The prevalence of psoriasis in Western populations is estimated to be around 2-3%. It affects both sexes equally and occurs at all ages.

Several factors are thought to aggravate psoriasis. These include stress and excessive alcohol consumption. Individuals with psoriasis may also suffer from depression and loss of self-esteem. As such, quality of life is an important factor in evaluating the severity of the disease,

Hypnotherapy aims to remove all the psychological reasons why the immune system is acting inappropriately and by reducing any stress and improving any self-esteem problem, gradually improves the skin condition.

IBS has been called by many names — colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, spastic bowel, and functional bowel disease. Most of these terms are inaccurate. Colitis, for instance, means inflammation of the large intestine (colon).

IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but it does not cause permanent harm to the intestines and does not lead to intestinal bleeding of the bowel or to a serious disease such as cancer. It is a common disorder of the intestines that leads to crampy pain, gassiness, bloating and changes in bowel habits.

It is often just a mild annoyance, but for some people it can be disabling. They may feel unable to go to social events or travel any distance from home for fear of “accidents”.

The cause of IBS is not known, and as yet there is no real cure. Doctors call it a functional disorder because there is no apparent physical reason for it. However, many are agreed that the stresses of life are a major contribution to the severity of this condition. This is where hypnotherapy can and does help in many cases.

There is no need for you to suffer this condition anymore. Let me help you to live your life to the full again.

So to create a beautiful garden, we do not think twice about lavishing all the care necessary, and making sure that that garden receives all that it needs, and what it needs in the right proportions, otherwise what’s the point in having a garden at all. So, why do we have a body that we do not feed with exactly what it needs. Why would someone lavish much more care on a garden than they would on themselves? It does not make sense does it?

If you have a pet, do you under or overfeed it? No, of course you do not. It would be a cruel thing to do, wouldn’t it? It’s a strange world, when we treat plants and animals better than ourselves, and even stranger, if these plants or animals were left to nature, nature would find just enough for them to survive, not too much and not too little.

Imagine a balloon. You feed a balloon with air. You blow the air in until it reaches an optimum size. What happens if you feed it too much air? It gets bigger and bigger, and eventually pops. You could say it then has a heart attack, couldn’t you? That’s what would happen to you , too, wouldn’t it?

The Department of Health says that a woman needs a daily calorie intake of roughly 2000 calories and a man nees 2500. Since most adults lead a sedentary lifestyle, these figures apply to adults with low activity levels, so if you are active then allow a little more.

The RDA or Recommended Daily Allowance figures suggest that we should have approximately 60% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 10% protein within our daily calorie allowance. There are also a number of essential vitamins and minerals that we also must have. I won’t bore you with the figures relating to all these, but be mindful that many items sold in shops these days do refer to these vitamins and minerals, giving the contents as a percentage of your recommended daily allowance. There are certainly books that you can buy that give all these figures, and it certainly would be possible for you to calculate your total daily intake in relation to carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals and make sure that you eat exactly what you are meant to eat. Most people, of course, would not be inclined to do this, but just take in mind that this is possible, and you could make sure that you eat, just enough to maintain your body in perfect condition, and no more.

Obviously, In order to lose weight you need to eat less calories per day than your body needs. To lose 1lb a week you need to reduce your intake by 500 calories per day. To lose weight at 2lb a week, which is the recommended rate, you need to reduce your calorie intake by 1000 calories per day.

Normally, both fear and anxiety can he helpful, helping us to avoid dangerous situations, making us alert and giving us the motivation to deal with problems. However, if the feelings become too strong or go for too long, they can stop us from doing the things we want to and can make our lives miserable.

A phobia is a fear of particular situations or things that are not dangerous and which most people do not find troublesome. A person with a phobia has intense symptoms of anxiety, but they only arise from time to time in the particular situations that frighten them. At other times they don’t feel anxious. If you have a phobia of dogs, you will feel OK if there are no dogs around, if you are scared of heights, you feel OK at ground level, and if you can’t face social situations, you will feel calm when there are no people around.

