There and then I knew it was time for a serious face to face with my SELF.

There and then I knew it was time for a serious face to face with my SELF.

(WF) I was a Hypnotherapist.... I had tools... I knew the drill...

So I sat down, closed my eyes, and the first thing I did was the parts therapy session.

I HAD to find out why I needed to be so poor.

Of course, you could never have convinced me that I had a NEED to be poor...

I was much too big for that. But I did it anyway.

I did the STOP SABOTAGE session.
The door opened, the light came on, the truth was revealed,

the question was answered.
And everything changed. A miracle happened.
Within three weeks I had $3500, a signed lease on a nice house,

(even though I was a single mom, two kids, no income, bad credit and two, count ‘em TWO, dogs)
I discovered my subconscious motivation to fail.

I released it.
I manifested something that I really did want.
I met my future self and found out what it takes to be worthy of abundance.
I did it all by myself. You can too.

How does hypnotherapy work?

How does hypnotherapy work? M’reen

Well, everything is about something else and without any artificial interventions such as medication, together, we help your subconscious and conscious minds to communicate freely and sort things out 

for your greatest benefit.

There really is no need to be held back by your past,                                                                                                           let it gently go and develop your own bright future. 

My expertise + your willingness = success.

You simply lie back with your eyes closed and simply let it flow, with no need to look at the issue,

as I talk to you weaving suggestion, metaphor and energy therapy.

Suggestion therapy: you accept yourself as … Great for habits, public speaking and much more. 

Metaphor: brilliant as you take what you need to resolve wide-ranging concerns in your life.

Energy: fantastic as your mind works like biological washing powder reaching

the entrenched grime and allowing it to be washed away.

Analytical therapy: successful as we go to the source of the problem and gently heal.

Your solutions lie within you.

I help you find the bridge between your conscious and subconscious minds.

Your problems and solutions are unique to you.

I facilitate only as your mind will not allow me to direct it.

The connection is missing between the logic of ‘I know this is stupid’ and the feeling of ‘I’m terrified’

and it’s my job to help you make this link as you are not aware of its existence, nor can the most sophisticated  microscope find it as it is pure energy, it found a way in so there is an easy way out.

I can’t be hypnotised, she couldn’t be ‘woken-up’.

Photo by M'reen

I can’t be hypnotised, she couldn’t be ‘woken-up’.

Both these statements are false, but, as they say there is no smoke without fire

so let’s look into this a little closer.

Taking, “he couldn’t be woken-up- the hypnotherapist tried everything” first.

When I was training we were told that in such a situation to say that

we charged double for people who didn’t open their eyes when requested.

People might not open their eyes when requested for a number of reasons.

But the most amusing was a guy who decided that he would not open his eyes

and so prove that he was not hypnotised.

I found it perplexing as his eyes were doing the most amazing things as he tried to keep them closed!

Another lady found the trance state to be so relaxing and far removed from the problems

that she had and anticipated facing that she ‘was hanging onto the radiator’ 

in order not to return to the waking state.

If a person is really tired then the subconscious mind says, ‘stuff this hypnosis lark for a game

of soldiers, I’m going to sleep’. Such a person will wake up with the therapist’s reminders

as the subconscious mind also knows that they are not supposed to be sleeping at this time of day

and in this situation. It just might take quite some minutes for this to happen

and the hypnotherapist gets on with the normal daily sounds.

This happened to me when working with a group of blind people, the general noise and movement filtered through to the ‘sleeping’ person but I wondered what the other people might think.

I imagine that they were OK with the situation as during the trance work someone’s guide dog 

reacted to a sound and they all became more alert until the dog relaxed.

A family visited, the father was really very tired and was asleep in no time, the daughter entered 

the trance state, the mother sat on the edge of her chair watching her daughter like a tigress –

the mother stopped smoking and had no desire for cigarettes even though she daily visited a friend

who smoked like a factory chimney.

As an aside, people often snore as their muscles and tissues are so relaxed that snoring

is a natural response. One man had worked with someone else and had experienced temporary results; I found that he couldn’t work with my ‘normal’ style of working so I told him rambling stories

and he snored through four sessions. He told me that they were expensive stories but 

that they worked. His wife rang up six months later to tell me how well he was doing

and that he’s also lost two stones in weight!

I can’t be ‘put under’.

Everyone can enter the state of relaxed conscious awareness given the right situation.

I read a book that said that only one animal and one bird could not be hypnotised.

