Breaking Free: Stop Vaping with the Power of Hypnotherapy

In recent years, the popularity of vaping has soared, with many individuals turning to e-cigarettes as an alternative to traditional smoking. While vaping is often perceived as a less harmful option, it’s essential to recognize that it’s not without its own set of risks. Whether you’re concerned about your health, the financial costs, or simply want to regain control over your life, hypnotherapy offers a unique and powerful approach to help you break free from the grip of vaping addiction.

Understanding the Power of Hypnotherapy:

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, often referred to as a trance. In this state, individuals become more open to suggestion, allowing a skilled hypnotherapist to work with the subconscious mind to address the root causes of addictive behaviors.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You Quit Vaping:

  1. Breaking the Psychological Dependence: Hypnotherapy can target the psychological aspects of vaping addiction, helping individuals identify and overcome the triggers that lead to the urge to vape. By addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to break free from the mental chains of addiction.
  2. Changing Perceptions and Beliefs: Often, addictive behaviors are fueled by deep-seated beliefs or perceptions. Hypnotherapy can help reshape these beliefs, fostering a positive mindset and reinforcing the desire to quit vaping. This shift in perspective can be a powerful catalyst for change.
  3. Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Vaping is sometimes used as a coping mechanism for stress and anxiety. Hypnotherapy can teach individuals alternative relaxation techniques, providing healthier ways to manage stress without turning to harmful substances.
  4. Creating a Mental Barrier: A skilled hypnotherapist can work with individuals to create a mental barrier against the desire to vape. This involves reinforcing negative associations with vaping and building a strong resolve to resist the temptation.
  5. Boosting Self-Esteem and Confidence: Quitting any addiction requires a strong sense of self-worth and confidence. Hypnotherapy can help individuals build and strengthen their self-esteem, providing the emotional foundation needed to overcome the challenges of quitting vaping.
  6. Visualizing a Vape-Free Future: Guided imagery during hypnotherapy sessions allows individuals to vividly imagine and internalize a future without vaping. This positive visualization can serve as a powerful motivator, making the goal of quitting more tangible and achievable.

If you’re ready to reclaim control over your life and embrace a vape-free future, contact me now to explore the transformative power of hypnotherapy. With the right mindset and guidance, you can embark on a path to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

The Vagus Nerve Miracle

By

The Healing Power of Your Vagus Nerve

Understanding the functions of the vagus nerve — and how you can stimulate it — can impact your mental and physical health for the better. Here’s what you need to know about how the largest nerve in your body affects anxiety, the trauma response and the overall mind-body connection.

Our Central Nervous System (CNS) is made up of our brain and spinal cord.  Our Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is made up of nerves which connect our brain and spinal cord to the rest of our body.                                                                        Our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is a complex network of neurons that control and regulate our body’s processes, influencing the activity of our internal organs, regulating and maintaining homeostasis.

Homeostasis refers to stabilising and balancing the conditions inside our body, for example, not too hot, not too cold, not too fast and not too slow. Regulating homeostasis including:

  • Body Temperature
  • Blood pressure
  • Heart rate
  • Breathing
  • Metabolism
  • Digestion
  • Blood glucose levels
  • Blood acidity levels
  • Water and electrolytes

Then there are 2 parts to our Autonomic Nervous System involved with bringing us to homeostasis.

Our Sympathetic Nervous System is made up of fight, flight and freeze response. And our Para-sympathetic Nervous System is made up of rest, digest, recovery and relaxation.

There is a time and place for each one.  Sometimes we need to respond quickly to stimuli. Going back through our history we needed to kick in to fight response to give us energy to chase and catch animals so we could eat and survive. Sometimes we needed to respond with flight to quickly get away from wild animals so we didn’t become their dinner.

Then we would relax, eat, digest, sleep, recharge and start the next day.

In modern living, the technology age is moving much faster than evolution and we can find ourselves stuck in fight/flight response when we are stuck in traffic, sitting in a board meeting at work, pressure from our boss to meet deadlines, chasing dollars to survive.

