Inspired To Change Canterbury

Do you feel stressed or anxious?

1 in 4 of us will suffer from stress and anxiety in any given year. Often we don't know how or why we end up feeling like that.

A certain amount of stress can be dealt with naturally. However, when it becomes too much for us to cope with hypnotherapy can be a highly effective way of taking back control.

A few sessions of solution focused hypnotherapy can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety and build confidence and self esteem helping you get your life back on track!

To find out how hypnotherapy can help you get your life back on track, get in touch today and book your FREE initial consultation http://www.inspiredtochange.biz/

“All of a sudden I am not physically convulsing at the thought of getting up presenting in front of people”

"Your speed doesn't matter, forward is forward"

When working towards a goal or an outcome it can be so easy to compare our progress to others, to see how much better, or faster they are progressing and to beat ourselves up for not being good enough.

And whilst some things in life have deadlines attached to them, many of our timelines are self imposed giving us the opportunity to appreciate each small step taken and remember to enjoy the journey along the way!

Do you feel like a bear with a sore head now that the days are getting shorter and darker?

Whilst most of us get a little bit fed up of the cold nights and grey days Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) sufferers experience a far more extreme set of symptoms, that most often include:

- sudden weight changes
- low mood
- loss of interest
- comfort food craving
- negative outlook
- aches and pains
- disturbed sleep
- and prolonged feelings of tiredness.

SAD, and the milder symptom producing sub-syndromal SAD which is often referred to as the Winter Blues, affects around 2 million people in the UK.

So, what is SAD?

How do we know if we’ve got it?

And what can we do about it?

"Be kind to yourself"

We are often much quicker to show kindness to others than we are to ourselves.

Even in simple things like saying thank you, and giving compliments.

When was the last time you thanked yourself or gave yourself a compliment?

Why is this important?

Research in to the neuroscience of self-compassion shows us that when we show kindness to ourselves it decreases activity in the areas of our brain that process stress and negative emotions, lowering our levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

I wonder how you will show kindness to yourself this week?

Life making you feel overwhelmed?

Overwhelm is something we can all experience from time to time when too many stresses occur at once or have built up over time.

But if you are regularly suffering from overwhelm or the feelings are becoming more intense, it can really begin to affect your quality of life. It can affect your ability to think and act rationally or prevent you from performing daily tasks leaving you in a brain fog that is hard to think through.

A few sessions of solution focused hypnotherapy can help you get your life back on track, feeling confident and in control regardless of what is going on around you.

Inspired by the Seven Dwarfs, this blog compares our emotional states to those familiar Disney characters – Doc, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, Grumpy, D***y and Happy - each representing a mental health challenge many of us will recognise.

It reminds us that the ups and downs of mental health can feel like being on an emotional rollercoaster which are part of the ups and downs we can all face in life.

“After hypnotherapy for just a few short weeks I have regained my confidence and self-belief”

"Not every day is a good day but there’s something good in every day"

One of the first things we ask our clients to do is to start making a note of what has been good each day.

It doesn't have to be anything big. Just the small things we notice like a favourite song on the radio, a smile, a compliment...

It may seem like a small, insignificant thing to do but it helps our brain to put our challenges in context, to see a more balanced view of our days.

And the science shows us that doing this simple of task of looking for one good thing each day, actively changes the information our brain is choosing to show us.

Why not give it a go and notice the difference it makes to how you view your days?

This is an interesting look at high sensitivity.

Researchers have identified 3 different types of sensitivity and what this means in terms of strengths and weaknesses.

The 3 Main Types of High Sensitivity Super sensors, super feelers, and aesthetes.

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the mental and emotional strain experienced by those working within the blue light services. It’s estimate that almost 70% of police officers and staff experience a mental health issue and many of these don’t receive the help that they need.

This can perhaps be attributed to the fear of being seen as weak, or “not good enough for the job”, leading people to worry that speaking out and asking for help will have a detrimental impact on their career.

For those who do seek help, it’s reported that current psychological interventions aren’t having the desired effect.

So, what can be done to support the Police workforce?
