-Divorce
-Financial crisis
-Employment problems/conflicts at work
-Mental illness
-Poverty (as an adult or child)
-Discrimination
-Political persecution
-Immigrating to a new country
-Miscarriage/abortion
-Experienced a natural disaster (flood, earthquake, etc...)
-Crime victim
-Gambling addiction (or loss of money through gambling)

Well, to be honest, this seems to me to be a pattern interrupt, i.e.,
it works by rapidly disorientating/distracting the mind in relation
to a negative habit of thinking. There are many similar methods used
in hypnosis and NLP. I expect that any similar sequence of
distracting activities, if repeated quickly and dramatically, would
have exactly the same effect.

For my own self-help I sometimes used to visualise something that
pissed me off, quickly take a deep breath and then blow very
forcefully at the image as if blowing away the negative feelings,
quickly closing my eyes and fading my mind to black when I had
finished exhaling. Seemed to work about as well for me as EFT, TFT,
EMDR, fast phobia cure, etc., etc., etc. A client recently told me
that they just imagine a big whirlpool spinning through their head
and scrambling the negative thoughts.

Best,

Don

Thanks Don much appreciated.
Blessings,
Karen

Try it and see....

This technique is for a specific thought that goes through your mind
and makes you feel bad. This thought might be in the form of an
image, or of a sentence.
Start by putting your right hand, palm vertical (like a karate chop)
on your right knee. (For a few left-handed people, the left side
might be better.) Take a deep breath, think the thought you want to
neutralize, and blow hard down at your knee (literally imagine your
hand is a trap door and you are blowing that thought down into the
trap). Immediately, slap your hand on you knee (``Slam the door shut
over those bad feelings''); move your eyes upward notably above eye
level, still to the right, take another deep breath; move your eyes
to the left (still above eye level); and blow out the deep breath.
The steps have to be in sequence, not simultaneous, and they have to
follow each other very very quickly, so that the mind is jerked from
one step to the next. (It's probably almost essential to have someone
else lead you through the process the first few times to force you
immediately on to the next step). Repeat the process until the
thought in question no longer triggers the usual bad feelings

Thought someone may want to test it, I have a difficult time
thinking about anything that makes me feel bad. So I haven't done
this. Feedback would be nice.

Dear Michael

Thank you. Is it the case that hypnotherapists are necessarily
considered as `health professionals' under the terms of

http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1998/80029--j.htm#69

As my records are kept for the sole purpose of being able to
practice professionally, and are never made available to anyone
else, I wonder if I am not exempt on the grounds that they are
simply "accounts and records".

Subject: BACP meeting on hypnotherapy and NLP
donjohnr
Offline Offline
Send Email Send Email
 
Hi everyone,

Well, Martin Weaver (Chair of NLPtCA) and I met Sally Aldridge (Head of
Professional Standards) and Laurie Clarke (Chief Exec.) of BACP today.

We had a brief (30 min.) meeting about the BACPs policy of not accepting
NLP, hypnotherapy (and various other interventions) as valid components of
psychotherapy training for accreditation purposes.

A number of points were raised but the main things that I took from our
meeting were that Laurie was open to at least discussing and re-assessing  the
status of hypnotherapy.  I enjoyed the meeting and felt that some  progress was
achieved, and that Laurie was making a sincere attempt to listen to  our points
and consider their potential merit.

1.  Crucially, Laurie openly accepted that the "CAM argument" is  not valid.
The BACP had argued that hypnotherapy was classed as a branch  of CAM by the
House of Lords and that this meant that it could not be a  technique of
psychotherapy.  I pointed out that "counselling" itself was  included in the
same
category as "hypnotherapy" by the House of Lords.   This was the only rationale
so far offered by BACP for their position on  hypnotherapy accreditation.

2. Laurie suggested that it might be possible -pending further discussion-
for BACP to form a working party to consider the issue in more detail.
Although this will presumably take some time I think it is the most that we 
could
expect and showed that he felt the issue deserved to be explored in more
depth.  I said that I would like to be included in the working party if it
happens; this may be a possibility, again pending further discussion.

Most of the time was spent discussing hypnotherapy but I think Martin also
managed to make some progress on the issue of NLP.  As I understand it,  BACP
emphasised that they felt the issues of NLP and hypnotherapy were very
different and that NLP-Psychotherapy training was viewed as being potentially
slightly closer to meeting their criteria for accreditation than
hypnopsychotherapy.  I said that some NLP is indistinguishable from  Ericksonian
hypnotherapy.

Hopefully we will hear back from BACP soon about the idea of the working
party.  If it goes ahead, and if I am allowed to contribute, I am confident 
that
I can present a very strong case in favour of reviewing the policy on
hypnotherapy.  Time will tell.  However, after today's meeting I feel  things
are
finally -after about a year of campaigning!- moving forward and  looking more
positive.

My very best  regards,

Subject: Fw: Sleep Apnea

Hello Everyone,

I was asked a question regarding whether hypnosis might help with sleep apnea
and I didn't quite know the answer so I thought that I'd turn to the experts.

