Zootropolis, Self Esteem & Being Judged

by Dan Regan | Mar 21, 2016 | Confidence and Self Esteem

Last weekend I took my children to watch the latest Disney film called ‘Zootropolis’ at the cinema.

If you’ve never heard of it, Zootropolis is based around a city where animals of all shapes and sizes live side by side. From elephants and rhinos to mice and lemmings, the animals live in a city, performing every day job and roles (in a world where humans don’t exist). My kids and us grown ups thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

So what has this to do with self esteem and being judged (or the fear of what other people think)?

Has Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Had Its Day?

by Dan Regan | Mar 17, 2016 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Has Cognitive Behavioural Therapy had its day?

Now there’s a question that is likely to raise a few eyebrows! Because, like pills, those controlling the NHS purse strings love CBT as a catch-all treatment probably as much as they love people being treated with anti-depressants.

And it isn’t hard to see why – CBT offers a fixed, standardised, cheap cost service, where the only downside is that people who are depressed or suffering severe anxiety may have to wait 8-12 weeks to get started.

Yet research last year found that CBT is getting less effective over time – researchers found that CBT for treating depression is roughly half as effective as it used to be.

And combined with the falling effectiveness, results from a survey by the British Psychological Society show that those delivering the services may be in more need of help than those receiving it.

Treating Anxiety with Hypnotherapy

by Dan Regan | Mar 10, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

In this article, I’ll talk about another success treating anxiety with hypnotherapy in Ely.

Heidi came to me for help to overcome anxiety and fear that was placing limits on her life that she wanted to break free from.

This is because anxiety has a way of placing limits on you as you seek to avoid things going wrong, feeling bad or something else unfolding in a worst case way (or you may just stop doing things just in case any of those what ifs happen).

So in this article I’ll be giving you three ways you can start taking control to overcome anxiety and live your life on your terms.

The Illusion of Limited Choice Fuels Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Feb 18, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks, Dan's Blog

Recently I came across the term ‘the illusion of limited choice’. I’d known the concept for some time as with anxiety and worry, as well as more generally in our lives, it’s a thinking ‘trap’ we often unknowingly fall into.

We can become fixed on a limited number of choices, forgetting that there are many, many other choices we could be making.

In fact, I think it was my Dad who first introduced me to the concept when I was buying my first car.

Four Questions To Ask Your Hypnotherapist

by Dan Regan | Jan 30, 2016 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

A professional hypnotherapist can literally help you change your life! They can help you ‘reprogramme your mind’ so that you move from being stuck where you are now to thinking, feeling and behaving like you want to.

That’s a pretty awesome thing!

And if you’ve never experienced the power of hypnosis before (or even if you have) you may feel a bit nervous or anxious about what it may entail.

As I read somewhere recently, ‘not all hypnotists are created equal’ so it makes sense as you look for a hypnotherapist to have some ways to filter all those names to ensure you contact someone with the professionalism and skill to help you succeed. So whether you want to end your anxiety, increase your confidence, eliminate a phobia or something different, be sure to make sure you are going to be in safe, professional hands by asking these four questions.

Is it all or nothing for you?

by Dan Regan | Jan 18, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Recently a client told me that if she didn’t do something perfectly then, in her view, it was completely useless, rubbish and pointless.

It was either 100% or 0%. Black or white. Success or failure.

And the fact is we all want to do our best (usually).

Yet mistakes do happen, things do get missed and life can get in the way.

And having to be perfect all the time is hard work, anxiety producing and can be stifling (after all why start if it may not go perfectly…).

Think yourself past anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jan 18, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Anxiety wants you to take action and do it now! Your anxiety and panic prepare your body to move, to do something.

Fuelled by all those anxious scenarios and thoughts, your body will respond to that threat or danger by increasing your temperature, releasing adrenaline, increasing your heart and breathing rates and so on.

And in those moments or emotion, we are designed to stop thinking effectively. Think about it in evolutionary terms for a moment: if every time a predator was approaching we paused to have a good think about what to do and how to respond then…well, I’m sure we would have made a nice snack.

So how can you get that clear thinking, objective, rational part of your brain back in command? And at the same time calm those emotions?
