Welcome to The Reducing Anxiety with CBT Mini-Course with myself Chris Piercy from GYST Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching.  

If you're watching and haven't signed up for the free course then you can do so here: https://gystcoaching.co.uk/free-cbt-course

In this introductory video I’m going to be telling you what CBT is, the theory behind it, give you some examples of how it is used in day-to-day life, talk about the advantages of it, talk about when it might not be helpful before finishing off by giving you your very first exercise.

Karma eh?

If the nicest person you’ve ever met whose had an impossibly hard life won the lottery you’d probably say that there was no-one more deserving of it

And if someone who liked putting kittens on train tracks to watch them die got hit by a train you probably wouldn’t say they deserved what they got. But you might well think it (I’m not judging you.)

I think that as humans it can be quite nice for us to see “bad things” happening to “bad people” and “good things” happening to “good people.”

Please excuse the overuse of “ in that sentence.

The problem is that it simply doesn’t happen that way at all.

One of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever met, who I knew basically my whole life was struck down with oesophageal cancer. Died 30+ years too soon.

Sadly I’m sure you can easily think of times where life has been wholly cruel to someone genuinely wonderful.

Bad things happen, good things happen, this is irrespective of the saintliness of a person. Put simply there is no such thing as people deserving life’s events.

But this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be a good person because good stuff can happen to good people.

Why is it that some people are completely chilled about dating, others overanalyse every interaction and message, and there are others who seem to deliberately sabotage what seem like perfectly reasonable dating opportunities?

The answer is very simple - these different sets of people have different “attachment styles”.

Attachment is the emotional bond that forms in us in early childhood but there is also evidence to suggest that people are genetically predisposed to becoming a particular attachment style.

This emotional bond unconsciously sets out the patterns which later become the core of how our adult relationships are based - both in romance and friendship.

The 4 attachment styles are as follows:

People do not have to be necessarily pigeon-holed into one style and some people’s attachment style can vary depending on the attachment style of the person with whom the relationship is with.

It is important to understand also that attachment styles are stable but plastic, this means that they will not wildly fly all over the place but also they can be trained to become more secure.

It might be the case that just by seeing the headlines of the styles you feel you know which category you fit into but let me give you the low-down on what might be typical romantic relationship traits of someone from each style.

Communicating effectively is vital in all aspects of life and when disagreement comes along it tends to get worse rather than better.

Ex-magician and now public speaker Lee Warren delivers engaging and amusing talks on how to communicate better and how to get people on your side, this flows through all aspects of life whether it be arguments on Facebook or disagreements in the home.

Unsurprisingly Lee was a wonderful guest, ridiculously easy to communicate with and funny to boot.

Bring with you a pen and pencil to write all of the books that Lee recommends you read!

Getting rejected sucks, doesn't it?

It always tends to feel like a rejection of us, us as a person, there's something wrong with us, they're right, we're wrong, what's wrong with us?

But this isn't actually the case, rejection across our lives comes in all different shapes and sizes and whilst very occasionally it might be an "us" thing, it is usually a "them" thing - it's their opinion and they are entitled to that.

In this episode of The GYST of It Podcast I talk about why rejection stings so much, how to make it sting less in the future and a whole host of reasons that the rejection maybe entirely different to how you view it.

In short the best way to deal with rejection is to accept yourself in the first place.

Compliments are so hard to take, right?

Wrong.

It's a simple case of saying "thank you" or "I appreciate you saying that" or if you're really pushing the boat out...both!

So, why is it that people find compliments so hard to take?

In this episode I talk about this and how to make taking compliments easier.

Whether you think you're being lied to a lot, are guilty of letting porky pies slip out your mouth or struggle to even be honest with yourself and your own feelings then you're in the right place.  

In this episode of The GYST of It Podcast I dive in on all things honesty.  In truth this came about from a situation I faced in my own life where, when pressed by my life coach, I realised I was feeling bad about it because I wasn't being honest with my own feelings and therefore they had to be let out.  

Regardless of the reason you're coming at this episode I think you'll take something useful away.
