The GYST of It - Anxiety and Self-Confidence Advice, Guides and Conversations

In this episode I'll be teaching you 3 different ways in you can deal with intrusive thoughts:

1) Identify, Accept, Redirect

2) A mindfulness approach

3) Socratic Questioning

No one approach is better than the other, it's a case of trying each one out and seeing what works best for you.

If you suffer with recurrent, intrusive or otherwise unhelpful thoughts then this video has been made specifically for someone just like you. Our thoughts control how we feel so if we can learn to control our thoughts we can learn to control how we feel.

We examine how to identify thoughts, how thoughts are not facts and I give an "in therapy" example of how Socratic Questioning works.

If you're feeling overwhelmed right now then this will calm you down in minutes.

This episode has been designed specifically for overthinkers, people who suffer with panic attacks and those who can be overwhelmed by their thoughts.

There's no fluff, introduction or waffle we get straight into calming you down in a way which actually work even, or perhaps especially, if your mind is racing.

We start off with a grounding exercise to bring your mind into the present whilst simultaneously keeping your brain nice and busy with a task to complete - it's all very simple.

Once your brain is a little more relaxed we then move into a breathing exercise that will calm it even further.

Overcoming phobias can seem like a pretty daunting thing to do, the problem being that the longer the fear goes on the worse it tends to become.

Your fear may then get to the point where you seek therapy in some form or other to help overcome it.

This has been a very typical scenario for clients I’ve seen for professional hypnotherapy sessions to overcome a whole range of fears from arachnophobia to fears of flying and the more unique ones as well.

People will have been coping with the fear for years, perhaps noticing a slow decline and then they will reach a tipping point, it might not be a drastic event, it’s just that they suddenly just become utterly fed up of having the fear. There are things that most people with phobias tend to do which is actually making their fear worse, so I’ve made a list of the 6 things that you should stop doing if you want to overcome a phobia.

So, you've matched with someone! 

Congratulations, how ridiculously exciting is that? 

Chances are that you probably swiped on them or messaged them because you were into them for a good reason, the chances are they matched with you for similarly good reasons - remember that moving forwards.  

In this final part we're going to be discussing: 

- Why sweating the first message gets you nowhere 

- Why you should not only give people respect but also demand that same level of respect back again 

- The importance of honesty, yes HONESTY! 

- Keeping things light and breezy 

- Being Patient 

- Moving Away from App Chatting 

- How to deal with unwanted content you receive 

- How you're not the only one and they probably aren't either

Modern dating is an emotional minefield. 

This series will provide you with my top tips to keep yourself from going crazy, getting hurt, getting used whilst still feeling as if you're being yourself.  

In this introduction I talk about the importance of Control, Acceptance and Integrity.  

- You'll hear why it's important to understand that you're only ever in control of your thoughts and your actions. 

- I'll give you the cold hard truth of the world you're entering into by using modern dating apps and how it's different.  

- And why I think it is important for you to act with honesty and integrity when you're in the modern dating world.  

Look out for the next two parts of the video series, the next part is keeping mentally healthy before you've even matched and the final part talks about what to do once you've matched with someone.  I want to be clear that this is not dating advice, it's not about how to be attractive, it isn't about the rules of dating, it is about developing a healthy mindset towards modern dating, protecting yourself from hurt whilst still being you.
