Why is HR so stressful? How Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy can help

At its root, HR stress is often caused by one simple thing. You’re always being pulled in different directions. Talent comes and moans and complains to you. You’re answerable to senior management - and when the two are incompatible: Boom! You’re the perfect storm. HR leaders are uniquely placed inside daily operations to see and […]

Hypnotherapy for business owners

When it’s going well it’s a great feeling. You love working for yourself, being the boss, you don’t want others telling you what to do, the straight jacket of the corporate world. On the other hand, there’s cash flow to manage, marketing your value, making the sales funnel work, the competition, and the head-scratching thought […]

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnosis for time management

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnosis for loneliness

We live in an ever-more connected world. We can call, face time and text. But we’re lonelier than ever. We work online from home, shop online, there are fewer buses to help us get out, we meet fewer people, bump into fewer people for a chat, we bank online rather than in branch. Even at […]

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnosis and National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health problem you may develop after experiencing traumatic events. The condition was first recognised in war veterans. It has had different names in the past, such as 'shell shock', but it's not only diagnosed in soldiers. In fact, a wide range of traumatic experiences can cause PTSD: being […]

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnosis for a dopamine detox - or not

Dopamine - what is it? Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter. Your body makes it to send messages between nerve cells. That's why it's sometimes called a chemical messenger. It plays a role in how we feel pleasure. We LOVE it. And what’s detoxing? Detoxing is seen as abstaining from or ridding the body of […]
