Managing Stress More Effectively With Hypnosis
Not all stress is bad: it can serve as a much-needed motivator to complete tasks and reach our goals.
However, if stress is neglected, it can have a negative impact on your mind and body, as well as your life.
We all respond to stress in different ways, and many health problems can be attributed to psychological imbalances.
Because of this, learning how to manage your stresses will lead to not only a healthier mind, but also a healthier body.
Major life changes such as moving house, divorce, changing job, bereavement or even going on holiday have been listed as stress-triggering events and will affect each of us differently.
Taking Responsibility: Inspiration from Animal Rescuers
It's always nice to receive a little bit of inspiration and we witnessed this recently when my daughter advertised some old wood free to any takers. A day or two later two lovely ladies arrived in their van to take it away for her and naturally we were curious to know what they'd use it for.
In the course of conversation we learnt that they would chop it all up for firewood to heat their tumbledown cottage which was miles from any amenities. They had chosen to live there because of the surrounding land which was used to host rescued animals.
COVID-19 Anxiety and Hypnotherapy
COVID-19, an unprecedented global pandemic, has had an enormous effect on virtually everybody’s life. From people not being able to see their family and friends or to be able to go out to the pub or restaurants, to children unable to attend school.
It has caused us to worry about our health, our jobs and our future. We find our lives changing daily and constant media cover can leave us feeling anxious and depressed.
Although we need to keep up-to-date with the latest news, watching too much can have an adverse effect on us and our mental health.
COVID-19 Update
We have been following news of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus around the world with concern, and are keen to limit the spread of the virus to protect those most vulnerable.
The safety and wellbeing of our customers, course students and tutors is our priority, and we have been consulting with Hypnotic World's tutors and students to decide the most effective steps to take in response to the outbreak at this time.
In line with government guidance that people should begin practising social distancing (learn more) in an effort to combat the spread of the coronavirus, we can confirm the following changes to our training schedules for the duration of the pandemic:
Hypnobirthing & Pain Management Workshop
Many hospitals and clinicians now recognise the benefits of using hypnotherapy to help patients suffering from chronic pain and its accompanying anxiety and have long sought the help of professional hypnotherapists to teach them their methods.
This hypnotherapy training day forms part of Hypnotic World's Practitioner Diploma Course and a limited number of places are now open all students of hypnosis.
The training day is brought to you by an experienced hypnotherapy trainer, Sally Benson, who will teach students to:
Hypnosis and Cancer
Medical research on Hypnosis :
Clients suffering from cancer have a variety of psychological and medical needs. They experience challenging emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger, feelings of hopelessness and low self-esteem. The side effects of chemotherapy are also extremely difficult; they have to get through the pain, the nausea, the loss of appetite. Hypnosis can have a positive impact on these symptoms and provide the clients with a sense of hope and relief.
Recent medical research is beginning to uncover the effectiveness of hypnosis as a powerful tool in managing stress, anxiety, pain, side effects of cancer. Indeed Hypnosis can help creating new coping mechanisms and stimulating the healing process.

Hypnotherapy Course Comparison
With a plethora of hypnotherapy courses available, choosing the training path that meets your individual and professional needs can be a challenge. We want you to feel confident in selecting the training option that will most effectively help you to achieve your goals as a new therapist.
Choosing a Course
When making a commitment to hypnotherapy training, students make an investment of time, energy and fees in their chosen course.
Therefore, it is essential that prospective students learn hypnotherapy with an established and respected training school dedicated to fostering therapists who are knowledgeable and capable, and who are empathetic to their clients’ needs.
Backup Strategies using the Safe Place Method
At a recent training session, students were learning how to use ideomotor signals on each other.ÂÂ
Most new hypnotherapists worry that their client won’t respond to the signal request however our students, being interested in hypnotherapy and already knowing quite a bit about the subject, responded well.
The interesting part of the session came when Paul (name changed) was using this technique with Rebecca.
Having established the finger signals he decided to take Rebecca to a special place and asked her subconscious mind to bring forward a memory of a time when she felt really happy.
The Importance of a Consultation in Hypnotherapy
Giving a consultation to a new client is as important as the therapy itself. You need to know what and who you are treating. The initial contact that you have from a potential client is often via text, social media, telephone call or email. Occasionally they will visit you in person. You can ask specific and important information at this point and also why they wish to see you. However, don't use this information instead of giving a full consultation.
Why give a consultation?
Building Rapport in Your Therapy Sessions
Rapport in hypnotherapy
In engaging with someone in hypnotherapy, you must earn your client’s trust. Without trust there is no relationship. Without trust a person will not to let themselves be led into a trance and the therapeutic intention cannot be achieved. The client will leave dissatisfied and the therapist will feel deskilled.
Achieving rapport is central to any therapeutic relationship but is even more central to the practice of hypnotherapy.
