Hypnosurgery Live
Mon 10 April 2006 9pm-11pm.
Investigating the  use of hypnosis to reduce or even replace the use of
anaesthetic in surgery.
You can watch the programme online from Tues 11 April.
Presented by Sarah Smith, this two hour special asks whether hypnosis should
be more widely available to people unsuited to, too weak for, or afraid of
conventional anaesthetics. The programme will include discussion and debate as
well as live and archive examples of the efficacy of hypnosis in a surgical
context, culminating in a live hernia operation being performed under hypnosis
  with no anaesthetic at all.
Hypnosurgery Live aims to stimulate public and professional  debate about the
potential benefits of this use of hypnosis.
Should the technique be more widely available in the NHS? Could it
potentially save lives, offer wider patient choice and speed the recovery 
process?

Thanks to  Steve Scurfield for pointing this out to me.

Hi

Firstly, it has been shown in many studies that there is some benefit to
self-hyposis recordings, it is up to the person listening to make use of the
tape, not up to the hypnotherapist to GET the person under.  Hypnosis is a
collaborative process.

Secondly, yes there are many hypnotherapists who work in the 'old fasioned'
way.  You might ask the hypnotherapist you book with.

You might also reflect on whether you go to a hypnotherpist expecting to
'lie back and think of England' while the hypnotherapist does some mental
operation to you.  What are your expectations of trance?

In addition, someone just might be hoping to save you money on having loads
of sessions by offering you a self-hypnosis recording to listen to at home.
Homework is part of the deal.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Subject: Old fashioned Hypnotheropy methods still used?

Hi I guess i just had a question about modern day Hypnotheropy.

Someone told me that they dont use the old method of hypnotheropy
anymore (putting someone under) like when you'd kind of be in a trance
and the hypnotherapyst is talking to your sub concious mind I heard
that now it has more to do with listening to a tape once a day?!?! I
have problems and I once went to see a Hypnotherapyst who used that
method (I was given a tape to take home to listen to everyday whilst
relaxing) and it did absolutley nothing for me. It seems the old
fashioned method seems more effective but as I said I was told it isnt
used anymore because of legal reasons or something or another I think
because of something about how there was cases when women were
sexually assaulted when they were under so it changed what is allowed
in terms of hypnotheropy as in the old method of tapping into ones
self concious isnt done or maybe isnt allowed. I just wondered if this
was true or if they still use the old method or if all hypnotherapysts
use this listening to a casette tape crap. thx.

Are you serious?

Hypnotists run the gamut from those that use "old-fashioned" methods,
to those that use newer NLP-type hypnosis, to those that simply teach you
self-hypnosis, and a whole variety in between...

And, of course, those that use a combination.

Many hypnotists will also give you a tape.

But a hypnotist that only gives you tapes? Heck, you can buy them
cheap on the Internet, or get a book and learn to do it yourself.

If you don't like using tapes, go to a hypnotist who will hypnotise you!

Paddy

Dear Pam,
Charges depend on so many factors, where you live, in England anyway the
North/South divide means that people have vastly varying resources, also from
countryside/town/city and then how much you choose to value your services...it
does seem to vary widely. You may even choose to charge differently for say
smoking cessation compared to other issues.
I live in the coutry now and only charge £45 per session which is hardly more
than I charged in Lindon 7 years ago and it is appropriate for here.
By the way, you might want to reconsider your email address, I nearlt deleted it
as spam...
very best wishes for your new start,
Linda.

'Mind control' over muscle power

_BBC NEWS | Health |  'Mind control' over muscle power_
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4861268.stm)
Thinking about the way your muscles work could physically boost  your
strength, research suggests.
A Hull University team asked 30 subjects to do biceps curls and found their
muscles worked more when they focused on what the muscles were doing.
But lower rates of muscle activity were recorded when they simply visualised
themselves lifting the weight.
The study is being presented at the British Psychological Society conference
in Cardiff on Friday.

Hello Joanna:

One of the hypnosis schools I attended was indeed Jerry Kein's Omni Hypnosis
Training Center in Deland, Florida. He teaches Regression to Cause,
Forgiveness, How To Be a Working Clinical Hypnotist, and etc., in his Basic &
Advanced
Course. It's extremely practical teaching. Of course there's some spiritual
work included, but his main emphasis is on teaching you how to get quick results
for your clients using the methods he learned directly from Dave Elman. If
you're not certain if he's the right teacher for you, perhaps you might consider
going to the Banyan Hypnosis Mall and buying one or another of Kein's DVDs to
see if you like his style. He has a DVD on Pain Management, if memory serves.

