"Anxiety runs in my family."

If I had a pound for every time someone had said this to me in session...I wouldn't be rich, but I'd have about I'd have a good few hundred pounds more than I do right now.

It's easy to assume that if we've witnessed members of our family, particularly our parents exhibiting signs of high anxiety then the reason we also suffer has some kind of genetic origin.

Surely it must have been passed down.
This must be hereditary.

However, the truth isn't quite that simple...and it's a lot more encouraging than perceiving any high anxiety as something you're congenitally locked into.

In this week's video over on my trusty YouTube channel I break down the true origins of anxiety and explain why it isn't the life sentence we thought it was when we found out that Mum and Dad also had this!

I'll put the link in the comments below and I hope you find the video of interest.

TRAIN WITH ME THIS MONTH!

Most of you know me for the work I do helping clients overcome anxiety issues.
I've been doing it now for nearly 15 years.
I wrote a book about my work.
I gave a TEDx talk about it.

However, something not everyone knows is that I also train people in the way I work.

The method is called The CONTROL System.

I called it this because it's one of the fastest and most effective ways of putting people back in control of their own mental health and emotional wellbeing.

My next training is about to start at the end of May and I have a few spaces left for anyone that wants to help others change their life for the better.

You don't need to have any previous background in therapy or hypnosis...I'll train you from the ground up.

If you're interested in finding out more then DM me or email me here:
[email protected]

If you've wondered what it would be like to be able to change the lives of others in a way you never thought possible then get in touch.

You won't regret it.

You Don't Have Anxiety.

You might think you do.
You might have been told that you do.

But you don't.

The last time I put up a video on this topic it ruffled some feathers...which as those that know me will attest, is not something I generally set out to do.

However, there's no sugar coating the fact that most of the clients I see are struggling mainly because they have misinterpreted their uncomfortable physical sensations as signs of an anxiety condition rather than what they actually are.

My latest YouTube video revisits this topic, and this time I've added something that every person that believes they suffer with anxiety NEEDS TO KNOW.

I'll put the link in the comments. Feel free to share this one. It's kind of important.

If you're one of the many people currently using AI as a therapist then there's something you should know...

Yes, it helps!

Studies are in and they show that 90% of young people using AI chatbots as a therapist to help deal with anxiety and depression are reporting feeling better as a result of their interactions.

The problem?

The evidence suggests it might not be safe.

In my latest video I explore the ways AI trains YOUR responses and influences YOUR mental health...both good AND bad.

If you're using AI as a therapist? You'll want to watch this.
If you're a parent? You'll want to watch this.
If you interact with AI on a daily basis? You'll want to watch this.

What Anxiety Recovery ACTUALLY Looks Like...

If you’re trying to recover from an anxiety issue, you’re probably imagining some kind of magical moment:

A breakthrough...
A release...
A morning where you wake up and think, “That’s it. I’m fixed.”

But what if recovery doesn’t look dramatic at all?

What if...contrary to all your expectations...recovery is something you don't even notice.

One of the principles I talk about with clients is this:
Innocence → Experience → Understanding.

We all start in innocence. We feel relatively calm, not because we’re stronger, but because we haven’t yet been shaken by life in a way that makes us question ourselves.

Then comes experience. Something happens. Anxiety ramps up. And eventually we stop worrying about life… and start worrying about how anxious we feel.
That’s when the anxiety loop begins: I feel anxious and I then get anxious about feeling that way.

Most people I see have been spending a lot of time and energy trying to go backwards...back to how they felt before anxiety became the big bad thing.

But unfortunately, time only travels in one direction and we can't simply undo what we've experienced.

But the good news is that recovery isn’t about going backwards.

It’s about moving forwards into a place of understanding.

Understanding that anxiety is not a malfunction...
Not a life sentence...
Not something that needs constant monitoring.

And here’s the interesting part: when you reach understanding, life starts to look surprisingly similar to innocence again.

Not because anxiety has vanished forever.

But because you’ve stopped looking for it.

In this week’s video on my YouTube channel, I explain exactly what recovery really looks like...and why you probably won’t even notice the moment it happens.

I'll put the link in the description.

FREE Online Event This Saturday!

Over the years, I’ve had a lot of conversations with hypnotherapists who’ve said some version of:

“I’m trained, I’m seeing clients…
…but I’m not always sure of my process.”

Not because they lack skill.
And not because they need more techniques.

Usually, it’s because something about how they’re thinking about their work hasn’t quite settled yet.

So I’m running a free online taster session introducing the CONTROL System, for hypnotherapists who are curious about a clearer, calmer way of working with clients.

This isn’t a full training and it’s not about memorising protocols.
It’s an opportunity to:
• Get a feel for how the CONTROL System works
• Understand what makes it different from technique-led approaches
• See whether this way of working resonates with you

🕒 It’s a free 1–2 hour online session
🎯 Designed as an intro / taster, not a deep dive
👥 Ideal for hypnotherapists who want clarity, not more complexity

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “nearly there” but still second-guessing yourself at times, this session may help things click.

It's all happening this Saturday (7th Feb) UK time

👉 You can register for the free session here:

If it’s for you, you’ll probably feel that quite quickly.

So…here’s something interesting I’ve noticed over the years when talking to trained hypnotherapists.

Most don’t struggle because they lack techniques.
They struggle because, at times, they’re still unsure of their process.

They’ve done the training.

They’re seeing clients.

But sessions can still feel harder than expected, and there’s that quiet internal question of:

“Am I doing this right?”

They train in additional techniques thinking this will fill their knowledge gap.
But their knowledge was never the problem…it was their faith in themselves to know what to do in REAL sessions with REAL people.

If that resonates, I’m running a free live online seminar on Thursday for trained hypnotherapists where I’ll be talking about:

• Why this uncertainty is so common
• Why more techniques don’t usually resolve it
• And what actually helps client work feel calmer and more settled

This isn’t a technique-heavy training and it’s not aimed at existing CONTROL Practitioners who already know this stuff.

It’s a reflective, practical conversation for hypnotherapists who want their work to feel clearer and more reliable.

🗓️ Free live Zoom seminar:
Thursday 15th January at 10am UK time

👉There are limited spaces on this one so you’ll need to register for a place. I’ll put the link in the comments.