I’m not sure how they were using the term hypnotised as it sounded more like pure fear to me.

Apparently if you dig a V in the ground and lay a rabbit on its back it will be here when you return from your trip. That if you lay a hen or bird on its side and draw a line with your finger from its beak out then it will lie there until you move it.

See you learn all sorts of interesting things reading my blogs.

Sometimes, if someone had experienced a traumatic event, even one that has been buried so deeply that the person is not consciously aware of the event; that person ‘cannot’ enter the trance state.

This is because the subconscious mind says, ‘been there, done that, and I ain’t doing it again’.

During one period, I was using progressive relaxation to enable people to enter the trance state

and this is to start at someone’s toes and work up the body or start at the head and work down.

Things were working fine until I got to someone’s tummy when she opened her eyes;

we discussed this and we agreed that we would try again and that her tummy could stay alert.

This alertness was repeated during the progressive relaxation and the rest of her body and mind

went into trance beautifully; her tummy probably relaxed with this confidence.

So if the hypnotherapist says that your shoulders relax and you know that at least one is still feeling tense you concentrate and worry about that shoulder and while you are doing that

the rest of your body is relaxing beautifully and eventually so does your shoulder.

I give all my clients a pre session relaxation exercise that some people use for years and others never try once. One guy had impressive results but when he came for his first session he relaxed 

so far into the trance state and then jolted straight out. He wasn’t prepared to find out why 

and at that time I didn’t have any alternative skills. However, even in the security and comfort of his own home he could not walk in his house in the dark and he equated trance as being in the black

while the relaxation exercise lying on his carpet was simply relaxing.

One lady had an understandable vested interest in not being ‘cured’ and she would open her eyes with a wicked gleam until hypnotherapy was proved ‘not to work’.

A very famous hypnotherapist simply could not get a lady to access the trance state,

the lady in question wanted to experience trance. Finally, in extreme frustration he swore at her

and she immediately entered the trance state.

Finally people with far too much will power to be ‘put under’.

People with far too much will power are generally so energetically exhausted and so fearful

of someone else having ‘control’ that they wouldn’t see a hypnotherapist anyway.

Should they do so then their body and mind is so glad to have a rest that they very easily enter

the trance state which is nothing more than an agreement that you will close your eyes and go along with whatever is good for you right now. Just think the simple act of closing your eyes signals to your body that you are going to sleep. In fact, if you close your eyes while thinking or enjoying

an experience your brain starts producing more of the relaxing alpha waves that are the waves 

of trance work.

Phobic or Fearful?

Phobic or fearful ?

The biology:            The body’s chemical response is, incrementally, the same for 

                                      an inappropriate phobia as it is an appropriate fear.

Physical trigger.      Look sad and drop your shoulders and your sad body chemicals will

                                       respond appropriately.

Emotional trigger.  See/think of your fear and your chemicals will race you to anxiety

                                       or panic.

Physical trigger.      Whistle, laugh, and your happy chemicals can’t help but respond.

Emotional trigger.  Decide you can do it – but not like it.

                                       As you modify the emotions so you modify the physical reactions.

1.Physical trigger.  See your feared object, STOP, alter the emotion surrounding the fear

                                      or modify the physical response to modify the emotions.

2.Simple Fear         is rather akin to Simple Anxiety, it revolves around a temporary situation.

                                     Think of a child learning to use an escalator, this is seen as a reasonable

                                     fear/anxiety given the circumstances.

3. There are many things I prefer not to do or to experience, but if I had to do them,             

    then I would and with practice I would become accustomed to those experiences.                     

    I would feel a decreasing level of fear and anxiety until I had mastery/control or familiarity

    with the experience. This is called de-sensitisation (Behaviourism) it is easier in trance.

These three different words (mastery, control, familiarity) represent a different emotional response 

to the situation, as it was an emotional response that was causing the hesitation or fear in the first instance. Think of learning to drive a car; as you become more familiar with driving 

so you become more confident.

If the fear of escalators or driving continues then I may choose to work with the underlying emotional reasons and release the need or cause of that fear.         

The Behaviourists call ‘jumping in at the deep end’ of your fear ‘flooding’ and they call ‘getting used to it’ as ‘extinguishing’, they discount emotional responses. I prefer to use hypnotherapy and Emotrance with, maybe, NLP to assist you to find your own resources.

A Controlling Habit may be, or may become, a Phobia that may lead to Panic, or to an obsessive –compulsive reaction. This is something that is seen as inappropriate behaviour for the current circumstances, not only by the person themselves but also by others.

