What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is about using the mind to bring about positive changes.

What Does It Feel Like, When Under Hypnosis?

I describe it as a bit of a dreamy state drifting in and out.

Most of the time you will be aware of your surroundings and what the Hypnotherapist is saying.

Three Types Of Hypnotherapy

I personally categorise Hypnotherapy into three main sections which I term as:

Regression Hypnotherapy

Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy

Standard Hypnotherapy.

 Very basically:

Regression Hypnotherapy is about going back to your past and unlocking negative emotions.

Past Life Regression is about sourcing any past lives you may have had for interest and/or for finding root causes of current problems.

Standard Hypnotherapy is more about things such as Stopping Smoking, Fear of Flying, Nail biting etc.

Regression Hypnotherapy 

I specialise in Regression Hypnotherapy, 90% of my work is with regression clients.

Why do I specialise in regression? Quite simply the results that can be achieved are often just amazing. I have had numerous clients that have had a particular problem for many years and although they tried other forms of treatment the problem was never resolved.

After a number of regression sessions the problem was cured, their life completely turned around, without the aid of drugs or medication. I would also like to add that before they came to see me, most of my clients thought they would have to live with their problem for the rest of their lives.

Regression Hypnotherapy can help with so many things, things you would may not even consider, for example amputees. Hypnotherapy of course cannot replace any missing limbs, but it can help to release any negative emotion attached to the trauma of losing a limb. Negative emotions can have a devastating effect and make it extremely difficult with regards to accepting and coping with current situations; so it is vitally important that negative emotions are released.

If you are in the right frame of mind, that is a positive frame of mind you are better able to cope with matters and consequently feel less stressful. A positive frame of mind produces chemicals that are good for your mind and body, whereas a negative frame of mind does not. The way in which Hypnotherapy can help with almost any problem is to keep the mind as positive as possible.

Hypnotherapy, therefore, does and can help in ways you may not have even thought possible.

Based on my personal experience, there are three very important things to recognise, as follows:

No1:Past negative emotions can have a devastating affect on your current life right now and in many cases you will not even consciously be aware of them. How scary is that?

No2: Your subconscious mind does not forget anything at all. It is all stored there, neatly filed away.

No3: Negative emotions do not weaken over time, they have the same devastating effect, strength and power they had when they were first established, no matter how long ago that may be.

I often quote a client of mine who was 85 years old when she first came to see me. This lady was totally unaware consciously, the reason why she felt and reacted in the way she did, she had absolutely no idea. She had been feeling this way since she was about five years old and although she had sought help over the years she could not find a cure. Finally as a last resort she decided to try Hypnotherapy.

I used Regression Hypnotherapy, within a few sessions we found the root cause of her problem together with the negative emotion that was attached to that problem and released it. During the release of this negative emotion the strength, ferocity and power was just the same as the first day it was formed, some 80 years earlier, time had shown no weakening and no mercy.

The subconscious mind is far more powerful than the conscious mind

Each Regression Session lasts between one and two hours.

Past Life Regression
Now, I must admit many years ago I did not believe in this sort of thing, I was very much of the opinion that when you were dead you were dead and that was that. How wrong can one be? Now many years later and based on my own personal experiences as well as that of many clients who have undertaken a past life session/experience my views and opinions have changed completely.

Of course when we die our physical bodies are dead but we are much more than physical we are of spirit and soul, so, where do they go, what happens to them? Food for thought!

I have never had a past life client who during the session became someone famous or even well known, they have all been just ordinary everyday people doing ordinary every day things, this to me makes it even more convincing. The details some clients receive are astonishing and it is the small details that can be so convincing for example the intricate detail of a wooden fire surround, an uneven brick floor with a loose brick that was used to hide money, a detailed description of a property including the name and the name of the occupants the list goes on.

Many clients check out the information they receive during a past life regression session to find to their amazement most if not all of the information is true.

Each past life session will be different and there is no guarantee that you will even go into a past life or when you do you will obtain any real evidence that you can check out later.

During the beginning of a past life session I will be directing you, helping you to get to a certain point, but after this point the rest will be very much be up to you; how much control you will let go of, your willingness to go completely with what you are feeling, to accept what is going through your mind and go with it without question, with out reasoning. Some clients find it very easy indeed other not so.

