Hypnotherapy

The basic principle to remember with any form of therpay is that you have to want to change within yourself otherwise the time and money that you and others spend it wasted. I had been having panic attacks on and off for about 4 years and one day I decided that enough was enough. I was on a training course in London and started having almighty palpatations, i went into blind panic which lasted for about 15 minutes. After the journey home I arranged to meet a hypnotherapist during one lunchtime and from the moment I met him I knew that I was in safe hands. For a person who has panic attacks, to implicitly trust someone is very hard. But my hynotherapist was ...  Read the complete review

I started smoking when I was fifteen years old as I thought it was the 'cool' thing to do at the time and all my friends did it, so I wanted to fit in with the gang!! When I got to about 18 years old I really regretted my decision but by that time it was too late and I was addicted! I continued throughout my life smoking, I actually thought that I enjoyed it and loved nothing more than a smoke with my drink on a weekend. It was only when I got married and my husband and I wanted to try for a baby that reality dawned on me. Research shows that smokers find it more difficult to conceive a baby than smokers do. Also the thought ran through my head that I ...  Read the complete review

I have had a phobia about injections and blood tests for as long as I can remember. Actually that's a lie. I can remember being five years old and the doctor telling my mum I would need a blood test. I remember asking "what's a blood test?" (oh blissful ignornace!) So prior to this I did not have a phobia! On the day of the blood test I do not remember being scared until the doctor rolled up my sleeve and told me to "keep very still as I'm going to insert a needle in your vein and if you move your arm the vein will split". Well, calmness turned into hysteria. The nurse tried to hold me down to no avail. The docotr finally ...  Read the complete review

Hypnotherapy and hypnosis are two very different practices which are often confused. Whereas hypnosis is often used as entertainment to make people eat raw onions, think they're washing machines or have orgasms every time they hear a Rolling Stones record, hypnotherapy is a long-recognised psychotherapeutic practice which can be helpful in many psychological and emotional conditions. Freud himself was a big fan of hypnosis as a tool to reveal the subconscious and unconscious conflicts which he believed caused mental illness, and in the 1930s to the 1960s it was popular to be put under whilst taking LSD. Cary Grant was just one of many Hollywood celebrities ...  Read the complete review

As a qualified Hypnotherapist I am obviously going to review this favourably. I trained at a hospital under 2 very experienced hypnotherapists back in 1999 so I've been practising for a while now. Firstly I'd like to point out I do not do stage hypnosis, there was the option to learn this on our course but I declined as I never wanted to go on stage and create funny situations but I wanted to be able to help people. I also did learn past life regression but do not practice this either. Secondly I want to clear up the myth that you are not aware of what is being said to you during hypnotherapy, I have been hypnotised many times as part of the ...  Read the complete review
