Hello All,

I would like to truly thank everyone for their advice, suggestions,
support and sharing in this matter. You all are such wonderful people.


Thank You Very Much!!!!

Namaste,

Hello Steve,

To answer your question, ABSOLUTELY!  I have trained with Lynsi Eastburn who
created the HypnoBirthing HypnoFertility program and it is amazing in this
line of work.  There is a lot you can do as a Hypnotist to help her become
pregnant...but I highly recommend doing the training or referring her to
someone who specializes in this field as it can be pretty in depth.  I have
had great success using Lynsi's program with my clients.

If you have additional questions, feel free to email me off list.  There are
things you can do in the meantime, but if this is something you are
intersted in doing more of, then you should look into HypnoFertilty with
Lynsi.

Best,
Kathryn

Hypnosis To Become Pregnant
Posted by: "ultraheight" ultraheight@...   ultraheight
Sat Nov 29, 2008 2:19 am (PST)
Hello Everyone,

I recently had someone contact me. She wants to try hypnosis in
order to become pregnant, as her and her husband have been trying for
about a year now. Both have been to see a doctor and there are no
physical reasons to eliminate the possibility of pregnancy.

It turns out that her husband has had three other children during a
prior marriage. two of his children were born with illness. My
potential client has grown a great fear that if she were to become
pregnant and give birth, that her child would be born with illness
also. She also has a very strong fear of sex due to her family
looking down on sex as she was growing up. She experimented with sex
when she was 18 and has felt tremendous guilt from that experience
ever since.

My question is...is it possible to use hypnosis in order to help
her become pregnant? It appears to me that her mind is blocking her
body from conceiving due to her fear and guilt. Obviously, it would
help her greatly to overcome her feelings of fear and guilt and that
I will help her with. I would just like to be able to say that I can
help her with becoming pregnant based on the fact that this has been
done before.

Any help and advice is always greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Dear Hypno-community,

Anybody out there could help me out with spanish material?
All of my books, videos, audios are in english, but I will mostly be
working in Mexico.
If you could give, sell or recommend quality spanish language
material, please let me know. Actually any patter would be great just
to get a good hang of the word usage.
My spanish is pretty good, and I will write my own texts, but I would
love to read some existing "hypno language" to help me start off on
the right foot.

Thank you!

Low-Cost Group Supervision for Professional  Hypnotherapists

Most professional hypnotherapists have an obligation to maintain adequate
professional supervision.  It can be difficult to organise, so we have set  up
two regular supervision groups in London.  Because these are group  sessions
the cost per month is a fraction of normal one-to-one  supervision.  These are
formal chaired sessions led by an experienced  hypnotherapist and UKCP
registered psychotherapist.  Content includes  presentation of client case
material,
practice sessions, discussion of theory  and practice, and practice-building
support.

There are very limited spaces on these supervision groups, usually only 6-8
people.  These two groups have almost filled up already.  PLEASE get  in touch
as soon as possible, if you are not already in clinical supervision, or  are
looking to improve your supervision arrangements by joining a more  structured
group session.  Please contact Lorna Cordwell, our supervisor,  at the email
below, if you're interested.

Lorna Cordwell
_hypno.therapy@..._ (mailto:hypno.therapy@...)
Telephone: 0207 467 8559


When is it?
There are two different groups which meet once per month, one on Mondays  the
other on Wednesdays.

Groups last 2 hours, from 7.15pm-9.15pm


Where is it?

Hi Merryn,

My wife has a lot of experience in this field. She is Chair of Doula
UK and a Natal Hypnotherapy practitioner here in the UK. The NH
approach is not to 'anaesthetise' thew childbirth experience but to
give couples the tools to manage their fears and therefore manage the
pain. It has been shown that with increased fear there will be
increased pain. I believe that the experience of childbirth is an
important life experience for all those involved and with NH this
experience can be remembered with joy.

The NH process involves workshops with the parents-to-be supplying
them with the knowledge to deal with hospitals, consultants, midwives
and fears. It teaches them self-hypnosis techniques to empower them
not to aneathetise them.

To answer your points :

> 1) What approach/methods/suggestions etc you used
See above.
> 2) Your level of success in achieving a positive birth experience for
> the mother (or yourself!)
The NH method has been shown to give far better than average birth
experiences for both mother and partner.
> 3) Any advice or recommendations you have around how to maximise
> effectiveness
I suggest empowering your clients wit knowledge. The best approach,
IMHO, is cognitive behavioural and knowledge is king.
> 4) Any suggested books, references etc that may be helpful
I suggest you look at the web site www.natalhypnotherapy.co.uk .

I hope this helps.

