Podcast Overview

Most people know something's wrong. They just don't know why or what to do about it. Hosted by Gary Johannes , Solution focused hypnotherapist, founder of Inspired To Change, and senior lecturer at CPHT. Moving Minds Forward is a podcast about mental health, the brain, and what genuinely helps people change. One condition per episode. Anxiety, depression, panic, sleep, stress, trauma, OCD, overthinking, confidence and more, explored through honest conversation, grounded in neuroscience and current research. Some episodes are educational. Some include guests sharing their own experience of moving forward. No jargon. No blame. No dwelling on the past. Just straight answers about why the brain does what it does and what actually helps. Because people aren't broken. Sometimes the brain just gets stuck in patterns it learned to survive. And the brain can learn something different.

Why Chronic Pain Doesn't Mean You're Broken | Claire Noyelle

Why Do I Get So Angry?

Why do I get so angry? If you've asked yourself that question after saying or doing something you regret, this one's for you.Anger can feel like it owns you. The heat rises, the words are out before you've had a single useful thought, and twenty minutes later the calm, sensible version of you turns up with all the right things you could have said. In this episode, I want to explain what's actually going on because once you understand it, anger stops feeling like a character flaw and starts making sense.We'll look at what anger really is, and the difference between anger and aggression. We'll go into what's happening in your brain in that moment, why "just calm down" doesn't work, and what your amygdala is doing when it takes over from the thinking part of your brain. We'll talk about anger management, why it keeps coming back even when you don't want it to, and the difference between anger and the anxiety or hurt often sitting underneath it. And I'll leave you with one simple thing you can start noticing today, to widen the gap between the trigger and the reaction.You're not broken. You're not weak. You have a brain that learned, somewhere along the way, to reach for anger to keep you safe. And the same brain that learned that can learn something different. That's not wishful thinking. That's neuroscience.If this helps, subscribe and leave a review, it means more people find their way to this.If you'd like support with anger, Inspired to Change has a nationwide network of solution-focused hypnotherapists across the UK. Find your nearest therapist and book a free initial consultation at <a href="http://www.inspiredtochange.biz">www.inspiredtochange.biz</a>.If anger is frequent, intense, or affecting your life, please speak to your GP, it can sit alongside things worth checking. And if it's ever spilled over into harming yourself or someone else, please get proper support quickly.#WhyDoIGetSoAngry #AngerManagement #InspiredToChange #SolutionFocusedHypnotherapy #MovingMindsForward #MentalHealthPodcast #Neuroscience #AngerIssues #EmotionalRegulation #HypnotherapyUK

Procrastination Isn't Laziness - Here's What's Really Going On

You're not lazy. You never were.If you've spent years calling yourself lazy for putting things off, this one's for you. Procrastination isn't a time management problem, it's an emotional one. When a task stirs up discomfort, your brain does exactly what it's built to do: it moves you away from the bad feeling and towards relief. That's not a character flaw. It's wiring, and wiring can change.In this episode of Moving Minds Forward, Gary Johannes, solution focused hypnotherapist and founder of Inspired to Change, unpacks what's really driving the avoidance, what's happening in the brain when you reach for your phone instead of the task, and why guilt and self-criticism keep the cycle spinning rather than breaking it.You'll learn:<ul><li>Why a procrastinator cares too much, not too little</li><li>The argument between the planner and the limbic system and who usually wins</li><li>How shame acts as a brake, not a fuel</li><li>What solution-focused hypnotherapy does to lower the dread around starting</li><li>One simple five-minute technique you can use today</li></ul>People aren't broken. They're capable of change. And the version of you who starts sooner and carries less guilt may be a lot closer than you think.If procrastination has been weighing on you, Inspired to Change has solution-focused hypnotherapists across the UK, in person and online. Everything's at inspiredtochange.biz when you're ready. No rush.  
