Welcome to The Reducing Anxiety with CBT Mini-Course with myself Chris Piercy from GYST Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching.

In this introductory video I’m going to be telling you what CBT is, the theory behind it, give you some examples of how it is used in day-to-day life, talk about the advantages of it, talk about when it might not be helpful before finishing off by giving you your very first exercise.

Karma eh?

If the nicest person you’ve ever met whose had an impossibly hard life won the lottery you’d probably say that there was no-one more deserving of it

And if someone who liked putting kittens on train tracks to watch them die got hit by a train you probably wouldn’t say they deserved what they got. But you might well think it (I’m not judging you.)

I think that as humans it can be quite nice for us to see “bad things” happening to “bad people” and “good things” happening to “good people.”

Please excuse the overuse of “ in that sentence.

The problem is that it simply doesn’t happen that way at all.

One of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever met, who I knew basically my whole life was struck down with oesophageal cancer. Died 30+ years too soon.

Sadly I’m sure you can easily think of times where life has been wholly cruel to someone genuinely wonderful.

Bad things happen, good things happen, this is irrespective of the saintliness of a person. Put simply there is no such thing as people deserving life’s events.

But this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be a good person because good stuff can happen to good people.

The thing is though, it’s got nothing to do with Karma whatsoever.

Why is it that some people are completely chilled about dating, others overanalyse every interaction and message, and there are others who seem to deliberately sabotage what seem like perfectly reasonable dating opportunities?

The answer is very simple - these different sets of people have different “attachment styles”.

Attachment is the emotional bond that forms in us in early childhood but there is also evidence to suggest that people are genetically predisposed to becoming a particular attachment style.

This emotional bond unconsciously sets out the patterns which later become the core of how our adult relationships are based - both in romance and friendship.

The 4 attachment styles are as follows:

Secure

Anxious

Avoidant

Disorganised (anxious-avoidant)

People do not have to be necessarily pigeon-holed into one style and some people’s attachment style can vary depending on the attachment style of the person with whom the relationship is with.

It is important to understand also that attachment styles are stable but plastic, this means that they will not wildly fly all over the place but also they can be trained to become more secure.

It might be the case that just by seeing the headlines of the styles you feel you know which category you fit into but let me give you the low-down on what might be typical romantic relationship traits of someone from each style.
