Can Anxiety Be Cured?

I see many people with high levels of anxiety every week in my clinic. When I ask them what they want from hypnotherapy, a very common answer is, “I want to feel normal.” They don’t ask to be cured of anxiety … they just want to be normal. What Is Anxiety For? For the majority of mentally healthy people, anxiety occurs in their life occasionally....

The Masking Dilemma

Do you hide your anxiety from your colleagues? Your friends? Even your family? Do you put on a brave face, force a smile, and pretend to laugh at their jokes. You might even do this when you are desperate to tell someone how you feel and what is going on inside. This is called “masking”. You may do it consciously or quite unconsciously, hiding your true feelings just to conform to social norms....

“It Happens” – How Do You React When Something Goes Wrong?

A bearded, long-haired man is running through a city street. A man runs up to him, wanting to talk. The bearded man, still running, steps on some dog excrement, but just keeps on running calmly on. The man expresses surprise that he remains so calm. The bearded man replies in a calm and neutral voice, “It happens!” You may remember this scene from the film “Forrest Gump”....

Hypnotherapy in the New Year

I am excited to be back seeing my clients again after a couple of weeks break. This morning, however, the temperature was minus 5 and there was a light covering of snow, making the paths quite slippy. I went out to get the heating in the clinic on, and brushed a path through the slippy snow. An hour later and the clinic was still not up to a temperature that I would call “comfortable”....

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Provides a 90% Improvement Rate

Preliminary findings in a research project examining the effectiveness of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has shown a 90% improvement rate in clients’ main concerns. There is only one hypnotherapeutic treatment currently approved by NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the UK) - that is gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This does not mean that hypnotherapy is not extraordinarily effective for other issues, it is just that gut-directed hypnotherapy is the only type of hypnotherapy that has undergone large-scale scientific trials....

Surviving the Anxiety of a Family Christmas

It’s Christmas. You’re with the rest of your wider family. The drinks are flowing - maybe a little too liberally. Do you all get on? Do you always end up arguing? Do you look on embarrassed as some of your family are behaving in a way that you wouldn’t dream of? Is a family Christmas something you look forward to, or do you dread it?...

Are You SAD? Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder

As the days grow shorter and the skies turn grey, many of us feel a natural shift in mood. But for some, this seasonal change is more than just the "winter blues"—it's a condition known (somewhat ironically) as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). SAD is a type of depression, typically recurring each year, starting in the late autumn or early winter and remitting during the spring and throughout the summer....

Breaking up from a partner is one of the most stressful things that can happen to us. This stress can lead to increasing levels of anxiety and other negative emotions. Hypnotherapy cannot sort out the practical problems of breaking up, but it can help you regain control, and calm the emotions right down so as to be able to deal with the practical matters of the breakup a little easier....

Does driving on motorways fill you with dread? Do you take an alternative route just to avoid those busy, multi-lane roads? Do you avoid travelling just because it would mean driving on a motorway? Welcome to Amaxophobia! How Common is Amaxophobia? A lot of people are nervous about driving, but around one in ten drivers are so anxious that doctors would diagnose Amaxophobia - a fear of driving in certain circumstances, such as motorway driving, or being a passenger while someone else is driving....
