Feeling Down and have no Energy

Are you Feeling down and have no energy?

If you are you may be surprised to know that this is quit common. I know that doesn’t help but your not alone feeling this way.

Free Phone Consultation Dublin Ireland

There maybe many reasons for this so you would be advised to go to your general practitioner just to be on the safe side.

When clients come to me complaining of feeling down or have no energy it generally comes down to not being happy. Some will say their stressed at work or their home environment is not great. Others will say they have lost the will to live and whats the point of it all.

So if you feel down and have no energy you will fall somewhere within those points. The first thing is to find out the why! Why do you feel like this? Ask the question and see where it takes you.

It maybe easy to identify if some area of your life has a new or ongoing issue. If you get an answer then you know what is wrong. Is there something you can do to fix it? If you get no answer think about what you do want in that area of your life and what you can do to make it happen.

Think about the outcome and if you get a knot in your stomach or some other uncomfortable feeling you may have a mental block stopping you from getting what you want. There is no reason to feel uncomfortable thinking about what you want so if you do ask why.

Metal blocks could be, money is evil, money is hard to get, I’m not good enough and the list goes on. We use hypnosis to remove these blocks all the time.

If on the other hand you don’t know why you feel like this and it just seems to be your entire life you may have or suffer from depression. No matter what it is there is a why.

Why do you feel like this? The answer may not be what you think and that can add to the problem. You may over look this avenue of thinking or simply refuse to go down that avenue because it is to painful.

We would see this a lot and anything said to us is confidential. If you come to see me we will find the why and desensitize or remove what is causing you to feel this way.

Fear of Being Alone

Autophobia is the fear of being alone

This fear is the fear of being alone but for some they may be surrounded by people and feel alone. Most of us have felt that at some stage! Add to this that there is so much cross over into other fears and phobias that many people can’t pinpoint what is wrong with them.

If you look it up you may get different names for it like isolophobia, or eremophobia. Monophobia is another one and when you look for definitions things become clouded.

So the best way is not to get bogged down with names and stick to the feelings.

For some they are physical alone, no friends, partners or close family. This group can often focus on the worst case scenario thinking. For example, I will always be alone and I’ll die alone.

As you can imagine this become a cycle of think that is hard to come out off. For others they may have people all around them and they just feel alone, isolated, unappreciated and unloved.

As I have said before it all comes down to our own perception of the world around us. If we perceive that no one loves us and all our hard work is unappreciated then that is what we see. It doesn’t matter if in reality that is not true it is the individual’s perception of events.

Like some other fears and phobias this can have nock on affects. If you feel this way you may find it hard to join in with groups. You then reduce your circle until you’re stuck at home with a fear of going out, (agoraphobia).

You may experience panic attacks while at home or when out at work or in public. It can destroy years of your life if you don’t get help.

One of previous clients I worked with exhibiting this fear we were able to go back to his childhood where his parents showed him no love or emotion. This was not perception but just how they were. Your parents are the way they are because of their perception of what has happened to them. Just like you are the way you are because of your perception of what has happened to you.

The good news is this can be changed. If an event has taken place it has happened but how you think about it and the feeling that comes from it can change. I’m located in Ireland, if you have any questions please call or for more information on hypnosis see our home page, Dublin Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire.

If you would be interested but unsure why not try our Guided Relaxation through Hypnosis session so you can experience hypnosis without telling us any personal information. It’s a great way to start and one last thing, if you think nobody cares your wrong because I do!

Fear of Needles

Trypanophobia the Fear of Needles

In this article we will talk about two types. The first is the extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles. The second is the fear of getting a tattoo because of the use of needles.

Dublin Ireland

Not all but a lot of our fears and phobias can be traced back to when we were children. This may not be your case but just imagine as a young child being brought to the doctor’s office or hospital. The child is in a strange place and then the child is being held so they can’t move to get an injection.

As you can imagine this could be upsetting for a child as well as the parent. Now you could say that it’s in the best interests of the child and in most cases your right but that doesn’t change what has happened from the child’s perspective.

Now there may be many variations of this as well as other factors. If like in arachnophobia the fear of spiders you see a parent or guardian freak out over spiders you can create the link that spiders are dangerous. So, maybe as a child you saw or heard negative talk about needles from someone you would have thought as a protector.

In hypnotherapy we would desensitise the memory and help you see it in a different way. Everything is about perspective, that’s why as humans we see the same thing so differently from the people around us.

Yes we see somethings the same but not everything and the further out of your group you go the more differences there are among us.

It may also come down to your sensitivity. It’s natural for some people to have a higher threshold for pain than others. When it comes to getting a tattoo it could be anything above or a combination of them. Plus I know you can remove a tattoo but it is for intents and purposes permanent.

There is a fear of what if it goes wrong what will I do? What if it looks terrible can I change it? Will it affect my job, relationship and it’s almost endless. In hypnotherapy we discover first what the fear is and where its coming from and then desensitise it. If you are in our area please contact us if you have any more questions. or please visit our homepage for more information, Dublin Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire.

