Stop Smoking and Hypnosis – what happens in a session?
In a typical stop smoking with hypnosis - one of the questions I ask is: "what benefit do you get from smoking?" EVERYONE answers "none". But there must be some benefit otherwise you wouldn't smoke. While in a deeper trance, I ask the question again - responses will vary from "it helps me with stress", "I feel more confident with a [...]
Stop Smoking and Hypnosis.
Using hypnosis to stop smoking can identify that part of you that has sabotaged your efforts in the past. Your subconscious mind works for your benefit and will not relinquish a habit unless the underlying need it serves is met with an alternative more beneficial substitute is offered. This is the re-programming aspect of hypnosis and NLP to [...]
Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy – How to overcome unwanted habits
With the past it is not the event itself that triggers the unwanted response/habit, it is the meaning we attribute to the event that gives it significance. for example, when I think of my grandmother, I'm immediately transported to the smell of freshly baked bread and I'm in her kitchen, remembering the love and warmth of it - not the actual [...]
Why hypnosis works
You know that you can have insight and be logical about your problem but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the blushing, anxiety, stress with attempts to stop smoking, lose weight etc. Why? Because we reason with the logical part of the mind, the left side, and where is the hurt that prompted the problem in the first place - it's in [...]
What hypnotherapists do
Hypnotherapists do not "rescue" you from whatever problem you have whether it is anxiety, smoking, nail biting etc. Your hypnotherapist helps you to discover or learn more resourceful ways of thinking, behaving, acting, responding so that you are empowered. It is only with finding these resources from within will you ever truly overcome [...]
Stop Smoking and Hypnosis
Why do you smoke? Do you think it helps with stress, keeps your weight down? Or is it simply something to do. Some of you may smoke from pure habit - it's break-time, have a cigarette. Or perhaps you smoke when you feel anxious or stressed? If you are thinking about giving up cigarettes, it is important to look at what motivates you to [...]
Fear of Flying Anxiety/Nervous and What Hypnosis Does.
When do you get anxious about flying? Does talk of booking a flight start to nauseate you or is it when you start to pack? Everyone is different when it comes to how anxious they are and when these symptoms begin. If you have never flown before then of course there is a natural apprehension about flying -it's an unnatural thing to do. So, [...]
Motivation and Hypnosis.
Whatever change you want to make, you need some form of motivation or otherwise you would not change. Make change is never easy whether it is to stop smoking, lose weight, get focused on the job you want, motivation to set up your own business, gain confidence you will need some help. Hypnosis is such a focused tool at your disposal to give you [...]
Motivate Yourself with Hypnosis
What plans do you have? Do you imagine a life different to what you have now? Do you follow through on your plans? Perhaps you never make plans, just drifting one day to the next, fed up that you don't have all you want. Planners: When you make plans, it is important to write them. Divide up all the areas of your life and make a [...]
Anxiety and Hypnosis
All focus (or so it seems) is on you - you feel your face going red, your heart beating as though it is about to jump out your chest (or your mouth), sweating palms, you begin to dissociate, your mouth becomes dry or stops working and you feel as though you are slurring your words. Does this seem familiar? You are not alone. Every dealing [...]
