Making The Transition From A Part time
Practice To A Full Time Practice


Making the adjustment from part time to giving
up whatever other job or career that has been
supporting you and becoming a full time therapist
is probably one of the biggest and most difficult
steps that a person takes. A solid, step-by-step
plan helps make that transition easier and more
comfortable. Even though each person's needs will
vary depending on many issues, exploring various
options will allow you to begin to move closer
to full time in your profession.

** Nov 15 & 16 (Sat & Sun) 9:30-4:30 $150


INTRODUCTION
Have you ever wondered why the first three
letters of the word diet are D I E? Have you
ever considered about the reasons that the
weight loss industry in America is a multi-
billion dollar business? My theory is that it
is because of the extra-ordinarily high repeat
rate, which is a result of repeated failures by
overweight individuals looking for the
unethically advertised "quick fix".

This manual provides a balance of nutritional,
metabolic, physical, emotional and motivation
information. This comprehensive approach
enhances your clients rate and level of success
when they are interested in losing weight.

REGRESSION: IS IT FOR REAL?
Applications in Hypnotherapy/ Psychotherapy

Recently a woman entered of the office of a hypnotherapist
to discuss a development which she did not understand. She
had always, as far as she remembered, been affected with
sadness when a visitor left her home, but in resent years the
feelings had increased. Not only had the emotional disturbance
become greater, it also now resulted in tears and severe crying
spells which approached the levels of hysteria.

This was increasingly embarrassing, for the emotional upsets
came when anyone when out the door. It was not limited to loved
family members and fears for their safety. It occurred regardless
of who departed - the plumber, carpenter, even the pest control
servicemen. She felt the situation demanded attention and a
friend had suggested hypnosis.

While in traditional psychoanalysis the case might have required
many months or even years of therapy, the hypnotherapist felt
that three sessions could prove adequate. The first session would
involve information gathering in the fully conscious state,
familiarization of the client with the nature of hypnosis and
certain tests of hypnotizability to provide the practitioner with
information important in determining methods and procedures
appropriate to the client*s personality and belief systems.

A Case For Regression

The second session was planned to utilize techniques of hypnotic
regression, the purpose being to seek out the cause or event
involved in the initial development of the problem. The therapist
felt that something, probably early in life, had occurred which
created a psychological imprint which subsequently had been
forgotten or had been unrecognized for the effect it could produce.
It might have involved parents, teachers, relatives, siblings.
Regression could pull back the covers of the past to reveal the
causal factors.

The regression proceeded normally. Since the hypnotherapist had
no knowledge of either the age or circumstances involved, the
client was simply instructed to go back in time to the year and
place where the problem originated. Programmed to view the event
as if it were a television show and to be able to speak about it,
the client was asked what was going on.

She explained that she was sitting on the stairs in her home,
halfway down the staircase, looking down into the living room.
She was three years old. Her father had died and was lying in the
living room. She was called down and instructed to kiss her father
goodbye, which she did without reaction.

Well-meaning family members then sought to avoid a situation where,
not understanding death, the child would not be constantly expecting
her father to return. They explained to her that when her father
was taken out through *that door*, he would be gone forever and
would never return. That, she was told, is what death is. You go
out a door and never return.

Bingo! The explanation and the concept of doors was locked
subconsciously into the three-year old mind. There was no
understanding, simply and authoritative statement that going out
a door led to something terrible. Parents, teachers and others
often have no idea that an explanation understandable and well-
intended to adults can prove devastating to a child mind.

No Third Session
Having uncovered the casual factor and surrounding circumstances,
the hypnotherapist felt it would be fairly simple, through hypnosis,
to guide the client into releasing the past to the past where it
would have no further effect on the present or the future. However,
as is not infrequently the case, it was not necessary. Simple
understanding of the cause * emerging from hypnosis with heretofore
buried knowledge * was in itself sufficient to resolve the problem.
From that moment of understanding the problem vanished instantly.
In three years it has not returned. The third session was never
needed.

Age regression has proved invaluable in hypnotherapy. Its use in
psychotherapy, following the work of the late internationally
recognized psychiatrist, Milton Erikson, has been expanding steadily.

Regression, as in the case cited, had proved a superb vehicle for
rooting out causes. In many cases of stress or anxiety, the causing
factors are unknown to the conscious mind. But the unconscious,
vastly larger and more powerful, is the seat of all memory

and can bring forth from memory information and events related or
pertinent to the problems at hand.

Fears and phobia often have hidden, repressed or suppressed causes
which can be ferreted out through hypnotic age regression. Perhaps
the most important factor in successful regression is the rapport
between client and therapist. Hypnotic trips into the past can
encounter very sensitive and personal revelations, and solid trust
and comfort between the participants is essential to the achievement
of goals.

Considerable attention has been given in recent years to the
phenomenon
of *past life regression*. Unfortunately a number of individuals,
untrained in hypnotherapy, psychology, psychiatry or related fields,
present group programs in what they term *past life therapy*. But
the trained professional can resolve many problems using this type of
therapeutic procedure.

Such professionals usually do not claim that experience recalled in
such regression is necessarily valid, noting that such regression
could call up past fantasies, imaginings or dreams. The consensus
seems to be, however, that whether the recalled experience is real
or imagined is really not significant * if it solves the problem,
which is often the case.

Regression, of any type, presents no particular risks in the hands
of a competent and trained professional. It can offer major
advantages in revealing the sources of problems, even in cases of
habit control * smoking, overeating etc. It is usually
contraindicated
in cases of major medical disorders.
