BEAT ANXIETY The majority of us will experience Anxiety at some point in our lives, it’s our body’s natural response to stress or fear and can happen when faced with a difficult or challenging situations.
“
The problem arises when the anxiety becomes overwhelming and the response is out of portion to situations or when there is no real threat or danger. The body then reacts with the “fight or flight “response and prepares to protect itself by sending adrenalin into the body which can cause many symptoms and may even result in a panic attack.
If you suffer with Anxiety you may be aware of the following Physical Symptoms: • • • •
Pounding heart and chest pains • Pins and needles Shortness of breath • Shaking and tremors Drowsiness and tiredness • Nauseous Feeling dizzy and light headed • Excessive sweating
Having suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for the best part of a year, I decided to try hypnotherapy. From first speaking to Gemma in my pre-treatment assessment, I was made to feel very confident that the issues I have experienced could be promptly addressed and treated. In just two sessions, we were able to uncover some of the root causes behind my anxiety and put some fixes in place to remove my panick attacks, thus reducing my general anxiety. This has enabled me to become far more positive and feel much more like my old self.
“
Take control of your life
I am very happy with the results from just two sessions and would gladly recommend Gemma to anyone considering hypnotherapy. Anxiety can cause many psychological symptoms which can
result in you feeling irritated, restless and experiencing a sense of
dread to the extent of fearing having a heart attack or even death.
Anxiety and panic attacks are not dangerous however can be very frightening and uncomfortable. This can all have a knock on effect
What would you Change with Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation and
is safe and natural way to help you overcome many different issues:
Stop Smoking Lose Weight Confidence Issues Anxiety / Panic Attacks Fears and Phobias Depression At Gemma King Hypnotherapy you can receive treatment from an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist in many of these areas and more.

and cause you to withdraw from social contact with friends and family and even take time off work – causing you to worry even more about yourself and effect your self-esteem. Hypnotherapy is very effective in helping to uncover the root cause to many problems therefore it is excellent tool in helping to find out what is causing your anxiety and panic attacks. Hypnotherapy can help you to take back control of your life, by effectively reducing your anxiety, changing unwanted habits and by giving you tools and techniques to remain calm and relaxed so you can get back to enjoying your life. “There is good evidence from randomised controlled trials that both hypnosis and relaxation techniques can reduce anxiety” the same report also concluded that “Hypnosis was proven to be effective in treating panic attacks and phobia”. At Gemma King Hypnotherapy I use the most up to date tools and techniques to help you overcome your anxiety - combining Hypnotherapy, NLP, EMDR and Gestalt Therapy to help you get the best possible results. You can learn to think, feel and behave differently towards situations that in the past have caused you to experience anxiety.

COME FLY WITH ME Simulators Midlands ...With Flight
When Captain Chris Rigby retired from operational flying 2 years ago, he wondered how he could somehow utilise the flying knowledge that he had acquired over the last 40 years. With over 20,000 flight hours, mainly on the Boeing 737, and having worked for Britannia/Thomsons Airways, British Airways, easyJet and lastly Ryanair, he wanted to find something that would allow him to share that experience with everyone who was interested in flying.
from and the flight is over all too soon. Highly recommended on Trip Advisor, this is an experience not to be missed. New simulators cost over £5million, so these are real boys toys.
Chris, who regularly lectures about aviation on cruise ships around the world and runs Fear of Flying courses, hit on the idea of buying and operating a flight simulator for the general public to live out their dream. He located a real motion simulator, a Boeing 737-800, originally owned by Sabena Airlines of Belgium, that was for sale. This was shipped to Coventry Airport last May and has since then it has had hundreds of wanabee pilots testing their metal in one of the most pressure environments in the world. Just recently a Boeing 747-400, which was one of Aer Lingus’s training machines has been added to the fleet and is now ready for boarding. Most of the instructors at Flight Simulators Midlands are retired airline pilots who have thousands of hours in aircraft of all types and have flown the world. Situated in the hangar of the Coventry Aeroplane Club, would be pilots first have a half hour briefing on how a modern aircraft flies and works. They then make their way past the real aircraft in the hangar before boarding the aircraft of their choice. Their instructor will make sure they are seated comfortably and strapped in and they are off, around the mountains of Salzburg or the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. Guests can choose from a number of different airports, worldwide, to fly to and
Chris is pleased to offer through the Express Advertiser, a Spring offer of a full hours flight for the price of 30 minutes. Please mention this article when ringing to book or get a gift voucher for the pilot of your dreams.
Chris told the Advertiser that many professional pilots have visited FSM to brush up their skills before going for interviews with airlines and all have been successful so far. Chris’s Fear of Flying courses, held at the company’s offices at Coventry Airport also include a quick flight in one of the simulators. They have helped many frightened fliers back into the air and anyone wanting help to overcome their fear can contact Chris through Flight Simulators Midlands.
2 observers permitted in each simulator free of charge. Wheelchair access to the 747 for flying or watching. Minimum age for flying 14. See website T&C’s for other age restrictions.

SPRING...SUMMER... the best time to have a woodburning stove installed!
year it’s the same - during the winter months we can’t Every begin to imagine what it feels like to be hot and sticky...to
feel the sun on our faces...to breath in warm air; and then by the time July and August come round, the sensation of frozen toes and ‘cold in your bones’ is so much a distant memory that try as we might, we cannot remember how it feels! So it is totally understandable why people put off having their woodburning stove installed, right the way through to the start of Autumn. They just don’t think about it until they get cold! But,

Memories of hugging hot mugs of tea to keep your fingers warm may already be fading, but one thing is for sure, winter will be back! perversely, the Spring and Summer months are by far the best time to have your stove installed. The weather is kinder for one thing, making the installation a quicker and easier affair - hanging off a chimney stack in a snow blizzard is neither fun nor practical! Soot dust can be easily dispersed through open windows and doors. Stove manufacturers delivery times become much quicker - no lengthy waiting lists. And whereas anyone purchasing a stove in the winter time feels immediately under pressure to get it chosen and installed in as quick a time as possible, summer installations are far more relaxed with the customer having more time to spend looking for just the right model - no urgency, no pressure.