Duncan

Hi, Merrin -
   I have successfully used a relaxation technique with anchors, and suggestions
involving visualizations of smooth birth, healthy mother and child, and also,
when appropriate to the mother's personality, a feeling of control of the whole
procedure and faith in the OB's and nurses' skills, as well as any instruments
or technology that may be used. Use the mother's own belief system / religious
beliefs to enhance all, such as a beloved figure or angel, etc. surrounding her
with wings, love, protection, bubble of white light...whatever fits her
perceptions.
  Best of luck to you,

It's quite a good book but it is pretty old now.  Elman's comments are
directed at doctors and their patients and not as relevant to modern
hypnotherapy as some other books.  He also makes a few glaring
mistakes, e.g., he concluded in the last section of the book that
hypnotherapy was useless for smoking cessation.  He also seems to use
the term "abreaction" incorrectly, to refer simply to reliving a memory
rather than to the release of repressed emotion.

A more subtle point about Elman...  He consistently claims to be
inducing a state of profound physical and mental relaxation in his
clients, accompanied by amnesia, which he terms "somnambulism."
However, Elman's tapes clearly reveal that his clients do not actually
sound particularly relaxed during regression.  They also clearly recall
what happened during the session as he discusses the experience with
them immediately afterwards, so it's not clear how they could have been
subject to the "blanket amnesia" supposed to be characteristic of
hypnotic somnambulism.  It looks like he was probably over-stating the
amount of relaxation and amnesia his clients typically exhibited.

Incidentally, the frequency of "somnambulism" is one of the few things
we have any statistics for from Victorian hypnotism.  Braid says only 5-
10% of his clients exhibited genuine somnambulism, Liebault, Bernheim
and other Victorian hypnotists put the figure slightly higher, but
still only at around 10-15%.

William Kroger's Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis.
Andre Weitzenhoffer's Hypnotism.
Heap & Aravind's edition of Hartland's Medical & Dental Hypnosis.

These are some of the main traditional textbooks used by
hypnotherapists.  A good recent book is Assen Alladin's Cognitive
Hypnotherapy.

Best,

Don Robertson

Probably because no one has yet seen the value in the question?  Don't know.

And see there, how does that answer the question?  Before I got bored, I
counted 19 books by LeCron listed on Amazon alone, and that does not count
translations, revisions and republications.  He has got to be one of the
most prolific popular writers on the subject.  AND, he is not particularly
illuminating to anyone who wants more than just a casual view of hypnosis.
(Though I applaud his prolific writing in that it has probably removed the
mysticical feelings about hypnosis that millions of people had.)

Having a criterion for accepting sources for one's study is always
limiting.  Of course, that is not always bad.  One should probably exclude
books about Martians Landing in Central Park from a serious research project
on space exploration.  The downside is that sometimes one can eliminate good
sources of information in error.  That is why sensible criteria should be
used in the selection process and something as arbitrary as "has only
written one book" does not seem to be a useful one.  Not much more useful
than the similarly arbitrary criteria: "has a blue cover", or "author's name
starts with one of the first three or last six letters of the alphabet."

I might have given a good reading list (I have in the past for serious
inquiries) but why would I bother when someone approaches learning that way?

Whatever his views maybe, and however they may differ from yours. It is
still important to answer his question, which I have yet to actually see
someone do.



Some books I would recommend:



The Complete Guide to Hypnosis - Leslie M. LeCron



(The book I am reading at the moment, some info is outdated, but it is
overall a great book)



Hypnosis: Medicine of the Mind - Dr. Michael D. Preston



There are other authors that I would recommend, but they do not fall under
your criteria. I do not know how many books either of these people have
written on the subject. But in this I do agree with the others who have
spoken up. I think that you are negating a lot of good information through
your belief, I personally think that you should consider another approach,
reading whatever you can get your hands on, and taking from those what you
agree with, and letting the rest fall to the wayside. In the end, all
information can have a usefulness, and you can disregard anything you do not
think is right. But, disregarding anything by prolific authors is  going to
hinder your own learning.



Learning as Always.

So if someone has written more than a few books then you assume that
everything that they've said must be of very little value?  That
doesn't really make sense, does it?  Even if you thought that someone
wrote too much, surely some of what they said might be of value.

Er, don't you think, at least sometimes, that people write a really
good book and then get lots of contracts to write more as a result?

So by your measure, Milton Erickson or Andre Weitzenhoffer would have
less of value to say than somebody who's only ever put together one
article on hypnosis?

Also, when people publish their work it often means that they get
critical feedback that they would otherwise not have received, and
that they have a chance to deepen their research and refine their
ideas in further publications.

Best,

Don

You might consider challenging that belief.  I'm sure glad that Aristotle

Hi I started a discussion on my blog at Hypnothoughts and would love
your input.

  What do you think is the most effective way to  do self-hypnosis?  Do
you think clients can overcome deep and serious issues on their own
with self hypnosis?