So many people experience high stress, anxiety, panic and feel like their bodies are holding that tension/stress/ negative emotion trapped in their nervous system and body organs. Resulting in burnout, overwhelm, insomnia, muscle pain… Studies have found many health problems caused by stress or worsened by stress including heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems, mental health conditions, high blood pressure, hypertension and…

Vagus Nerve to the rescue !

Our Vagus Nerve is one of our twelve cranial nerves in our body and is the main nerve responsible for bringing us to Para-sympathetic rest, digest, recovery and relaxation. Our Vagus is the longest nerve of our autonomic nervous system and comprises both sensory and motor fibres.

With the help of our vagus nerve activation, we can process and manage stress more easily, release trauma which has been trapped and stored in our body, regulate our emotions, decrease pain both physical and emotion, gain more control over our cognition, feel safe, calm and at peace.

My go to therapy techniques I use to help my clients release stress, calm anxiety and stimulate the vagus nerve is a mixture of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to work with the connection between our thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours. Hypnotherapy to find underlying issues that may be causing stress hidden in the subconscious mind below the level of our conscious awareness to bring them in to awareness to help, reframe, heal and release trauma from past experience or internal perceptions. Qigong exercises to stretch and stimulate the Para-sympathetic Nervous System – Mentally focused intention to make shifts internally. Breathing exercises to make quick shifts from stress to calm and to incorporate within the Hypnotherapy and Qigong practice. Resulting in feeling calm, safe and relaxed.

When we activate our vagus nerve it stimulates parts of our brain in the frontal lobe, neo-cortex responsible for creativity, high cognition and complex decision making.

When we are in Sympathetic Nervous System we are accessing parts of our brain related to primal instinct, fear, fight and flight response. Reptilian brain activation.

Having the tools to improve your overall well-being is not only empowering, but it also allows you to regulate your internal environment when the external environment is uncontrolled.

I can teach you how to tap into the healing powers of the Vagus Nerve.

How does Hypnotherapy for eating disorder’s work ?

By

I create an empathetic and supportive environment for client’s from all demographics, who have a range of Eating Disorder’s such as Anorexia, Bulimia, Food Restriction, Sensory Issues, Binge Eating, Food Addiction’s, ARFID – Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.

I use a combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to treat these disorder’s.

“Changing Habit’s and Behaviour’s for better health”

What are eating disorders?

Whilst we all need food to survive, grow and maintain our health. It is often our lack of understanding or simply a development of unusual eating habits that affect our relationships with food.

Some of us develop emotional relationships with food, generically referred to as “disordered eating” sometimes referred to as comfort eating or binge eating as well as clinical terms such as anorexia and bulimia.

These are often tied to other emotional and mental health issues like depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.

Eating disorders are a range of mental health conditions that see sufferers build unusual habits with food. As well as the psychological issues, you have the physical effects which are not only extreme weight loss or weight gain, but also the effects that extreme losses and gains in weight have on our internal organs like our hearts and liver. Quite often these seemingly simple “unhealthy choices” can have devastating effects on the body.

How are eating disorders caused?

Eating disorders are caused by life experience triggers with emotional charge which slip into our subconscious mind and impact our habits and belief systems which cause effect on our behaviours.

  • Having a family history of eating disorders or depression.
  • Having someone criticize your eating habits or your weight.
  • Feeling pressure to stay slim for work or a hobby.
  • Having certain characteristics, such as an obsessive personality or a tendency to be anxious.
  • Experiencing upsetting events, such as a death or abuse.
  • Relationship difficulties with a partner, friends or family members.
  • Being under a lot of stress, for example at work, school or university and creating a coping mechanism or rushed eating habits

How does hypnotherapy for eating disorders work?

As a hypnotherapist I understand the root causes of the issues behind the eating disorder and often use regression techniques to discover these. I use relaxation techniques to access your subconscious to reveal the trigger event, comment or situation that may have contributed to the development of the disorder.

Then I use the power of suggestion to change thought processes and then habits around the eating disorder to facilitate a change in daily routine and the food relationship.

