Today is Emotional Health Day and a good day to consider what you can do to improve your emotional intelligence and your emotional health, as well that of those who are close to you.

In my work as a volunteer counsellor I observe how the difficulties and challenges of modern life leave many people struggling with emotional issues so I wonder if you could pause for a moment and check in with yourself and your emotional state. Perhaps you could ask yourself, “What does emotional health mean to me?”

✅ What calms you and helps you to feel okay?
✅ Who are the people around you whose company uplifts you?
✅ How can you nurture your personal relationships?
✅ Is there anything in your life that you need to release for the sake of your emotional wellbeing?
✅ How can you engage in self-care because this is essential for emotional health?
I hope you find these questions helpful and food for thought…

When I ask my client, “What’s been good this week?”, and the answer is overwhelmingly positive! Working with me as your hypnotherapist, there may be tears but there can be smiles and laughter too! I will listen to you intently and empathically to learn about your problems and how they are affecting you. Yet, during therapy you will learn how to take control of your thoughts and feelings and there can be some magical, or as we solution focused hypnotherapists call them, “sparkling moments.” ✨

These are moments of joy, of insight and self-realisation that can be immensely empowering and truly inspirational for me to witness. Smiles, laughter and a sense of humour go a long way toward healing. 💜

Yesterday was Random Acts of Kindness Day but we can kind on any day, can't we? Kindness is a wonderful thing because not only does the recipient benefit, but the giver too. When we show kindness to others it lifts our mood and makes us feel better within ourselves. Our brain is flooded with lots of feel-good neurotransmitters, because as human beings our brains are designed to ensure we look after each other. Isn’t that amazing!

When we are kind toward others it’s contagious. It creates a warm feeling that spreads outwards towards those around us. Let’s acknowledge the small everyday random acts of kindness that mean so much and let’s start by being kind towards ourselves. 🩷🌸

Are you affected by a fear or a phobia? Phobias are far more common than many people realise and often we try to hide these from others because we may feel self-conscious, embarrassed, awkward, or even ashamed of our fears. I want you to know that you are not alone. It is estimated that as many as ten million people in the UK have a phobia.

Commonly, most simple phobias begin during childhood between the ages of four and eight, although a phobia can develop at any age. Unfortunately, some phobias can have a severe impact upon the way in which a person leads their life, preventing them from doing routine, everyday activities.

Over the past eleven years I have used hypnosis to help many people of all ages face their fears and overcome a range of specific phobias including a fear of spiders (arachnophobia), a fear of driving, a fear of flying (aerophobia), a fear of going to an unfamiliar place (agoraphobia) and a fear of being in an enclosed space (claustrophobia).

If you would like to find out more about how I could help you overcome a fear or phobia and regain a feeling of being in control, then just get in touch to arrange a free, no obligation chat over the phone: Send a DM, voice message or text: 07856 201869, or email: tracydanielstherapies@gmail.com
Online and in person sessions available.

This is Children’s Mental Health Week. Sadly, most mental health problems begin in childhood and adolescence. Given the lack of available resources and community support, as many as 70% do not get adequate help at a sufficiently early age. Here are a few facts:

🔹According to research conducted by NHS England 20.3% of eight to 16-year-olds had a probable mental disorder in 2023.
🔹23.3% of 17 to 19-year-olds had a probable mental disorder as did 21.7% of 20 to 25-year-olds
🔹The rate of mental health disorders amongst young people has increased since 2017.
🔹Eating disorders have increased amongst young women and young men aged 17 to 19-years-old.

Also, other figures indicate that:

🔹1 in 12 young people will self-harm at some point.
🔹5-19-year-olds suffer from anxiety or depression.
🔹11-16 is the age range of boys most likely to suffer from poor mental health.
🔹Anorexia in young children (aged 8 -12 years) is increasing.
🔹Anxiety is a common problem amongst young children and it is more common in girls than in boys.
🔹Clinical depression may affect every 5 out of 100 teenagers.
🔹50 % of adults report their mental ill-health issues started at age 14.

We need to take children’s mental health seriously in this country. It is an area of health care that is woefully under-resourced and something that I feel very strongly about.

In my role as a solution focused hypnotherapist and mindfulness teacher, and as retired FE (SEN) lecturer, I work with children and young people aged 8 years and over, including people with learning difficulties and those who are neurodivergent. I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate and I am professionally qualified and insured to work with children and young people. Get in touch if you would like to find out more about how I may be able to help your child or young person:

Today is “Time to Talk Day.” This day is designated to raising awareness about mental health by starting conversations about the topic and ending the stigma associated with mental illness.

We all have mental health just as we all have physical health, yet so many of us find it difficult to talk openly about our mental health struggles. Sadly, some people may feel ashamed to admit that they are experiencing difficulties with their mental health, they may feel embarrassed to talk about the subject, they may feel that it is a sign of weakness (this is especially common amongst men) or they may feel exposed and emotionally vulnerable talking about their feelings.

Nobody should be expected to talk about anything if they don’t want to and talking about feelings can be incredibly difficult for some people. Nevertheless, talking to the right person can begin the process toward healing. The more we talk to one another about our mental health the more others can do the same and together we can breakdown the stigma. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was no stigma associated with admitting to having a mental health diagnosis? 💚

Anxiety and anxiety related problems can be utterly debilitating. When severe anxiety problems had devastating effects upon a close family member twelve years ago that was when I decided to train to be a clinical hypnotherapist and mindfulness teacher. The hypnotherapy was something that I began doing to help my relative and mindfulness is something I do to help myself. To cut a long story short, it has been life changing. It is a long and intense story and something that a journalist has encouraged me to write about, but my privacy and that of my family is important to me. 💚

Anyway, here I am twelve years on with hundreds of client hours behind me and hopefully many more to come as I am advancing my skills and knowledge further to become a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist.

Although I cover all aspects of hypnotherapy, I specialise in supporting women and young people (12 years+) with anxiety and anxiety related problems as well as low mood, low self-esteem and lack of confidence. I am based in Broadstone where I provide a bespoke service for my lovely clients, either in person or online. To find out more about anxiety and how I may help you read my article below: https://www.tracydanielstherapies.co.uk/hypnotherapy-for-anxiety.html