Has anyone had success with hypnosis in reducing the impacts of sleep apnea or
does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on the matter??

My tendency is to think that sleep apnea is more a physical problem than
anything and I'm not sure how much difference hypnosis can make.  However,
having said that, I think in a lot of cases the apnea is related to weight and
can be reduced or helped by weight loss.

Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks,
Dorothy

Hi Geoffrey,

We have been running one-day Self-Hypnosis Certificate (SHC)
workshops in Kensington, London every month or so for about 3-4
years.  The workshops are externally validated by the General
Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).  You can read many
testimonials from our previous students and other professionals on
our website.  We're currently running a special offer whereby
bookings received this month are eligible for a free hypnotherapy CD
(RRP £10.99).

We also run very special one-week, intensive Hypnotherapy
Practitioner Certificate (HPC) courses in London.  These are also
externally accredited by the GHSC.  We have recently been registered
as Learning Providers with the Government Dept. of Skills and
Education and can now accept Career Development Loans (CDL) as part
of our "buy now pay later" offer.

Full details of our hypnosis courses are on the website below:

OPEN LETTER TO SARAH BROWNE, EDITOR OF CPJ (JOURNAL OF BACP)

Dear Sarah,  I would like to submit the following letter for  publication in
the CPJ:

RE: Response from BACP
With regard to the 'Response from BACP' published in April's edition of the
CPJ in reply to Peter Luce's 'Hypnotherapy and Accreditation.'  First, I
would like to express my deep disappointment that CPJ allocated such  a minute
amount of space to such an important issue.  I am also deeply  disappointed that
the CPJ has chosen not to publish the other letters which  they received on
this issue written by myself and a number  of other professionals who were
alarmed by BACP's actions.

Can BACP explain how their Professional Standards Committee can  possibly be
qualified to declassify hypnotherapy, NLP, and other similar  therapies as
legitimate techniques of psychotherapy?  As I understand it,  after extensive
correspondence on the matter, none of the people involved  in making this
decision are qualified in these disciplines and no suitably  qualified experts
were
consulted.  By comparison, how would, e.g.,  psychodynamic counsellors feel if
a small group of purely CBT and Rogerian  therapists at BACP had decided,
behind closed  doors, that psychodynamic technqiues and methods could in no way
be
  considered as part of the legitimate training of a counsellor or
psychotherapist  and had done so without any consultation with BACP members or
any
experts on  psychodynamic methods?  I imagine they would be incensed and
probably
kick  up quite a fuss.

If BACP's intention is to redefine the meaning of "psychotherapy" then I
strongly believe the process should be informed, open, and  democratic. 
Frankly,
however, this decision has been deliberately  kept quiet by BACP and was made
by a handful of individuals ignorant of the  subject and its relation to
other models of psychotherapy and counselling.

With regard to BACP's reference to the House of Lords report on CAM.   This
issue has been raised several times by BACP and myself and others have
repeatedly pointed out the basic contradiction in BACP's position.  The  House
of
Lords did not say that just because something is classed as CAM it  cannot also
be a psychotherapy or form of counselling.  Indeed,  "counselling" itself is
classified in exactly the same CAM category as  "hypnotherapy" by the report.
Does BACP therefore maintain that  counselling is not a form of counselling?
Presumably not.

BACP's appeal to the House of Lords report in this context is merely a late
attempt to contrive excuses for a decision which was made long ago and on  the
basis of nothing more than professional prejudice and discrimination.   I say
that with conviction because after a year of campaigning on this issue,  BACP
have yet to provide any rationale whatsoever for their decision other than
this one, which has been repeatedly shown to be flawed.

Finally, BACP have clearly stated in our correspondence on the matter  that
time spent learning or using "relaxation techniques" and hypnotherapy -as  well
as many other techniques- must be deducted from evidence submitted for
portfolio accreditation.  Can BACP explain exactly how this applies to CBT
counsellors and pscyhotherapists, as well as to the many integrative therapists 
who
use relaxation techniques as part of their initial training and in their
ongoing practice?  Will they be required to resubmit their training details 
with
the hours spent on relaxation techniques, etc., "deducted" as
hypno-psychotherapists and NLP psychotherapists have been required to do?  
Clearly, this has
not happened.

To be blunt, the many contradictions in their position show that the people
making these decisions at BACP will do just about anything and make any
excuses  to try to keep hypno-psychotherapy and NLP psychotherapy out of their
organisation, even when these modalities are used by highly trained, qualified,
and respected practitioners.

BACP's membership should be shocked at these developments.  However,  they
have been kept in the dark until now despite numerous attempts to raise the
matter for public debate.  I hope that this letter will, unlike the others,  be
allowed publication and that a reasonable space can now be provided for full,
open and rational discussion of such fundamental and  controversial
developments.

Do a search on google for a guy called Gil Boyne. He has some great teaching
videos that you can learn from. He is also a moderator at
www.hypno-forum.com so it might be a good idea to ask your question there as
well, as you might get a reply from the man himself!!!

Hello all,

I appreciate that this is a clinical hypnosis group and the question
maybe more related to stage hypnosis, but feedback would be most
welcome.