By using positive suggestion whilst you are “under” hypnosis, I can change the way you feel about yourself (self-esteem) as learning to feel good about and appreciate yourself is a massive part of recovery. Creating a new understanding of food and changing that relationship, hypnotherapy for eating disorders provides an overall change in mindset that includes a motivation for regular physical exercise, perception shift of certain foods and associations to food types. It motivates you to feel good about eating healthier. Replaces the old cycle of thinking and behaviour, with a new confident “can do” attitude and fundamentally changes your mindset towards food, life style and feeling good within.

SED – Selective Eating Disorder

  • Does the taste, smell or texture of food make you anxious?
  • Do you only have a small amount of ‘safe’ foods?
  • Do you want to eat foods, but your mind and body won’t let you?
  • Have you been called a ‘fussy eater’, but never grown out of it?

ARFID – Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

ARFID is predominately a phobic reaction or aversion to food; much in the same way that people develop a phobic reaction to animals, objects or certain situations.

Many children go through a phase of disliking some foods. Maybe it’s peas or fish, or refusing to eat certain fruits and vegetables. Traditionally these children may have been labelled as ‘picky’ or ‘fussy’ eaters.

But when does someone who is labelled a ‘fussy’ eater change to being someone labelled as suffering from a Selective Eating Disorder?

A ‘fussy’ eater can be bribed to eat food. Maybe the promise of an ice-cream, or a trip to the movies will see the child reluctantly eat a spoonful of certain vegetables. But a person with SED/ARFID would not be able to do this. Even if they were starving, their brain would not allow them to bring the food to their mouth or swallow it. The SED sufferer will most times gag or vomit if forced to eat foods not considered safe.

Don’t hesitate to phone me to discuss your particular challenges with food and to book your first session with me.

 

 

Don’t Let Fear of Flying Hold You Back

By

If you’re one of the millions of people who suffer from a fear of flying, you know how debilitating it can be. You may have tried all sorts of things to try to overcome your fear, but nothing has worked so far. Well, we have some good news for you – hypnotherapy may be able to help! In this blog post, we will discuss how hypnotherapy for fear of flying can help you start enjoying air travel again.

Fear of flying is a complex phenomenon that can range from mild anxiety to full-blown phobia. While it may seem like just another form of anxiety, it is actually considered to be a specific disorder in its own right, known as aviophobia. Aviophobia encompasses both the fear of flying itself and the fear of other things related to flying, such as turbulence or take-off and landing.

Usually, the fear of flying is caused by a combination of psychological and physical factors. Psychological causes can range from fear of the unknown to traumatic experiences related to flying in the past. Physical symptoms can include nausea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, or trembling.

If the symptoms are severe enough, they can be diagnosed as an anxiety disorder. So do not be ashamed if you feel like your fear of flying is an anxiety disorder. Many people experience this, and it can be successfully treated with the right approach.

Fearful flyers will often go out of their way to avoid travelling by air, opting for train and bus services, even if it considerably lengthens their journey.
More will choose to miss personal events to avoid stepping foot on an aircraft.
Some would love to travel on holidays to beautiful destinations, however their fear of flying over powers their desire.
Other people would decline well paid career opportunities if that job involved overseas travel.
Many people are more afraid or have become afraid of flying post-covid, worried about being trapped in another country and unable to get a flight back based on past experience. Or fear of crowds of people in the airport and onboard the plane.

Your fear of flying may have started from an “initial sensitizing event,” for example, being on a flight in the past where you experienced strong turbulence and went into worrying thoughts about what could happen, resulting in your subconscious response to release adrenaline (neurotransmitters) and cortisol (stress hormones) even with the thought of future flying.
For others who have never been on a plane but still feel fearful is often because of other underlying anxiety, for example:

  • Fear of enclosed spaces
  • Fear of heights
  • Fear of crowds

Hypnosis Can Help With Flying Fear

Hypnosis can be incredibly effective in helping people overcome their fear of flying. As it can help to reduce the anxiety associated with it by using relaxation techniques and visualization exercises. Hypnosis can also help to address underlying issues that may be contributing to a person’s fear of flying, such as irrational thoughts or past trauma.

By using hypnosis, people can alter their perception and thought processes to reduce the fear associated with flying. As a result, those who practice hypnosis for flying fear are often able to fly without experiencing any anxiety or distress.

