Coronavirus Anxiety – Are You Suffering From Coronaphobia?

Coronavirus Anxiety – Are You Suffering From Coronaphobia?

As I write this article, new restrictions have just come into force limiting social interactions and the number of new cases of coronavirus that are being reported seems to be rising back up again here in the UK. There is a lot of anxiety and fear around the prospect of a second wave and the many impacts that may follow from this for all of us.

As well as fears around contracting the virus and the potential impacts for your health and for those around you, the uncertainty and ongoing nature of coronavirus can feed your anxiety and fear and may all add up to mean that you struggle with a new emerging phobia specific to Covid-19, called coronaphobia.

The fear and anxiety around coronavirus can relate not only to contracting Covid-19 and the health impacts (worries about falling ill, infecting others and worries around death and dying), but also extends to worry around finances, employment, education and just about every facet of our normal routines and lives. There can psychological, physiological, social and financial consequences

With the many diverse and uncertain impacts of the pandemic and coronavirus, it’s no wonder that it evokes high levels of anxiety, stress and worry that can impact on your mental health and general sense of well-being.

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!

Time In Nature For Your Mental Health

by Dan Regan | Sep 9, 2020 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Time In Nature For Your Mental Health:

There’s no doubt that getting away from things and spending some time in nature has a positive impact on your mental health, and can help you to reduce your stress and anxiety levels. Like me, you may know this already from personal experience, yet the science and evidence also exists to back it up.

The research shows that just ten to twenty minutes in nature has significant and positive impacts on your mental health and well-being and that just doing these a few times a week is enough for you to benefit.

As you’ll know if you read my blogs, I like to combine the benefits of being outdoors in a nature environment with the (also well evidenced and researched) benefits of running (or walking/jogging). I love training runs that go through woodland or that involve getting away from the built up areas and just being around the sights and sounds of nature. It’s also why I enjoy my walk to my new office and looking out of the windows across the fields watching the birds and the deer doing their thing.

While on my recent rip to the New Forest I spent every early morning walking and jogging around the forest and enjoying being around the horses and other wildlife in the solitude and silence. I was fortunte enough to watch a fascinating ‘stand off’ between two groups of horses at a stream, where in complete silence they just seemed to stare at each other for minute after minute until the deadlock ended (there’s a little bit from that at the end of the video below so keep watching to see the horses).

In this video, I talk about some of the benefits of time in nature for improving your mental health and well-being, and for reducing stress and anxiety:

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.

Worrying What Other People Think – Thoughts From The New Forest

by Dan Regan | Sep 8, 2020 | Confidence and Self Esteem

Worrying What Other People Think – Thoughts From The New Forest

A few weeks ago I was on holiday down in the New Forest with my family and recorded a video whilst out exploring all about worrying what other people think.

This is something that comes up a lot when I work with people on issues around anxiety, low confidence and low self-esteem. It might mean worrying so much about being judged that you don’t do something you’d like to be doing, or don’t contribute and say what you want to. You might worry when you are actually around those people and find yourself second guessing yourself inside of your head or trying to ‘get things right’ before you say or do anything. And you may well dwell on things afterwards and either judge yourself harshly for how you feel you did, or else worry that others are thinking badly of you in some way.

I know I used to do all of these things and more when I struggled with anxiety and low self-esteem. In fact, I almost thought there was something seriously wrong with me because of how I was around other people and for holding back and doubting myself when I should have just got on with it.

And as it’s something that has come up a lot in sessions recently, here’s my short video where I share some thoughts about worrying what other people think about you:

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.
