Yes, it certainly can make a difference, but as with most things, it depends on the circumstances. If, for instance, you say to me "I've been divorced" and I say "I have too", there's immediate rapport. We meet at some point even if some parts of our experiences were different. I...

Crying is an emotional response. It could be from stress, grief, inner pain, exhaustion, illness, fear, loneliness, menopause, even drug reaction and so on. You may need some help to sort this out if you truly do not understand the cause. Talk to your doctor for a start so you can eliminate any medi...

Hi, Help!!! One of my hypnotherapy clients is having problems with extreme discomfort in her legs during sessions to the point she is unable to sit still. This has now happened 3 or 4 times but didn't the first few times I saw her. She drives a delivery truck all day and comes after work, but, also,...

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks, I didn't think anyone would remember me. It's good to be back, too!

Hi Dan, I agree, reading the article on Depression at this site is really good. I actually send my clients there! You need to gain a good knowledge of what it is and how it affects us. Knowledge is Power - once we get that understanding, then we can be the one in charge. And I highly recommend Hypno...

a few notes... hypnosis can be very effective with children so I've heard...check out Karen Olness and Ted Benton - both MDs who have done a lot of work with children. Ted has an article on his site called"The Hypnotic Hero" that has really good tips for working with children. another idea is that w...

Hi, Sorry to be laughing but here in Canada if someone called me "a weedy little sod' I would fall off my chair laughing - aren't cultural differences great! But I did get the point - and I think the first thing I would say, as others have, is you don't have to take it. And I don't think it is appro...

Hi all, Haven't been here for a while and its great to see all the super topics. I use progressive or longer inductions almost all the time. I shorten them or use shorter inductions after a client has been coming for a while. To me, if I used a quick induction right at the beginning, I would be demo...

Hi,
How are you thinking of using movies in hypnotherapy?

Could someone please clarify this for me?

Thanks,

Hi, I've only ever done it once. I actually wrote a script, and recorded it, for someone to improve their golf game. Now I am not a golf player so I studied up on the game, talked to this fellow's wife about where he felt he needed to improve, and made it up from there! I advised him to start listen...

Yes, I'll certainly keep you up to date.

Gotta run right now, really busy Sat including an out-of-the-blue client who's bringing her son in for academic improvement, another first for me!

Love to you all,
Thanks for the support,

Hi Roger, Sorry to take so long to reply. Have been busy and still fighting the flu. Talked to client about pain in general, causes, etc; about TN (article that said hynosis helps); about various ways to look at the situation. He did not feel there was an emotional basis to it, just felt what his do...

Hi, I have a client coming tomorrow (your today) with multiple issues. Weight, smoking and pain. The pain I think will be the no. 1 issue to deal with. It is a chronic problem called TN - Trigeminal Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux. It comes from a nerve in the face. My research shows that this is "unive...

Hi, Jill,

One of the symptoms of FM is not sleeping. There are many symptoms. It might be hard to say which comes first!

I'll be interested in what you find out.

Thanks for the suggestions to all of you. I agree, Jenny, I think its a big step for a body that has not relaxed, to relax without some reaction. When you endure chronic pain, it's hard to let go and still feel safe. Chronic pain and chronic illness do a number on your mind. My client is not having ...
