Steve initially came to see me for a free consultation to hear more about how hypnotherapy could help him. You see, Steve suffered with problems including paranoia, anxiety, feeling self conscious, low self esteem and low confidence.
These thoughts and feelings were affecting every part of his life – he would worry about what people thought about him and anything he said or did. This had grown so bad that
Imagine being able to finally stop smoking. How good would that feel? What would your friends and family say about your new levels of health and vitality?
If you are a smoker then it’s probably obvious, if you think about it, how much better your life could be if you found a way to stop smoking that worked.
One client who came to see me recently for hypnotherapy had struggled to find a
The build up to your wedding day should be a time of excitement and fun and happiness. Shouldn’t it?
When Elizabeth came to see me she was feeling low, anxious and stressed about the whole wedding thing. She was getting an earful from ‘helpful’ relatives on how she should do things, she had so much to organise and she just felt so much stress with the whole thing. Everything seemed a far cry from the happy occasion she had been hoping for.
Yet after only a couple of sessions using an advanced mix of hypnosis, NLP and Time Line Therapy, all the wedding stress, worry, and anxiety had evaporated.
What would it be like to simply let go of all that public speaking anxiety you’ve been carrying with you for all those years through all those work and social situations? Imagine what you would say to yourself if you knew you had all the confidence and self esteem you could need to breeze through any public speaking situation in a calm and controlled way.
When Ella came to see me recently she was anxious (some might say petrified!) about
According to some estimates 30-50% of the population suffer from insomnia – that’s a lot of people lying awake at night! And that means a lot of tired, irritable, miserable people during the day.
There are some things you can easily do which may help you get a better night’s sleep such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol late at night, keeping work out of the bedroom and making sure the lights and temperature of the room are right.
They also say you should never go to bed with your worries – for some people that’s easier said than done.
This week is OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) awareness week and a perfect opportunity for anyone affected to take action to end their OCD for good.
OCD is the label given to a condition in which people experience repetitive thought and/or behaviours. I’ve worked with people who repetitively wash their hands, check locks, check household appliances are switched off, check facebook/e-mails etc or who are obsessed with fears about germs and contamination.
Whatever the exact compulsion, the person will feel forced to carry it out over and over and may become anxious or distressed if unable to.
Everyone experiences a degree of stress in their everyday life – whether it’s stress at home, at work or with our health, finances, relationships or something different. There’s no getting away from it – we all have lots to get done and never enough time to do it all.
Friday, February 4th 2011 is National Stress Down Day, organised by the Samaritans and is a timely reminder that we all need to actively take steps to keep a healthy sense of balance and control.
A little stress can be
Overcome Driving Fear – Hypnotherapy in Ely & Newmarket – how hypnotherapy helped Steve to get end his motorway driving fear:
Having been involved in a serious car accident several years earlier, Steve found it impossible to go back on the motorway. Just the thought of a motorway journey would make him feel tense, sweat and shake as he pictured all those horrific sights and sounds from the accident. It was like the other vehicle was still in front of his face as he hurtled towards impact.
Steve got around his driving phobia by travelling everywhere on back roads and avoiding motorways at all costs – no matter how inconvenient or time consuming that made the journey. To him it seemed the only way he could drive anywhere.
Goal Set and Goal Get – Hypnotherapy in Ely & Newmarket:
Have you ever set a goal and missed, and then set it again and missed again and then set it again……? How tough is it to always fall just short and have to tell yourself maybe next time?
I once set a goal twelve times over four years before I finally achieved it. My target was specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timed but there was something missing that stopped me succeeding.
My personal goal was to run under 40 minutes for a 10k race. Tough yet achievable. All I really needed to do was run about 5 seconds a mile quicker – that didn’t seem like too much to ask. Yet try as I might I couldn’t ever quite deliver on race day. On one occasion I missed by goal by one second – one second too many in 2,401 seconds of running.
Hypnotically Speaking – Hypnosis in Ely & Newmarket:
When I talk to people about hypnotherapy, one of the most common concerns they have is about a loss of control. They imagine that, for whatever reason, I would want them to enjoy a deep state of hypnosis so they can cluck like a chicken or sing like Elvis.
These misapprehensions seem to generally come from having seen or heard about stage shows where the hypnotist seemingly makes a member of the audience do silly things. Stage shows are just that – shows – those who volunteer would probably do the silly acts anyway for an audience and there are selection processes before the start as well as the social pressure to do just as the hypnotist suggests or risk ruining the entire night for everyone.
My clients tell me they love the feeling of relaxation they get from trance and are surprised to find how aware they are throughout the session.