I also studied Ericksonian hypnosis at Phoenix Development here in Florida so
I could have the best of both worlds. And I would strongly urge newbies to
study both "camps" of hypnotherapy. There is no right or wrong way to get
results for clients. The trick is to have enough tools in one's toolkit to be
able
to help every individual that you can. No two clients are alike.

Just one opinion,

Emotion sensor 'detects boredom'

_BBC NEWS | Health | Emotion  sensor 'detects boredom'_
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4856050.stm)

Scientists are developing an "emotion sensor" to show if  someone is finding
your conversation interesting or not.
It is being developed to help people with autism, who tend to be less skilled
  at interacting with others.
New Scientist magazine reports researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) have developed the headset.
A camera on a pair of glasses is linked to a hand-held computer which "reads"
  the emotional reactions of a listener.

Try finding out from the Nation Libraries of the countries where his
books are published. As you will know as a fellow author, these guys
keep a card for each published author with most personal info available
to the public.

If not then the Erickson Foundation in the states may know.

Hi to all,

Could anyone offer me an accurate birthdate year for Ernest Rossi?
After multiple internet searches, I can't find this badly needed info.

I'm finishing a hypnotherapy book due for publication in July 2006 and
have a chapter on influential hypnotherapists. I have given the
birthdates of all other names, so it would be good form to include
Rossi's.

Thanks for the reference if anyone can provide the year of birth for
Rossi.

Hi to all,

Could anyone offer me an accurate birthdate year for Ernest Rossi?
After multiple internet searches, I can't find this badly needed info.

I'm finishing a hypnotherapy book due for publication in July 2006 and
have a chapter on influential hypnotherapists. I have given the
birthdates of all other names, so it would be good form to include
Rossi's.

Thanks for the reference if anyone can provide the year of birth for
Rossi.

I am writing for any information about bookstores in London that would host book
signings or signings plus host a seminar for  hypnotherapy books and for
spiritual/metaphysical books.

I am coming to London to speak at the APHP conference Oct 28/29. I would like to
know of London bookstore(s) most likely to have clientele interested in
hypnotherapy for my book, Finding True Magic: Transpersonal Hypnosis and
Hypnotherapy/NLP©.

My wife will be accompanying me and would like to do a signing/seminar for her
extraordinary new book, Sacred Visitations: Gifts of Grace that Transform the
Heart and Awaken the Soul (by Ceci Miller) which recounts amazing experiences
she has had and how she integrated them into her life.

Sacred Visitations also provides a guide to readers to expand their capacity to
contact greater aspects of Being and it explains how to contemplate and
integrate such experiences. I think Ceci was blessed with this multitude of
experiences because she honored them, and because she has exquisite writing
skills that enable her to share these gifts with us all. Ceci has co-authored
books with best-selling authors and has edited the books of best-selling
authors. Sacred Visitations has glowing endorsements from best-selling authors
John Bradshaw, John Gray, Marci Shimoff, and more. (For more information see
www.SacredVisitations.com)

Thank you for your help!

Peace,

I would like to thank all those who took the trouble to contact me
regarding my request for information regarding the treatment of
cancer. You are all so very kind and the information was such that I
was able to present the three consultant oncologists who interviewed
me with sufficient details, etc for them to agree to a trial period
of three months using one of their clinics in our local hospital.

My special thanks are sent to Carl Banyan for leading me towards
Revd Scott Giles; Patricia for recommending me to Steven Parkhill's
book `Answer Cancer'; to Bernie Howell, CEO Atwood Institute for
Research and Education for the great advice to research, research
and research; to Greg who gave me some of the many areas in which he
works with these patients; to Calhypnoman (R. Garcia) who made the
important point that sometimes cancer patients may not be able to
keep their appointment due to after effects of their treatment, and
finally to all the others who offered support and ideas through this
forum group. A huge thank you. You are to be congratulated in your
unselfish assistance.

My warmest regards to you all.

Michael Noel.

Sick building link to job stress

So-called sick building syndrome may have been misnamed as its  symptoms are
linked more closely to job stress than unhealthy environments, a  study says.
Researchers asked 4,000 civil servants from 44 buildings in London about
their environment and job pressures and about symptoms such as coughs and
tiredness.
They found dry air and hot offices increased symptoms slightly but the most
important factor was stress.

