Insomnia, Sleep Issues , Misophonia
Client referral posted today ,
" Great, and effective hypnotherapist. Stuarts techniques really work and will change you're life for the better.
Hi my name is Neil. I came across Stuart Downing when I found myself seeking out hypnotherapy to treat problems I was having with my sleep due to living next door to previous neighbours who were very noisy and whom had kept me awake. Thankfully, after a couple of months, the neighbours had moved on, but unfortunately as a result, I developed an anxiety about getting to sleep, which in turn lead to me developing an insomnia which was caused by the anxiety. I had also developed Misophonia as a result, and had become hypersensitive to certain noises, such as any bangs or thuds. Even though the neighbours had left, my anxiety still persisted, which only caused me even more anxiety as I couldnt understand why I just couldnt relax as I knew the neighbours were no longer there. It got too the point where the anxiety around my sleep was so bad, that it really started to have a profound effect on my life. I felt I couldnt enjoy life anymore, I just wasnt happy. I had felt like I had lost the ability to relax, as a result it really started to effect my relationships with my family as I just wasnt me anymore, so to speak. Thats when I knew I had to do something as I felt it was destroying my life. I researched hypnotherapy. I was curious as to how it worked, and researched whether or not it would be beneficial for the issues that I was going through. I sought out a few hypnotherapists, thats when I came across Stuart Downing. I did my research on him, and discovered that he could treat issues around sleep/anxiety. I read his reviews, which were all positive. I booked a consultation with Stuart, who was very friendly and reassuring and explained how hypnotherapy worked and the methods he was going to deploy in helping to heal me. In the consultation, Stuart told me that I would only require three to four sessions at the most, which I was surprised about to be honest, as I felt so afflicted by my issues. What can I say? Well, after just one session, I already noticed a vast improvement in my sleep quality. I was sleeping longer and deeper, and waking up totally refreshed. Over the last few weeks of the sessions , my sleep and anxiety has just got better and better. I feel much less anxious, and lot more relaxed, like a weight has been lifted. I am so glad that I decided to invest in the sessions with Stuart, and would recommend it to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy. Stuart helped me learn that a lot of fear is irrational and totally unnessacary, and that I can rationalise with myself that I do not need to feel that fear. I have also learnt extremely effective relaxation techniques, which have really helped me. I f I ever experience any difficulties in the future, I will be sure to utilise these techniques. So, if you have any issue that is effecting you to the point where it is having a profound effect on you're life, then I would highly recommend that you book yourself a consultation with Stuart Downing, it can and will change you're life!

Does striving for academic perfection cause eating disorders?
Academic pressure has been linked to eating disorders in teenagers. Studies have found that the incredibly high pressure on teenagers to achieve in the academic arena may trigger eating disorders with female students being the most vulnerable.
Pressure can come from several areas resulting in teenagers seeking some sort of outlet. The outlet that is selected isn’t always the healthiest or most constructive. Society, schools, and parents can all create pressure on teenagers to do well academically. These three groups can pressure an individual to aim for perfection, which is an impossible task.
The competition for places in college, university, and/or the workforce has led to a greater degree of pressure. Striving for academic perfection can result in negative forces applied to a teenager’s mental health.
The fight for perfection
A lot of parents put pressure on their kids to achieve perfection in their academic careers. Whether it be perfection in the classroom or on a school sports team, young people can feel weighed down and suffocated by the pressure. Many parents that ask for perfection from their children were not perfect in their academic years. Nor are they perfect as grown-ups making their desire for flawless academic work to be hypocritical.
Failure is used to describe someone that has not succeeded. However, the word is thrown around all too often leaving teenagers feeling like success and failure in life are black and white. There are grey areas in life and simply being imperfect is not the be all, end all to success.
Academic success and anxiety
Striving for academic success can build anxiety in teenage students. As a young person moves through high school, the pressure to do well increases. They may want to obtain a university scholarship, certain test score to get into a prestigious university, or do well on an interview to land an internship. The pressure to achieve these items can build anxiety.
Perfectionism in childhood can produce eating disorders as individuals grow older. A person’s life can be greatly altered by striving for perfectionism. They do not know how to deal with the stress and anxiety, and thus have a poor relationship with food as the outcome. Mental health issues can result and these can be life-endangering. Eating disorders can also be life-long and as the teenager becomes an adult, become greater due to even more pressure being experienced.
The link between perfectionism and eating disorders
There is a misconception that eating disorders develop because an individual wants to lose weight. An eating disorder doesn’t always come out of someone seeking to drop a few pounds. Perfectionism in academia and eating disorders demonstrate how mental health issues can develop in young people.
Eating disorders develop out of underlying emotions, thoughts, and feelings. These drive a person to behave in certain ways. On the surface, most people would consider an eating disorder to be about food. However, there are typically underlying issues such as academic perfection pressure that creates the eating disorder.
Treatment programs help individuals treat the underlying problems in eating disorders and not just the symptoms. Parents can play a key role in the treatment of an eating disorder brought on by perfectionism by explaining to their teenagers that failures occur in life. In addition, showing their child that academia doesn’t have to be black and white can perform wonders for a teenager’s mental health.

Substance Misuse Therapy- Edgbaston, Birmingham

We know that the brain is constantly changing. The neuroplasticity of the brain allows us to create new neural connections by instigating rapid intervention therapies. By breaking the old neuro connections, we can actually re-wire the response your subconscious mind has to the sight, smell or thought of the addiction – forcing your mind to trigger an entirely new feeling and behaviour. Subsequently when you are exposed to any of the old addictive triggers, your brain doesn’t automatically reSubstance Misuse Therapy- Edgbaston, Birmingham spond in the old way, because it feels stronger and healthier.
