Here is the third selection of photos from my 100 Happy Days project.

Day 21: A sign on the back of a toilet door in Stafford train station. Made me giggle at 6am on a cold Wednesday morning as I headed to London for a busy day of clients!

Day 28: Coming home from a long day at Harley Street to find this picture drawn by Lola (it's a picture of herself and the sun "because I like the sun Mummy" - just in case you were wondering!)

In my original post I mentioned that I would be conducting a bit of an experiment within this photo project.

I told you about the research that I’m involved in, which (through a couple of short questionnaires) calibrates my clients levels of anxiety, depression and general sense of wellbeing from session to session.  The results (gathered over a period of time) are to be used in order to provide solid evidence to the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) that Cognitive Hypnotherapy is effective at helping people to overcome these kinds of issues.

I decided to fill in the same questionnaires that I give to my clients on days 1, 25, 50, 75 and 100 of the project, to see what a difference taking these photos has made to my levels of happiness.  In theory, the anxiety and depression scores should reduce and the wellbeing score should increase.

On Day 1 of the project, my scores were as follows:

  • Anxiety:  8
  • Depression:  8
  • Wellbeing:  21

On Day 25 of the project, these were my results:

  • Anxiety:  6
  • Depression:  6
  • Wellbeing:  22

Looking good so far!

Stay tuned for the next update of photos in 10 days time… 🙂