My interest in hypnosis is purely to further explore the nature of
what we call reality, let me explain. A stage hypnotist may hypnotise
a person to see a watch on a desk in front of him - what fascinates me
is the detail of that reality, does the watch weigh the same? can I
open the back? can I move the hands? Can I examine an object I am told
is real?

This is something I would like to research - to combine a post
hypnotic suggestion, with say a very specific action like writing the
name of the object down on a piece of bright blue paper (so I didn't
accidentally trigger such a suggestion inadvertantly) so if I wrote
"black biro pen" I would see the same and be able to test the nature
of the illusion.

Is this feasible? has it been done? Could self hypnosis achieve such a
state?

Thanks in advance for anything constructive.

Richard

Hi, I joined this group yesterday. My name is Alan Roy, I currently
work in a factory, and thus am not a professional therapist. I had
taken a correspondence in hypnotherapy, undergone therapy with 3
hypnotherapists, read many relevant books, and practised self-hypnosis
many, many times - but could not get the hang of it until I attended
one of Don's workshops, and worked with his cd induction. I have much
confidence in his teaching abilities, and hence have booked a place on
his next hypnotherapy course - hence I have an interest in some of the
discussions in this group.
Sincerely, Alan Roy.

Well, for a start there seem to be several goals here.  The first
step in self-hypnosis would be to prioritise, and pick one goal at a
time to focus upon.

>> i am writing below my auto suggestions and visualization techs.
everday after waking up and just before sleeping i perform self
hypnosis. i perform the following steps-

Fair enough, that sounds like a good programme, the techniques sound
like traditional techniques of self-hypnosis.

>> 2) after relaxing i give suggestion to my self. my suggestion are-
everyday in every way i am becoming the man i truly want to become
more and more easily and more and more effortlesly.
success,wealth,love,truefriendship are coming into my life in
abundance.life and luck are working for me. i am sincerely wishing
love, respect, peace, success, health, wealth, happines, pious
thoughts and all the blesings of life to each and every human being
paticularly to all my enemies, to each and every living being and to
the entire universe. may all achieve peace and divinity.

A good start, though there are some areas where the wording could be
improved.  Is it, e.g., a positive suggestion to label people in your
life as "enemies"?  Another point would be that these are very
generic and abstract suggestions and may or may not work well for you
depending upon how clear your conception of what they mean is.  Ask
yourself whether you can clearly envisage yourself being happy and
successful, etc., and all the detailed implications that these
changes would have.

Final point.  Some of these suggestions refer to things outside your
direct sphere of control.  The suggestion that things are "coming
into your life" from outside, is not something that your unconscious
directly controls (unless you adopt an occult rather than a
psychological model).

For example, I can suggest that I love other people as that is
something that I myself do, it comes from within me, but to suggest
that other people will love me back is a weaker suggestion as my
unconscious may not know how to make that happen.

>> 3) i repeat these suggestion for 5-7 times and then i go for
visualization which is completed in two steps.

That's OK, though it's not very many repititions.  Coue, e.g.,
suggests 50 times.  It depends upon time; I would suggest spending
about 15-20 minutes on suggestion.

>>     a) first i visualize that i get my dream job in my dream
company. i visualize that i easily answers all the questions asked to
me and i easily get the job.

Fair enough.

>     b) secondly i visualize my self in a party where people are
respecting me and all  the people are irresistibly attracted towards
me. i am sorrounded by true friends and all are praising me. i
visualize that i have become the man i truly wanted to be.

Good, this will help to define the suggestions you have scripted.  So
it answers the question I raised above.  However, it does seems like
you may be working on too many things at once.

>> 4) after visualization i repeat he following words -- SUCCESS-
WEALTH many times and then i come out of the trance.

Good, that's called "symbol suggestion", don't know where you learned
to do that, but it is a good, traditional self-hypnosis method that
has worked for many people.

>> The main problem is that i dont know whether this will work out or
not.

Sounds like it should work.  The more vague or complex your goals are
the longer it will probably take.  Prioritising and simplifying goals
will probably speed things up a lot.

>> please provide me some advice like should i add or delete anything
to or from my suggesstions. whether my visualization is correct or
not. i am bit skeptical of visualizing two things together.

Well spotted.  You are the one who should be reviewing the wording
for yourself.  You should find that the phrases "evolve" as you
contemplate them each day, until you are completely satisfied with
the wording; that is part of the natural process of autosuggestion.
The same applies to your goal imagery.  Be patient, work on things,
and you will gradually evolve a more and more powerful and complete
mental image of your goal.

Who would question whether a man with a powerful, vivid, and detailed
image of his goal would be at a great advantage over someone who
lacks a clear concept of their goal?

Good luck,

Don

So you are hypnotised but your conscious mind is very active. I always
understood the state of hypnosis to be sub-consciously led and that when you
are hypnotised, you are because a hypnotist is taking over from your
conscious and speaking directly to your sub-conscious. I believe that what
you are doing is self suggestion, and yes repeating conscious words over and
over will eventually get to your psyche.

Try finding Coue's "Self-Mastery Through Conscious Auto-suggestion"
