Overcoming Bullying Stress And Anxiety | Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy

Bullying Anxiety

There are many bullying stories, bullying facts and bullying statistics that are available to read online. Many years ago after reading some bullying articles and Tim Fields book I realized that I was a victim of adult bullying. After suffering from bullying at work many years ago for approximately five years, I discovered that the use of self hypnosis and self hypnotherapy was a very valuable way of overcoming the misery that the bullies caused. This workplace bullying brought about a whole spectrum of emotional upset that I couldn’t at the time control. These feelings almost destroyed my life and my marriage because I couldn’t understand what was happening to me and why the bullies were targeting me. I later understood why the bullying was happening and found that it was quite simply because unlike the bullies I was a very honest, hard working person.

My Personal Experiences Of Being Bullied

After reading the bullying stories in Tim Fields book and bullying articles online I realized that it was possible to overcome the trauma that I was suffering from. The trauma that I was suffering from was the hardest thing that I had ever had to deal with in my life. This stress and anxiety not only affected myself but my friends and family. To this day I don’t know how my wife managed to cope with the way that I was treating the people that I loved. I read almost all of the bullying stories, bullying facts and bullying articles that I could get my hands on and realized that self hypnosis and hypnotherapy was my best option to overcome the physical and mental stress.

Read Some Bullying Stories And Fight Back

After reading some bullying articles about the bullying laws in Texas I came to understand that there was very little protection from the effects of bullying in the UK. It seems that our government don’t want to acknowledge that bullying in the workplace happens. Instead of giving up I decided to fight back, which prompted me to study all about bullying. I read Tim Fields book “Bully In Sight” which is a wonderful book that showed me all the different stages that people go through when they are being bullied and how to take away the power that the bullies thought they had over me. His book helped me to understand the difference between neurotic bullies and psychotic bullies and all about the many different stages to expect when the bullies start to attack you.

Self Hypnosis For Bullying

A good friend of mine encouraged me to learn all about self hypnosis to change my habits, emotions and behaviors that were associated with the bullying. It didn’t take me very long to see the wonderful results as these physical feelings and negative thoughts changed. I then decided to learn as much as I could about hypnotherapy. I decided to train at the Northern College of Hypnosis to become a professional clinical hypnotherapist.

My Success In Defeating The Bullies

After successfully completing my hypnosis and hypnotherapy course I was awarded a Distinction D.Hyp in clinical hypnotherapy. I have since found that I can use my own experiences of being bullied to help others to overcome the same unwanted feelings and negative emotions that I suffered from. In my career I have helped many hundreds of people to successfully combat bullying and the horrible negative thoughts that are caused by bullying.
