Welcome and thanks for reading this May 2010 edition of HYPNOTES. Only ONE Place Left! The July 19th-23rd Hypnosis New Zealand Advanced Hypnotherapy course is almost full - with just one space left now! So if you've been considering attending and advancing your Hypnotherapy techniques, then please complete/return a registration form to reserve your place. See more info on the course below. Peer Support Network a Great Success The brand new Hypnosis New Zealand Peer Support Network (that I set up barely a month ago) has surged ahead and is now approaching 30 members!  So all those past HNZ students who'd like to give and receive support to others, please let me know by email or telephone and I'll add you to the network.  It's all about sharing!  (HNZ students can check out the Peer Support Network on the hidden resources page that only you have access to. Email me for a new link, if you've lost the way in.) Busy Time Ahead We're well into the busy mid-year months and the economic recovery (what recession?) seems well entrenched now.  Hypnosis New Zealand is growing and maturing to match its maker.  June will see me presenting another of my very popular Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy courses in Auckland - as well as attending the NZAPH conference in Taupo on my way home.  July is the new Hypnosis New Zealand Advanced Hypnotherapy course - and then August is the NZHF conference in Auckland.  Lots of hours, lots of smiles and lots of miles! (In my new "NOTIST" mobile.) Watch This Space There will be some huge news on the Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy front in the next couple of months, so please watch this space!

Gil Boyne, probably more than any of the modern day Masters of Hypnotherapy had such an impact on the profession in modern times. He transformed the profession in many ways. He is an icon in the history of hypnosis.  Gil was highly respected by his peers, and could also be very controversial at times. Love him or hate him, his legacy will live on. 

For those who had the honour of learning from him, I’m sure you will agree that his rapid techniques of “Transforming Therapy” had a major impact on how many of us work with clients. I agree with Scott Sandiland who says on www.hypnothoughts.com “for the few of you who didn't know of him, that you were absolutely impacted by him.” 

Many of you may not know of the time and effort Gil put in to prevent “The Establishment” outlawing “lay” practitioners. He appeared in may court cases to fight for the open practice of hypnotherapy. We owe him much gratitude, because if ‘they’ had won in the USA it could well have had an influence elsewhere, and we may not have had the freedom to practice Hypnotherapy in this country as we do today.

I first met Gil in Anaheim (USA), and had the honour of training with him in 1990. That was an inspiring experience and from then on I totally changed the way I worked with my clients. 

Alpha Hypnosis Training had the honour of hosting and organising training seminars for Gill on his visits to New Zealand, where he taught his rapid techniques of Transforming Therapy. The man had a charismatic presence, and students held onto his every word. We were privileged to be considered a friend as well as a colleague, and to be granted, by Gil, exclusive N.Z. rights to show his training videos to our students.

 “Our profession has lost a giant who can only be replaced by the aggregate of his many students.  No single person will fill his shoes, though we will all stand on his shoulders.  Gil Boyne was a force of nature in our field who will always be remembered with deserved reverence.” Scott Sandiland http://www.hypnothoughts.com/forum/topics/rip-gil-boyne. The photo above is also from that site. 

There are many places on the internet to find out more about Gil, and I encourage you to learn more about him. His own web site is http://gil-boyne.com and there are many other sites and information about him on the web. 

Sad though this day is with Gil’s passing, let us spend some moments reflecting on this great man in our profession. And, let us also acknowledge and celebrate his amazing legacy to our profession and to us as Hypnotherapists.

Workshop:  Your Therapeutic Feast
This therapeutic feast is divided into 3 dining delights and aimed to satisfy the hungriest therapist.
Entrée:  Client-Centred Hypnotherapy (CCH).
A tasty morsel blended with your client’s words, gestures and utterings to develop a taste for applying CCH concepts which after all is the main course.
Main Course:  Metaphors
A sumptuous blend of delicacies that stimulate the cognitive and conative taste buds.  This nutritional feast will synthesise your senses and inspire your mind to savour each titbit.
Dessert:  Hypnothetical
Some of you will have the opportunity to take part in this final serving.  Whilst this will be a fun activity it is  full bodied to encompass the flavours decanted from our entrée and main course not so delicately balanced with a touch of simulated role play.  In real life, the culinary zenith of every good meal is often served with a ‘whine’ and the occasional salty tear.  The catharsis of emotional cognition leaves your client feeling satiated if not tired and drained. 
• 11.45 – 12.45pm Lunch 
• 12.45  - 4.00pm  Shelley  Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD  (includes 15 mins tea/coffee break)

• 4pm   Conclusion & Farewell

Greetings fellow health professionals.  As you may be aware, the New Zealand Hypnotherapy Federation, the umbrella organisation – the Peak Body - for the profession, organises the National Hypnotherapy Conference weekend each year in Auckland. This year is its 16th anniversary. 

Established in 1993, the Federation was responsible for bringing together the various professional associations, which together formed the membership of the budding organisation. Membership was opened in 2003 to other hypnotherapy organisations, and has a current membership of eight organisations; professional associations, training schools and the registration board.  Initially a one day event, the conference was extended in 2004 to include On-going Training Workshops on the Sunday, and extended the conference to a full two day event.  The workshops have proved to be very popular with attendees. 

In 2005 the Hypnotherapy Award Dinner was launched, held on the Saturday evening of the weekend. This provides the Federation member organisations with an opportunity to honour those whom have given excellent service and/or dedication in some way to their organisation and/or the profession, or because of their own achievements within the field. 

Last year’s conference weekend was one of the largest, and best, ever held. We were honoured to have as Key Note Speaker and guest presenter, Mr Roy Hunter. After collating delegates feedback forms, this was the best ever weekend. Over 99% of them stated the value for money was very good or excellent! 

About the Workshop: 
“An exceptional day. The quality and content, the patient and thoughtful responses, to questions and queries have been most impressive. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn first-hand from someone with real knowledge and commitment to this therapy.” Briget Fox Rogers. 

This year’s conference is already stacking up to be as good as last year, and you will want to be there.   We have already confirmed two international presenters – 

• Gary Johnston - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 
• Alan Patching - HypnoFertility
