FEARS – Future Events Appearing Real!

We are born with 2 basic fears – the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. All other fears are learned either from experience or from what we see, hear, learn from our environment and people within it – siblings, peers, parents, teachers etc. Who isn’t scared of something that a sibling or friend has told us to be afraid of? Ghosts? Monsters under the bed? Witches? Haunted houses? Stepping on the cracks in the pavement?

But fear is essential for our survival. It is appropriate to be afraid of fire if it is out of control, water if we cannot swim, heights if there is a risk of us falling, unexpected noises in the night or anything else that puts our safety at risk. If we were totally fearless, we would probably not survive long. However, being too fearful can make life a challenge as we will stay within our comfort zone and never enjoy the rewards of being adventurous.

Fear can hold us back from reaching our full potential if it is out of control and/or unfounded and this is where hypnotherapy and NLP comes in – to help the client take back control on move past the fear.

Whether the fear is of something physical or emotional; fear of flying, fear of driving, fear of exams, fear of needles or blood; fear of failure, fear of success, fear of abandonment, we can help by reprogramming the subconscious mind to let go of the fear, permanently. Using regression techniques, the therapist can take a client back to the age where they first encountered the situation that triggered the fear but lacked the ability to rationalise and respond in an appropriate way. By creating an environment where they can feel safe, loved, protected and reassured, the client can rewrite history, formulate a different and preferable story and response, enabling the client to take back control and move on.

Phobias

A phobia is a persistent fear of an object, person or situation which the sufferer goes to great lengths to avoid, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often described as irrational. It is not an illness. It is not a mental disorder. Nor is it a lack of will-power or 'moral fibre'.

A phobia can make one's life miserable, cause embarrassment and undermine self-confidence and self-esteem.

Someone who is phobic will often agree that it's a silly response, but they cannot seem to avoid it. They are quite aware that, while there may be some rational basis for their fear, it is largely irrational.

Here is a list of some common phobias – there are many more!

• Acrophobia: Fear of heights • Agoraphobia: Fear of open spaces, crowds or leaving a safe place • Ailurophobia: Fear of cats • Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders • Atychiphobia: Fear of failure • Aviophobia: Fear of flying • Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns • Cynophobia: Fear of dogs • Gamophobia: Fear of marriage • Mysophobia: Fear of germs or dirt • Nyctophobia: Fear of the dark or of night • Ophidiophobia/Herpetophobia: Fear of snakes • Ornithophobia: Fear of birds • Pyrophobia: Fear of fire • Thanatophobia or Thantophobia: Fear of death or dying • Xanthophobia: Fear of the colour yellow

Using the power of hypnosis and imagination, we reprogram the subconscious mind to visualise a healthy, positive reaction to the perceived threat thereby avoiding the phobic response. Call today so that you or someone you love can finally experience a wonderful sense of freedom from the unwelcome and crippling symptoms of unwarranted fears and phobias.

Emotional Eating

Do you find yourself turning to food for comfort, when angry, lonely, bored or down? Do you raid the fridge or order a takeaway to reward yourself at the end of a stressful day? If the answer is yes, you might also notice that you are not reaching for broccoli but sweets, snacks, junk food. We can help you put an end to this perpetual cycle of emotional eating, weight gain and feelings of guilt, remorse and helplessness. For more information about our Emotional Eating therapy or what emotional eating is, check out our blog section or contact Tessa directly for a complimentary introductory consultation.

Sleep Issues & Insomnia

Are you struggling with broken sleep patterns? Are you unable to get to sleep even though you feel exhausted? Are you waking up feeling like you haven’t had any sleep at all? If so, the first thing we would recommend is to stop worrying. Worry triggers off adrenalin and no one can sleep with adrenalin telling your body to get up and run or fight!! One of the biggest complaints we have from clients is that they keep falling asleep whilst we are doing hypnosis with them or they are listening to our hypnosis tracks! Let us explain what you can do and give you tips and suggestions as to how to develop good sleep habits and get you sleeping like a baby within as little as two sessions.

IBS

If you suffer with IBS or any other inflammatory bowel condition, you will know that it is always worse when you are stressed. So, if we can help you to reduce your stress levels using hypnosis, the severity and frequency of IBS flare ups will quickly decrease. We will explain to you how and why hypnosis will help you to take control of this painful and restrictive issue and get your life back on track.

Autoimmune Disease

Whichever of the many autoimmune diseases you are struggling with, help is to hand. 100 years ago, no one had heard of autoimmune disease because it is all as a result of diet, stress levels, pollution, chemicals and preservatives in our food and many other aspects of modern-day life. Contact us and let us steer you away from what is challenging your immune system and creating the problem and point you towards a happier, healthier and more acceptable way of life. Contact Anna or Tessa to find out which program is for you and to find out more details about the programs and our amazing VGB App:

Pain Management

Pain is our body’s way of telling us something is wrong, and we should not ignore it. But, if your know the source of the pain and now want to be able to reduce the severity and impact of the pain on your life, we will show you how you can manage the pain using hypnosis. Hypnosis has been successfully used to help with pain from burn dressing removal, chronic pain, migraine, toothache, back pain, labour pains, phantom limb pain and many other sources of pain. It has even been used to enable major surgery to be performed without a general anesthetic! Why not let hypnosis help you to enjoy a life free from pain?

