This is a comprehensive two day idea exchange, held in Auckland, and packed with enlightening presentations, extraordinary networking opportunities, and plenty of inspiration ... all designed to provide you with an action list filled two days, with new ideas and strategies you can begin using the following week!

These are times of tremendous challenge; they require the best of each of us. By coming together for a weekend of collaborative learning with experienced hypnotherapy practitioners, some experts in their field, we have an opportunity to discover the visions we all share, and understand more deeply the likely realities that will emerge from them. Such knowledge can help us shape our choices with greater awareness, skill and wisdom.

Gizer's Story About Fears
by Coach William C Smith

Grant, here's Gizer's story about fears. I designed it originally for children - specifically for my little seven year old Niece who recently decided she was afraid of her stuffed animals, dolls, and pictures hanging on her wall. It mostly bothered her at night, but the dolls were a problem during the day as well. She said they looked "creepy" and her Mother had to put them in the garage.

After some thought, I decided to enlist my co-author, Gizer - my old dog that died four years ago, but still helps me with these types of assignments. The story is about when Gizer goes to the Zoo to visit his Zoo Animal Children Friends. He finds them discussing Fears and has a talk with them. He teaches them some techniques for looking at Fears differently.

After making it into a CD and listening to it a couple of times, I decided I would use it with my adult clients as well. I was working with a 67 year old lady who was afraid of small lizards. Big iguanas were OK, but small ones frightened her.She liked the CD and said she found it helpful.

Here's the link to the story on my website:
http://www.hypnosisrc.com/gizers_fear_story_for_children.html

I will be sharing it with my class at the NGH Convention in August. Here's a link to my workshop at the Convention:http://www.ngh.net/conv/2011/229.pdf

Letter To All NZAPH Members
(from the new President, Meredith McCarthy)
MeredithM

Hi to all of my fellow NZAPH members,

I would like to say that it is an honour to be part of a profession that is full of so many amazing people that are interested in helping people overcome their fears and support them through the emotional shifts in an empowering way. That is why I feel so enthusiastic about being the current President of the NZAPH, I want to see hypnotherapists in New Zealand become united and to be taken seriously. To achieve this, it is important to roll out some fresh ideas that will transform the way this organisation will support all of us.

I will be contacting you all individually to get to know what your needs are and see how we can match them. I am currently looking at ways that we can run many professional development days throughout New Zealand joining, sometimes, with other organisations such as NLP, coaching and counselling groups that have a shared interest in working with people. I am looking to find ways of promoting our services as hypnotherapists to communities and through the internet. I would like people to look to hypnotherapy as one of their first options when they are needing help to quit smoking, manage weight loss, get balance in their lives and overcome stress and anxiety.

I would like to create a more collective voice where we all get to know one an other and form a great network of knowledge that can be shared. Some of you may wonder why I would like to join in on some of the professional development days that may be run by other organisations. My experience is that the more people that we meet and the more opportunity that we have as hypnotherapists to talk about what we do and how we do it, the more people gain a better understanding of how we could be helpful to them when they have clients that they are not sure how to work with, or feel that hypnotherapy could add value to their clients. The more referrals you get the stronger your reputation gets. As more people choose to share how hypnotherapy changed their life, so we begin to educate people and, as a profession, gain more credibility. I also believe that we can learn to widen our tool belts and become skilled at using these tools when needed.

Over the last couple of years there has been a drop in the economy and I know many of you may have found it hard to run a successful hypnotherapy business. It is therefore essential that we find ways of supporting you as a hypnotherapists to grow your business. Professional development days provide the opportunity to meet with fellow therapists, to share information on how we individually run our businesses, and how to build into a successful business. I would also like to cover the importance of clinical supervision and, of course, have demonstrations of hypnotherapy techniques and approaches for specific issues.

I would like to look at getting our members to share more and write articles, create pod-casts that can stimulate learning and conversation. We could look at a "blog" on the Members part of our Website, where we can seek advice, support and share experiences and knowledge. I would like to thank Grant Boddington for doing such a great job as through creating Hypnotes, he has offered to support our organisation and will continue to do so by promoting hypnotherapy events and sharing articles. So, we already have a great resource that we can collectively add too.

I would also like to thank Claire Buckley our amazing secretary who behind the scenes has been working tirelessly to organise the venue, speakers, food, information packs etc at the joint conference and making all look seamless so thank you for your amazing effort.

I would also like to thank Kevin Bateman our membership secretary. He has quite a lot of responsibility and also sits on our examination board. He is often the first person people deal with when they come into our association. Kevin is passionate about working as a hypnotherapist and runs a monthly hypnotherapy meeting in Wellington which I, and many of my other hypnotherapists, enjoy meeting at and discussing topics that stimulate ideas and learning. If any of you are also interesting in running or attending a monthly meeting in your area please email us with your interest and we will do our best to connect you with colleagues in your area, so that this can be achieved.

I would also like to thank Dean Badcock who keeps track of out financials every year it is one of those essential roles in any organisation that often happens without acknowledgement, so thank you Dean for doing a great job.

I would also like to thank all the committee members for collaborating and a welcome to Pauline Kam, Wade Jackson, Ben Caswell, Robin Anne Harrison to this year's committee. If any of you out there are interested in being a part of our committee please let us know it is a wonderful way to be part of our future. Welcome also to Terry Keillor our new Vice President, Terry has been working updating our website and I look forward to working with him as we move forward.

On that note I would like to end by thanking Sue Leech for all her work and support to our organisation and show our gratitude for her commitment to our profession. At this year's joint NZANLP and NZAPH conference in Rotorua, Sue talked about using hypno-band which is a great tool that can assist weight loss clients to change their thinking, manage their weight and control their portion sizes. I found the information very interesting and well worth looking into so thank you for sharing your knowledge.

So I look forward to getting to knowing you all a little better, my door is open so please feel free to connect with me any time.

Warm regards

Meredith McCarthy