A phobia will lead the sufferer to avoid situations in which they know they will be anxious, but this will actually make the phobia worse as time goes on. It can also mean that the person’s life becomes increasingly dominated by the precautions they have to take to avoid the situation they fear. Sufferers usually know that there is no real danger, they may feel silly about their fear but they are still unable to control it. A phobia is more likely to go away if it has started after a distressing or traumatic event.

About one in every ten people will have troublesome anxiety or phobias at some point in their lives. However, most will never ask for treatment. It becomes an accepted part of them, a harmless neurosis, that their friends and relations see as being a part of their character.

A phobia is an anxiety disorder in which you feel intense fear of a particular object or situation, but know all the time that there is no real danger.

The dictionary definition of the word “Phobia” is “Fear” but, a better word could be “Avoidance”, as most phobia sufferers avoid the situations. It is actually an excessive or unreasonable fear of an object, place or situation.

Phobias are extremely common. Sometimes they start in childhood for no apparent reason; sometimes they emerge after a traumatic event; and sometimes they develop from an attempt to make sense of an unexpected and intense anxiety or panic (e.g. “I feel fearful, therefore I must be afraid of something”).

When the phobic person actually encounters, or even anticipates being in the presence of the feared object or situation, he or she experiences immediate anxiety. The physical symptoms of anxiety may include a racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, chest or abdominal discomfort, trembling, etc. and the emotional component involves an intense fear – of losing control, embarrassing oneself, or passing out.

Commonly people try to escape, and then to avoid the feared situation wherever possible. This may be fairly easy if the feared object is rarely encountered (e.g. fear of snakes) and avoidance will not therefore restrict the person’s life very much. At other times (e.g. agoraphobia, social phobia) avoiding the feared situation limits their life severely. Escape and avoidance also make the feared object/situation more frightening.

With some phobias the person may have specific thoughts which add some extra threat to the feared situation. This is particularly true for social phobia where there is often a fear of being negatively evaluated by others. It is also true for agoraphobia when there may be a fear of collapsing and dying with no one around to help, or of having a panic attack and making a fool of oneself in front of other people.

With some phobias there may be accompanying frightening thoughts (this plane might crash; I’m trapped; I must get out). However with other phobias it is more difficult to identify any specific thoughts which could be associated with the anxiety (e.g. it is unlikely that a spider phobic is afraid of making a fool of themselves in front of the spider). With these phobias the cause seems to be explained more as a conditioned (learned) anxiety response which has become associated with the feared object.

Some people have phobias of everyday things that most of us never even notice – e.g. fur, birds, buttons, frogs, hedgehogs, baked beans !!! Some of us have phobias that are easily avoided while but others feel that it is taking over their lives because the object of fear is all around – e.g. birds!

There are three types of phobia :-

AGORAPHOBIA

Agoraphobia is not, as many people believe, just about open spaces. It is really a fear of being in any place or situation where the sufferer does not feel safe or where the sufferer feels trapped, and he/she is driven by an uncontrollable urge to escape to a place of safety which, in most cases, is his/her own home. Taking all these factors into account, it is thus not surprising that sufferers of agoraphobia do not venture very far from home. Some agoraphobics find that they can get further from their place of safety if accompanied by a trusted relative or friend. However, eventually the sufferer becomes totally dependent on their “carer” and thus finds that he/she cannot go out anywhere without their helper. It is thus not surprising that sufferers try to avoid these awful sensations Regrettably by doing so they are only reinforcing their fears and so making recovery much harder. Once a phobia has set in then the best way to overcome it is to slowly but surely face up to the fear. This is not easy as the sufferer has to experience those feelings that for so long he/she has sought to avoid.

SPECIFIC PHOBIAS

Specific phobias are, as the name suggests, ones which centre around specific objects, creatures or situations. The sufferer has a continual and irrational fear of the object, situation or creature, he/she realises that this reaction is illogical but, still feels under threat. However, the sensations of fear which the sufferer experiences are very real and very distressing. Many non-sufferers avoid such things as snakes, spiders, large animals and inanimate objects like edges of railway platforms. However, as a phobia develops, the sufferer will probably avoid pictures, or even saying the name, of his/her particular dreaded object, situation or creature and will almost certainly never go anywhere near them. It is not unknown for carers to have to vet T.V. programmes or cut out articles out of magazines or newspapers in order to protect their sufferer. Thus the sufferer becomes severely handicapped in a similar manner to an agoraphobic.