Furthermore, the use of self-hypnosis can provide an ongoing line of support for managing any lingering anxiety that may still exist. As with any form of phobia, it’s important to seek professional help if the fear is severely impacting someone’s life or preventing them from doing what they want or need to do. With the right help and support, hypnosis can be an effective way to manage a fear of flying.

Hypnotherapy is a way to relieve these anxieties and confront the subconscious phobia. Hypnosis is a way to persuade the subconscious mind from acting out negative thought patterns and behaviours which induce fear.

What Techniques Does Hypnotherapy Use For Fear Of Flying?

If you are considering hypnotherapy for fear of flying, your therapist will use a variety of techniques to help you overcome this fear. Here are some of the techniques that may be used:

  • Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy(CBT)

This is a type of therapy that helps you to challenge and change negative thoughts and behaviours. Hypnotherapy can be used to help you recognize any irrational beliefs you may have about flying and replace them with more positive ones.

  • Visualization Exercises

The use of visualization exercises to help you understand how it feels to fly and experience a flight confidently. You might imagine yourself on the plane, feeling calm, secure, and relaxed as the plane takes off and through the duration of the flight.

  • Relaxation Techniques

Hypnotherapy involves deep relaxation techniques to help you let go of any fear and anxiety you may have about flying. These techniques will help you to focus on positive affirmations and calming thoughts that can increase your confidence in the air.

  • Rehearsal

Your therapist may also use rehearsal exercises to prepare you for a real flight experience. During these rehearsals, they will guide you through the entire process, from planning your flight to boarding the plane and taking off.

  • Rewind Technique

Finally, this helps you go back in time and address any traumatic experiences you may have had with flying. Your therapist will help you rewrite any negative memories associated with flying and replace them with positive ones.

By using these techniques, your hypnotherapist can help you gain a greater sense of control and confidence when it comes to flying. With increased self-awareness and motivation, you’ll be able to face your fears and enjoy the benefits that come with air travel.

Conclusion

In conclusion, hypnotherapy for fear of flying is highly effective in helping individuals overcome their fear and anxiety about flying. This works by addressing the underlying causes of this phobia, including past experiences, irrational beliefs, and negative thinking patterns. Through hypnotherapeutic techniques, individuals can gain control over their thoughts and emotions surrounding flying.

With ongoing practice, many people find it easier to overcome their fear and can even eventually manage anxiety in other situations as well. Hypnotherapy for fear of flying is a safe, non-invasive treatment that can provide long-lasting results for those struggling with phobias.

Overall, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for managing the fear of flying and achieving greater peace of mind while traveling. With the help of a qualified professional, you can use hypnotherapy to reduce anxiety, increase confidence, and improve cognitive functioning in flight.

Ultimately, this could lead to improved overall well-being and an increased ability to enjoy the flying experience.

I can help calm your social anxiety and performance anxiety

By

Social anxiety

Fear of being judged

Do you have a fear of being judged? Fear of judgment is common and many people can relate to feeling shy, at least a little bit. But people with social anxiety disorder tend to have an overblown fear of other people thinking badly of them. I provide evidence-based therapy for social anxiety disorder, in adolescents and adults.

 

 

 

What is Social Anxiety ?

‘The fear of being judged or being the centre of attention’.

Many people can relate to feeling shy, nervous or awkward in social situations from time to time. However, for people with social anxiety disorder, the fear of judgement or criticism by others is much more intense and intrusive. The anxiety causes a lot of distress. It can get so bad that it’s difficult for people to stay in feared social situations, and they may avoid these situations altogether. Some may suffer through them by using alcohol, drugs or other coping strategies such as avoiding eye contact. It can have a negative impact on important areas of life such as relationships and work.

Many people with social anxiety disorder will avoid (or attempt to avoid) social situations such as:

  • catching up with friends
  • meeting new people
  • doing the shopping
  • answering the phone
  • eating in public: cafes, the staff room at work, or at lunchtime at school
  • being the centre of attention or performing in front of others: giving a speech or talk, or speaking up in a meeting or answering a question in class, music, drama, or sporting performances
  • going to a party

For some people, their social anxiety only pops up in situations where they are expected to perform in some way, such as giving a speech or speaking to their boss or teacher.

