Comments
WOW! What a start to the month!
It began for me with the New Zealand Hypnotherapy Federation Conference
on the 5th - 6th, then for the 7th - 11th my 5 Day Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy
Course - and lastly on the 11th - 12th I attended and spoke at the World
Hypnotherapy Conference in Sydney! Whew! As I write this, I'm still
in recovery mode, so that's the reason for a much later newsletter this
month.
The next news is: Several of you
have pinned me down and twisted my arm right up my back while strongly
suggesting that I hold just one more 5 Day Course this year!
Read more about that possibility below and take this opportunity to get
the training in before Christmas.
Sales of my new book Modern Suggestive
Hypnotherapy for Professionals are doing real well. I originally commissioned
sufficient on the 1st print for about 2 years, but and have sold 25% already
in less than 2 months! I trust that those of you who've already read
it, have discovered a little more about my effective therapy techniques
and are adding them to your own tool kit. A huge thanks to the NZAPH
committee for the wonderful award they presented to me at the NZHF conference
to celebrate the release. (See pic towards the bottom of this page)
Congratulations
also to Aaron McLoughlin and Mike Reeves-Smith for their similar publishing
awards.
Please enjoy the content of this

 Review
of Roy Hunter's NZHF Presentation
By Paula Clark
Roy Hunter, M.S., FAPHP of Alliance
Self-Empowerment Inc. USA., was a presenter and trainer at the 2009 National
Hypnotherapy Conference in Auckland.
The style and poise with which Roy
delivered both his Saturday presentation and his Sunday workshop was outstanding
to say the least. Roy has a presence and approach that kept the audience
focused and “mesmerized” throughout.
His style of hypnotherapy is very
much client centred and his theory is that we as therapists can help most
of our clients most of the time by using four primary hypnotherapy objectives.
The topic of his half day presentation
on Saturday covered these “4 Cornerstones of Successful Hypnotherapy”.
The only tool that Roy made use
of throughout his presentation was a square whiteboard on which he drew
a square in each corner. So simple, yet so effective.
The first square in the upper left
of the board represented step 1
Step 1 - Suggestion and Imagery.
The focus of this cornerstone was to bring home the fact that as hypnotherapists
we often centre our sessions on suggestion and imagery as our main tool
to help clients through there difficulties. And often this is successful,
however, it is not ALWAYS successful or the catalyst for lasting results.
As Roy quite rightly pointed out, as professional hypnotherapist we need
to have the knowledge and training to go further if the client does not
respond to suggestion and Imagery
The second square in the top right-hand
corner of the whiteboard .represented Step 2 (in the event of Suggestion
and Imagery proving unsuccessful).
Step 2 - Discover the Cause
– In this section Roy explained that in order to discover the cause
of resistance and therefore lack of success with the suggestion and imagery
method, we need to allow the client to reach into their own subconscious
mind to discover and reveal the cause of their unwanted behaviour or habit...........
and NOT form our own opinions and conclusions.
Once the client has divulged the
cause of resistance we can then move on.
The third cornerstone at the bottom
right of the whiteboard represented step 3.
Step 3 - Release - Roy discussed
some options for aiding the “release”, one being regression the other being
parts therapy (parts therapy was the topic of the full day workshop which
Roy held on the Sunday). He reiterated the ever important fact
that in order to use these methods you need to be fully trained and competent.
Once release has been achieved through negotiation and dialogue with the
client whilst in hypnosis, we can again move on.
The fourth cornerstone at the bottom
left of the board – Step 4
Step 4 - Subconscious Relearning
(or reprogramming). Again, dialogue with the client is
carried out in order to allow them to realize and understand things in
a positive perspective at a subconscious level that the pattern or behaviour
can be changed in a positive manner.
From here we can return to the first
cornerstone Step 1 - Suggestion and Imagery.
Possibly the most important message
in this presentation is to COMPLETE THE CYCLE - If you start a process
– COMPLETE IT and don’t leave any “stone” unturned. This presentation
brought home the critical point that it is so easy to leave the cycle incomplete
and therefore leaving the door open for the problem or difficulty to return.
For me, the presentation was highly
beneficial in that it reminded me that hypnotherapy is not just about getting
people to imagine, see, hear, taste, feel wonderful things............Our
clients are valuable fellow human beings and deserve a complete and professional
service from us as hypnotherapists. After all, and in a nutshell,
these are human minds and therefore lives that we are dealing with.
So it is of utmost importance that we tread with care, attention and thoroughness
for beneficial and long term success. I hope that Roy will be able to return
next year to help us continue our valuable work as successful, professional
hypnotherapists.

