First broadcast on Chocolate-Radio.com.

For my next show @FrancescaForte returns with The Arts Salon and my very special guest is the hypnotherapist, CBT and NLP practitioner Sharon Stiles, and we’ll be exploring #anxiety related to lockdown easing from the 19th July and #confidence.

Sharon will explain quick techniques to handle forms of anxiety and outlines best practice to take the fear out of returning to office work, the commute and managing colleagues.

Sharon has very kindly provided some links which relate to this episode of Wednesday Afternoons with Diane Hinds:

• Physical ways to reduce anxiety: https://www.sharonstiles.co.uk/blog/physical-ways-to-reduce-anxiety.asp
• This one was written at the start of the outbreak but all the advice is relevant to any anxious time: https://www.sharonstiles.co.uk/blog/reduce-anxiety-coronavirus.asp
• This is a video that explains the wrist rubbing and breathing - again Covid related but relevant any time: https://www.sharonstiles.co.uk/blog/2-quick-anxiety-reduction-tips.asp
• Alternatively, (knowing I love to shower people with information!)  this link shows all the blogs related to anxiety and the 2 I have listed above appear at the top: https://www.sharonstiles.co.uk/blog/pag.asp?a=Anxiety

• This is the page about EFT: https://www.sharonstiles.co.uk/whatismet.asp

There will be more great music and you can even tell me what you’d like the theme of the show to be, now that #Euro2020 is over.
