Help! How should I deal with an angry person?
Anger is one of our primitive reptile emotions. In almost all cases it is destructive and an emotion to be avoided if possible. This is easier said than done because we are all human beings and share the same frailties. So how can we deal with another person who is...Help! I struggle with Meditation.
Many people struggle with meditation, and often give up. This is a great shame because meditation is just about the most healthy thing we can do for the health of our mind, body, and soul. I have been meditating for more years than I care to think about, and have...Help! Why do nice people get treated as fools?
I have been asked why nice people often get treated as if they were fools. This is a simple question, and yet the answer is rather more complicated. Are such people really nice, or do they want to please others? Are there any advantages to being a bit more assertive?...Help! I am not motivated to start or finish my project
I get many emails and questions about motivation. Typically people want to know why they are not motivated, and what they can do to increase their motivation. This is a very easy question for me to answer, and this is what I say. Motivation is not your problem. The...Help! How do I get rid of my phobia?
Phobias come in many different shapes and sizes. The common morbid fears are fear of spiders, snakes, heights, confined spaces, and crossing bridges. I often get emails asking for help with these phobias. When I see a client for the first time I explain that I am not...Tech Distraction – time to unplug
Studies prove that there’s more to distract us than ever before. It can be hard to put down the phone or switch off the laptop, and the constant little dopamine hits we receive from notifications, likes, emails and more have a seriously negative effect on our...TEDx Talk – How you can get lucky now!
This came out of the blue, and I feel very lucky. It is huge honour, and now it is up to me to do it justice. This Facebook post is from my lovely agent Robyn. BTO Talent 11 hrs · TEDxNorwichED 2018: Dream Big Great news! We are absolutely thrilled that Stephen...All we have to fear is fear itself
The Origin of Fear This week, I was featured on Unshakable Self-Confidence with Billy Atwell, where I was interviewed about anxiety and fear, as well as some of the techniques I teach to stay in the present moment. In this honest exchange, you will learn: That anxiety...A tribute to the power of Havening
I use Havening at some stage with all of my clients. I thought long and hard before attempting this Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) demonstration. I knew I would only have about five minutes, which is much less time than I would ordinarily require. I...
Bioresonance and Rife Frequencies
I’ve received quite a few questions and comments recently about bio resonance, Rife frequencies, and its use it in the treatment of various health conditions. My knowledge of bio resonance is pretty limited and my only experience relates to the time when I...Networking Works in Unexpected Ways
The Power of Networking. This month I have enjoyed networking with a large number of interesting people. It started with this Radio interview on an American station that was rebroadcast throughout the country. When I hear the same message being repeated time and again...LOSE CONTROL TO GAIN CONTROL
You have less control than you imagine. Control of our lives and the events that surround us is a very high priority for most people. We live in an uncertain world with many dangers and it is tempting to believe that much of this is within our personal control. The...
IS IT OUR GENOME THAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?
Human Genome Project. Many of my recent posts have been about how and why our brain comes up with such crazy ideas. Sometimes they can be illuminating ideas verging on genius, whilst at other times they are just plain stupid. The answers to these questions can be...
Find FLOW for your peak performance
FIND FLOW AND THE ZONE FASTER AND STAY THERE LONGER. My last post proposed that creativity was our most precious gift, and closely related to the flow state. I had so many comments and questions about flow that I felt it would be a valuable subject to revisit. I have...INSTINCT MIGHT BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK
Do you control instinct, or does it control you? Instinct in animals is a subject that has always fascinated me. How do birds and fish navigate huge distances with pinpoint accuracy? How does a spider know how to construct its web? How do bees communicate navigational...
Freud Revisited
The Freud Enigma Is it possible that Sigmund Freud could have explained why we often make strange decisions? Freud is recognised as the founder of psychoanalysis and his work has played a huge part in the development of all subsequent talking therapies. He died in...
ADHD – Radio Interview
ADHD is subject of much controversy. I was recently interviewed on The Change Book Radio Show. The two presenters asked me many questions on a wide range of subjects including my views on ADHD. There is so much conflicting science about these types of conditions that...
