Many of us play the lottery or buy the occasional scratchcard. But when it becomes a habit or addiction, that steals our hard earned pay packets away from us, it becomes the demon on our shoulder, telling us the next one must be the winning one. What makes that transition from fun with a few pennies to gambling our lives away? Low self esteem? Lost in life? Stressed and feeling out of control? Depressed maybe? Even as a reward? One of the most important aspects I look at when working with people with gambling problems is finding the root cause. Imagine every button you press, every card you turn, removes another item in your life until all that remains is a lonely soul in an empty space. I’m pretty sure you don’t want that. I’ll teach you relaxation techniques to overcome the demon when he appears whispering in your ear. Most importantly I will also teach you the confidence to like yourself again. If you're ready to send those demons packing, why not get in touch? Pop over to my website www.beckywells.com

F is for finding lost items. How many times have you lost something and wondered where you’ve put it? If you’re like me, many times. In fact just today I bought a paper and five minutes later I couldn’t find it. Turned out I’d left it on the counter at the shop I’d bought it from. Have you lost something important and cannot find it? One of my clients recently lost, well misplaced, a family heirloom. After three months of searching, they decided to try hypnotherapy. Just one session and her subconscious went back to a place she’d looked many times. It wasn’t even hidden. So if the sock monster has extend his duties to hiding more important items, give me a buzz. I might be able to get the location out of him. For more information or to book a session contact me at www.beckywells.com  F is for Fear What about fear? Is a fear or phobia holding you back? How many things can you imagine doing if that fear or phobia didn’t stop you. Some of the fears I’ve worked with ...
How much easier would life be if that fear wasn’t holding you back? Take a moment to sit back and say ‘that fear of ….’ Is no longer there. ‘Now I can…’ That’s where I want to help, help you on the way to wherever you want to go. If fear is stopping you moving forwards, learn to stand up to fear and climb to new heights.

Worry that you’ve lost control over how much food you eat? Does that image you see in the mirror tell you you're overweight, when others around comment on how little you weigh? Does the thought of food dominate your life and lifestyle? Do you hide your feelings about food to those around you? Many people find a combination of therapies can help for eating disorders. Why is hypnotherapy one of those to consider?
Importantly I would also advise you to seek help from a medical professional, such as your GP. It’s a journey to take control of those habits around food and thoughts around your own self. Giving you that healthy you back in the process by replacing negative, damaging thoughts with positive empowering ones. As Lao Tzu once said. ‘Every great journey begins with that single step’.

You can be in a room full of people, hiding behind a mask of smiles and laughter, but inside feeling like a person trapped on a desert island not knowing which way to escape. Do you try and pretend it's not there or that it is not a serious condition? Do you find you’re always tired? It can be very debilitating, making everyday tasks like climbing your own Everest. Sometimes it's just about finding someone to listen. Not only listening but listening without judgement. Someone who doesn’t see crying or being emotional as a weakness. I’m guessing you would like nothing better than to feel happy again and be yourself. Never call that problem stupid or tell everyone that it is nothing to worry about. For those who think someone they know is showing these symptoms…. The important thing is to be there. Be genuine, don’t lie to them. Don’t tell them things and not really mean them. A hug or simple ‘I’m here for you, if that’s okay’. Tell them how much you value their friendship and that you care about their life. That conversation could quite literally save their life. I know. I have spoken to many at this point over the years. Depression can make people feel worthless and not needed. Be there to reassure that person that they really matter and that you want to help. As a hypnotherapist the most important initial job I can do is listen and bring a sense of relaxation back to that person. For them it’s probably felt like they’ve been a coiled spring waiting to break for way too long. It’s a journey… but it’s a journey back to discovering the real you again.  We all live in a world where we are told what to do, whether consciously or subconsciously, by other people. It can be our spouse or our employer or even the adverts we watch on TV. These instructions even get internalised after a while so we just follow them without being asked. When will it be time to take back those controls and say ‘no’? Right now I say. A see a lot of clients who, behind that shield they have put up to protect them, have dreams, ambitions and visions that would change the world for the better. If only they’d learn how to break down that barrier in front of them. What who you do if you had all that confidence? Start a business? Stand up to the bullies around you? What is stopping you from doing it right now? Take a look in the mirror. Who do you see staring back at you? Imagine for a moment that this person wasn’t you but someone else. Maybe a friend. What advice would you give them about their dreams and ambitions? I suspect you’d encourage them to go for it. Having a higher level of confidence can have great benefits in all areas of your life, from relationships, career and even your own state of mind. It give you the faith to stand up and be that unique individual that you are. Confidence is a skill that can be developed. It has no boundaries when it comes to age, religion or gender. As your confidence grows you’ll also notice your body posture becomes more upright. Strange but true. Standing tall when walking down the street, smiling more. Hypnotherapy can help you reach that goal by first teaching you how to relax. For more information visit my website www.beckywells.com image:Pixabay  |
