HypnoSOS hypnosis podcast featured in 20 Best UK Anxiety podcasts list

LONDON - June 1, 2021 - PRLog -- The HypnoSOS podcast has recently been featured in the list of 20 Best UK Anxiety Podcasts of 2021 by Best Startup UK. Originally conceived as short hypnosis sessions for frontline workers in the midst of the COVID19 crisis, the weekly episodes are approaching 4000 downloads in just 4 months alongside streaming on the usual platforms, and it has recently been made available on Spotify.

With episode titles including 'Feel Better About Life', 'Let Go of Anxiety' and 'Be Kind to Yourself' the mini hypnosis sessions address a wide range of topics, all with the aim of adding positivity to the listeners' lives. Currently 'Deep Sleep' is the most downloaded title, reflecting the undercurrent of disturbed sleep people are experiencing, with the inevitable negative effects on general health and well-being.

In February, as the UK vaccination drive got under way, Ursula made her 'Needle Phobia' mp3 available free in February via the podcast and Anxiety UK, and it is still available for download from her website https://www.ursulajames.co.uk.

Even though the worst of the pandemic appears to be over, the mental health crisis is increasing. More than ever people are struggling not only with the lasting effects of the lockdowns but are now facing stress and anxiety as they adjust to 'the new normal' and what the future holds.

"Even just a short session of self-hypnosis or regular listening to a hypnosis audio like a HypoSOS episode can make all the difference in tackling stress and anxiety. There is a real need for people to take a break out of their daily routine for some self-care," says Ursula. "People who never gave a thought to mental health before are realizing the benefits of therapies such as hypnosis, and I hope people find the podcast useful in helping them to cope with whatever is happening in their lives."

The HypnoSOS podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify.
