Stuart is now on a mission as the leading ageing expert to spread awareness of how to age well.

Top Five Tips for Overcoming Anxiety - with hypnotherapist Tim Grimwade.

In this special bonus episode, we’ve dug through our archives and recalled this chat we had with, Tim Grimwade back in March this year. 

You may remember Tim back from episode one of our podumentry series What is Anxiety? If you’re a new listener and are working your way through our back catalogue...

Tim is a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist. Now, I’m sure the first thing that comes to mind when you think hypnotist is stage hypnotism and an audience member fallen to the spell of a swinging pocket watch. I can assure you, however, what Tim does in his practice is not the case.

Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy is very much as it sounds, a variation of Cognitive behavioural therapy or you may know as CBT, a technique used by counsellors and psychologists. If you’re not too sure what cognitive behavioural therapy is, it is a way of approaching a patient's way of thinking, to help lead to changes in their emotions and behaviour.

It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems such as phobias or addiction. Which is all very similar to how Tim uses his hypnotherapy techniques.

In this special episode, Tim gives us a taster of some of the common obstacles he’s had to face when treating patients who suffer from anxiety and compiled 5 simple points which everyone can use to ground themselves during anxious moments.

These include:

1. Have you been doing negative self-hypnosis for years?
2. What are your current coping strategies and could they be better?
3. Engage with what drives you. Find your sense of purpose.
4. Aim to be constantly aware of your changing feelings, thoughts and physical sensations.
5. Begin on the path to positive hypnosis.
