    Transform shame, guilt into discernment

    Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bite-size. In this bitesize I will look at ways of turning those old feelings and memories based on shame and/or guilt into discernment.   If you’ve got a bad case of the “should’ve”, “could’ve”, “would’ve’s”… Thoughts on repeat saying, “If only I’d done ____ instead!” – Beating yourself up doesn’t do anyone any good. Guilt and shame, in other words, are worse than useless.   When we wallow in guilt and shame, self-destructive patterns are likely to occur. Such as depression, addiction, self-harm, and self-sabotage. This will likely cause even greater amounts of harm to…

    Why mindfulness matters

While there are many different definitions of mindfulness, one of the simplest is “being present in the moment without judgement”. Being mindful provides the opportunity to notice what is happening around us and to be aware of our internal response to these events. Mindfulness…

    Hypnotherapy for Self-Sabotage

    Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bitesize. Where we serve up bite-sized portions of inspiration, knowledge, and insight! In this series, I will explore using hypnotherapy for self-sabotage. In wartime, a saboteur would be someone who damaged enemy equipment by slashing the tyres of cars and damaging machinery. There is often an element of stealth and secrecy to the way that sabotage is conducted, so if someone sabotages a political campaign, the identity of the saboteur might go completely undetected. So, what do we mean when we talk about sabotaging ourselves? Does it mean that there is some mysterious, negative, subconscious…
