Hypnosis withkidsby Rob McNeilly

I love using hypnosis with kids; they are so open andwilling to play. They haven’t yet learnt that they should beproper, logical, and sensible like us adults, so they caneasily engage in imagined experiences and as a result,create their own unique and lasting solutions. Manypeople are wary of these little creatures for some reasonand I’d love to interest more people who use hypnosis intheir practice to include children.

A nine year old girl had been having night terrors for threemonths, after watching the horror movie “Jaws”. Shewould wake from dreaming that sharks were going toattack her and retreat to her parents’ bed every night.

I asked her what she liked doing. She had been readingHarry Potter. I then invited her to play a game with herimagination, and she readily agreed. Could she imaginethat she was Harry Potter’s sister, and so was also awizard, not a muggle? She liked the idea and easilyresponded to my next invitation to take out her wand andmake a spell that would protect her from the sharks.

She smiled broadly and reported that she had surroundedherself with a white light. When I doubted that as beingeffective, she told me that she was bringing the sharks into test it, that they were getting frustrated because theycouldn’t bite through the light, and now they were gettingbored and swimming away.

I cautioned her about a future situation where if she wasswimming and there was a real shark, she should get outof the water and not surround herself with a bright light.Very condescendingly she said “I know!” The wholeconversation lasted less than ten minutes, but after ourbrief conversation, she had no further night terrors.

An eleven year old girl had been terrified of dogs for aslong as she could remember. We spoke about a bookshe was enjoying reading, “Pigs Might Fly” where a girlwas lost in the “wrong land” and was going to find herway back home. She also told me she liked learning

about fractions at school and also running, where shestarted out slowly, continued at her own pace and feltgood to get to the finishing line without any competition.

As with every child I’ve met, she was very willing to joinme in an imagined game, where we could write a storytogether. In this imagined story, we created somethingparalleling her book, and in our story, a little girl could findherself in the “wrong land” where she was frightened ofdogs, and when she found her way back home, she wouldmeet a dog, and like it.

I also spoke to this little girl about starting her journey backhome slowly, and continuing at her own pace and lookingforward to getting home without any competition. I askedher to tell me when she was 1/2 way home, then 3/4 then7/8 [connecting with her liking of fractions] and to let meknow when she was home safely. After a few minutes ofsilence, she let me know she was home, and we had alovely time getting to know the dog that was waiting forher and that she liked.

She then opened her eyes, said she felt fine and knewthat something had changed for her. I cautioned her aboutliking dogs too much so that her mother might need tobring her back to me so she could have some of herproblem back because she was collecting dogs, andalready had 14 or so.

She reassured me that this would not be a problem andwithin 3 months had her own dog. I was in contact withher 10 years later, and she still had the same dog, andenjoyed meeting other dogs.

If only our adult clients were so responsive!

Changing yourThoughts!– How CBT’s speedand simplicitymakes it popularwith clients andmedics

For some time, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) hasbeen the therapy that GP’s most often refer their patients tofor help with emotional, behavioural or psychological issues.NICE (The National Institute for Health & Care Excellence)recommends CBT for almost all mental health issues. Thisis because CBT is a brief therapy, is evidence-based andhas proved better results-wise than longer term counsellingand psychotherapy. Whilst hypnotherapy (which is alsodescribed as a brief therapy) has been recommended byNICE for certain conditions, the NHS does not usually havethe resources to offer this therapy.

Whilst the CBT approach is quite different from suggestionhypnotherapy, it can work very well in conjunction withhypnotherapeutic approaches. Some hypnotherapydiploma courses (such as those offered by UKCCH schools)include Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) in theirtraining, but many do not. Clients who are lookingspecifically for CBT (possibly because of long waiting listson the NHS) will search online for alternatives in the privatesector.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be very beneficial inbreaking up dysfunctional belief patterns and old, unwantedhabits. It can help clients develop better coping skills andtechniques that they can use both in the present and thefuture. This leads to them creating new and better habitsgoing forward. CBT is particularly helpful where clientsdemonstrate catastrophic and dichotomous (black andwhite) thinking and other manifestations of anxiety.