SOCIAL PHOBIAS

Social phobias are characterised by the fear of being the centre of attention and/or behaving in an embarrassing or humiliating manner. It is fair to say that sufferers in this category rarely, if ever, behave in this manner but they “avoid” just in case. Examples of social phobias would be the avoidance of restaurants, public houses, public toilets, having guests in the house, or even being watched whilst carrying out household chores, e.g. preparing food, pouring drinks or even making a cup of tea.

I will not list all the different types of phobia here. It is a huge list, and even includes the fear of phobias phobophobia. If you wish to browse a list of all of them then visit www.nomorepanic.co.uk/phobialist.htm

The good news is that all these phobias can normally be removed very quickly with hypnotherapy. It may only take one session, if it is not deeply rooted in some emotional trauma from childhood.

Panic disorder is marked by recurrent, spontaneous panic attacks. A panic attack is an intense period of fear or discomfort. During the attack, a person may experience the following symptoms :-

racing heartbeat

difficulty breathing, feeling as though you ‘can’t get enough air’

terror that is almost paralysing

dizziness, light-headedness or nausea

trembling, sweating, shaking

choking, chest pains

hot flushes, or sudden chills

tingling in fingers or toes (‘pins and needles’)

fear that you’re going to go crazy or are about to die

To be diagnosed as a panic attack, four or more symptoms should be present. Otherwise, the attack is described as “limited symptom attack.” Those who experience panic attacks usually describe them as occurring “out of the blue.”

You probably recognize this as the classic ‘fight or flight’ response that human beings experience when we are in a situation of danger. But during a panic attack, these symptoms seem to arise from out of nowhere. They occur in seemingly harmless situations–they can even happen while you are asleep.

Within hypnotherapy we can teach you to control your breathing, heart rate and you will be able to relax at will including at the onset of a panic attack, thus stopping it in its tracks.

If you are on medication, then I will not in any way dissuade you from continuing with that. That is a matter between you and your doctor. My approach is to initially search for any reasons from your past that may have caused this condition (analytical hypnotherapy) and then follow it, as necessary, with cognitive therapy using NLP. This then gradually reduces or eliminates the behavioural problems that you may have, which in turn may make you feel that medication can be reduced or eliminated. By confronting each behaviour and replacing it with something more acceptable to you, we will, together, conquer the depression.

When clients ask how long it will take, I have to say that it will take as long as it takes in the case of depression. Breaking the condition down into its individual components and dealing with them can take some time. You may find that after a few sessions the major elements have been removed and you can deal with the rest yourself.

Now, what exactly is depression?

A depressive disorder is an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with a depressive illness cannot merely “pull themselves together” and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression.

TYPES OF DEPRESSION

Depressive disorders come in different forms, just as is the case with other illnesses such as heart disease. Below is described three of the most common types of depressive disorders. However, within these types there are variations in the number of symptoms, their severity, and persistence.

Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.

A less severe type of depression, dysthymia, involves long-term, chronic symptoms that do not disable, but keep one from functioning well or from feeling good. Many people with dysthymia also experience major depressive episodes at some time in their lives.

The third type of depression is bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness. It is not nearly as prevalent as other forms of depressive disorders, bipolar disorder is characterised by cycling mood changes: severe highs (mania) and lows (depression). Sometimes the mood switches are dramatic and rapid, but most often they are gradual. When in the depressed cycle, an individual can have any or all of the symptoms of a depressive disorder. When in the manic cycle, the individual may be overactive, over-talkative, and have a great deal of energy. Mania often affects thinking, judgement, and social behaviour in ways that cause serious problems and embarrassment. For example, the individual in a manic phase may feel elated, full of grand schemes that might range from unwise business decisions to romantic sprees. Mania, left untreated, may worsen to a psychotic state.

SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION AND MANIA

Not everyone who is depressed or manic experiences every symptom. Some people experience a few symptoms, some many. Severity of symptoms varies with individuals and also varies over time.