Either way, the distress and the avoidance of situations can really impact a person’s functioning and quality of life. The anxiety can get in the way of attending events they care about, going to work or school, connecting with others, or doing practical tasks like going grocery shopping.

When a diagnosis of social anxiety disorder is made, it means a person has been struggling with these symptoms for about 6 months or more, but often by the time people come to get help with social anxiety they’ve been feeling that way for many years.

What is performance anxiety?

Performance anxiety is considered a type of social anxiety. Often called ‘stage fright’, this anxiety appears when a person is in a performance situation:

  • on stage
  • an exam
  • a meeting
  • in class,
  • on the sporting field

When in a performance situation and others are watching us, our body can react as if we’re under attack; the flight or fight response is activated and we can experience severe anxiety symptoms. Performance anxiety can impact your performance, your enjoyment of valued activities, your self-confidence and self-esteem.

How common is social anxiety disorder?

About 12% of adults experience social anxiety disorder at some point in their life. The rates in children are thought to be around 5-10%.

How I can help with Social Anxiety and Performance Anxiety:

The good news is that social anxiety disorder and performance anxiety tend to respond well to cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). CBT teaches people to understand their anxious thoughts, to tolerate experiencing some anxiety, and to gradually face situations they’ve been avoiding to overcome their fears and regain their life.

Hypnotherapy works well because we focus on the subconscious program which is like our auto-pilot that we are running on 90% of our day. We work together to recognised and bring in to conscious awareness those triggers and sensitising events that have caused our unwanted heightened levels of anxiety. Then we focus together on overcoming those restrictions from our past and shift to new levels of calm and confident as we step in to our new empowered future.

So…I believe…Combining Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Hypnotherapy, is key for success.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy to work consciously and subconsciously together as a team for the best results.

Also Counselling Support is very important in the therapy process, which is part of the service I provide.

Typical socially anxious thoughts that we would help people with in therapy include:

  • What I say sounds stupid
  • I’m boring, weird, or unlikeable
  • I will make a fool of myself
  • Everyone will see I’m anxious
  • I’ll be rejected or criticised
  • I can’t cope if I’m anxious
  • I have nothing to say
  • People will think badly of me
  • I must perform at a high-level
  • Others expect too much of me
  • Mistakes are unacceptable
  • I must prove myself

Therapy typically involves developing a trusting relationship with your therapist who can help you to:

  • develop self-compassion and helpful thinking styles
  • plan for entering social situations in a graded way (easiest to hardest)
  • practice (imagery and role-play) social interactions to help you feel more ready to build social connections
  • gradually let go of any crutches that you use to cope with your anxiety (e.g. avoiding eye contact, withdrawing from social situations, or speaking quietly)
  • increase your tolerance for feeling anxious, helping you to accept and cope with some anxiety, rather than feeling that you must get rid of it

Research studies suggest that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) may also be effective in managing social anxiety and performance anxiety.

The Psychology of Anger

By

Anger is a natural emotion that we all experience as a response to disagreements, difficult situations and frustration.
Anger can be healthy or unhealthy depending on the type of threat and the way anger is communicated.
Our Anger is one of our basic human emotions tied to survival.
It can help us survive (healthy) or cause us regret (unhealthy).
Anger management can help with the way we communicate.

Responding rather than reacting.
Managing anger doesn’t mean never getting angry.
Instead it involves learning how to recognise triggers, cope with and express yourself in a healthy, more productive way.
Anger is an emotion that can range from mild irritation to intense rage.

 

 

 

 

 

Autonomic Nervous System ANS
The two parts of your ANS are sympathetic and Para-sympathetic.
The Para-sympathetic nervous system is when we are calm, in rest, digest and recovery.
Sympathetic nervous system is fight, flight, freeze response and is where we are, when we are experiencing anger.
Think of the Sympathetic nervous system like boiling a jug of water.

Mild irritation – frustration – anger – rage – intense rage.