Some therapists (unaware of how flexible one can be withCBT) believe that it’s all about form-filling and task work.Whilst forms and tasks will be involved in a course oftherapy, it’s the creativity and imagination of the therapistthat makes the real difference to the client’s experience. Justas you can find hypnotherapists who pick a standard scriptfor anxiety or a standard script for nail-biting, so you can findCBT therapists who are rigid, lazy or lack the confidence tovary their approach. For the best results, every practitionerneeds to adapt their sessions and choose self-helpassignments to suit the individual as well as the disordersthey present with.

Practitioners who combine hypnotherapy with other talkingtherapies, tell me they enjoy the flexibility that being qualified

in a number of therapies affords. Some have reported thatthey’ve not only increased their confidence and skills-base,but expanded their client-base too. CBT is not a cure-all; it’snot the perfect therapeutic approach for everything andeveryone, but it has appeal, not only within the NHS, butalso to clients seeking rapid help for a problem.

David Kato is a clinical hypnotherapist, behavioural therapistand psychoanalyst and he uses CBT and hypnotherapy inhis Bristol clinic. Specialising in depression and anxiety,David has recorded very satisfactory outcomes with hispatients over the last 20 years and believes that solutionfocused hypnotherapy and CBT work very well, bothtogether and separately.

In 1998 David, a pioneer for CBT training in the UK produceda two day CBT diploma course which he continues to teachboth here and in the US. It’s a comprehensive practitionercourse which combines theoretical knowledge and practicaltechniques and is specifically designed for qualifiedhypnotherapists and mental health professionals. It’s anintensive, interactive course suitable for therapists with anunderstanding of conditions such as depression, anxiety,OCD and panic disorders. Through tutor instruction, thediscussion of case studies and the consideration ofscenarios, attendees working in small groups learn tounderstand how, why and when to use CBT. In order toqualify as a CBT therapist, an online exam needs to becompleted soon after the course attendance.

David Kato is presenting his interactive CBT DiplomaCourse at The London Hypnotherapy Academy onSaturday and Sunday 19th and 20th September 2015.The attendance fee is £395 (for NCH and APHPmembers) and £450 for non-members (See CPD sectionbelow)

CouldCoachingTransformYourHypnotherapyPractice?by Annabel Roberts

Coaching has long been employed to improveperformance in professional sport and in business, but isnow appealing to a much wider audience. I believe this isbecause it’s such an effective method to get real results.Coaching and therapy have often been viewed as distinctand different, but there are a number ways you cansuccessfully integrate coaching into your hypnotherapypractice to get even better results for your clients.

David Kato

Having been a coach for some time before qualifyingas a hypnotherapist, I appreciate the value of bothapproaches and I use coaching techniques in manysituations and with a range of clients. The real benefitof coaching is the future focus and it sits really well withsolution focussed methods of therapy. Coaching isespecially effective alongside hypnotherapy with clientswho want to lose weight or improve their performancein sports, public speaking etc. It is also works well withthose presenting with stress issues, where agreementto self care routines is important or indeed in anysituation when commitment to action between therapysessions is beneficial.

The most commonly known coaching methodology isthe GROW model. Whilst being simple to use, it takessome practice to become fluent and to develop a styleof questioning which feels comfortable.

G is for Goal. These are really useful to think about aspart of the client induction session. In coaching wespend a lot of time working through our client’s goals;making it clear and exciting to ensure they aremotivated and really appreciate what success is goingto be like for them. Getting clients to frame a clear goalkeeps focus and provides something to come back toshould times get a bit tough.

R is for Reality. In coaching this is aroundunderstanding what the client has tried in the past andanalysing which strategies have been successful andwhich have not worked. Again this element is reallyuseful in the induction session, but also provides auseful check as sessions progress.

O is for Options. This is about opening the client up tonew ideas and alternatives that they may not haveconsidered before. It is always better that the client isencouraged to come up with the options to avoid themfeeling that the coach is imposing them. When theyhave run out of ideas, I ask them to think of anotherfive! It really stretches them to consider all thepossibilities. This works really well with weight lossclients who may be considering types of exercise.

W is for Will. This is about getting the client’scommitment to the actions that they have chosen totake. I ask them to scale from 1 – 10 how likely they areto do the action agreed. If it is anything less than an 8then it is worth revisiting to find out why it is low andwhat can be done to make the commitment higher.

