Dentistry

“Today was a big day, I have always been petrified of the dentist for as long as I can remember, and today was a day of having 2 very big fillings replaced which meant lots of injections. That was today, let's give you a bit of back story....” Even as an adult I had to take my business card to a dentist appointment because I'd be shaking and crying so much I couldn't tell the receptionist my name. If I needed work done I wouldn't sleep for a week, the worry of the appointment looming over me keeping me awake [...]

Animal therapy

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:32+00:00

Animal Assisted therapy within My Exceptional setting involves therapy but with an animal present in the room that is used to add to the calm, safe atmosphere. Our animals are trained to stay calm and relaxed, to bring balance and a sense of security to the room to aid the person in their recovery. It is suitable for people who are comfortable with an animal presence and would benefit from having a positive animal energy. They can either be in the room, or available for reassuring cuddles. It is in addition to the therapy session and over time we plan [...]

Erectile Dysfunction

Jessica 2018-09-18T14:43:34+00:00

Impotence and Erectile Dysfunction There’s nothing to be embarrassed about here. There is no judgement. ED is a topic that most men suffer from in silence, it’s not usually the topic of the men’s conversations and because of this many men feel very isolated and lonely, often not seeking help, spending years missing out on a very natural part of human enjoyment. If you're reading this page then you are heading in the right direction. Sex, masturbation and in-between is a natural part of being human and to lose the ability to fufill these actions can have significant impact on [...]

7 Practical ways to help your child or teenager to cope with stress

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:32+00:00

Make sleep a priority Teenagers need a minimum of 8 hours up to about 10 hrs a night, with most research favouring over 9 hours. This is critical to their ability to cope, learn and manage stress. Sleep helps with weight management, stress and anxiety, ability to cope, ability to learn, ability to concentrate. Don’t laugh as there are ways to get your kids to agree to this, but electronics in bedrooms has a negative impact on sleep cycles. There is no research that I can find anywhere that says ‘watching tv or playing Xbox or watching you tube videos’ [...]

Fears and Phobias

Rudgey84 2018-02-01T20:00:02+00:00

Health is a relationship between you and your body Terri Guillemets Fears and Phobias This is very similar to stress and anxiety, except it is stimuli-specific. This means that your subconscious has learned that reacting with fear, an adrenaline release, panic, fight or flight, to a certain situation, environment or stimuli enables it to survive. Therefore every time you encounter the stimuli, your brain and body react in order to protect you - it worked before and you stayed alive, so your brain has very [...]

Stress and anxiety

Rudgey84 2018-02-02T11:28:08+00:00

Health is a relationship between you and your body Terri Guillemets Stress and anxiety Stress and anxiety are perfectly normal, healthy states to be in occasionally, especially when you are in real danger. The problem arises when you enter this state even when you are not in danger, but your body and brain perceive the danger as real and so put your into this highly unpleasant state that has nowhere to be released and can cause damage to your mental and physical health. Suffering with [...]

Depression, Stress, Anxiety, Insomnia

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:32+00:00

Yep, I got the t-shirt for all of these in my teenage years. Yet I was excellent at hiding them and putting on a mask, a front. I don’t think any of my friends would know that I was too scared to order a takeaway, I was too scared to go to a new exercise class by myself, I turned down many a social invite for fears, all those what if’s floating around my head that I couldn’t control and would run away with my confidence. Using various techniques, I work with people and their fears, anxieties, worries, negative thoughts [...]

Smoking

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:33+00:00

As an ex-smoker, 6 attempts where I think I tried everything, every time I stopped smoking I was so jealous of smokers and all I could think about was smoking again, and start smoking again I did. Ultimately it was my mindset that truly changed. On my final attempt I had something significant to move away from and something really great to move towards. I no longer felt jealous of smokers, instead I felt pity that they didn’t have the freedom that I had found. Freedom from smoking is a package of several sessions and by the end you will [...]

Food and eating/ weight management

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:33+00:00

I know what it is like to be out of control with eating, I have direct experience and I appreciate the frustrations about what your goal is and how you behave to sabotage your own success. You will develop tools to align your behaviour with your goals, you will be empowered to make these choices more enjoyable and less difficult, to give your will power the support it needs. People with a BMI over 30 could be eligible for gastric band hypnosis which has the same impact as gastric band surgery but without the risks. Need help to lose weight? [...]
