Therapies
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a powerful yet gentle therapy dating back to 377 BC! It is used for a wide range of conscious and unconscious issues including anxiety, lack of confidence, motivation, insomnia, phobias, fears, bad habits etc.
Can I be Hypnotised? Yes, as long as you have Imagination, Concentration and Positive Intentions. (*also see the full Questions answered section)
Am I conscious? Yes, Hypnosis is a state of guided relaxation, similar to a trance which is non guided, a bit like day-dreaming
How long will it take? one session will usually take an hour, more sessions may be needed depending on the issue
Does it last? If you want make changes, Hypnosis is a fantastic way to give you that opportunity. However, like anything you need to keep self focussed for the best results. If you don't want change and intentionally go against it, Hypnosis cannot 'make' or 'force' you.
IEMT
Integral Eye Movement Therapy is a fast, stand alone two session (plus follow up) therapy, and it can be used in conjunction with other therapies. It utilises simple eye movements and questioning techniques for rapid change by removing negative emotions and the pictures associated with a bad memory, as well as working with your identity.
These techniques create transformation by reducing unwanted feelings and helping you to resolve issues.
For Anxiety, Panic and Fear, IEMT shows you the underlying reasons why you suffer from anxiety, repeat unwanted behaviors and it removes these without the need for digging into the past.
Unlike many psychological therapeutic processes, it can be done content free so you do not always have to talk about the details about your experience or painful memories of events, I am happy to listen if you feel it is important to share, however IEMT can be a “secret therapy” so you do not need to give me any details.
Used for PTSD, IEMT is incredibly powerful. To date I have used IEMT for a variety of PTSD events, a few examples are: -witnessing a fatal accident, a house fire where client watched his home burn and lost everything, flashbacks from a Royal Marine involved in body recovery after the Tsunami in Thailand in 2005, a woman whose husband had physically and psychologically abused her, she was still suffering nightmares after 10 years, a woman suffering from anxiety and fear after a boating accident.
NLP~Neuro Linguistic Programming
I use NLP as an encompassing therapy which can help you overcome trauma, re-assess and re-balance how you react to things, deal with a range of difficult relationships and even put you off bad habits (smoking, eating chocolate & cake!).
NLP Techniques I use include:
~Values, knowing your values, and their relative importance, is a key to a happy and healthy life
~Timeline, go into your past to release and overcome
Fear, Phobias, Grief, Anger, Hurt and Sadness.
~ Perceptual Positioning, a very powerful technique used to help you to overcome relationship issues whoever they may be with: Parent, Child, Partner, Boss, Employee.
An opportunity to resolve issues without the other person ever knowing.
~Anchoring a positive emotions will enable you to overcome negative responses to any situation.
~ Strategies how we do what we do in order to reach our desired outcome.
For me, NLP's great power is also in understanding how to communicate well and how to live in balance with our own bodies, minds and fellow human beings.
If an NLP Practitioner course is something you wish to pursue for your own personal development, please ask as I am happy to recommend Training Organisations.
