Hi lou_uk Do you know what sort of councelling you are being offered, there are many different types. You should expect, at the very minimum, for both of your views to be respected, and to feel as though you are getting somewhere. You mention that you never reach a conclusion when you are discussing...

Hi bongo_john_uk

If you are not familiar with the fast phobia / rewind technqiue, then I would recommend going to the workshop that Mindfields do. The workshop is very practical, and the technique is priceless for dealing with any kind of trauma.

This is a very common problem. I have treated two people for it. People usually have this difficulty because they are too tense, for whatever reason, to let go. Hypnosis is an ideal tool for helping with this, as it teaches relaxation, and helps condition the mind to help relax while peeing when the...

Expectation can play a part in acheiving goals using hypnosis, but it is not always essential. One of my first clients wanted to stop biting her nails. She didnt believe it would work. However, she stopped biting her nails after her first session. For some people its useful to practise using hypnosi...

Hi millicent There's no doubt about it - going out and meeting new people will boost your self estem and confidence. The drama group sounds like it could be good fun :) I wouldnt rule the physical stuff completely though. I have a friend who is in her mid forties and is four foot something, and she ...

Hindsight would be such a useful thing to have wouldn't it!

Have you ever thought about taking self defence lessons? These are good for building confidence as well as teaching how to defend yourself...

Any other skills that you think would be useful?

I understand that it can sometimes help to understand why something in the past has happened, so that we can learn from the experience. However, it is usually better done after the depression has lifted. This is because when people get depressed, they can be very emotion.... and this can cloud the j...

Hi Most of the people that come to me for hypnotherapy that are nervous of the hypnosis are generally nervous because they dont know what it is. They often have preconceptions of being put to sleep, and having no control. The best thing to do in my opinion is educate them about what hypnosis actuall...

Hi millicent Sorry to hear of your living hell. Unfortunately, there are so many counsellers out there who dont understand what it takes to lift depression...
