Anxiety Disorders – How to Deal With Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jun 6, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Anxiety Disorders and how to deal with anxiety:

According to a review led by the University of Cambridge into anxiety disorders, women and people under the age of 35 are at greatest risk of anxiety.

In fact, the review found that women are more than twice as likely as men to experience anxiety disorders.

The review also estimates that four in every one hundred people have anxiety – with more than 60 million people across the EU affected by anxiety disorders every year.

So what does this really tell us? It certainly doesn’t tell us more research is needed (as I’m sure will be suggested) and it certainly does imply, as I’ve suggested before, that relying on the current approach of dishing out anti-depressants and formulaic CBT therapy is unlikely to ever make inroads into the modern day epidemic of anxiety disorders.

And the research is pretty meaningless if you are one of the thousands of people struggling with anxiety. So what can you do to deal with your anxiety effectively?

Sports Hypnosis and Hypnosis For Running

Sports Hypnosis and Hypnosis For Running:

Sports hypnosis can help you maximise your performance and get in the mental zone for peak performance.

After all, it doesnt matter how well you have trained and practiced if, when you need it in competition, your anxiety, low confidence and lack of focus stop you delivering. Or it may be that you need to rediscover your love of the sport and get the motivation, commitment and determination to perform.

And having recently completed my thirteenth marathon, it was clear to me how important this mental aspect is, meaning sports hypnosis can be the difference between success or something less.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder:

If you struggle with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) then you are likely to feel worried, anxious and on edge either constantly or for significant periods of time.

It’s like being stuck in a constant high level of anxiety. And no sooner has one thing you feel excessively anxious about resolved itself or passed, then the anxiety flows like a river into some other thoughts and worries.

And whilst we all worry and feel anxious from time to time, Generalized Anxiety Disorder means that the anxiety is excessive and prolonged over many months. You may feel out of control and exhausted with the ripples of anxiety affecting relationships, friendships and your career as well as impacting on your confidence, wellbeing and sleep.

How To Reduce Anxiety in Ely and Newmarket

How To Reduce Anxiety in Ely and Newmarket

Recently I wrote an article about the relentless persistence of anxiety and stress in the workplace. This followed the publication of workplace figures showing that 9.9 million days were lost in 2015 through stress, anxiety and depression.

This huge figure has remained fairly constant for over a decade, reflecting that current dependence on cognitive behavioural therapy and ever increasing use of anti-depressants is not tackling the issue.

Hot on the heels of this, BBC Cambridgeshire has revealed that the number of students being given help at Cambridge University because of mental health concerns has risen 43% since 2012.

And I am sure that the levels of anxiety, stress and other mental health concerns in other walks of life and areas won’t be too dissimilar from these. No wonder this is referred to as the ‘age of anxiety’.

So how to reduce anxiety is a hot topic that needs addressing and below are some ways to reduce anxiety and start feeling better quickly and effectively.

Help for Anxiety in Newmarket, Suffolk

Help for anxiety in Newmarket, Suffolk:

As the anxiety management specialist in Newmarket, I wanted to share a couple of examples of the fantastic results that some of my clients have achieved.

Because whilst anxiety, worry and fear are all normal human reactions, often they can go into overdrive and start dominating your thoughts. Your mind fills with worst case scenarios and those dreaded what ifs. You start to feel restless, shaky, on edge and can’t think clearly. You worry that something is seriously wrong with you.

Yet anxiety doesn’t have to control your life – using the right methods you can soon take back control over it.

Alcohol Abuse – Take Back Control Over Alcohol

by Dan Regan | Apr 29, 2016 | Addiction Help

Alcohol Abuse – Take Back Control Over Alcohol:

Has alcohol taken over your life? Alcohol abuse can creep up gradually – at first you feel in contol over your alcohol consumption but over time it takes more and more control away from you.

And whilst drinking is a generally accepted activity, you may have found that you need a drink, that you can’t stop once you start, that you regularly drink more than you intended to and that you need more and more for the same effect. It is likely that it has started to cause problems in your life whether that is in relationships, friendships, your career or your health and self esteem.

Depending on your level of alcohol abuse, you may have found that you are no longer in control – it controls your life.

So how can you start to take back control?

Sugar addiction and compulsive eating help:

If you struggle with sugar addiction or compulsive eating disorder then you will know that the urges and cravings can become overwhelming and persistent.

You may try and tell yourself that you will break the pattern of habits and emotions only to find that the same behaviours repeat themselves. It can have massive impacts on your health, your self esteem and your well being.

So how do you eliminate your sugar addiction and compulsive eating?

Why I Became a Hypnotherapist

by Dan Regan | Apr 25, 2016 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Why I became a hypnotherapist:

One of the most common questions I get asked when people come to see me is, ‘how did you become a hypnotherapist?’ or ‘why did you become a hypnotherapist?’

After all, it isn’t one of those careers that comes up when you talk to a careers advisor at school (I think at that time I wanted to run a hotel like some bloke in Neighbours!).

For years I struggled with anxiety, low confidence and low self esteem and, after trying various avenues, it was only hypnotherapy that resolved these issues once and for all.

In the video below I talk a bit more about this, why I became a hypnotherapist and how much I love helping others to end anxiety and confidence issues.
