chat about aspects of mental health. It was great to speak to you all about issues such as anxiety and stress that can have such a limiting effect upon your life.

Issues such as anxiety, stress and depression can create an ongoing pattern of uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Your mind can be overtaken with a lot of noise and your thoughts spiral out of control. You feel worse and worse and want to do less and less. You dread certain situations or find yourself worried about how bad you are going to feel.

It doesn’t matter whether the anxiety, stress and worry you struggle with is work related or from something outside work. Mental health issues have a tendency to seep from one area of your life into another. You worry about what might happen and things going badly for you. You then either avoid situations or feel bad, low and uncomfortable as you force your way through them. Afterwards, you dwell, focus upon the negative and then turn your attention to the next perceived challenge. It’s all consuming, limiting and exhausting.

Your mental health and sense of well-being can impact upon your performance and focus at work, as well as upon all the other aspects of your life.

That’s why it was such a joy to meet so many of you, answer your mental health questions and, where possible, provide some constructive and practical steps you can take towards moving forwards.
