Clinical Hypnotherapy

You know, if you’ve lived here in Britain for any amount of time, the warm summer days won’t last. Before we know it, August will be here. And if you’re like me, you’ll be thinking about getting out those coats and jumpers and preparing for the cooling autumn chill and the ensuing winter cold.

Speaking of this coming August, I wonder if you’ve considered how valuable it will be for you to invest some time and money getting ready for the challenges and opportunities in the months that follow?

All too often, I’ve found there is a tendency for people, myself included, to get caught up in enjoying the summer sunshine (if we’re lucky enough to get it!) and then forget that come September, it’s a different ball game! Because come September, the summer holidays are over, kids go back to school, and for many of us adults, we go back to work… in earnest!

And in the field of coaching, therapy and life change, it’s important to be TOP in your game!

That’s where we come in… We are here to help you be top in your game.

Whatever your game is… NLP, Life Coaching a more therapeutic approach to changing life’s… there’s something you need, that we all need in this field of change, in order to be top in our game. And that is… the ability to work with our client’s unconscious.

And how do we do that? Through hypnosis, of course.

Now you’ve probably had the opportunity, in the course of your personal and/or professional development, to be guided into altered states of consciousness. And it’s quite possible, in the course of your development, you have also done a bit of deep trance work. In fact, you may even have learned some techniques yourself as part of your other training.

Whatever the case, you’re surely aware that hypnosis is one of the most powerful ways to influence and affect positive personal change. And for those who are top in their game, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy is the most frequently utilised tool set for affecting personal change.

So, with that in mind… We invite you to consider, for your self, and for your loved ones and your clients as well, how developing your skill as a Clinical Hypnotherapist can contribute to YOU being at the top of your game.

And with that in mind, we invite you to join us, in Newcastle upon Tyne, for your Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy Training. Because we want you, and all others like you who are committed to positive personal change, for your self and for others, to have the tools you need to be top in your game.

And as you might expect, we’ve scheduled the next five month Clinical Hypnotherapy Diploma course in August, just in time for you to work on your game, ready for the change in seasons. So while The Barbecue Summer is still upon us, we invite you to consider how valuable it is for you to set aside the time and money to invest in your self… for your self, and for the ones you serve.

And there are just 3 places left on the five month Clinical Hypnotherapy Training ( requires NLP Practitioner ) so make sure you reserve your place now so you can then relax until August, knowing… you’ll be doing what you need to be top in your game, and continue to enjoy The Barbecue Summer… while it lasts!

This series of hints and tips for surviving and making something very positive and meaningful happen for yourself in this time of a so called recession is coming to an end. Now why is that?

Well if you haven’t already, it is time to start putting your plans into action and if you haven’t made plans yet … remember all those exercises in the previous hints and tips? …. Its time to do them before you take action.

Its time to do the things that will differentiate you from the millions of self help book readers to move from a reader to a doer.

Doing something to change how you feel, change your situation and connect deeply with whom and with what is really important to you will make massive difference in your life … and this step to change … is often much smaller that you may have previously imagined.

Crisis, Global Problems, Traumatic Events and Swine Flu all have an innate potential to bring people closer together, the kinds of people who in the face of adversity come together to help and be-friend one another. So now may have never been a better time to forge new friendships and relationships with like minded people who share your interests, desire, passion and need to make positive change happen in your life and those around you.

How about taking and making opportunities to deepen and connect further the positive friendships you already have? You can also be there to help your friends and colleges too.

Getting Stuff Done

Make an honest commitment to yourself to spending a set amount of time each day fully focused on attaining your outcome / goals.  Stop talking and start doing and keep your sense of humour.

“A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step“

Lao Tzu

Give up any unrealistic expectations that you will achieve your most meaningful outcomes overnight and with little or no work.  If your goals are really meaningful and worthwhile you can, at the end of each day measure your smallest achievements and feel good about those. And if you can … and you can … a sense of gratitude for what you have.

You may begin to feel surprised by what you can achieve with a little commitment, over time - lets say one week or one month from now. A professional life coach may be of some real utility here, at least in the early stages.

“When eating an elephant take one bite at a time”

Creighton Abrams

Make some time to see your friends and share your thoughts and ideas, you know, having fun and sharing with good friends, talking things through makes a big difference in life, and that difference can be the difference that makes the difference.

I work with many clients here in Newcastle, Hexham and in the North East to help with weight loss and to start feeling much better about body image.

There are many articles about Lily’s success with hypnosis, how she has lost weight kept it off and even enjoys going to the gym. Lily paid around £300 per hour for hypnosis and over several sessions.

If you are thinking about getting into a better shape and starting to feel better about yourself and you want to use hypnosis because its natural and drug free or because everything else you have tried to lose weight has failed then …

I can help you to help yourself to make very positive changes and unlike yo-yo dieting help you find the continued drive, attitude and honest motivation to make your changes stick.

Unlike Lily’s hypnotist I work with real people with real issues and as such don’t charge over £300 per hour. A two hour Clinical Hypnotherapy session with me costs £85 that is only around £42 per hour.

• You want to lose weigh?
• You want to feel better in and about yourself?
• And you want to do it with hypnosis?

Clean Therapy ™

Image via Wikipedia

The March event for the Trance Cafe is Clean Therapy ™.  Newcastle upon Tyne Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis practice group.

This is the current evolution and culmination of my own experience, practice and successful application of content free therapeutic process of the previous six years.

I was initially introduced to ‘Clean Language‘ the work of the late David Grove modelled as Symbolic Modelling from Penny Thomkins and James Lawley.

My association and work with John Grinder opened up, from this very useful beginning what Clean Elicitation ™ ( cleanlanguage is a functional sub-set of this ) really is and can be.

The work of Lakoff and Johnson in terms of Metaphor, and my background in software engineering, physics and math allowed me to apply what is necessarily and possibly possible to this field in terms of real and likely connection.

The result is Clean Therapy. This is a provocative, opportunistic and humanistic approach to change. This is a process oriented methodology to creating and engendering change with clients and yourself - At a very, very  specific level.

The basic variables involved are time, space and ‘logical’ categories.  The level of work involved can be defined as pseudo ‘real’ or ‘metaphorical’.  All problems are shuffled to a higher or metaphorical level where the usual conscious mind processes are quite literally disengaged.

This is another way of re-quoting Einstein’s famoused words that the thinking involved in problem formulation ‘will not necessarily’ be the thinking ( actions  ) involved in problem resolution.

This workshop in March 09 will demonstrate and deliver Solution Focused Clean Therapy interventions.

There are 12 places on this event and the price is £15.00. This is a three hour training from 6-9 pm on March 4th.