Ian:

         I agree with the response you received stating not to lie to your
client about having been a smoker if you weren't.

         DUH.

         As to smoking cessation;

         YOU CAN'T - NOT - DO SOMETHING.

         And it's not about smoking.

         Imagine NOT driving a car.

         What is happening?

         You ARE DOING

         SOMETHING ELSE.


         Smokers like smoking.

         They come to us because of some level of fear of the
consequences,

         or they are tired of the smell,

         or paying money to the tobacco industry,

         or being treated poorly by the Born-Again-Non-Smokers

         (who, if they were really past the smoking, wouldn't be so
rabid!)

         or any of an endless list of reasons, ...


         BUTT

         not because they WANT to stop smoking.

         They like smoking.



         Ask them to recite the warning label, from memory (without
looking at it) on a pack of cigarettes.

         They can't.

         They see that label 20 - 40 times or more a day and they can't.

         The fear thing hasn't worked so far.

         See your life as a miserable dense dark tunnel of coughing,
hacking, horror ...

         B.S.

         Fear won't work, unless they are quitting so the doctor will
agree to operate to remove the lung cancer they already have. (I had that
client, the doctor refused to operate until they stopped smoking for at
least thirty days ... )

         Point that out to them: "I'm not going to try to scare you ...
professionals have been trying for years and you're not falling for that
one!"

         Then, as suggested (I deleted the message and forgot who wrote
it) ask them what time in the middle of the night they get up FOR THE
PURPOSE of having a smoke (they might try to tell you they get up to go
to the bathroom, they don't sleep well, etc.)

         So, they don't get up and they don't want to quit.

         WHAT DO THEY WANT?

         Do they NOT WANT cancer?

         Do you have cancer now?

         How will you know when you still don't have it?

         Do they NOT WANT to die?

         If you stop smoking today will you live forever?

         Well, what DO YOU WANT?

         Do you want improved health?

         What will that do for you?

         Will you be able to go for walks, or play with your children and
grandchildren?

         Will you be able to travel and enjoy tasting food in new ways
again?

         Will you be reminded of the fact that you are really an amazing
and powerful person,

         Able to make a decision and follow through with it.

         JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH SMOKING.

         You began smoking for whatever reason; to be cool or to look
older or whatever.

         And EVEN THOUGH there were risks, you followed through with it
for years.

         Now you have chosen to be healthier and stronger and to set a
good example for your children and grandchildren and to feel GREAT about
being in control of your life.

         Each and every time that in the past, you would have acted in
THAT WAY (I seldom say 'smoking' )

         you now FEEL GREAT as you continue doing the interesting things
that you do,

         and even the things that are just the normal things,

         you find yourself breathing deeply and even catch yourself
smiling for no reason from time to time.

         Now and in the future you recall how easy it is to change your
mind and do the things that are important to you.

         Another thing I talk about is something they used to do and liked
(maybe riding a bike, etc.) but no longer do.

         They know, if they wanted to, they could do that thing again, but
they have little or no interest anymore.

         And they can put that behavior that they have decided to leave
behind today, in that same place,

         with all the other things they are no longer interested in.

         When the client recognizes what they WANT rather than what they
don't want

         and that desired result has energy and power, the rest simply
falls away.

         As to "cravings" What cravings? Show them self-hypnosis that
works in seconds with their eyes open and ask them how long it takes to
change their mind and remember what they really want.



In peace,

Hi Ian,

Not all clients will experience cravings, so that suggestion might be
unecessarily negative.

>> tell them to go to the shop after session to get some multi
vitamins of course you have to be convincing with this.

I think you mean that this is a deception-based placebo, is that
right?  I don't believe in using deception with clients.  I think the
facts about smoking are enough to make most people quit when
presented in the right way and combined with hypnotherapy.

>>  7.  get them to use imagination take them to the hospital and
show them a person dieing from smoking its not them but it could be
them! Use the personal info to really bring this home, so it really
hits them and what they will lose etc.

I'm not overly keen on this technique either.  For some clients it
might be distressing in a counter-productive manner.  Having actually
watched my father dying from smoking-related cancer, at home over the
space of a year, I know that there's not usually much to see except
someone becoming very frail and eventually passing away.  Personally,
I prefer a more detailed and varied use of imagery and tend to
incorporate a lot more personal content.