Depression

Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood

Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism

Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness

Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including sex

Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down”

Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions

Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping

Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain

Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts

Restlessness, irritability

Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain

Mania

Abnormal or excessive elation

Unusual irritability

Decreased need for sleep

Grandiose notions

Increased talking

Racing thoughts

Increased sexual desire

Markedly increased energy

Poor judgement

Inappropriate social behaviour

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

Some types of depression run in families, suggesting that a biological vulnerability can be inherited. This seems to be the case with bipolar disorder. Studies of families in which members of each generation develop bipolar disorder found that those with the illness have a somewhat different genetic makeup than those who do not get ill. However, the reverse is not true: Not everybody with the genetic makeup that causes vulnerability to bipolar disorder will have the illness. Apparently additional factors, possibly stresses at home, work, or school, are involved in its onset.

In some families, major depression also seems to occur generation after generation. However, it can also occur in people who have no family history of depression. Whether inherited or not, major depressive disorder is often associated with changes in brain structures or brain function.

People who have low self-esteem, who consistently view themselves and the world with pessimism or who are readily overwhelmed by stress, are prone to depression. Whether this represents a psychological predisposition or an early form of the illness is not clear.

In recent years, researchers have shown that physical changes in the body can be accompanied by mental changes as well. Medical illnesses such as stroke, a heart attack, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and hormonal disorders can cause depressive illness, making the sick person apathetic and unwilling to care for his or her physical needs, thus prolonging the recovery period.

Also, a serious loss, difficult relationship, financial problem, or any stressful (unwelcome or even desired) change in life patterns can trigger a depressive episode. Very often, a combination of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors is involved in the onset of a depressive disorder. Later episodes of illness typically are precipitated by only mild stresses, or none at all.

Women experience depression about twice as often as men. Many hormonal factors may contribute to the increased rate of depression in women-particularly such factors as menstrual cycle changes, pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum period, pre-menopause, and menopause. Many women also face additional stresses such as responsibilities both at work and home, single parenthood, and caring for children and for ageing parents.

So, to conclude, I ask you to initially accept yourself as you are now. Acknowledge that you have depression and that you are now going to do something about it and change your life for the better.

When the anxiety seems to be happening far too regularly in situations that do not seem threatening or dangerous, or when there is no reason for an internal ‘gee-up’ then the anxiety may be out of control. If thoughts are turning more to what horrible things might happen, rather than what is most likely to happen, then hypnotherapy can help to calm down these thoughts.

The subconscious part of the brain, which controls emotions like fear, cannot tell the difference between something we are perceiving through our five senses, and something we are imagining, or thinking about. The result is that these thoughts produce some of the same tension or fear response in the body that would occur if those events were really happening. So, we can very easily create unnecessary feelings.

Such thoughts may occupy a sufferer’s attention progressively more of the time. The person may say they “can’t stop worrying” about the problem – even though they know that it is achieving nothing, as he or she has already done everything reasonably possible. To make matters worse, when a person is feeling fearful or uneasy, he or she is likely to notice the physical feelings, which can act as a cue to think again the thoughts that caused the problem in the first place – or even to begin worrying about the symptoms.

So the cause of anxiety is two-fold. A certain way of thinking leads to a fear response in the body, and that physical response or feeling can then generate thoughts that lead to more fear or unease.

Addressing the physical symptoms is usually comparatively straightforward, using stress management techniques and self hypnosis techniques. As a person learns to take control of the level of physical symptoms, so some of the thinking behind them may change as a result. Further work, using hypnosis or other psychotherapy techniques will then enable the client to make permanent changes in the thinking that was the cause.

A person can then become entirely free from excessive anxiety – and clients have frequently commented that the sense of freedom which results has allowed them to get on with enjoying life again and achieving what they choose to achieve.

Panic Disorder is a serious condition that around 1 out of every 75 people might experience. It usually appears during the teens or early adulthood, and while the exact causes are unclear, there does seem to be a connection with major life transitions that are potentially stressful: graduating from college, getting married, having a first child, and so on. There is also some evidence for a genetic predisposition; if a family member has suffered from panic disorder, you have an increased risk of suffering from it yourself, especially during a time in your life that is particularly stressful.

Having confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met, they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.

People who are not confident depend excessively on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to discount or ignore compliments paid to them. By contrast, confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves; they don’t feel they have to conform in order to be accepted.

