If you are looking toward the New Year with excitement about what seems like a perfect time for a fresh start, it’s a good idea to take this time to reflect inwardly as well.

Anyone who makes resolutions looks at increasing their success. Are there issues in your life that are preventing you from succeeding? Even if you’re functioning, there may be things going on with you that you could use help with. These things might be impacting your ability to relax, to plan, to focus and they may be plaguing your conscience as well. Hypnotherapy can help. In 2010, why not invest in yourself and your happiness? You can do so through a one on one session either in person or via phone or Skype or you could download a self help recording that helps you address one or more areas in your life.

Hypnotherapy or NLP (neuro linguistic programming) can help with many different issues. A few examples include:

Compulsive Hair Pulling

Some people who pull their hair don’t even realise they’re doing it. They’ll often do it when they’re stressed out or upset. Hypnotherapy can help you change behavioural triggers that may cause you to do this. Many people with trichotillomania are able to overcome this problem in just a few short sessions of hypnotherapy.

Phobias

Is something in your life causing you so much fear that it paralyzes you when you’re faced with it? Phobias may seem extreme to some but to the person experiencing it, the fear is all-consuming. NLP can help you change your reaction to specific scenarios so that you don’t overreact. You can find out why you’re phobic and slowly overcome the fear.

Bad Habits

A lot of our bad habits happen unconsciously, much like trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling), can happen unconsciously as a reaction. Re-training your thoughts and your behaviours can help you overcome bad habits.

Panic Attacks

It’s a stressful world out there and panic is problematic for more people than ever. Many experience panic attacks on a regular basis. What are signs of a panic attack? If you experience symptoms such as: heart palpitations, rapid breathing, shaking, and terror in certain situations, you may suffer from panic disorder. Counselling and hypnotherapy can help and it can often be overcome in just a few short sessions.

Overall Self-Improvement

Some people who seek a NLP therapist or hypnotherapist start off trying to overcome a specific fear, phobia, or behaviour and once they have success with it, they keep using it to help them with other areas in their life as well. Improve your self-confidence, be more organised, get more physically fit, overcome shyness, etc. The great thing about NLP and hypnotherapy is that you can approach it in several different ways, finding a method of treatment that suits your schedule and your lifestyle, such as: through downloadable recordings, one on one in-person counselling, or via phone or web-based therapy as well.

Here is a typical scenario: every day you wake up you read the affirmations. Every night before you go to bed you read them. You are conscientious and don’t skip a day.

But a few weeks go by and one day you wake up and notice that NOTHING has changed. You are your same old self. You have the same old job. Those same old habits control you. You notice that reading and writing those affirmations didn’t make a darn bit of difference.

WHY SHOULD I BOTHER WITH AFFIRMATIONS?

Affirmations are great. But most affirmations fail miserably. Why? Because they usually are SOMEONE else’s affirmations.

As a National Guild of Hypnotist Certified Instructor, I teach Affirmations to all of my Hypnosis Students. It’s important that every one of our clients reinforce the habit changes they desire. Clients come to us for Hypnosis and learn that Hypnosis is not a “magic pill”, though it does seem this way. Clients learn that reinforcement is a key component to personal success.

A good hypnotist does his or her job. And then you, as a client, must follow through and do your by reinforcing your desired results with a custom affirmation designed just for you.

IF IT WORKED FOR HIM, IT WILL WORK FOR ME

Affirmations are an important part of positive change. You’ll get a lot more bang for your buck if you learn how to create your own. Your personal affirmation will be accepted by your subconscious mind much more easily than someone else’s.

Take a few moments right now and quickly imagine the perfect dinner for yourself. Choose the main dish, the accompaniments, the beverage, the dessert. Take a moment and imagine it just the way you would love it to be.

Then briefly answer these questions: TRUE FALSE

1. Is the main course appealing?
2. Is the dessert a favorite of yours?
3. Will you enjoy eating it?

Of course the answers to all of these questions are TRUE!

Now…imagine you are invited to a friend’s home for dinner. She has promised you an exquisite dinner with wonderful food. As you are being served you notice that it is definitely a lovely dinner. Beautifully prepared and plated in a lovely manner. Is it your perfect dinner? Probably not. But it is her perfect dinner.

When you use someone else’s affirmations, well, then it’s just like eating someone else’s perfect dinner. It may taste good. But it’s not perfect for you.

For the most part stuff turned out really well. We had a few set backs as they were to be expected, but nothing major. By the end of that week Taylor and I had completed our first Hypnosis Training product. It felt amazing, really amazing to take all the knowledge and experience in both of our heads and put them on film for the world to see.