The Goal and Reality elements of GROW, sit mostcomfortably during initial client intake sessions or whereit is necessary to review results if they are getting stuck.The real value of coaching with hypnotherapy clientscomes with the Options and Will elements. These can

be used in every session and especially where they arecommitting to taking action between sessions, such asdoing 30 minutes exercise per day or practising a skill.

The real art in coaching is in the questioning;developing powerful questions to challenge but also toencourage clients. Questions need to be open; usinghow, what, why, when and where. It’s also important toconsider their representational systems (VAK)especially when establishing goals; are they Visual,Auditory or Kinaesthetic? Finally, it’s essential thatclients write down the actions that they have agreed toensure that they ‘own’ these actions. If you find thatsome of your hypnotherapy clients are failing to takeresponsibility for their own change process or simplyexpect you to ‘fix’ or ‘re-programme’ them, thenlearning some classic coaching techniques may helpyou to help them.

To find out more about coaching and how you canuse it to benefit your practice or for some practicein developing empowering questioning techniquescome along to the CPD Event on Saturday 11th Julyor Saturday 31st October in Wimbledon.

One Mind –One Body,using hypnotictechniques forneurologicaldisordersby Dr Nick Wright

Neurological disorders are diseases of the centraland peripheral nervous system. In other words, thebrain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves,nerve roots, autonomic nervous system,neuromuscular junction, and muscles. Together theycontrol all the workings of the body. When somethinggoes wrong with a part of your nervous system, youcan have trouble moving, speaking, swallowing,breathing or learning. You can also have problemswith your memory, senses or mood.

These disorders include Epilepsy, Alzheimer diseaseand other dementias, cerebrovascular diseasesincluding stroke, migraine and other headachedisorders, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease,Dystonia, Bell’s Palsy, Essential Tremor, neuroinfections, brain tumours, traumatic disorders of the

nervous system such as brain trauma, andneurological disorders as a result of malnutrition.

There are over 600 known neurological disorders andconditions that affect the human nervous system andfor many of them treatment options are extremelylimited. In addition to the physical and mental tollthese conditions take on patients, their families andcarers, they also have an enormous economicimpact, resulting in millions of pounds annually inlost productivity.

The Mind-Body Connection, once a very controversialconcept, is now widely accepted, as is the fact thatthe mind and the body should be treated as thewhole. Mind-body medicine focuses on treatmentsthat may promote health and wellbeing.

As hypnotherapists we are well placed and have aunique opportunity to offer help in a number of theseconditions. Not only in helping with the stress, lackof confidence and self-esteem that results, both inthe patient and also their immediate family, but alsoin helping the patient to regain some control over thecondition itself. Disorders such as Parkinson’sdisease, Dystonia, Bell’s Palsy, Essential Tremor, toname but a few, are well within our reach.

Therapists who have an understanding of both thiscondition and the Mind-Body Connection, can learnhow to push the boundaries and cross over into theworld of Medical Hypnosis, which is an underutilisedtherapeutic modality, and by doing so can expandtheir practice into this extremely interesting andsatisfying field.

One Mind, One Body … an integrated approach toneurological disorders’ will give you the necessaryknowledge and skills to confidently offer effectivehelp to clients with these conditions. Those skills willinclude a thorough understanding of the conditionstogether with the treatment protocols, plus anintroduction into the world of the Psycho-sensoryTherapies appropriate to these conditions, essentialtools for these and many other conditions.

Dr Nick Wright is running a CPD event ‘One Mind,One Body … an integrated approach toneurological disorders’ at Central England Collegeon Saturday 28th November 2015 and at LondonHypnotherapy Academy in SW London onSaturday 23rd January 2016. The attendance feeis £120 (for NCH & APHP members) and £150 fornon-members. (See the CPD listing below fordetails.)

Practice BuildingPostbag– A new service for readersby Nick Cooke

Starting with this issue we’re introducing a new regularservice to readers, answering your questions in respect ofbusiness success – including: setting up their practice,looking after the formalities, finding clients, websitematters, off-line marketing and much, much more. It’sentirely up to you!