Confidence is not necessarily a general characteristic which pervades all aspects of a person’s life. Typically, individuals will have some areas of their lives where they feel quite confident, e.g.,academics, athletics, while at the same time they do not feel at all confident in other areas, e.g., personal appearance, social relationships.

Many factors affect the development of confidence. Parents’ attitudes are crucial to children’s feelings about themselves, particularly in children’s early years. When parents provide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are excessively critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are incapable, inadequate, or inferior. However, if parents encourage children’s moves toward self-reliance and accept and love their children when they make mistakes, children will learn to accept themselves and will be on their way to developing confidence.

Surprisingly, lack of confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others, especially parents and society. Friends’ influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings about one’s self. Students in their college years re-examine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly vulnerable to the influence of friends.

Developing Confidence

Emphasize Strengths. Give yourself credit for everything you try. By focusing on what you can do, you applaud yourself for efforts rather than emphasizing end products. Starting from a base of what you should do helps you live within the bounds of your inevitable limitations.

Take Risks. Approach new experiences as opportunities to learn rather than occasions to win or lose. Doing so opens you up to new possibilities and can increase your sense of self-acceptance. Not doing so turns every possibility into an opportunity for failure, and inhibits personal growth.

Use Self-Talk. Use positive self-talk as an opportunity to counter the negative self-talk, like “I’m useless”, “I’ll never be able to do that”, etc. If you catch yourself expecting perfection, remind yourself that you can’t do everything perfectly, that it’s only possible to try to do things and to try to do them well. This allows you to accept yourself while still striving to improve.

Self-Evaluate. Learn to evaluate yourself independently. Doing so allows you to avoid the constant sense of turmoil that comes from relying exclusively on the opinions of others. Focusing internally on how you feel about your own behaviour, work, etc. will give you a stronger sense of self and will prevent you from giving your personal power away to others.

There are numerous techniques at my finger tips to rid you of all these problems relating to confidence, which may include hypnotherapy, NLP and life-coaching.

As more and more people want to stop smoking, realising the health and social benefits of giving up smoking, there can surely be no doubt that to stop smoking, by whatever method, is one of the most worthwhile and desirable goals around.

So, what’s the best way to stop smoking? To help answer this question, the respected scientific publication ‘New Scientist’*, reporting on research carried out on over 70,000 people, proved hypnosis to be the most effective way to give up the smoking habit.

Getting help to stop smoking with hypnotherapy / hypnosis, was found to be 300% as successful as nicotine replacement therapy, and 500% as successful as just will power alone.

Most smokers believe that it is the addiction to nicotine that makes it so hard to stop smoking. In fact, there is no addiction, it is the habit of smoking which can make it so hard to stop. If it were an addiction, then it would not be possible for large numbers of people to stop immediately, as they do through hypnosis.

Think about how many cigarettes might get smoked in 8 hours during the day, and then ask yourself if that person is likely to get up the same number of times during the night to smoke, or need the same number first thing in the morning – to catch up? No? – Then the smoking is driven by habit, NOT addiction.

One of the main reasons that the habit of smoking is so ingrained in the mind, is because the habit is linked to so many situations and events… with the first cup of coffee in the morning, break times at work, after a meal, in situations of stress, social situations… I’m sure you’ll probably be able to identify some of your own.

This is why hypnotherapy can be so effective at helping someone to stop smoking. Help with hypnosis for stop smoking, deals directly with the habitual processes which cause the person to smoke. Hypnosis to help someone quit smoking, doesn’t so much make a person stop smoking, rather, it can remove the desire to smoke.

All that’s needed is a strong and genuine desire to stop that smoking habit. Hypnosis is not a magic wand, and can only help you if you want to help yourself give up the smoking habit. If you come because your partner wants you to stop, then you are probably wasting your money.

My stop smoking hypnotherapy session is a single, one-to-one private session (or a small group), set in a quiet and comfortable environment.

Beginning with taking a short history, it goes on to discuss the general smoking pattern and the individual smoking ‘triggers’, and then moves on to the most relaxing part of the session, the stop smoking hypnosis / hypnotherapy session itself.

These sessions can normally cost up to £250, but click here to see my much lower fee.