Once you are in a past life you will usually find one of three things or a mix of all three:

In your minds eye you will be looking at what may seem like a film, with you in it but, seeing it as a third party. You are actually reliving this past life, so you are part of what you are seeing and what is taking place. You are unaware of anything else, you are only aware of what is taking place right now at this very moment in this past life. You feel emotions but do not get any visualisation of what is taking place or why you feel the way you do. Sometimes if it is just emotion based; your mind could be just in a kind of blackness, you can see nothing but black and this blackness is associated with this emotion. In this case very often the blackness will fade away and the cause of the emotion be revealed.

Emotions experienced in a past life can be very strong indeed both good and bad.

When a client is reliving a past life they are totally unaware of my presence in the same room. Sometimes when I decide to speak the normal reaction is ‘who said that, who are you’ I just quietly confirm who I am and everything seems to be ok again. I mention this to demonstrate just how deeply they are involved with their past life. It is a bit like you and I talking right now and then suddenly a voice is heard, this voice seemingly coming out of nowhere, out of the blue, not related at all to the surroundings they feel they are in. Wouldn’t we ask, "Who is that, who are you"?

Past life sessions can be used for purely interest or for finding the root cause of problems that we carry around with us today.

Each Past Life Session lasts between one and two hours.

Standard Hypnotherapy 

Standard Hypnotherapy is ideal for general problems such as building confidence, positive thinking, releasing stress, anger management, depression etcetera.

Want To Lose weight?

Being over weight can bring lots of problems and not least many very serious irreversible life threatening illnesses. If you are well over weight you are taking a great risk that you may well pay a hefty price for.

Losing weight should be taken very seriously because of the very serious consequences if you do not. In my opinion, therefore, you should undertake a professional weight loss course. Making half hearted attempts by using so called quick fix methods or diets lead to nowhere over the long term. It is the long term that you need to aim for if you want to try to avoid risking life threatening irreversible illnesses, not to mention all the other disadvantages being over weight brings.

Is being over weight simply the cause of eating more than your body needs to survive and taking in more calories than required? If it was then reducing your food intake, eating healthily and throwing in a certain amount of exercise as a good measure should produce a lean, slim, healthy body, if only it was that simple! Losing weight should be easy as we are often given the impression it is but in truth (at least in most cases) it’s not. It is often involved, complicated and depends very much on each individual’s past experiences and character. In my opinion, an individual approach is required, one that can be adapted to suit each individual’s particular needs so that they are successful over the long term.

There can be many reasons as to why someone apparently cannot lose weight and just as many more reasons as to why the weight just keeps increasing. My experience has shown, it is not always your fault. Explanation as follows:

It is often your mind that plays the most important role when it comes to losing weight and more often than not your mind is not involved in most weight loss methods including diets. Your mind controls. I am sure you have heard the saying ‘You are what you think.’ I will take that a stage further and say ‘You are what your subconscious mind thinks.’ Now, it’s quite likely that you are not consciously aware of all what your subconscious mind is thinking and it can be thinking all sorts of things, things that could well be sabotaging all and every one of your weight loss efforts, and if this is the case you will never win over the long term, period!

Is your subconscious mind sabotaging your weight loss efforts? Ask yourself the following questions:

Do I eat large portions of food, even though I know I don’t need them?
Do I constantly eat the wrong types of food, although I know I shouldn’t?
Do I continually snack, when I feel there is no need to eat?
Do I eat when I am not hungry, but feel I still need to eat?
Do I have an addiction to a particular type of food?

There are many more questions you could ask yourself but I am sure you get the idea.

If you can relate to any or all of the above questions then there is a strong possibility that your subconscious mind is adversely affecting your weight loss efforts by keeping active some hidden negative emotions that stem from your past or at the very least you have some open negative emotions that you are aware of, but that need to be released.

What Are Hidden and Open Negative Emotions?
 

Hidden Negative Emotions
 

Negative emotions are usually established from way back in our past and can be described as somewhere between a passing hurtful comment to a barrage of put downs by parents, peers, school mates etc and include stressful, fearful situations and experiences. These negative experiences can create strong negative emotions that can be still very much alive and active in the subconscious mind even though you are consciously unaware of them.

To some people these past issues will have little to no effect whilst others will have a profound devastating effect for the rest of their lives until these negative emotions are released.

