Because you asked for it ... here it is!!! I am currently putting together a comprehensive Diploma of Advanced Hypnotherapy course to complement the existing Certificate and Diploma courses. This course will also be 5 days and $1400.00. It will be held in the same venue too. Since announcing the 1st Diploma of Advanced Hypnotherapy course for November 2010 (just last month) the response has been overwhelming and the course is pretty much filled already! So I've decided to run an earlier one, sometime in July, to make sure there is space for everyone who would like to attend. Watch the website for news of the course content and the extra date.

The top of King Street was totally empty of shops that sold anything good. A second hand shop called "Wot u Want", owned by Penny Jones, a chain smoking widow of fifty. "Berty’s Cycles and Mowers" next to her. Bought six months ago by Bryce London from Lance Littlefair, that sold neither cycles nor mowers, just outdoor furniture made from old fence posts and Macrocarpa slabs.

There was also a car yard that had a reputation for selling lemons, quite literally lemons, Victor Yakka one of the partners in the yard grew them organically and sold them in muslin bags at the gate. No one was quite sure where he came from; his olive skin and pale green eyes gave him the appearance of a bit of a foreign mongrel. The story was he came from somewhere with a mother from somewhere and a father from somewhere else. That was it. Victor was the last person you would think would be the part owner of Taylor & Yakka Quality Used Cars, Prices U can afford, Lemons $4.00 a bag. But there he was, July 26 2009, polishing a 1998 imported Mazda 323 with the sleeve of his homespun jersey.

It was nearly dark and the street light had just come on and then gone off again as it always did, causing Victor to look up from his work. A car pulled up across the street and parked outside St Mathew’s Presbyterian Church. Barry Clintoff climbed out and seeing Victor gave a half-hearted wave. Victor gave a wholehearted wave back with a hand covered in jersey. “See you in a minute.” He yelled across the street.
“Ah God.” Thought Barry. “Ok” he said with one of his brightest smiles.

Barry was a dentist. There were two in town, a Russian one, the one that all of the immigrants went to, like Victor. The other was Barry.
Barry was all teeth, a testament to his profession. Many people joked that when he smiled they were afraid that light aircraft might mistake it for the landing zone. Barry was also a self trained hypnotherapist with a clinic, and it was there, behind the church, he was heading. Barry fumbled for the keys in his black stone wash jeans. He could barely get his hand into his pocket. The pants were very tight. The vanity of Barry liked the fact it left a discernible bulge that he thought all of the ladies would appreciate. In truth he looked more like an over inflated lilo.

Managing finally to get into the clinic and get the lights on (and heaters) Barry looked around. The first thing that hit him, apart from the book case that fell every time someone closed the door, was the smell. It was the smell of the Chinese take away next door, cigarettes, sweet and sour and sweat. It was the kind of smell that left a slight tingle to the nose. Sighing ,Barry started picking up the books and waited for Victor. It was 6:45 when the Victor walked in.

It’s not easy to score yourself a “life partner” when you are still living with your Mother and you’ve just turned thirty five, but the eternal optimism of Victor and Victoria Yakka never dampened their spirit. It would happen someday. The seemingly insurmountable odds facing the twins was considerable. Forget the fact of living with your Mother who after a short bout of mental illness called her twins Victor and Victoria and then promptly shortened both names to Vic. That was the least of their problems. No, the politically incorrect term was they were ugly, they had faces only their mother could love and even then she wasn’t sure.

Vic had eyes that were just a little too close together and just a little too small, bluish and sat on an extraordinarily large head. The little red ski jump nose sat squarely in the centre of his face giving the impression of a target and the tiny mouth only just covered the top set of large yellow teeth. This whole thing was ringed with short black curly hair that went down his neck and probably his back.

Vic, Vic’s sister, also had eyes that were just a little too close together and just a little too small, bluish and sat on an extraordinarily large head. The little red ski jump nose sat squarely in the centre of her face giving the impression of a target and the tiny mouth only just covered the top set of large yellow teeth. This whole thing was ringed with long black curly hair that went down her back.

They sat in their usual chairs in the clinic. Barry just sat and looked at Victor. No one said a word. The clock on the wall ticked and another book fell off the shelf.
“I need help.” Said Vic eventually.
“What is it today?”
“It’s Wobbly Linda. I think she fancies me. What do I do next? Can you hypnotise me to be more attractive to her?”
“Sure. I’ll get my book.” Barry reached down to the floor where Grant Boddingtons book had fallen. Barry’s bible. “I must read this sometime.” Thought Barry.

He turned to the index looking for anything that might help. He skipped part one and two and went straight for the extras. Crap, nothing.
“Now Vic as I have already told you, hypnotism is like magic. I can make you do anything I want and tonight I want you to look better.”
“But I’m perfectly happy with the way I look. I think it’s just my hair that puts people off.”

Barry wasn’t listening. All he could think of was the $120 he was going to get at the end of the session and maybe there would be time to get to the TAB. He took out his pocket watch and started dangling it in front of Vic. After about ten minutes of dangling and Vic looking around the room, Barry had a thought.
“There we go. All done.”
“But you didn’t do anything.”
“Ah you just don’t remember.”
“But it’s only 7:10.”
“Time can be distorted sometimes when you are under my spell. You have the money?”