It is the fear of a fear - not of an actual danger. One is not afraid of the spider but of what the spider represents to you. There is a difference in being afraid (aware of the potential) when you see 

an actual spider and being on continual red alert for spiders. 

The phobia has become something of a compulsive habit.

 e.g. FLYING

Consciously

A 1985 CBS News poll found that 20% of callers were unable to fly and a further 24% 

were a little anxious. This means that 80% were able to fly and 74% were not anxious,

don’t those big figures now seem better. So, statistics don’t make you feel any easier,

the conscious mind may accept them but the subconscious mind does not.

I offer skills that will enable you to physically relax emotionally relax and mentally relax

and this will result in keeping your panic/phobic/fearful/stress chemicals in check as fear 

and relaxation are at the opposite ends of the scale. We then work on the underlying reasons.

First recognise and accept the signs of anxiety, stress, and/or fear as normal for you

at this time. You may recognise these feelings in other areas of your life and note how you successfully use the stress busting techniques I offer. You are now becoming in control

until you reach the stage of letting go of your fear and the need for these skills, all in your own time and in your own way. This may be achieved through understanding how your fear starts, 

how it builds and what you can do about it on a conscious level so leading to control.

Or your fear may become a thing of the past by simply flowing it all away in Emotrance 

or using some other energy intervention without examining the fear or even voicing it out loud.

As soon as you become aware of the first signs of stress, you can defuse it either consciously by using one of the stress busting skills given, or through our trance work together, or you may simply tell yourself to relax or give yourself a signal to relax. Sounds easy doesn’t it ?

Anything is easy once you know how and have practised the skill or recognised and accepted 

the experience. In any debate between the conscious and subconscious mind

the subconscious ALWAYS wins, that is why working in trance is so effective,

as we re-tape the memories or associations. Whatever happened, happened,

but your response to that event can change.

Emotionally

Sometimes a simple phobia that has been holding you up for years can be vanquished

in one session. Why and how the fear began and what made it grow may be tackles in ways which 

suit you so that e.g. flying may become just one of those things you do.

It may even rate the same stress level as travelling by car or train as long as the ‘flying’ fear 

has not spilled into these areas. (Just the travelling I mean, not the whole experience of being late etc.)

If you feel it is necessary, we can work on the time factor of flying, you can slow things down or speed them up, just think how long a boring visit takes and how time zips by

when you’re having fun. Let’s zip the time on that transatlantic flight.

But this should not be necessary once we’ve sorted out the cause, symptom and response.

Our last session could include a virtual reality flight, as you take your flight from first suggestion 

to unpacking when you get home. Your mind experiences this as real,

so you recognise this as a successful trip.

We could work on understanding the source of your fear if this is appropriate

and this can be done in a variety of ways.

You may wish to deal with the situation directly or indirectly the choice is always yours.

Should you choose to work with the incident that you think started your fear you may find that 

this might not be the original event; one client discovered a pre-school trauma

that he had blanked from memory. His parents verified this event.

One way to work is to work on a more positive perception of the incident or to re-record

the video/memory of the event. This is re-programming or re-framing of your understanding of the event and therefore your response to future events.

We could work on the emotions surrounding flying.

We could work on experiencing the different aspects of flying in a positive manner.

It is probable that we will touch on all the above areas in some way.

We could work with your dreams or if there is a Past Life reason

– which would be worked on as above.

It can be a struggle sometimes, but you are struggling with your chosen therapist

and that makes all the difference.

Kaa, The Jungle Book snake and Hypnotherapy

When you think of hypnosis do you think of Kaa?

Unfortunately I do not know the name of the author.

When you think of hypnosis do you think of Kaa, the snake from the Jungle Book

using those spiralling eyes to lure the unsuspecting Mowgli, or do you think of Paul McKenna

apparently manipulating volunteers from his audience to provide entertainment for the rest of us?

Well, hypnotherapy is nothing like that, but those are often questions that I’m asked.

Over the years the media has sensationalise hypnosis.  Stage hypnosis has the purpose

of entertaining. Hypnotherapy has the purpose of helping you help yourself; the ‘hypnosis’ needs

the addition of ‘therapy’ to provide very real therapeutic value, especially when applied

to our health and state of mind.

Most of us are aware of the harm caused by stress and anxiety, but how do we normally

go about treating it? For headaches and migraines we get painkillers, for nerve rashes

and skin disorders we get cream, and for depression and nervous tension we get tranquillisers. 