For example: You have negative emotions that relate to hurtful comments and putdowns that did have an effect on you. The result could be that you are now suffering from low self-esteem and low self worth, which in turn could be the main reasons as to why you can’t lose weight or in deed for gaining the weight in the first place.

How Does This Happen?

Quite simply underneath all your conscious efforts and determination to lose weight your subconscious mind could be saying such things as; you don’t deserve to look slim—you have no right to feel good about yourself etc. And because your subconscious mind is by far more powerful than your conscious mind your subconscious mind will always win in the long term.

Open Negative Emotions
 

Open negative emotions are negative emotions from our past that we are consciously aware of, but often choose to ignore because they can be too painful to recall or face. These open negative emotions can also be the cause of your weight gain or the reason you can’t seem to lose any weight. To rectify this problem these open negative emotions need to be released otherwise long term weight loss will always allude you.

How can you find out if your subconscious mind is sabotaging your weight loss efforts, and how do you go about releasing negative emotions both hidden and open? Simply by undertaking Regression Hypnotherapy sessions

Your subconscious mind holds the key to so many things and not least your weight. Past unpleasant, hurtful or just bad experiences or situations can (whether you are consciously aware of them or not) play a major roll in your current actions and thinking and if these actions are affecting your weight they need to be addressed before you undertake anything else!

To lose weight you need a well laid out, proven attack plan that includes
Dealing with and releasing hidden and open negative emotions.
Changing the way you currently think and feel about food.
Breaking bad food habits and replacing them with good food habits.
Releasing you from any food addiction.
Support; personal support that is, until you achieve your weight loss goal. Support can be the difference between failure and success..
The building of your self-confidence and your self worth along the way.
 

My weight loss course includes all of the above, I also use specialised sound technology that enables the changes to take place more quickly and deeply. I produce personally recorded CDs for each client’s individual and personal needs. I also incorporate other methods if I feel it will benefit my client such as E.F.T (Emotional Freedom Technique)

My weight loss course is adjusted for each individual client. I do not operate a ‘one fits all policy.’ Some clients will require more time and effort on certain aspects of the course than others, there are no hard and fast rules. For this reason it is very difficult to place a time scale on how long it will take and how many sessions will be required. The length of the course and how many sessions will be required is very much determined by the client and the rate of progress being made.

I can give you an example of just how varied the time scale and number of sessions required can be. I always start the course with Regression sessions. Once these Regression sessions have been successfully completed (and assuming there were negative emotions to be found and released) this sometimes can be all that is required. My client now feels and thinks differently, their view on food has changed and changed enough to immediately stop the actions that were creating the weight gain or stopping any weight loss. This is nothing to do with willpower, it is something my client wants to do and now feels it is natural to do. So, it may only take a few sessions for some clients, whilst for others it may be necessary to complete the whole course over several months.

The course does need to be viewed as a long term commitment to be stopped when the goal is reached. The sessions can be once a week, once every two or three weeks or even once a month, it doesn’t really matter, what does matter is that the sessions are regular. If you decided for instance on monthly sessions then that would cost £55.00 per month (£55.00 per session) plus there would be an additional cost for each personal CD I produce for you ranging from £25.00 to £45.00 per CD.

An added benefit you will receive from the course is that you will begin to feel much more relaxed and calmer within yourself and as the sessions progress you will be able to drift into a very deep inner peace.

Stop Smoking

I offer a Stop Smoking Course which comprises of two Hypnotherapy Sessions and four CDs all personally recorded at a cost of £175.00.

If, for any reason you are unable to make arrangements for the two Hypnotherapy Sessions I provide a CD course that comprises of four special CDs one of which will contain information personal to you at a cost of £97.00. I can arrange for you to receive the four CDs by a special download link or by post.

You will need to contact me direct, so I can to obtain your information which I require to personalise one of the CDS.

The titles of the four CDs are as follows:

Reducing Addiction

Breaking The Habit

Disliking a Cigarette

Taking Away The Stress

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

This is an alternative to Hypnotherapy, for people who may feel better suited to a different approach to solving their problem/s EFT could well be the answer!

EFT is a non-invasive technique that can release negative emotions and can in most cases bring a permanent release from many physical and emotional problems in just minutes. It is painless, has no known side effects, and at times, is little short of miraculous. Although, the techniques used may seem a little strange at first, they are based on solid scientific principles.

