Phobias

Interesting article on phobias in todays Daily Mail.....

Spiders, snakes, claps of thunder — we can have phobias about anything.

But new ­research has revealed that while they often run in families, that’s not because we genetically inherit them, but because we learn them from our parents.

As a clinical practitioner who’s worked in the field for 20 years, I’m not at all surprised by the new research. We learn so much from our parents; why not our phobias, too?

But, actually, it’s more complicated than scientists from Rutgers University in New Jersey, who conducted the study, have suggested.

As a ­toddler, if your mother screamed the first time you proudly showed her the spider you’d just found, her behaviour certainly primed you to find spiders ­frightening, too.

Hypnotherapy for Happiness

It’s a recognized reality that happiness level won’t stay constant. It is a changeable and the issues that define a person’s happiness can change from individual to individual.

Hypnosis Can Assist Students in Exams

Over recent months I have been invited into various schools in the East Riding area to perform hypnosis on students either struggling with exams or to help alleviate stress. The sessions I carried out had incredible results so it is great to see that hypnosis for students is being recognised internationally. The following is an excerpt froman article in the Mayo Advertiser....

Many students who do not necessarily excel throughout the academic year suddenly seem to do well once it comes to exam time. At the same time, many exemplary students freeze when placed in an exam situation even though they would have no problem at all with the tasks set in a different environment.Read More

Attention! Professional Hypnotherapists. Want more business in 2011?

Dear Colleague

Please accept my apologies for the intrusion in your time if this is not something your Hypnotherapy business needs at this time.

Let me introduce myself. I am a Hypnotherapist, just like you. I am based in a Doctors surgery in East Yorkshire. I currently see on average 35-50 clients per week for my weight control system that incorporates a Virtual Gastric Band. I have proved the system in trials and most recently delivered the system in the USA. My website details all the media attention that I have received because of this. My aim is to get the NHS to take this system on board so that more people benefit, not just those that can afford to see a Therapist. I am currently engaged in talks and further trials with medical practitioners to facilitate this.

This year I am scheduling just three training dates for other Hypnotherapists who may wish to use this system within their practice and learn how to attract more clients.

The training seminars are to be held on the following weekends:

Birmingham Village Hotel, Walsall Saturday 29th- Sunday 30th January

Manchester Village Hotel, Ashton Saturday 4th-Sunday 5th February

Edinburgh 12th-13th February (Venue TBA)

The training includes a manual on the Virtual Gastric Band programme, a ‘marketing yourself’ manual and certification; I will also do a ‘live’ demo with a real client. Places on the courses are strictly limited.

If you think this would be beneficial to your own business, or you would like to discuss my system further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kindest Regards

Sheila Granger

Hypnotherapy for Post Traumatic Stress

Since July, a Washington State University doctoral student and an education professor have treated more than 30 adults with a form of hypnosis as part of a study to improve the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

PTSD doesn't just affect soldiers. Witnesses to violence, survivors of life-threatening diseases and victims of abuse can have it, too. Many of the study participants underwent severe sexual abuse as children.

Prof. Arreed Barabasz said that while veterans of trauma survived the act -- be it watching a fellow soldier die in Afghanistan or enduring years of sexual abuse -- they will relive and survive it many times in their minds for years to come.

Hypnotherapy for Depression

You see, our subconscious mind is very vital to attracting and achieving success. Are you familiar with the Secret? the Secret states that to be able to attract positive vibes, you would have to have a very positive mind, or something like that. “But my mind is good enough!” you say. Your conscious mind, maybe. but what about your subconscious mind?

The subconscious mind is where all our emotions and thoughts are stored in. It’s called the “back burner.” When we get angry at somebody and we don’t want it to affect our work, we tend to put them in the back burner and, ultimately, forget about it. However, what we put in our subconscious mind stays in the subconscious mind unless we clear it ourselves.