These are all outside things that are being used to affect an inside (emotional energy) concern. Conventional medicine is primarily concerned with treating the symptoms,

the effects of stress and anxiety, without really attempting to alleviate the causes.

Therefore, the problem continues to exist. In trance we work with the cause.

It is rarely possible to simply remove the outside source of stress –

such as work, relationship, family troubles etc. – so what can we do is on the inside.

To begin with we must acknowledge that at least part of the problem may come from within

our own minds. It is not the particular event that is important, but it is how we react to it

that really matters, what is stressful to one person may be the norm or even exciting to another; 

think of a fairground ride.

But why should this be so? Obviously this has much to do with individual personality

but it goes much further than that when we begin to experience depressions or guilt feelings,

or develop obsessive behaviour, a phobic reaction or even physical illness.

In such cases, and in many others, these problems come from within us but we feel that

we have no control of the problem  – it is like a different part of us takes over.

Is it possible to change the habit of a lifetime? Is it possible to improve your health,

vitality and well being?

The answer is most definitely “yes”, and one very effective way is Hypnotherapy

 – a personal therapy using Hypnosis.

For some the word ‘hypnosis’ often conjures up images of mind control

and of people put into some sort of comatose state, actually this is total nonsense.

Hypnosis is a very natural state of relaxation and there is absolutely no question of any mind control whatsoever. In fact, after their first experience of hypnotherapy, the majority of people say things like “well, that was all very nice but I didn’t actually feel hypnotised,

I could have opened my eyes at any time”.  And so you can.

Hypnotherapists use only “Conscious awareness Hypnosis” and there is no need for any form 

of deep trance state, so that clients are usually aware of what is going on, yet are able to experience

an unparalleled feeling of relaxation and calmness. My room has just the normal surrounding noises and there is a lovely relaxing atmosphere with not a swinging watch in sight!

Most of us go through life either doing something that we don’t want to do (e.g.:  smoking,

having panic attacks, obsessively checking things) or not doing something that we want

to do (e.g.: form a loving relationship, feel self confident or be able to say “no” when we want to). Many of these behaviour patterns originate from negative attitudes picked up during childhood; 

these continue to influence us into adult life at a level that we are not consciously aware of.

Most of us just accept these effects (violent outbursts, guilt feelings, personal problems, illness etc.) 

as being normal, “that’s the way I am”, and so forth, but there is absolutely no reason

why one person should have to suffer such emotional strains when others do not.

The same applies to many illnesses. We just seem to accept that we are ill and totally rely

on our doctors for a cure – or sometimes accept the ultimate with amazing complacency,

without ever considering that we may have some control over the situation.

But it is possible to learn to be in control of your mind, your body and your emotions.

It is our perception of ourselves that is at fault. If, through hypnosis, we can change our view

of ourselves then we can bring about change and even sometimes a cure.

When a client first comes to see me I try to remember to tell them that by the end of the therapy 

they may become virtually unaware they ever had a problem in the first place

and many look at me in disbelief, yet it can be a very moving experience at a later stage

to see those same clients releasing their anxiety and for the first time in many years,

being truly free from negative emotions, and symptoms that those repressed emotions caused.

But aside from smoking and all the emotional/personal problems,

hypnosis has many other applications, one in particular being in the medical world.

For hundreds of years hypnosis has been used as an anaesthetic to “switch off pain” during operations, yet recent publicity surrounding the gentleman who used hypnosis during his vasectomy presented it as a somewhat new discovery! There is an increasing amount of evidence to suggest that 

if you mentally prepare yourself for an operation there is less shock to your body so that

you are able to speed your own recovery. The same applies in drug treatment, where self-hypnosis 

and visualisation have shown to reduce the side effects from chemotherapy, for example.

There are even countless cases where diseases such as cancer and arthritis have responded

to self-hypnosis visualisations, when used as part of the healing process.

It is not only people with problems that can benefit from hypnosis, for it can be applied to enhance existing personal qualities such as sales or sport performance, or just generally reduce stress

and aid relaxation. Whatever the situation from relieving driving test nerves or child bed-wetting, 
to getting rid of phobias – the same principals apply, whereby we are using the potential

of our imagination to communicate with our subconscious, emotional mind.

Hypnotherapy is probably the kindest, quickest and most gentle form of personal therapy available. 

It is a totally natural, totally safe method of treatment and, unlike many drugs based therapies

it has no unpleasant side effects and is suitable for just about anybody.