 EFT works on a variety of issues including:

Addictive Cravings: food, cigarettes, chocolate.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks.

Physical complaints including Headaches, Migraines and Back Pain.

Compulsions and Obsessions.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Insomnia.

Pre-Menstrual Tension.

Phobias and Fears.

Personal Sports performance: enhanced performance.

Public Speaking.

 So What Is EFT.

It is similar to Acupuncture, but instead of using needles EFT uses a tapping method. Tapping on certain parts and points of your body mainly your face, hands and sides of your body. The points being tapped are the same points used in Acupuncture.

EFT is based on the discovery, that imbalances in the body’s energy system have profound effects on one’s personal psychology. Correcting these imbalances is done by tapping on certain body locations, which often leads to rapid remedies. By rapid, I mean most of the problems vanish in minutes!!!

The Body’s Energy System
Our bodies have a profound electrical nature. Any beginners course in anatomy covers this. Shuffle your feet across a carpet and then touch an item made of metal. Sometimes you can see the static electricity that is discharged from your fingertip. This would not be possible unless your body had an electrical nature to it. If you touch a hot stove you will feel pain instantly because it is electrically transmitted along the nerves to your brain. The pain travels at the speed of electricity and that is why you feel pain so quickly. Electrical messages are constantly sent throughout your body to keep it informed of what is going on. Without this energy flow you would not be able to see, hear, feel, taste or smell.

 Another obvious bit of evidence regarding the existence of electricity (energy) in the body are the electroencephalograph (EEG) and electrocardiograph (ECG). The EEG records the electrical activity of the brain and the ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. These devices have been used by medical science for decades and are the ones you see in TV hospital dramas hooked up to dying patients. When the screen stops “blipping” the patient is dead.

Our electrical systems are vital to our physical health. What could be more obvious? When the energy stops flowing – we die. Ask your doctor about this. No one disputes it.

In fact, civilization has known about this for millennia. About 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered a complex system of energy circuits that run throughout the body. These energy circuits or meridians as they are called are the centrepiece of Eastern health practices and form the basis for modern day acupuncture, acupressure and a wide variety of other healing techniques.

This energy courses through the body and is invisible to the eye. It cannot be seen without high tech equipment. By analogy, you do not see the energy flowing through a TV set either. You know it is there, however, by its effects. The sounds and pictures are your ever present evidence that the energy flow exists.

In the same way, EFT gives you striking evidence that energy flows within your body because it provides the effects that let you know it is there. By simply tapping near the end points of your energy meridians you can experience some profound changes in your emotional and physical health. These changes would not occur if there was no energy system.

Western medical science tends to focus on the chemical nature of the body and has not paid much attention to these subtle, but powerful, energy flows until recent years. They do, however, exist and are attracting an expanding group of researchers.

A growing number of health practitioners are finding ways to use this vital energy system to help physical healing. Acupuncture, massage therapy and chiropractas are but a few of them. Bookstore shelves are loaded with books on energy meridian techniques to promote good physical health.

Dr. Callahan’s First Experience

The science behind EFT was not developed like many other discoveries. That is, it was not created in a laboratory and then tested in the real world. Instead a stunning turn of events in the real world pointed the way first. Here is the story:

In 1980 Dr. Roger Callahan was working with a patient, Mary, for an intense water phobia. She suffered from frequent headaches and terrifying nightmares, both of which were related to her fear of water. To seek help she had been going from therapist to therapist for years, with no material improvement.

Dr Callahan tried to help her by conventional means for a year and a half. He didn’t make much headway either.

Then one day he stepped outside the normal “boundaries” of psychotherapy. Out of curiosity, he had been studying the body’s energy system and decided to tap with his fingertips under her eyes (an end point of the stomach meridian). This was prompted by her complaint of some stomach discomfort.

To his astonishment, she announced immediately that her phobia was gone and she raced down to a nearby swimming pool and began throwing water in her face. No Fear. No Headaches. It all went away, including the nightmares. It has never returned. She is totally free of her water phobia. Results like that are rare in the field of psychotherapy but commonplace with EFT.

For more information I would recommend you visit one of the official E.F.T. sites such as www.emofree.com and look at the video as well as all the other information that is available.