We also talk about this on Cal Banyan's Hypnosis Etc with Celeste
Hackett.  Google it and you'll find a wonderful webtv show on this.

Hi, all - That's a good one....How about this one, too : Fresh breeze blows the
disturbing sound away...or the cute little Carol Burnett cleaning woman sweeps
or mops it away.

Hypnosis Weight Loss Clients

Some latest research brings up the subject matter of portion size in early
childhood and how it affects our children and their decisions later in life of
how much food is enough. We as hypnotists encounter this issue when not only
dealing children who are having portion size conflicts but also with adults who
want to release old habits.

Below is an article regarding the latest research showing how environment
affects us and our decisions on how much a portion is.

How Are Children Choosing Their Food Portions?

ScienceDaily (Oct. 14, 2008) — At dinner time, parents will often tell their
child to clean their plate. However, that old maxim might lead kids to eat more
than they need, especially when portions are adult-sized or supersized.

In findings to be presented at The Obesity Society's Annual Meeting on Oct. 7,
children took more food when larger portions were made available to them.

Jennifer Fisher, Ph.D., associate professor of public health and researcher at
the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University, and her
research team observed 61 children between five and six years old to determine
their eating habits when normal entrée portions (275 g) and "super-sized"
entrée portions (550g) were offered. The children used either teaspoons or
tablespoons to serve themselves.

They found that while children served themselves larger portions when the
super-sized meal was available, portion sizes varied by gender, ethnicity, and
parents' reports of child feeding practices — all environmental influences on
children's eating behavior.

Fisher theorizes that having large amounts of food available conveys a social
expectation about portion size that condones larger self-served portions.

"Seeing a large amount of food in front of you can lead you to believe that
someone decided this portion was the right amount to eat," she said. "These
results suggest that children take cues from their eating environments when
deciding how much is enough."

There currently is very little research on what factors affect children's eating
habits, but Fisher's team hopes to pinpoint some of these factors to determine
how children's eating patterns develop, which could help stave off unhealthy
relationships with food later on in life.

"We are interested in the cues that children take from their eating environments
when serving themselves," said Fisher. "Many questions about children's eating
habits are as yet unanswered, such as whether large quantities of food and large
utensils prompt children to eat more or if the size of children's self-served
portions influences their caloric intake."

Fisher and her team are currently exploring a number of different avenues to
determine the association between the amount of food children are served and the
amount they're actually eating.

"Our goal is to try to identify ways to promote healthful choices from an early
age," she said. "We want children to grow up with good eating habits, and
without having to struggle with food issues into adulthood."

Other authors on this study include Michael A. Grusak, Ph.D, and Sheryl O.
Hughes, Ph.D, of the Children's Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of
Medicine, and Leann L. Birch of the Center for Childhood Obesity Research at
Penn State University. Funding for this research was provided by the United
States Department of Agriculture.

Wow, such a heated discussion.  I do have a Ph.D. in Clinical
Hypnotherapy from American Pacific University.  My reason for doing this
was not marketing, prestige, or anything like that.  I actually do a
very small amount of direct work involving my degree.

I did find that I was needing structure in the way I was learning about
hypnotherapy and specifically language patterns.  The study required to
complete this program expanded my understanding in that direction in a
guided way rather than just paying for assorted trainings from a variety
of folks.   I had to express myself in writing and have someone evaluate
and grade that work.

Lastly I wrote a long primary research thesis on the very patterns that
I wanted to know about.  I would have never come anywhere near doing
this without the program referenced.  I have now continued to write and
research these areas and enjoy the benefits of it.

This was certainly no mill degree and was done in a similar fashion to
self directed degrees when I went to UMASS for my BA.  If a student
there can get a Ph.D. in Frisbee (yes, one did while I was there.) then
there is no reason the same level of training and education in
Hypnotherapy should be denigrated.

I encourage anyone to delve deeply into the study of the mind and share
it generously as we all grow through the expansion of knowledge.

Be sure to get a referral from the treating physician who has prescribed
the lithium and don't address anything but cigarette smoking even if
asked directly by the client.

Short of that it would not be worth the risk to see the client.

Morning everyone...

Firstly, apologies for cross-posting.

I'd like some advice on the following if you all don't mind.
I have a potential smoking cessation (and anxiety issues) client who
has contacted me. They have told me that they are bipolar and are on
prescribed Lithium at 1,200mg/day.

Now, I think I know the answer to this as I've completed Donald's
Smoking Cessation CPD Course and know a fair bit about the
difficulties associated with smoking cessation and depresion (and, of
course, taking strong medication) but do you think I can, or should,
take this client?

I hope your responses will help all other practitioners on here and
not only me.

All the best,

Duncan