A more healthy way of dealing with anger is, if you think of an analogue clock slowly moving from one minute or hour to the next, where the person has had time to recognise a boiling up of their anger emotion and have time to…

  • consciously identify triggers
  • evaluate their anger
  • recognise warning signs
  • step away
  • go for a walk to calm down
  • and then step back in to the situation in a more calm, more controlled way

Whereas, some people, sometimes react more like a digital clock, instantly firing from 0 – 100 into rage where their thinking shifts from the rational frontal lobe, neo-cortex to reptilian react to danger part of the brain where they often react by hitting, breaking, yelling and screaming !
Then later when they calm down and the blood flows back to the rational brain they think “oh no, what have I done ? ”.
Now it’s time to face consequences, apologise, fix things or pay for things to be fixed or worse…

Assertiveness styles.
Aggressive
Assertive
Passive aggressive
Manipulative
Passive

 

 

 

 

Someone who is aggressive is getting their needs met but at the expense of someone being passive who then feels hurt, unheard, victimised or abused.
Assertive is where you focus on getting your wants and needs meet but also in line with the other person getting their wants and needs meet.
Statements for example, I think we should do this. What do you think? (Assertive style)
vs statements for example, you need to do this for me NOW (Aggressive style)

Focus on I statements rather than you statements.

Anger is sometimes triggered by “perceived threats”

Our experiences + our perceptions = our reality
When we are in certain situations we can feel threats to our physical or emotional wellbeing.
Different people respond differently to situations.
Physical threats such as feeling unsafe based on past experience when they did get assaulted.
Emotional threats are problems or stressors that threaten something important to a person such as financial stability, emotional security or integrity.

Automatic thoughts

Every thought we have has a chemical and electrical reaction and we feel a certain way emotionally based on that thought.
Our brain has 100 billion neurons (brain cells) which communicate together through synapses, sending messages to our body chemically and electrically with the use of hormones and neuro-transmitters.
We have a situation, we think automatic thoughts (and sometimes conscious thoughts) about that situation. Our brain’s limbic system controls the experience and expression of emotions and decides which emotion to attach to that experience. Then the brain sends a message to the body, for example “anger” and the person experiences that emotion and the physical sensations to match that emotion.
Physical sensations related to anger can be –
fight response from the fight/flight/freeze response
increased level of adrenaline and cortisol
blood flow to the muscles
heart racing
tightening of muscles
clenching of fists.

Depending on how we feel, we are going to act or behave a certain way, depending on how we behave we are going to have a certain outcome.

By being in a different situation, thinking differently and behaving differently is going to have a different result or outcome and you are going to experience a different emotional experience or a milder version of anger, for example, irritated or frustrated, which of course is much easier to work with than trying to talk yourself or someone you care about out a rage.

Past programming

We store information in our sub-conscious as programming from past experience.
You could think of our sub-conscious mind like a sponge that has been absorbing information from experience in the external world. The things our parents told us and what we observed (good and bad), teachers, friends, family, human behaviour.
This creates our belief system, which includes self-sabotaging beliefs, limiting beliefs, dis-empowering beliefs and some good stuff as well.

We also add to the sub-conscious our habits, personality traits, values, memory, cognitive distortions and thinking patterns in to this program.

Then when we are confronted with situations, we are going to react or respond in a certain way based on our program.
If we grew up watching dad hit mum or from an angry environment with lots of yelling as the way to deal with situations.
Or you were bought up to be nice and polite and do as you are told.
So your experience within the external world plus your perception of that experience or how you were told you should perceive an experience will become your reality or your program.
Then you respond based on your program.

How I can help you

I can help you to identify and become aware of your negative cognitive thinking patterns and maladaptive schemas (negative core beliefs), challenge those bad habits and create new response habits, positive thinking patterns and a calmer nervous system resulting in a more balanced life style moving forward.
New skills to increase assertiveness and solution focused thinking.

Very important

If you are still reading that is great because here is a very important fact.
ANGER IS AN EMOTION
ABUSE IS AN ACTION
KEEP THEM SEPARATE

Abuse is an action. Violence is an action.
Forms of abuse – Verbal abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse.

We all experience emotions automatically.
It is the action we want to gain more control over.