It has often been said that, if hypnosis could be bottled and sold off the shelf at your local chemist,

it would be hailed as the most wonderful potion this world has ever known

Magic and CHOCOLATE & Hypnotherapy

             Magic and CHOCOLATE & Hypnotherapy M'reen

You might want to think cigarettes, bed wetting, fear of dogs, etc.

For children who are very young, drawing a scary dream and then putting it in prison

(or suitable concept) can be effective.

Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces

with your bare hands--and then just eat one of the pieces. -  Judith Viorst

Someone told me that a fellow hypnotherapist suggested to his client that she put certain foods 

into a prison and that now she no longer buys those foods. Magic!

Yes, this is possible, if it is right for that client at that time.

Neither you nor I can forcibly incarcerate those foods/habits/attitude/pain etc.

The work we do together can bring about the circumstances when this can be effective 

suggestion therapy for you.

Let’s take chocolate. There is no reason as to why you should never eat chocolate again in fact 

The Montignac Method of Eating regards 70% coca fat chocolate to be a beneficial food to eat. 

You will not put on weight as there is hardly any sugar.

At one time I would eat chocolate until it was finished even if I had to have a number of cups of tea 

to help it go down. A Snickers bar was my silent banner to the world that I was upset, “Hey look world, I’m upset, see I can prove it, just look at this Snickers bar,” unfortunately the world didn’t care.

Equally unfortunately, should I be upset now I have to deal with it and let it go as I can wander up and down the supermarket aisles, chocolate, biscuits, cakes, goodies and there is nothing there 

for me, nothing appeals.

Now, if someone offers me a chocolate I can casually choose to accept one or more and move on. How did all this come about? I don’t know because I haven’t specifically worked on chocolate, 

but I have worked on ‘letting go’ and I will show you how to do this in your own home.

Two people have given themselves one session on ‘chocolate’, this is not really fair to themselves 

or to me; one session might work but if ‘chocolate’ is tied in with a larger problem then we are only going to be able to work with the ‘chocolate’ part of the problem. I would rather work with the whole jigsaw, rather than just one piece and expect the rest of the pieces to fall into place and complete the picture. When we do work on the whole jigsaw, we don’t work on each individual piece as that would take far too long, we connect big massive chunks together, actually it’s your subconscious mind that works, we just undo the blocks to success.

One person chose to work with past life therapy, she went into a past life which confused me until 

we had finished the session. She moved from that past life to an incident when she was a teenager and we worked on that memory. Later I realised that the past life or past life ‘story’ gave her the life experience that she desired and could not have in this life. After this session she found that she had more choice in whether or nor she ate sweets in general. This did not solve her weight issue as it was only one piece in her jigsaw she titled ‘Weight’. This is possibly not the correct title, as weight may be a piece for the jigsaw titled ‘self-esteem, confidence, perceived destiny, protection, role model etc.’

The other person chose to work on the emotional component in her life regarding chocolate. 

In this particular case she was using colours to represent the emotions surrounding chocolate 

and we worked together to balanced these colours/emotions. She did not eat chocolate for two weeks and then decided to test herself and found herself eating chocolate. I suggested that she had shown that she could live happily without chocolate and that she do one of two things, a) deal with the rest of her chocolate issue with myself in hypnotherapy or b) use the skills she had learned

and work on it herself. She chose the latter as she knew she had some time coming 

up to concentrate on this and other areas in her life without the current stresses.

I don’t know how she has progressed, but we both know that she has the ability to succeed.

Why didn’t ‘it’ work? It did, it worked for two weeks but something got in the way, the ‘something’ in a habit situation occasionally takes a second session as you can only get rid of as much as is good for you today. For example it may be too much for you to get rid of everything in one fell swoop, 

this may be emotionally more than you are able to cope with (this is expanded upon in other areas) or those around you may become subconsciously negative if you change too rapidly, even though they really want this for you. All this sounds rather negative, but once you’ve become the person that never did X again, there is really nothing more to say. One person did not smoke for 29 years, and then she started again, why? I think there were rather good reasons and once those reasons have gone I expect that she will stop quite naturally.

If not she has proved to herself that hypnotherapy is effective.

To recap, one lady put items in prison and she no longer buys those foods.

I was a chocoholic. I used food to deal with emotions. 

One lady always bought 3-4 chocolate bars from the vendor at the station, it was suggested that she could not see the vendor; she no longer bought chocolate on her way to work.

Chocolate can be a choice, an enjoyable choice.
