"Shy bladder syndrome, medically known as paruresis, is a condition that inhibits an individual’s ability to urinate in public or when others are nearby. This often misunderstood condition affects a significant portion of the population, leading to social anxiety and limitations in daily life. At its core, shy bladder is not just a physical issue but predominantly a psychological one, where the mind’s perceptions and fears play a crucial role. In this blog, we explore how self-hypnosis for shy bladder management could be a game changer if you’re currently living with this issue."

"When it comes to therapy, a common hurdle many face is translating intellectual understanding into tangible action. Individuals often enter therapy with the hope that insights gained in sessions will automatically translate into changed behaviors and improved well-being. However, the journey from intellectual comprehension to practical application – from reading to doing, from knowing to practicing – is where the real transformation occurs. This blog explores the crucial aspect of applying therapy insights and offers practical strategies to effectively bridge this gap."

"Loneliness is not just a fleeting feeling; it’s a pervasive epidemic that has been silently affecting our society for decades. Described as the subjective sense of being less connected to others than we desire, loneliness varies greatly from physical isolation. You can feel lonely in a bustling city, within a marriage, or even in a crowd. Conversely, solitude can be blissful for someone alone on a mountaintop. This blog explores the depths of loneliness, its causes, and how we can navigate through this invisible epidemic to assist in overcoming loneliness."

Release Hypnosis is celebrating an anniversary today; 10 years of being on social media!

While Release Hypnosis is hitting 11 years in a few months time, our social media wasn't taking seriously until nearly a year after we opened our doors.

For those who don't follow Release Hypnosis on social media, it would do me a huge favour if you did. I post content almost every day of the year, and most of it is (hopefully) insightful content around psychology and mental health which either you can use or help those you care about.

"In an era where constant activity and productivity are highly valued, the concept of ‘doing nothing’ seems counterintuitive. However, there’s a profound importance in understanding and embracing the right kind of inaction.

When it comes to achieving success, having the right attitude is key. But what is the difference between a positive and negative expectancy mindset? Both mindsets will influence your behavior and determine your success, so it’s important to understand their differences.

A positive expectancy mindset is one in which you believe that you can succeed. This type of thinking allows you to focus on the possible outcomes of your efforts and see success as a viable option. You’re open to new ideas, willing to take risks, and eager to learn and grow. With a positive expectancy mindset, you’re much more likely to take the necessary steps to reach your desired outcome.

On the other hand, a negative expectancy mindset is one in which you expect failure. This mindset can be crippling, as it prevents you from taking any chances and stifles your creativity. You become so preoccupied with the potential for failure that you’re unable to think positively and take necessary steps towards success.

Ultimately, the difference between a positive and negative expectancy mindset is all about attitude. Having a positive attitude is essential for achieving success, and it starts with believing in yourself and your abilities. With a positive expectancy mindset, you’re more likely to take risks and put in the effort needed to reach your goals.

"When in therapy, particularly when addressing habitual behaviors and addictions, a critical question often comes up: “Who are you making this change for?” This question is more than a mere inquiry; it’s a gateway to understanding the depth of one’s commitment to transformation. As a therapist at Release Hypnosis, I’ve observed that when change is motivated by external factors – be it family, partners, or societal pressures – the journey towards lasting change becomes fraught with challenges. This blog explores the pivotal role of personal commitment in therapy for change, especially in the context of habitual behaviors and addiction."
