Teacher Anxiety & Stress Right Up There

by Dan Regan | Jul 4, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

I often work with teachers (trainee, primary and college) to help them take control over their anxiety and stress levels.

From what they tell me about the workload, assessments, constant changes, long hours and demands from all directions, it isn’t too hard to understand how all those demands and stresses can build up to breaking point.

In fact, a recent report by the University of Manchester’s Business School has gone as far as to name teaching as one of the top three most stressful occupations, with endemic levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

And I think it’s pretty unlikely that the culture of testing, constant change and the demands from policymakers, other staff and parents are likely to disappear anytime soon. As well as how bad stress and anxiety make you feel, that feeling you can’t cope can impact on your home life, sleep, confidence and health.

So what can be done about teacher stress and anxiety?

Can you beat 54 years of smoking?

by Dan Regan | Jul 2, 2015 | Quit Smoking Hypnosis

Recently I helped someone who had smoked heavily for 54 years to easily stop smoking successfully.

And of course I’ve also helped many other people who have smoked for a few years, dozens of years or many decades to quit smoking for good.

In effect, they all went from being a smoker when they walked in the room, to being someone who used to smoke and no longer does when they left their session.

The reason my stop smoking programme works so effectively (as long as you want to quit smoking) is that it addresses all the key aspects of smoking.

Hypnotherapy in Ely Office Launch June 2015

by Dan Regan | Jun 29, 2015 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

A huge thank you to everyone who came to my Ely office official launch on Saturday 27th June, and to all of you who sent me best wishes and messages of support. I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve received from friends and family and former and exisiting clients.

Come and see me soon at 3A Lynn Road, Ely!

Here are a few photos from the launch:

Ending Binge Eating

by Dan Regan | Jun 25, 2015 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Recently I’ve successfully helped a growing number of women to take control over food and overcome their binge eating.

Whilst they may also be seeking help with weight loss, in many cases the bingeing happens even with women who are comfortable with their weight.

Yet all of them who come to see me feel out of control, even desperate, to take control over it. Some tell me that they feel a huge compulsion to binge that they can’t control except by giving in, and although there may be a period when it is better, soon the bingeing starts up again. One client, before we sorted it all, even told me she thought she was a food addict or junkie in the way she binged.

It may be linked to anxiety, stress and low self-esteem, or i tcould just be a habit or behaviour that has taken on a life of its own.

Finding Peace From Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jun 25, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Are you a tightly wound up ball of anxiety? Do you struggle to switch your mind off and get some peace?

If you have anxiety then you will crave a sense of peace and calmness – both physically and mentally. You may feel like your mind never switches off and your anxiety may leave you feeling exhausted.

Anxiety can create its own self supporting loops – you feel anxious and your mind fills with worries, what ifs and worst case scenarios. Thinking of these then makes you feel more anxious, and leads to more of those worries. It can then ripple into your appetite, cutting back or stopping things you used to enjoy, lying awake at night and can impact on friendships, relationships and at work.

And all you really want is a few moments of peace and freedom from all that anxiety.

Are you putting yourself last?

by Dan Regan | Jun 19, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Are you standing at the back of the queue?

I often work with people who have a habit of putting everyone else first and themselves last. And after a while, everyone else starts to put them at the back of the queue as well.

If you do this too, you may find yourself frantically running around feeling anxious, stressed and frustrated.

Is it Anxiety or Depression?

by Dan Regan | Jun 16, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

For many clients, working out which came first, the anxiety or the depression, can see a bit like chicken and egg.

Are you depressed because anxiety rules your life and stops you doing the things you want to do? For example, one recent client I helped used to suffer very low moods in the summer while everyone went on holiday and she felt trapped at home, too worried about having a panic attack to venture too far.

Or is your anxiety part of your depression – a fear of the future, or feeling so bad or living with a sense of doom or lack of self worth. Many people with depression constantly worry and dwell about things in the past and things yet to happen.

But whether you have anxiety or depression (or both) – whatever label you or someone else has given it – the key question is always, how is this thing manifiesting itself now and how is it keeping itself going?

Why Stop Smoking?

by Dan Regan | Jun 12, 2015 | Quit Smoking Hypnosis

Recently I’ve been working with loads of people who want to stop smoking (and who are now non-smokers!).

And I know there are many more out there who could use the help to quit.

To a non-smoker it seems obvious that you should stop smoking – they will tell you about the impact on your health and the cost of smoking, as well as the stink of it on your clothes and in your hair.

Every smoker I work with already knows that every puff is leading them to an early grave and that they really should stop smoking right now. So what keeps you smoking even when you know the consequences?
