GrantWelcome to HYPNOTES.  

The biggest news in this month's edition is probably the revamped Hypnosis New Zealand Membership Information page which now features access to the brand new Members' Library.  Check out more information about that below.

"Featured Hypnotherapist" this month is Lorraine Morrow from Alexandra.  Lorraine has completed the Hypnosis New Zealand Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Hypnotherapy courses and is a fine practitioner.  Next month, we are featuring Allison Ludlow from Hawkes Bay.

We are still promoting the exciting new site for NZ based Natural Therapists - offering a webpage for 6 months Free Trial - plus Free Advertising for events!  The site is just over two months old and growing well.  At last count we have created 28 webpages for natural therapists!.  Have you taken up the generous offer yet?

Remember that free advertising space is always available in HYPNOTES for most local and international Hypnosis content. (If you do want to return the favour, then write us an article to accompany your advert.)   So, if you (or your organisation) support HNZ, then we're pleased to be of service in helping you to grow or publicise your Hypnosis activities, information or promotion - all at no charge.

Lorraine MorrowFeatured Hypnotherapist: Lorraine Morrow
Hi there, I'm Lorraine Morrow and I am a proud graduate of Hypnosis New Zealand.  In August I attended the Advanced Hypnotherapy Course with Grant.   As well as being an opportunity to enhance and cement my knowledge of hypnotherapy, I also spent the week getting to know some really inspirational people.

I have had many job descriptions in my life but none more challenging or rewarding than being mother to my five children.  I live in Alexandra in beautiful Central Otago with my husband and teenage son. We have a saying down here amongst the locals; "It's just another day in Paradise"

To think we used to laugh at the old sexist maxim "Its a woman's prerogative to change her mind."  The good news is we can all do it!  As Hypnotherapists we have the skills and the honour of assisting people to change their minds and
therefore change their lives for the better.  I personally feel privileged to be working with the mind, having had a lot of fun and challenges with my own. I enjoy expanding my knowledge of it and learn something new everyday. I am particularly passionate about stress management and anxiety, having needed to learn these skills for myself has made me aware of their impact on our lives both mentally and physically and it would seem even more so in today's world.

I love being a hypnotherapist, helping people to make positive changes in their lives because truly....  It is the mind that changes everything!

HNZ Membership Information
I have just added a brand new page of Membership Information to the Hypnosis New Zealand sites.  You can access this information from the link at the top left of all three HNZ websites, or if you'd like to have peek now; then this link will get you there.

The new page outlines the many advantages of HNZ membership - including:
  • Professional Mentoring
  • Peer Support Network
  • Directory of NZ Hypnotherapists listing
  • Members' Library
  • plus more!
All of these valuable advantages are for our members - and help Hypnosis New Zealand to be probably the most progressive and efficient Hypnotherapy group in NZ.
HNZ Members Library
One of the most progressive additions to Hypnosis New Zealand in recent times, is the launch of our Members Library.  This is a service that has been offered in the past from other groups, but this new Hypnosis New Zealand service is very visible to members and it's workable!  If you visit the Membership Information page (from the link at the top left of all three HNZ websites, or via this link) you'll be able to see the first few book titles already listed.  

Hypnosis New Zealand members can sign in to the restricted area to read a short synopsis on each book and to arrange to borrow one book at a time via the ordering system there.  Payment of a nominal fee is to cover return courier.  All books are sent via courier and include a prepaid return addressed courier pack for the book's return at the end of the loan period.

More interesting and informative Hypnosis books are on order and the library stock is expected to rise steadily over time.

2012 Hypnotherapy Courses
The course dates and fees have all been announced for next year and there is plenty of scope for initial (Certificate in Hypnotherapy), intermediate (Diploma of Hypnotherapy) and advanced (Diploma of Advanced Hypnotherapy) training with Hypnosis New Zealand.  

More News!
In December I'll also be announcing a great new training opportunity to HNZ members - and to then to other supporters early in the new year.

What Makes for a Better Hypnotherapist? 
Every Hypnotherapist with an opinion (and that's pretty much all of them)  has a different idea on the degree of skill/knowledge required nowadays to become a "better" Hypnotherapist.  "Better" in whose eyes though?   Hypnotherapists, like all professionals, are ultimately judged by their clients, moreso than by their peers.  Their reputation is largely a factor of their ability to naturally build a strong rapport based on mutual respect and intention with a majority of clients.  Many of the successes generated, are subsequently then based on this rapport.

Because Hypnotherapy is such a free natural therapy, practitioners range from those lay Hypnotists who can induce a trance and present a few simple suggestions, right through to those who have done every training imaginable and know a myriad of complicated techniques from a multitude of different sources.  But which is the better Hypnotherapist?  In my opinion, neither .... they're simply different!  Every client and Hypnotherapist combination will interact differently - and often the results have less to do with the training and more to do with the respect, intentions and rapport between the two. 

As an illustration of this, think about some of the most highly trained health professionals in your community and which you would and wouldn't visit as a patient.  There are probably several who you would avoid - regardless of their training; and those who you would consult because of their reputation.  It's highly likely that the best reputations are primarily a combination of the practitioner's personality and attitude, before their theoretical or even practical ability.  They are, after all, called "practitioners"!  And supposedly have all been trained to a similar standard.

In my experience, it seems that most Hypnotherapists started by dabbling!  They learned a few inductions, a few suggestions and tried it out ... and it worked!  They successfully induced a trance and probably provided their client (usually a friend) with some positive benefits from their "therapy".  But, how much of the positive result was due to the actual technique and how much was due to the rapport, expectation and intention of each to gain a positive result?

Every week I receive dozens of emails and phonecalls from a prospective Hypnotherapy clients from all over NZ, requesting my recommendation of the best Hypnotherapist in their area.   I have a very specific and rather standard answer.  After learning where the prospective client resides, I choose 2 or 3 of the (in my opinion) best Hypnotherapists for the purpose (usually from my Directory of NZ Hypnotherapists) and provide the prospective client with their contact details and suggestions to call them all!  In most cases, one of those Hypnotherapists will strike the most significant instant rapport with the prospective client and probably be the "better" Hypnotherapist for that person.


NTNZ
A little over two months ago - on September 1st, Karen & I launched a great webpage service for all NZ Natural Therapists.  Natural Therapists of New Zealand is set to become one of the most effective and popular resources of its type in NZ.   Check out the bright, fresh & user-friendly new site here: www.naturaltherapists.co.nz

As introductory specials, we are offering all NZ Natural Therapists:
  • FREE TRIAL WEBPAGE FOR YOU AND YOUR THERAPY! (For 6 months)
    • submit your information now from this page.
  • FREE ADVERTISING FOR YOUR TRAINING EVENTS! (For the rest of 2011)
    • submit your information now for a free advert on this page.
Once you've sent us your information (using the form provided) your webpage will be created within a day or two and be simply and clearly designed to keep visitors on it - rather than lure them off by many tempting exit links.  The simple effective design, combined with very reasonable pricing (after your free 6 months trial period) makes this a great alternative to other similar services that are around twice the price.  So, this is probably the best value webpage deal for natural therapists in NZ!

This is a great opportunity to either have a professional webpage to provide your first internet presence - or to supplement an existing website you already own.  The more sites with your name on them, the better!  On the internet, just like day-to-day life: A crowd creates a crowd!   NTNZ is already #1 for searches for "Natural Therapists" on Google NZ, Yahoo NZ and Bing NZ(Click those links to see where we rank today.)
