Compulsive Overeating & Binge Eating Help

by Dan Regan | Apr 2, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Compulsive overeating and binge eating disorder and problems is marked by periods where you will binge uncontrollably on food (without vomiting or purging).

If you battle with binge eating you may comfort eat or engage in secret eating, yet there will be a feeling of huge compulsion to overeat and binge that drives you and that you may be unable to successfully resist when it strikes.

Compulsive overeating is likely to involve what you consider to be bad or forbidden foods, which the binge eating urge drives you to consume, irrespective of whether you’re hungry.

The many people I have succesfully helped tell me about the overwhelming urge to binge eat, the fear of being ‘discovered’ or seen binge eating, and the guilt and self-loathing that follows an episode. I have known people to avoid social eating situations and eating in front of others for fear that they may lose control in front of others.

So how can you take back control and end your compulsive eating and binge eating symptoms?

Selective Eating Disorder – Fear of Food

by Dan Regan | Apr 2, 2016 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Do you struggle with Selective Eating Disorder?

Selective Eating Disorder will mean that you have a very restrictive diet, relying on the same food and unwilling or unable to try new foods. It can mean fear, stress and frustration at meal times and create problems around things others seem to find so easy, like ordering off the menu at a restaurant or going to someone else’s place for food.

And whilst many youngsters go through a period of selective eating, if you are struggling into your teens and beyond then it can have implications for your current and future health as well as creating feelings of anxiety, depression and unhappiness.

So how can you overcome your selective eating disorder and fear of food?

How To Curb Emotional Eating

by Dan Regan | Apr 1, 2016 | Weight Loss

Emotional eating – is it something that you struggle with? If you eat when you aren’t hungry then chances are that there is an element of emotional eating in what you do.

You may wake up in the morning with the best of intentions for the day, only to find that later on you can no longer resist the cravings and urges to eat.

It could be that your emotional eating is a response to stress, boredom, loneliness, unhappiness or anything else that leads you to seek relief in food to change how you feel.

And whilst using an external means to change how we feel is common, whether it is food, alcohol, drugs, shopping, gambling or another means, if your emotional eating is leading to you piling on the weight and feeling unhappy then now is the time to reprogramme your actions and reactions.

Joining The Fight Against Cancer

by Dan Regan | Mar 21, 2016 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

As some of you may know, two and a half years ago I lost my Dad to cancer. Before he died, I ran the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Research as they were so fantastic in their help and support during that difficult time.

I’m hugely grateful to everyone who supported me to raise over £800 for Macmillan.

Now, following a lengthy lay off due to injury, I’m back!!

Being The Hypnotist In Ely and Newmarket

by Dan Regan | Mar 21, 2016 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

As a full time, professional hypnotist, I believe that it is vital to commit to ongoing training and research (that’s probably why I continue to consistently get such good feedback from people: What People Say).

So recently I was delighted to head up to Derby and complete a workshop in Modern Hypnosis with highly acclaimed hypnotist Anthony Jacquin. And what a worthwhile investment of a Sunday it was!

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.