Overall, broadly speaking, it sounds like a reasonable approach to
smoking cessation, though.  Certainly prefer this to some of the
scipted approaches I've read.

Best,

Don

Dear Guy

M E makes sufferers depressed, and a feeling like they can't change things.
Good ego-strengthening suggestions are helpful, even if the condition is
organic.   If the condition is organic, then deep relaxation levels in
hypnosis help anyway, as does helping people get over burn out.

Burn out is possibly connected with non-acceptance of some reality situation
a client is not getting on with.  The best solution to apply is anything
which encourages deep relaxation, the ego-strengthening concepts give hope
that there is life after the illness is done.

In my opinion, M E is linked to what Freud's hysteria.  What is hysteria if
not a form of negative self-hypnosis?  This may be a topic for discussion in
itself.

Ian, please don't lie to your clients . . . ever.  It will come back to
haunt you.  Your protocol is different than most and very similar to most.
The idea of placebo is not one I would use.  Tell them the truth.  They can
activate their inner resources to quit mentally as smoking is a habit.
Period.  The cravings are psychological, so give them something else to do
and reinforce it with hypnosis.  Smoking serves a useful purpose.  Find out
what the client is getting out of their smoking (most won't really know
right away) then show them how to get, relaxation, distraction,
companionship etc. without the smoking behavior.  I convince my clients
right in the beginning they are dealing with a habit.   I ask if they have
ever heard of anyone getting addicted to the patch.  I ask if anyone has
gotten addicted to the gum (some say yes and I tell them that it is the
chewing that becomes a habit.)  One of the best convincers about the lack of
physical addiction is to ask how many times they get up in the night to "get
their fix."  When they say they don't, then I suggest they are only addicted
during the daytime ? ? ? Doesn't make sense.  What also doesn't make sense
is to give someone the substance they are addicted to, to get them off the
substance.  Try that with alcohol, heroin or any other truly addictive
substance.  It doesn't work.  To get any ill effects, physically, from
smoking, a person would have to smoke 3+ packs a day and then the withdrawal
symptoms are really minor and easily treated with hypnosis.  Number one,
maintain your credibility.  Don't be untruthful, intentionally with your
clients.

The best to you Ian and please do good work.

Smoking therapy.

Hi everyone,I wondered if anyone has some pointers for smoking
cessation  to add to my tool box any particular methods that you find
work well. This is a rough outline on the one I was taught.

1.Make sure the person 100% wants to stop for themselves for the right
reasons
2. Explain about hypnosis and whats going to happen during session.
3.pre-talk. Cut down all the misconceptions about smoking ie for
relaxation stress.
  Use a placebo, I simply explain that the client will expect some
cravings afterwards but they wont be anything like the ones you would
get if you tried on their own! Tell then it's when the tobacco to in
the field it takes on lots of sun and in turn it makes lots of
vitamins b,c,e and that its that lack of vitamins in the blood that
causes most of the cravings, tell them to go to the shop after session
to get some multi vitamins of course you have to be convincing with this.
4 Tell them that you used to smoke and share a story of what you was
like when you tried to stop, they seem to listen to people that have
smoked and understand, more! This helps with rappour smokers wont take
you seriously with suggestions if they know you have never smoked, in
their eyes you don't understand, this is just my observation.
  5.Get personal info such as kids, family, passions they have for use
in session
  6.Induce hypnosis
  7.get them to use imagination take them to the hospital and show them
a person dieing from smoking its not them but it could be them! Use
the personal info to really bring this home, so it really hits them
and what they will lose etc.
8. Direct and indirect suggestions. that's about it. Its very
successful, but the occasional one or two just wont have it, which is
to be expected
I would love to hear your opinions on this, good or bad as I am sure
they will be!
And any ideas to improve on.
Thanks for reading.

Dear Michael

It's not quite that simple. What you do will depend on the type of
patient and the type of cancer. You might do anything from smoking
cessation on cancer wards to anxiety/grief relief in palliative care.
You might help with recovery from surgery. You might stop treatment
phobias (needles especially). You might help with the psychological
sequale of mastectomies. You might work individually or with groups or
both; physiologically, psychologically or both. On rota or on call. Or
both.

Whatever you do you are going to have to prove your bona fides,
including professional qualifications, insurance, and the hospital
will do an enhanced disclosure CRB check on you. You'll also have to
pass a medical.

Best wishes

barry