 FEAR
OF FLYING
By Robin
Harrison
I have become
aware over the last few years that often when we respond emotionally around
others, it is not always the words that we hear, but the way we hear them,
that provoke the feelings of inadequacy or fear that we experience.
Have you ever
considered that bodies are something like cell phones or transducers but
in an organic form. That for some people, who are highly sensitized,
information is being picked up on a vibrational or frequency level, and
converted instantaneously into destructive emotions via their body senses.
A feeling of being "kicked in the gut" of "panic", of being out of control,
and yet their conscious mind has no way of rationalizing what is happening.
Joe Dispenza
of What the Bleep Do We Know fame, says that "when we memorize emotional
states our body becomes our mind. Our body runs our mind.
It is running on automatic programming. That we need to unmemorize
the emotions so that we can become more".
Work with clients
suffering from fear, or panic attacks has shown me that sometimes sound,
is the determining factor. It is the "feeling" factor.
The impact of the vibrational frequency of that sound heard and interpreted
by the body (an organic transducer) on a deeper remembered level as I found
in the case study below:
A young
woman presented with a Fear of Flying. After some discussion I chose
regression as a means of therapeutic intervention.
On regressing
her to a time and place where she first experienced the feelings that she
was having now in relation to her fear of flying of being shut in, no control,
and feeling a sense of panic she described being in a room with her mother.
She was a small child and her mother was yelling at her. She
felt confined by the space and was unable to do anything about it.
Her expression was “I am shut in a room with my mother and she is screaming
at me” Her memories were that of an verbally abusive mother
where she was shut in the room, had no control and could not shut out the
sound of her mothers voice.
I asked
her to become aware of the tone of her mothers voice, what it sounded like
and what emotions that tone produced. I then asked her to change
the sound, to turn it down, to filter it, in what ever way she felt most
comfortable.
I invited
her to believe that she did have the power to work with the control room
of her mind to make a difference so that the sound of her mother’s voice
no longer impacted on her. She chose to imagine a filter on the outside
of her ears, something like beautiful invisible ear muffs that would filter
out the sound. That she could hear what was necessary but the
frequency of the sound could be toned down to a level that she was happy
with. Which she did. She was then able to experience
that same situation in calm and relaxed way with some sense of being in
control.
With this
regained sense of control and an understanding of the impact that tonal
frequencies can have on us and our bodies we then visited once more her
fear of flying. It would seem that once she had some control
over the sounds around her then she could sit back and enjoy the flight.
Which she
did. |

In My Opinion
...
The AHA World Hypnotherapy Conference
What a great experience the trip
to Sydney was, to attend and speak at the 60th Anniversary AHA World Hypnotherapy
Conference.
The Mercure Hotel venue was great
and everything seemed to run quite smoothly - thanks to the fine conference
organisational skills from Alison (Conexion Event Management Pty Ltd)
and her staff.
The 1st keynote speaker of the AHA
Conference sure rattled a few cages with his scathing comments about non-hypnotherapy
modalities practised by some Hypnotherapists. He tipped at least
one cage over too, as the lady sitting next to me stormed out in disgust
at his verbal attacks!
While I agree to some extent with
his comments that some alternative modalities practiced alongside Hypnotherapy
can confuse the public as to what is and is not Hypnotherapy ... I wonder
how many Reiki and EFT practitioners he may have trampled to get his point
across?
And as for his comments about not
having a big-arsed Jag - just a big arse. Is that really walking the talk
of a professional Hypnotherapist?
And what makes some experienced Hypnotherapists,
who started with a minimum of structured training then honed their techniques
on the job, think they can now dictate to newer Hypnotherapists as to what
is (and is not) appropriate entry level training into Hypnotherapy?
In my opinion, scare mongering, hypocrisy
and a pompous holier-than-thou attitude may be alive and well in Hypnotherapy!
I respectfully suggest that some Hypnotherapists may need to get over their
delusions of grandeur! After all, Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural
complementary therapy! |
As a hypnotherapist, it is always
a pleasure to learn from some of the greats in our field. Dr. Stephen Gilligan
has been honoured by the Milton Erickson Foundation by receiving the rarely
given Lifetime Achievement Award in honour of his many contributions. Steve
studied directly with Dr. Milton H. Erickson for many years and is known
widely for his neo-Ericksonian approach which incorporates his own work
on self-relations.
We are pleased to announce

This one or two week journey into the self is an experiential community

tools into practice. During Trance Camp, you will experience and learn
a variety of skills allowing a new connection to self and personal transformation.
Many participants return to Trance Camp year after year to experience not
only profound trance, but Steve himself. This is a must-be-at workshop

The award recognising the
release of my new book: Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy for Professionals.
Aaron McLoughlin and Mike Reeves-Smith
also received similar awards for their new books.
Also at this conference, I presented
two awards to Hypnosis New Zealand students.
Firstly Andrew Killick was recognised
for his amazing passion in changing his career into Hypnotherapy. I jokingly
referred to his award as "boots and all". He has transformed his home into
a clinic, arranged out of town rooms for an extra clinic and quit his regular
job! That's "boots and all" commitment and I wish him all the best
for a great future.
Also, Arpi Procter was recognised
for her involvement in incorporating Hypnotherapy into mainstream health
care. She (as a Drug & Alcohol Counsellor for a local Health Board)
has been granted permission to incorporate her Hypnotherapy techniques
into the patients' care regimes. She is already having major successes!
Surprise surprise! Well done Arpi! |