I’ve asked Lorraine McReight of Therapy Business Success(TBS) to give you her answers, or those of her colleagues.Lorraine is a practice-building tutor and writer as well as ahypnotherapist and trainer – principal of LondonHypnotherapy Academy. Lorraine has recently beenelected a director of The National Council forHypnotherapy,witharesponsibilityformember’sdevelopment.For information on TBS workshops and Bootcamps seewww.therapybusinesssuccess.co.uk

The questions answered in each issue will be selected fromthose sent in by you, so please let us have your questionsaddressed to editor@hypnoversity.org.uk

Lorraine’s first response is to a question I am often askedin supervision sessions.

How can I best market my practice on a limitedbudget?

Most therapists when they start out, don’t want to spendtoo much (or anything) on advertising and marketing andthese days you can promote your practice on a smallbudget. In the past, when print advertising such as YellowPages dominated, small businesses were at a distinctdisadvantage. Now it’s a more even playing field. If youdon’t want to spend money however, you have to investtime. Social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitteris free, but time and effort needs to be spent planning astrategy, building connections and posting articles orcomments that will interest followers. Blogs too can be agood way of communicating what you do, but they needto be found. In both cases, focusing on what your potentialclient needs – a solution to their problem – rather thanbanging on about yourself or your therapy is essential. Freetalks to groups who may want your service require limitedinvestment, but you need to consider your venue andaudience. If you are renting a room in a health club, youcould arrange to give a talk on hypnotherapy for weight

control. If you are a member of a school PTA, you couldgive a talk on stress management or hypnosis for children.You could also consider collaborative working; maybe witha personal trainer or a therapist with whom you’re not incompetition. You might want to try face to face networking.Some groups require financial as well as time commitment,but there are free networking groups that you can getinvolved in. If you decide to try this route you need to attendregularly in order to build relationships. Remember too,that they need to be a ‘win-win’. Don’t start with tellingpeople what you do or what you can do for them; insteadenquire about them, what they do, and how you can helpthem. In the pub no-one likes to be in the company ofsomeone who talks about themselves all the time, andnetworking is just the same. There are many ways topromote your business for free, so get creative and getstarted. Good luck!

GettingStarted!– how I built up mypracticeby BirminghamhypnotherapistJan Tween

Like a number of people I know in our profession, myprevious working life was totally different from the oneI am thoroughly enjoying now. The catalyst for changecame from my own therapist who worked out of theCentral England College in Birmingham. My confidenceand self-esteem was on the floor but it wasn’t longbefore she got to the root of my problem and startedto help me get my life back. I was in total awe of howsomeone could change someone else’s life in such ashort length of time, so much so that I thought could Ido the same? Encouraged by my therapist I enrolledwith the Central England College on its ProfessionalPractitioner Programme. With every training day Iundertook, I gained more confidence but it was onlywhen I started to begin my case studies that I realisedhow important it was to ‘just do it’ in a non-classroomenvironment.

Looking back I cringe at some of the mistakes I madewith my non-paying ‘clients’ when practicing my newfound skills, I wondered if I would ever be good enoughto help anyone. As the last case study was completedthe realisation hit me that I was a step closer to

embarking on a new career. What a daunting butequally exciting prospect! It was time to put intopractice all the information given to me on the courseabout setting up your own business. So, first thing,where do I practice from? This wasn’t such a difficultdecision for me as I had already put in place plans tobuild a separate studio in my garden in which to seemy new clients. But where do you get these client’sfrom? Every business needs a presence on the internetso I worked hard to develop a website with a colleaguewhich was both professional looking without lookingtoo austere and business like but also not wishy washy!

But it wasn’t as simple as that. I found that just havinga website doesn’t automatically mean clients will findyou. How could I get my name out there in this sea ofhypnotherapists? I consulted some colleagues who hadbeen practising for a while and they advised me to signup to the NCH website, advertise on a couple ofdirectories, join the CNHC and try the local magazines.All this I did, as well as advertise in the local leisurecentre. I had a steady stream of clients coming my waybut nothing that gave me a satisfactory income. ThenI found Google Adwords and this changed everythingfor me, prospective clients were able to find my servicesin an instant. This is my main form of advertising nowalthough clients through word of mouth is steadilycatching it up. My advice to any newly qualifiedtherapists is to keep at it, there is no substitute forexperience and don’t be disheartened if new clientsaren’t flocking to your door as soon as you begin tostart advertising, it takes time and believe me, it is worththe wait.