Menopause

How can hypnosis help with the symptoms of the menopause? How can hypnosis stop me sweating at night? How can hypnosis stop me from embarrassing hot flushes and mood swings? At Mind Solutions, we didn’t believe it was possible either. But by using hypnosis to reduce your stress levels from every-day life challenges, enabling you to relax and enjoy life more, your endocrine system will be able to focus it’s resources on producing the hormones you need to get you to the other side of the menopause without all those exhausting and embarrassing symptoms.

Relationship Issues

The most common cause of relationship struggles is the breakdown in communication. At Mind Solutions, we help our clients to break down the walls and open up the dialogue between the parties and show them that there are always two sides to a story and that communication is about understanding what is going on and not always about wanting to be right. It is also about remembering why the relationship started in the first place and deciding whether the relationship is worth fighting for or if it is time to acknowledge the relationship has run its course and that it is possible to part amicably without destroying each other in the process. If you are struggling and need help, contact us and we will help you to restore balance and harmony in your life

Childhood & Teenage Issues

As a parent, it can be hard to admit that your child needs help. Perhaps you have been hoping that you can deal with it at home and that it’s just a phase. In the US, a recent study showed that more one in 20 children and teens is suffering from depression and/or anxiety and certainly, the Pandemic has had devastating effect on their mental health.

At Mind Solutions, we are all parents and have experience of engaging children and teenagers into an age-appropriate, professional and reassuring dialogue to help them to feel comfortable expressing their feelings, fears and issues in a positive and safe environment. We also offer Parent Empowerment consultations to equip parents with communication tools and techniques to help support their child through difficult times.

If your child is demonstrating or complaining of any of the following signs, let us help before whatever they are struggling with starts to impact their health and future well-being:

• Sleep issues

• Stress

• Anger

• Irritation

• Moodiness

• Bed-wetting

• Nail biting

• Detaching from social groups

• Spending too much time on technology

• A shift achievement at school, or concentration

• A decreased interest in their activities

• Sudden weight loss, or weight gain

Fertility Issues & IVF Success

FERTILITY ISSUES & IVF SUCCESS For those needing support with conceiving or going through infertility issues, we offer emotional and empowering therapy and support. Emotional stress, pressure and worries are common throughout this time, with many women saying that their body no longer feels like their own. Additionally, infertility processes can be clinical and disheartening. Talking with a trained professional can help clients to stay on track with their goal and remain positive. If you are struggling to get pregnant or even just worried that you might struggle, Tessa is experienced and available to reassure you and give you the very best chance of welcoming the baby you deserve into this world.

Grief & Bereavement

Grief is a natural and essential process we go through when coming to term with loss. However, the feelings can be intense and overwhelming and may last from a few days to a few years. Grief is not always about loss of a loved one. It can be over a lost relationship, a still-born child, a terminated pregnancy, a lost pet, a lost job, lost mobility, lost opportunity, lost status. We will help you to accept the reality of the loss, work through the pain and adjust to life without whatever you have lost as soon as possible without feeling guilty, resentful or angry.

Addictive Behaviours

• Are you drinking too much alcohol?

• Are you addicted to sugar and chocolate?

• Are you constantly on your phone or binge watching Netflix?

• Are you struggling with gambling or gaming addiction?

• Do you exercise too hard or work too long hours?

• Is your addiction impacting your life, relationship, job, health?

Whatever it is you are struggling with, the first thing to know is that you are not alone. Around the world, millions of people wake up feeling that they cannot face life without their crutch, despite the damage it is causing to their family, relationships, career, finance, health. No matter how hopeless you feel or scary it sounds to address this issue, we will help you free yourself from the addiction, rebuild your self-respect and enable you to open the door to the life you deserve.

Addictions and Addictive Behaviours are seldom about what the person is addicted to but about how it makes them feel when they are taking or using or do the behaviour. Addiction usually has developed because of something that is missing in the person’s life whether that is security, love, a sense of belonging, self-belief, self-confidence or even goals, challenges, a sense of achievement or sense of purpose and the addictive behaviour fills that gap.

Let us help you put back the meaning and joy in your life, help you get back in touch with your own identity and give you the tools and support you need to set yourself free once and for all.

Confidence, Motivation & Performance Issues

• Does the thought of speaking in public fill you with dread?

• Are you terrified of examinations?

• Does anxiety stop you from being the best version of yourself in interviews?

• Would you love to overcome your fears so that you can excel in what you love to do eg sport, singing, dancing, writing etc?

• Does the idea of meeting someone new or dating someone make you shake at the knees?

• Would you love to start your own business but are scared you may fail?

These are just a few of the many fears that hold us back from reaching our full potential in life and the only thing that is holding you back is what you are telling yourself and your ego’s determination to keep you in your comfort zone to avoid the pain and anguish of failure. Let us show you how to overcome these old outdated limiting beliefs and reactions and allow you to flourish and excel!! We will help you to visualise a future you can be proud of and empower you to take that first vital step towards success!
