How To Deal With Anxiety – Hypnotherapy Review

How To Deal With Anxiety – Hypnotherapy Review

When you struggle with anxiety, it can make even the simplest of tasks turn into a battle. Things other people seem to just do can become anxiety-fulled struggles to avoid or endure – things like talking to others, answering the phone or open the door.

Recently I read an article where a therapist described how anxiety is your friend and should be welcomed. And certainly where anxiety is at a reasonable or appropriate level to what is going on then it can be helpful – it can help us avoid threats and harm and give us a clear ‘warning signal’ that we might need to review our plans or what we are doing.

Yet when someone has an anxiety disorder, the last thing they consider their anxiety to be is helpful. When anxiety levels are too high, everything can seem like a threat and all those thoughts lead to more anxiety which leads to even more thoughts. Once we take away the emotion, the thoughts are no different to hundreds of other random thoughts that pop in and out of heads all day long, yet which don’t stop us going about our day.

And having been there with anxiety myself, I know what a relief it is to reset anxiety, feel back in control and start enjoing life again.

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.

Life Changing Hypnotherapy – Gaining Self Confidence

Life Changing Hypnotherapy – Gaining Self Confidence

Do you ever struggle to interact with other people? I remember how, when I struggled with low self confidence and social anxiety, even the most straightforward of interactions would be an anxiety fuelled process full of potential minefields.

There were times when even standing in a queue in a corner shop would cause my anxiety levels to rise and I would be frantically rehearsing what I would say to the cashier over and over in my mind so I wouldn’t mess it up and make an idiot of myself. And yes I did all those other things that socially anxious people do like avoiding people in the street, worrying about what other people thought about me, and spending waaaaayyyy too long thinking about what I was going to say rather than actually being present in the moment.

And not only is all that worry mentally and physically draining, it also means missing out on doing things you want to do and having to endure rather than enjoy being around others.

So it’s always a real delight to me when someone comes to me for help with self confidence and social anxiety when I can help them find a way to make the changes that mean they can happily achieve the things that they want to.

Recently I worked with a lovely guy called Tom and you can read what he had to say after our sessions below.

The Happiness Journal – Feel Better in 5 Minutes a Day

by Dan Regan | May 31, 2017 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

The Happiness Journal

Over the last eight years and through thousands of hypnotherapy sessions, one of the most consistently positive things that I encourage people to do is to start to focus on what is going right in their lives.

When we feel anxious, worried or generally a bit rubbish, a natural trait we share is to become more and more engaged with thoughts about all the people, things, situations and circumstances that aren’t how we want them to be.

For example, an anxious person can become completely engrossed in thoughts of worst case scenarios or about things going wrong. Someone who lacks confidence may spend their time thinking about what if they mess up or people think they are weird or an idiot or some other negative judgement about them.

And the same can be true for someone trying to lose weight who criticises themselves after snacking, or a stressed person who becomes overwhelmed at thoughts of not being able to cope. No matter what the issue, it’s easy to become lost in a cloud of unwanted and unhelpful thoughts and emotions and to lose sight of other things.

Which is where the happiness journal comes in.

How To Get Rid Of Anxiety – Another Success Story

How To Get Rid Of Anxiety – Another Success Story!

As a former sufferer of anxiety myself, there is nothing I love more than helping someone discover how to get rid of anxiety.

After all, who wants to put up with all those unwanted thoughts and feelings dominating their life day in and day out.

I can remember times feeling sick with anxiety, pacing around the house, my mind filled with all sorts of worst case scenarios and desperately wishing things were different. And of course, now I know that it doesn’t have to be like that for anyone.

So I’m really pleased to bring you another inspiring testimonial video from someone else who has found freedom from anxiety. Because we couldn’t find a way to match our schedules, this testimonial was recorded seven months after we finished our sessions together. Check it out by clicking on the image below.

Business Coaching Review – Help To Achieve Business Goals

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

Business Coaching Testimonial – Help To Achieve Business Goals

One way in which I often get asked to help people is as a business coach. Whether the person I work with is a senior executive, a team manager, an employee or self-employed, there is massive potential to help them increase their effectiveness and results within their work.

I love being able to draw upon both my coaching and personal development knowledge, as well as my own experiences of being self employed and within previous office and management roles.

Sometimes it may be helping someone to gain confidence for public speaking and presentations, or it may be to help them deal with particular challenges or relationships at work that are taking up too much head space.

And many times it will be help to overcome anxiety or gain focus and persistence towards getting things done and creating momentum towards personal and business goals.

Recently a client of mine very kindly recorded a short video in which he describes how our business coaching sessions have really benefited him and his business.

Mindfulness For Anxiety, Stress and Worry

by Dan Regan | Apr 19, 2017 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Mindfulness for Anxiety, Stress and Worry:

With all the media stories, articles and books about mindfulness now available, it’s probably true that you have heard about mindfulness and you may even have dabbled with it yourself.

As with hypnosis, there is a growing body of research that suggests that for many people, mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, stress and many other issues. And as with the research showng that combining congnitive behavioural therapy with hypnosis substantially enhances treatment outcomes, there is a huge benefit to combining elements of mindfulness with hypnosis to overcome issues and feel better.

Many people that I talk to about mindfulness tell me that they have found it frustrating and difficult to work with or achieve the results they are seeking. That frustration can then lead to never quite getting around to it with any sort of motivation or dedication and ultimately deciding it isn’t for them.

So here I’ve got some simple techniques that you can start using quickly and effectively in your daily life so that you can benefit from mindfulness for anxiety, stress and worry.

Stress Management Help – Stress Awareness Month

by Dan Regan | Apr 13, 2017 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Stress Management Help – Stress Awareness Month:

Whilst stress can affect you at any time, April is Stress Awareness Month and so a good time to take action to relieve your stress levels from this point onwards.

I work with many people who come to me for help because they are struggling with stress and anxiety in their lives.

That stress may be from their workload, from colleagues at work or other career issues. It may arise from their family, friends and relationships. Or it may come from exam stress, health worries or, in fact, any other part of your life where you no longer feel in control or able to cope effectively.

I was delighted to be published once again in the Cambridge News, giving my advice on how to manage stress.

So whether you are looking for stress management help to proactively stay resiliant and handle pressures, or whether you feel that stress is having a detrimental impact on you, these steps will show you the way forward.
