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…

Thoughts are not facts
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, we’ll explore why our thoughts are not facts. Why everything we think about may not be true. We all have thousands of thoughts each day. Some of them are more obvious, like “I’m worried I’m going to be late because the train is late” or, “They must not like me.” Others are obvious, often triggered by situations or events and leading to negative emotions influenced by our perception of the situation. Thoughts can take the form of words, phrases,…
