Why do panic attacks feel so frightening? 🧠

A racing heart. A tight chest. Feeling dizzy or short of breath.

During a panic attack, your body's fight-or-flight response can become highly activated, even when there isn't an immediate threat.

And when those physical sensations feel frightening, they can fuel a cycle of fear and anxiety.

In the latest Moving Minds Forward episode, Gary Johannes explores what's happening during a panic attack, what can keep the cycle going, and practical approaches that may help.

Swipe through for a simple explanation, then listen to the full episode to learn more. 🎧

Missing out on the treatment you need because of a phobia?

Are you putting off an important trip to the Doctors or Dentist?

Is that worry constantly niggling in the back of your mind?

You're not the only one!

Some medical treatments can seem terrifying and prevent you from seeking the help you need to get better.

Our clients often tell us that they wished they had come to see us sooner so that they could move forward in life without the worry.

Just a few sessions of solution focused hypnotherapy can help you overcome any fears and put that appointment behind you so you can move forward in life with ease.

To find out how hypnotherapy can help you take back control of medical fears get in touch today and book your FREE initial consultation.

Do you start to feel like a grumpy bear as the days get shorter and darker?

Whilst some people enjoy the shift to autumn, others might be missing the warmer days of summer.

But for those living with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the impact of the change of seasons can be much more serious.

Symptoms of SAD often include:

• Sudden weight changes
• Low mood
• Loss of interest in usual activities
• Comfort food cravings
• Negative outlook
• Aches and pains
• Disturbed sleep
• Prolonged fatigue

SAD, and the milder “Winter Blues”, affects around 2 million people in the UK.

So, what exactly is SAD? How can you tell if you have it? And what can be done to feel better? 💜

In this blog we look at these questions and how hypnotherapy can help:

Ever get into bed feeling tired, only to find you're suddenly wide awake? 🌙

A bedtime routine doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes, it's the small things you do before getting into bed that can help you settle down for the night.

📱 Take a break from scrolling.

📖 Make time for something relaxing.

🕰️ Try to keep a consistent sleep schedule.

You don't need to change everything at once. Start with one habit that feels realistic for you.

💬 What's one thing that helps you wind down in the evening?

Inspired by our blog, Top Tips for a Good Night's Sleep. Read the whole thing here: https://inspiredtochange.biz/blogs/top-tips-for-a-good-nights-sleep/

"The purpose of our lives is to be happy"

This might seem like a meaningless cliche but there is actually hard science to back up the benefits of happiness and the impact it has on the rest of the world.

When we are happy our brain is flooded with feel good hormones like serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin. These all make us feel good in the moment but they also have huge benefit to our brains ability to function at it's best.

When we have these chemicals in our brain it works faster, it's better at problem solving, it's more creative in the solutions it finds, as well as being more motivated to carry out our solutions.

So when we are happy and flooding our brain with these positive chemicals it means that whatever task or purpose we are working towards our brain is supporting us to do it at it's best.

And when we are working at our best everyone around us feels the benefit!

So it is well worth cultivating happiness in our lives as a way of achieving success in whatever our life's purpose is :-)

Do you ever sit down to relax… and immediately feel like you should be doing something? 👀

Sometimes we're technically resting, but mentally we're still thinking about the next job, the unfinished task or what we should be doing.

In this episode of Moving Minds Forward, Gary explores why switching off can feel so difficult — and why relaxation is something we may need to practise rather than something we're automatically able to do.

🎙️ Why You Can't Switch Off

Tired of masking? You're not alone.

In this blog, Madi from Inspired To Change Tunbridge Wells, explores the hidden impact that masking neurodivergent traits can have, drawing on both her professional experience and her own lived experience of ADHD and autism,

Madi looks at why masking can become an automatic way of navigating social situations, relationships and work, and how the constant effort of monitoring and changing yourself can contribute to stress, overwhelm and burnout.

Madi also explores what it can mean to start unmasking, and why this doesn’t necessarily mean stopping every behaviour that could be considered masking.

Instead, it’s about having more choice over when you use these strategies, creating a safe space to be yourself and finding ways to feel more comfortable with who you are.

Can't get to sleep at night?

Still tired in the morning?

Would you love to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and restored and ready for your day?

I often hear my clients telling me that they just aren’t great sleepers, and they are always surprised when I tell them it doesn’t have to be that way!

1 in 3 of us don't get enough sleep. But it's not just about the amount of sleep we get, it's about the quality of sleep we get too.

We do two things when we sleep - we restore our minds and our bodies. But if our sleep patterns are out of whack our sleep is no longer restorative and mental and physical exhaustion sets in.

But the good news is a few sessions of solution focused hypnotherapy can improve your sleep patterns helping you to feel refreshed , restored and ready to enjoy your day!

To find out how hypnotherapy can help you feel rested and refreshed every morning, get in touch today and book your FREE initial consultation.

“But what if I don’t believe in hypnotherapy?” 👀

It's a question Gary hears from people who are curious about hypnotherapy but aren't quite convinced.

His answer? You don't have to believe. You just have to be willing to take part.

Many people arrive feeling sceptical — and that's okay. You don't need to force yourself to believe something before you walk through the door.

🎙️ Here's Gary's take.

When you hear “move more”, do you immediately think exercise? 🏃

Movement doesn't have to mean a gym session, a run or hitting a certain number of steps.

Small amounts of natural movement throughout the day count too — getting up from your desk, stretching, walking while you're on the phone or stepping outside for a few minutes.

Our ITC blog explores why movement matters for your mental wellbeing and some simple ways to build more of it into everyday life.

How do you naturally get movement into your day? 👇

Being a hypnotherapist doesn't mean you have to figure everything out alone. 💙

Working independently can sometimes feel isolating — even when you're confident in what you do.

That's why supervision isn't just somewhere to go when you have a problem. It's a space to reflect, learn from others, build confidence and stay connected to a professional community.

Inspired to Change offers flexible online group supervision for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists, led by Level 5 qualified supervisors and CPHT lecturers. Sessions are available across different days and times, with ongoing peer support between sessions.

Practise with clarity. Grow with confidence.