If it’s only some general stress you want to get rid of we run a guided relaxation through hypnosis session which may be the thing you’re looking for. Stress plays a big role in our lives but we don’t have to hold on to it.

Fear of flying

Fear of flying goes much deeper.

There are many names for it and most are incorrect for our purposes here. If you look at aerophobia which many say is a fear of flying it’s actually an abnormal fear of drafts of air, gases, or airborne matter. So there is no point getting bogged down in definitions.

Dublin Ireland

If you suffer from flying you can nearly always break it down into 2 categories. You believe the plane will crash into the land or sea and if you survive you will have horrible injuries. That also includes take offs and landings. Or you fear not being able to get of the plan.

Since flying is the safest modes of transport you would have to figure out where this fear comes from. Have you had a personal experience or maybe someone you know? Did television footage of a real crash affect you in some way? Or was it a movie that got under your skin and your mind has done the rest.

Most people underestimate what effect movies have on us. If you think of a good film for you, you follow the characters, you get involved in there story and you feel the emotions. An idea plus strong or intense emotion can create links in our sub conscience.

Through hypnosis we can find the reason for the fear of flying and desensitize the memory and help re-frame the memory. To find out more about hypnosis see our home page, Dublin Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire.

If like many you hate the thoughts of being stuck in those small seats, strapped in with nowhere to go you could be looking at claustrophobia. You may want to read this article on Claustrophobia The fear of being confined.

If you think about it, you back bags and put them into cars, buses or taxis. Then you enter a secured building with long corridors with no exits unless it’s an emergency. It may be too hot, the lights to bright.

Then you queue up; maybe multiple times to board a small cylinder type shape to be told to sit, put your belt on. When that door closes you’re trapped with nowhere to go.

Does that sound like a pleasant experience to you? It’s no wonder some people are afraid to fly. Thankfully there are ways to reduce or remove these feelings.

If it doesn’t bother you that much why not try our guided relaxation through hypnosis session. Relieve stress and unwind…

Arachnophobia

Arachnophobia the fear of spiders

In truth arachnophobia is the fear of spiders and other arachnids such as scorpions but many people only fear spiders. Now I have to say this really depends on where you live in the world.

Call for a FREE Phone Consultation Dublin Ireland

If like me you live in Ireland and you see a spider you can simple pick it up and move it. There could be the extreme case where a neighbour has lost a dangerous one or maybe a pet shop that keeps dangerous spiders.

I had to add that last bit in, just in case!

Now if you live in a country where a spider’s bite can do damage or even kill then being vigilant is prudent. It all comes down to, is the fear unreasonable or is there real grounds for it.

For other information on hypnosis visit our home page Dublin Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire. We have a high success rate removing this fear; contact us if you have any questions.

It may be that you came from a country were the threat was real to now living in a country with no dangerous spiders. Where being vigilant is now redundant but the habit is so ingrained that you can’t stop jumping when you see a spider.

Other possible reasons for your fear of spiders!

Maybe you had a spider crawl over your face when you were very young and as a baby you couldn’t get it off. This does happen and when you think about how many spiders are around its bound to happen. I know if you’re reading this that may not be a pleasant thought but it depends on the threat factor.

Another common way to pick up this fear is, as a young child (under 7) you see a parent or guardian scream at the sight of a spider and jump away or even pull you away and your subconscious makes a connection. A protector, a care giver, someone you depend on for your safety is scared of these things then they must be dangerous.

If you would just like to remove some stress why not try our Guided Relaxation through Hypnosis session.

Claustrophobia The fear of being confined

Is Claustrophobia the fear of small spaces?

Well I suffered with claustrophobia for several years and it’s not the way I would explain it. Say for example you get in a lift and it’s packed, full capacity 12 people and you hardly can move. Now imagine it gets stuck and it’s so difficult to get your coat of because it is so hot. It’s not difficult to see how that could cause a panic attack if you suffered from claustrophobia.

Call us for a FREE Phone Consultation Dublin Ireland

Now imagine getting into the same lift but its empty. There is room for another eleven people while you’re standing there. You press the button and the doors close, now you can’t get out till it reaches its destination. For many this can cause a panic attack but you have space to move around.

So imagine going into a shopping centre or mall on a busy day. You start to look around for the exits, just in case you need them. It’s all going well and you’re being brave until the lights are too bright, your breath catches and panic hits you.

You need to get out, you won’t make it but there’s a toilet. You rush in, your taking back control, you can stay in the cubical for as long as you need. You can splash water on the back of your neck and when you’re ready you can walk at speed from the shop.

Strange thing is that the toilet was much smaller than the shop and the open area of the shopping centre, but you could control it!

Please contact us if you have any questions our see our home page for more information, Dublin Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire.

So let’s take it a bit further…

Some idiot has bought you and your partner a trip down a cave walk. You can walk upright the whole time; you enter one cave entrance and emerge from another cave entrance. As you walk down you look back at the entrance and step by step you’re further from the entrance till it’s gone.

It’s worse, there is only room for single file traffic and there is a que of people behind you.