PainbustingStrategies– with Hypnosis andMindfulness

by Nick Cooke

Hypnosis is not magic but the results of it cansometimes seem quite magical. One of the areas wherehypnosis, along with mindfulness can appear quitemagical, is in pain reduction. It’s a somewhatcontroversial area and one where ethical considerationsare paramount. Pain is a message that all is not well inour bodies and it must be medically diagnosed beforewe know whether it is safe for us to work with a clientwho is experiencing pain.

Let’s take a look at some of the great ways that we canhelp people to make amazing changes:

Self-hypnosisMy way of working is to teach my clients to doeverything that we do in the sessions, including takingthemselves into hypnosis. One of the simplest ways ofteaching self-hypnosis is to make an audio recordingfor the client to listen to, or get them to make their ownrecording on their smart phone. We just need toemphasise safety in them only listening when they aresomewhere safe and certainly not in a moving vehicle!The same applies with mindfulness sessions.

Creative visualisationOne of the golden rules of psychology is that we tendto get more of whatever we think about, although I haveto say that the red Porsche 911 has, rather stubbornly,still not materialised in my driveway despite, over theyears, my nightly dreams! It’s all too easy to let ourfocus rest in what we don’t want, rather than what wedo want, especially if what we don’t want is chronicpain. If possible we should teach our clients to imaginethemselves healthy and pain free, perhaps seeingthemselves enjoying activities that they have beenunable to do recently and moving easily etc.

Changing submodalitiesOur sub-modalities are the distinctions within each ofour sensory representational systems. For examplewhen we feel pain, what is that feeling like and whereis it felt? What colour, shape, texture and size is it? Isit moving or still? Supposing our client were toexperiment in making mental changes to theserepresentations – for example if they imagine their painas being red and needle shaped, what would happenif they were to mentally change it pastel blue and witha flexible lozenge shape and texture? Suppose theywere also to change it to a smaller size?

Some clients will, of course, find it a challenge toaccept this and may say, ‘Oh this is just imagination!’– well of course they are right, but as I point out to them,our imagination is a very powerful force which often canbe negative, but which we can harness in a verywonderful, positive and beneficial way

Drawing / paintingI have learned how mindfulness of art, particularly ofpainting and drawing can be beneficial in helping toreduce pain. Simply by allowing ourselves to beabsorbed in beautiful art can help; particularly if the artrepresents, in some way, a peaceful, healing image. Itcan be even more beneficial if we ask our client to paintor draw (A) themselves with their pain, (B) their healingprocess taking place, and (C) being free from pain.

Miraculously even just doing the drawings seems tohelp. Visualising the progression of the drawings canbe far more powerful.

Pain dialImagining some sort of dial / control, to turn down pain,can be very effective. In the interests of safety I oftenask clients not to turn the pain right down but todeliberately leave a tiny, and bearable amount, just toremind them that it is under their control and they canturn it up or down. Some clients prefer a sliding controlon their arm to a circular dial. Leave the imagery tothem.

Golden/ white healing lightThere are many scripts for this, including one in theCEC training material and the idea is simply for theclient to imagine allowing a stream of healing, soothinglight or energy to enter their body. Leave the detail ofthe imagery with the client. This can also be the basisof a wonderful intervention for cancer patients, tosupport chemotherapy.

Dealing with the emotionsThe negative emotions associated with pain can bevery difficult to deal with and I sometimes usemindfulness as an aid to being fully aware of theconnection between the emotion and the physical pain.Vidyamala Burch’s wonderful book, ‘Mindfulness forHealth’. I have ‘borrowed’ and adapted hercompassionate acceptance process which encouragesus to breathe into, rather than resist, or move away frompain. We don’t try to change anything and the pain andassociated emotion starts to diminish.

Don’t try too hardOne of the challenges of dealing with pain through amind /body approach is the temptation of clients towork so hard on it that two things can happen. Firstlythey may burn themselves out emotionally andphysically with the effort. Secondly, even if they keepgoing, sometimes working so hard can be counter-productive and allowing a more relaxed approach maybe helpful.
