Podcast 27: Overcome phobias with hypnotherapy. Today I’ll be briefly talking about What a phobia is Why we experience fears and phobias And my 5 top tips to overcoming phobias including how you can use hypnotherapy to change your phobic reactions. There will also be a free hypnotherapy audio at the end of this podcast that you can enjoy, keep and come back to time and time again.  In episode 26 I talked about anxiety and how you can manage this with hypnotherapy. This week's podcast follows on from this so please go back and listen for more information on anxiety. A phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or an animal. Phobias are more exaggerated than fears. A fear might make you feel a bit anxious where a phobia can become so severe that a person might begin to organise their whole life around an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation, an object, an animal or a bodily function. This can be very restrictive and can cause a lot of unnecessary anxiety. Phobias usually build up over time but can also follow a traumatic event. The severity of a phobia can vary dramatically. If you’re only faced with your trigger very rarely it might not affect your everyday life too much. Or you might be debilitated by the fear for a large part of your life and plan your life around the phobia. You might feel Dizzy or light headed You might start to sweat Might feel sick or feel a churning in your stomach Might experience heart palpitations Or shortness of breath You can also experience shaking or the start of an upset stomach These are instantaneous and you might feel you have no control of these responses. This is where cognitive therapy can help you change the reactions you have to triggers and take control over your reactions to the world around you. This reaction can be attached to many different scenarios and this is why there are so many different phobias we can experience. From the more common fears and phobias like Spiders or insects Buttons Clowns Heights Water Animals The dentist or medical examinations To the less common phobias like Small holes Stickers Knees Numbers These are all more specific phobias which are centred around a situation, an object, bodily function, animal or an activity. Phobias can also be more complex which tend to be more limiting and usually develop during adulthood. Complex phobias are commonly associated with deep rooted fear or anxiety about a particular situation or circumstance such as agoraphobia or social phobia. This type of phobia might take a longer therapy plan to overcome because there are so many triggers that need addressing. Listen to this week's podcast for my 5 top tips to help you overcome phobias. Today’s hypnotherapy audio includes techniques you can use to reduce your response to your trigger and find new ways to overcome phobias. There are many techniques that we can use to help you improve your mornings so if you find you need more help visit www.altptherapies.co.uk to have a bespoke recording made for you with your challenges in mind.

Anxiety is very subjective, one person's fear is another's excitement. This can change day to day or minute by minute depending on the situation and how you're feeling.  This can be because of a large stress, such as an exam or after a series of small stresses that build up. It is common to be unaware when we are anxious or stressed, we can change this by being more aware of our behaviours when we are anxious and noticing the signs when anxiety starts to creep in and begin to affect our lives.

These illnesses could be a bacterial infection, which is caused by bacteria, or a viral infection which is caused by a virus. Each of these types of infection can cause fever or irritability so it can make it difficult to figure out where you got sick. Both types of infection are spread in basically the same way. When we pick up an illness it can leave us feeling pretty wiped out. You might feel A bit sick Loss of appetite Going from hot to cold Having a high temperature Feeling achy all over Experiencing headaches  Feeling tired or lethargic Feeling tightness in your chest or even experiencing a cough or sore throat You might also worry you're neglecting your loved ones or underperforming at work which can lead to guilt or disappointment in yourself because you need to take time to rest and recover from your minor illness.

There will also be a free hypnotherapy audio at the end of this podcast that you can enjoy, keep and come back to time and time again.  The Olympic games Rio 2016 are at the halfway mark and with another week of action to come I thought now would be a great time to talk about getting the most out of your skills and improve sports performance. You need to train your body so you are performing at your best ability but what happens if our mind isn’t part of this training regime? I quite like the analogy of being in a boat that needs to be rowed towards your goal. One oar is training hard and making sure you keep your body fit and healthy, trying to row with just this one oar will get you some success but you’ll probably just find yourself rowing in circles, never able to progress to the next level. You need to also train your mind, this is the other oar. Having both of these helps you get to where you want to be with a lot less effort than one oar alone! Performance anxiety will affect us all differently but will be experienced by us all at some point to some degree. This could be experienced in many different ways, it’s commonly those usual symptoms of the fight or flight response  Rapid heart beat Dry mouth Racing, unfocused thoughts or your mind can go blank Fear of failure or worrying you will get something wrong Seeing yourself perform badly Doubting your abilities Feeling sick or having an unsettled feeling in your stomach or chest When you are at the peak of your sports performance you feel focused on the moment, with no negative internal chatter or any fear of your mind going blank feel relaxed feel energised and ready to compete calm breathing and confident body language feel confident in your abilities and be free of internal conflicts enjoy yourself and keep motivated free of internal conflicts you can see your own success Listen to this week's podcast for my 5 top tips to help you improve your sports performance!   Today’s podcast will include a technique you can use to broadly enhance your sports performance and build your confidence as an athlete.

Podcast 22: Overcome alopecia or hair loss with hypnotherapy. Today I’ll be briefly talking about Stress related hair loss and alopecia How stress can cause hair loss 5 top tips to help you manage stress and also how you can use hypnotherapy to help you overcome the symptoms of alopecia There will also be a free hypnotherapy audio at the end of this podcast that you can enjoy, keep and come back to time and time again.  There are many reasons this could be hereditary, a side effect from medication, age related pattern baldness or many other reasons so if you are experiencing hair loss it’s always a good idea to speak to your GP. We’ll be focusing on stress related hair loss today but if you’re losing your hair because of another reason hypnotherapy can still be helpful, if you’re stressed because of the hair loss the stress could cause more hair loss so reducing stress is always a good idea! There are a few different types of alopecia Alopecia areata – this is patches of baldness that are a bit bigger than a large coin. Alopecia totalis - all of the hair on the scalp is gone. Alopecia universalis - no hair on the entire body. Scarring alopecia - this is usually caused by complications of another condition. In this type of alopecia the hair follicle is destroyed and hair won’t grow back. It’s not known exactly why some people experience hair loss but this can sometimes be triggered by stress. Alopecia is a condition that affects around one in a thousand. Even the healthiest person with no family history of hair loss can experience alopecia in some form. Hair loss can be difficult to cope with for men and women. Hair can be seen as our crowning glory, so losing this when you’re young or at a vulnerable time in your life can really knock your confidence or self esteem. Hair loss is one thing but what about the other challenges this can cause? You might have avoided an activity you enjoy such as swimming or socialising because you don’t want people to notice your hair loss. Do you worry how people will perceive you? Or if loved ones will feel the same about you? Have you avoided dating because you feel someone can’t love you the way you are? Do you feel anger or resentment? Or find yourself asking “why me?” Do you berate yourself or blame yourself for your hair loss? It can also mean you style your hair differently or start to use hats or bandannas to hide your hair loss. A change in appearance can invite comments or compliments from friends and family which can make you feel more self conscious. The thing you’re doing to try to take attention away from our hair can do the opposite and draw attraction to your hair. It can make you feel like you’ve lost part of your identity. The good news is not all anxiety related hair loss is permanent. If stress and anxiety are the main reasons for your hair loss, reducing that stress or anxiety can help your hair come back. There are some people who will find their hair doesn’t grow back, no matter what the root cause is but it’s always helpful to use relaxation techniques to help manage your anxieties to help reduce your risk of more hair loss that is stress related and to reduce the anxiety experienced because of your hair loss. Today’s podcast will include a metaphor to encourage hair growth. There are many techniques that we can use to help you overcome hair loss so if you find you need more help visit www.altptherapies.co.uk to have a bespoke recording made for you with your challenges in mind.
