1. Strictly's Mark Wright wants hypnotherapy for panic attacks

   Posted on 11:39am Wednesday 19th Nov 2014

    

   Mark Wright is struggling with his emotions and is now looking for hypnotherapy to help him manage his stress levels...

   The Only Way is Essex star is suffering so badly with anxiety that he has considered quitting Strictly Come Dancing..

   Wright has been seen breaking down in tears on many episodes since he began competing on 'Strictly Come Dancing' and he's now spoken about the fact the he has decided that the best thing to do is to seek help.

   Speaking to The Sun Newspaper he said: ''I'm an emotional person. I'm loving Strictly but I'm putting so much pressure on myself. It's hard to keep control.I have never had a full blown panic attack but it's the closest thing you can get to it. It's definitely an anxiety attack. I can't breathe, sometimes I cry. I feel sick all week with nerves, then I see my family in the audience and all the emotions come out. I'm thinking about having hypnotherapy.''

   He has talked about the fact the he and partner dancer Karen Hauer on the show don't think they will win. His fiancée Michelle Keegan and his family have been supportive, despite tabloid gossip about their relationship which clearly can only add to the stress he is feeling.He explained that if he could have a bet on the winner his money would be on EastEnders' Jake Wood.

   Stop panic attacks forever and make sure they do not return.

   I work with clients all the time who suffer panic attacks to stop them from happening and by working through the reasons for them happening we can ensure that once they stop they never need to happen again. Many people think that hypnotherapy is all about lying down and having someone talk at you but you may be surprised about the ways that we can work to help you end your panic attacks and teach you to manage any stress and anxiety whatever is causing it.

   I do hope that Mark Wright gets professional help with his stresses because you can overcome them and move on.

2. Derren Brown Interview with Chris Addison on Hypnosis and NLP plus Hitler

   Posted on 9:21am Monday 10th Nov 2014

   Derren Brown rarely gives longer interviews so when he spoke to comedian Chris Addison about his career and the techniques that he uses it made for a fascinating radio interview.

    

   He talks about how his friends think that eveything he is saying is some sort of psychological trick. He suggests that many people are a bit wary about talking to him just in case. The good news is that people are not asking him all the time to do tricks for them.

   In his first year of University he saw a hypnotist performing called Martin Taylor and was inspired to learn ahout hypnosis and so his career was born.

   Talking about his shows Mind Control, Russian Roulette and Heist it reminds us how many shows and appearances Derren has made and how rich his career has been. He even persuaded someone to shoot Stephen Fry...with blanks fortunately!

   You can listen to the full radio interview here:

   He tells a very interesting story about reality TV shows and a friend who was involved in one and how after asking him to tell them all the awkward stories that could get sold to the press...they then leaked the very same stories.

   Hearing him talk about psychics and his opinion on them I saw parallels with the thoughts that James Randi has on Uri Geller.