If you think about these examples you will see there is a perceived loss of control. I know yours may not be the same but think about it. I drove for a living decades ago and I had to give the job. It cost me so many things, friends and even a will to live. I’ve been there and know how it feels!

This is one of the reason why I got into hypnotherapy and if I only knew then what I know now I would have saved myself years of misery.

Fear of Public Speaking

The fear of public speaking is called Glossophobia

The word glossophobia derives from the Greek γλῶσσα glōssa, meaning tongue, and φόβος phobos, fear or dread.

Many people experience fear of public speaking and in many polls percentage wise it is a bigger fear than death. Some people may call it stage fright or even panic attacks. Most people who fear to speak in public will get through it but for days leading up to the time where they need to speak in public the worry and anxiety builds.

Call us for a FREE Phone Consultation Dublin Ireland

This can lead to other problems, even down to being short or bad tempered with your partner and children. While most people get through it there are those who can’t.

Some people will simple freeze and when this happens it reinforces the feeling of doom and dread they feel and the knowledge that they can’t speak in public. Others may start to stutter even when they have no stutter and this can create one. It’s easy to see how one problem can create more but you can remove fears and phobias with hypnosis.

For others they will pass up promotions as they would need to talk to staff or even not turn up for an interview because they feel terrified and powerless. While some individuals may scoff at this for the people going through it, it affects their life on a daily basis.

Some of the symptoms you may have if you have a fear of speaking in public are, dry mouth, full bladder, sweating hands, face and other areas. Week legs to the point of your legs giving way. You may experience palpitations right up to a panic attack.

If you think about what causes it, the answer for most cases is some perceived trauma usually when you were young. Speaking in front of people is general not dangerous so It’s a fear of being judged. When you were a child did a teacher make you feel stupid in front of others? Maybe it was a parent or guardian and you perceived their tone or facial expressions as disappointment.

We do live in the real world so many of us have parents and teachers who aren’t nice. That’s just reality and most of us are affected by what has happened in the past.

When you understand how the mind works this is simple to understand. Using hypnosis we find the cause of the fear and desensitise the memory and reframe it so it loses the negative feeling attacked to it. If you would like to find out more please contact us and we are happy to answer your questions.

Unfortunately we hold on to it and we judge ourselves over things that in reality don’t make sense. When you understand how the mind works it’s easy to see why we have so many problems and so much stress.

Most therapies work from a model that the conscience mind is about 10%, the sub-conscience is around 84 – 86% and the un-conscience is 4 – 6%. So you can see the sub-conscience is the most powerful. It contains your feelings, emotion, habits, beliefs and long term memory.

This is the area that you need to make changes in if you want them to last and the reason why some therapies take so long is that they have to go through the conscience mind first. Have you ever known that you shouldn’t do something but you did it anyway?

Of course you have, we all have at one time or another. The reason for this is that our intellect, our rational thinking is in the conscience mind which is the 10%. Our feelings, habits and beliefs are in the sub-conscience which is 84 – 86%. Did you really feel that you wanted it, is it a habit or do you have a belief that you rational know is not serving you?

It’s easy to see problems can start especially when judge ourselves for what we have done or failed to do. Depending on the situation we know we should have done or shouldn’t have done and we knew this before the event so why did we do it? Usually when you ask questions like that we get very negative answers and we feel worse. For more see our home page Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire Dublin.

Feeling down in Dublin Dun Laoghaire

Always Feeling down in Dublin Dun Laoghaire

It’s true you can feel down anywhere in the world but since I work in Dun Laoghaire Dublin I generally only see people from the area. First of all its ok to feel down sometimes, it’s a completely natural process.

We are bombarded with information about being positive and upbeat and don’t forget to set your goals! Yes they are all positive things! Yes you should do them but if something has gone wrong and you feel down, well that’s ok.

If someone you know or love has either passed away or is very sick this can make you feel down. Maybe your job is not the job you want to be doing for the next 20 years this can make you feel down. If you have reached an age where you look at your achievements and prospects and think how did I get here you may feel down. Especially if its not what you want.

If you would just like to remove some stress have a look at our Guided Relaxation trough Hypnosis Session.

Are you Feeling Down in Dublin Dun Laoghaire?

What does this tell you? Feeling down is ok, felling down is a natural state at times. Now if you examine it further you can see that feeling down is a sign or alarm to make you aware that something needs to change.

It’s not possible to change everything especially around death but even here there are things we can do to improve how we feel about it. If you’re not happy with your job then you need to look for another one. Yes you may need to train to get a further qualification but maybe this can be done at night or online.

If it’s your relationship then you need to look to improve it. What did you both do when you felt the love? What did you do at the beginning of the relationship? If you can improve it, well then you need to ask the tough questions.

Even when it comes to death you can make changes. I see a lot of people for this and many times it comes down to perceived guilt. Whether the guilt is real or imagined as long as you perceive it to be true you will feel it. This can be difficult for people to overcome by themselves and can haunt people for years.  For more information see our home page Hypnosis Dun Laoghaire Dublin.