Sometimes Things Don’t Go As Planned

Our goal in the beginning was to release the product within about a month or two after completing filming, but that just never happened. It wasn’t because we weren’t working on it or anything of that natural, but we had a setbacks with things such as editing, production and other issues related to the creation of the product.

Let me tell you this, if you think creating a product is easy then you haven’t really created a product. Digital products aren’t so bad, but creating a physical product takes a lot more work and requires a much steeper learning curve. We really didn’t want to come out of the gate with a digital product. There is nothing wrong with them, but for the most part people associate more value with a physical product. Plus, there is nothing like looking in your mailbox and seeing something you just ordered arrive. For the most part people love to receive packages. Heck, I know I do

Another thing that sort of held us up is we kept finding little things wrong with product and improving them. Taylor and I are both big believers in credibility. We both have business backgrounds and they have trained us to put your best foot forward. I mean, if you create a crappy product you will forever be associated with that crappy product. Your name is on the cover and that is not a good way to build credibility.

When we decided to create this product we knew we were going to put everything we had into this project. We paid attention to all the little details. Stuff most people wouldn’t care about, but at the end of the day even if people didn’t like the information presented in our product they couldn’t say we didn’t put a lot of time and effort into this product. Plus, on top of all of this was we wanted to create something that our customers would love. Hell, if you paying your hard earned money you should get some actual value out of the course. Nothing worse then buying these $40.00 e-books which sell big, but deliver small.

After months of working we finally completed the project. What a great feeling to hold something in your hand that you created. This project took almost an entire year to complete, but in the end the result was worth it to us. So with a completed product in hand  we moved on with our plans.

A Early Success, But Is It Enough?

I don’t have time to go into the story behind why we created this product, but you’re receive that answer soon enough. All you need to know at this second is that we were encouraged to create this product so we decided to offer this product to this group of people first. Taylor and I have a social networking site for anyone who enjoys Hypnosis, NLP and Personal Development called FreeHypnosisCommunity.com which we created a few months ago. So we decided to do a test launch just for the people involved in this network. We thought we would do average as this isn’t some cheap $20.00 product, but the end results were really amazing and quite shocking.

We sold more copies then we had ordered from our production company. In was a nice feeling to know people wanted something we put so much work into. So the orders went out and we received some really great feedback. The launch was quite successful and we honestly thought of just releasing it to the rest of the world, but after some carefully consideration we decided to wait. I know, more waiting…what could be better then that? I say that with tongue in cheek obviously. We decided we needed to provide even more value and that is what we did. We didn’t redo the course, but we did make a few slight modification.

It’s Time To Think Outside The Box

We finished making the changes and still thought to ourselves, how can we be different? How can we take the values that make us who we are and share them with the world. Taylor and I are both experts in online marketing and were going to do the usually. We were going to create a website, create a really long sales letter and place it on the internet. I know, it doesn’t seem like much but I promise you this method works quite well. Still, we felt our product deserved better then just some long sales page. I mean, this product is the collective knowledge of Taylor and me which we have worked on for a almost a year. This was more then a product to us. This was more then just another way to make money. This training product was like our baby in a strange way.

Take a moment and think about something in your life you worked really hard for. Maybe completing school or opening up your first practice or business. Heck, maybe even learning to drive. Can you remember those emotions? Those feelings of joy and happiness. Maybe I sound crazy, but this product contains my heart and soul. I can only hope if you are reading this post and decide to create your own product you care for it and put everything you have into it instead of just treating in as another way to make money.  A product is an extension of yourself, simple and true.

So with all of that being said Taylor and me put our brains together and after a few weeks of going back and forth we finally knew how we would bring our product into this world.

TRANCED OUT Has Arrived

So, as you can tell from the title of this blog post and the story I’ve just told we are finally releasing our first product to the world called TRANCED OUT: The World’s First Instant & Rapid Inductions Home Study Course. That’s a pretty bold claim I know. We did the research and while there are a few DVDs out on the market, mainly from a few of our friends, but there wasn’t a COMPLETE Home Study Course on the subject.

This isn’t some let me just show you a couple of inductions and be done with you project. We take you beneath the surface of Instant and Rapid Inductions and share information that has never been talked about before. We can say this with confidence because we own pretty much every course on this subject. It’s not only important to learn the techniques, but even more important to learn why the techniques work in the first place. To learn the concepts, theories and processes that go on behind the scenes before the inductions ever take place.

Have you ever attempted a Instant and Rapid Induction and failed and wondered why? Did you do everything the course told you? It’s not enough to know how to do the induction, but you need to know why the inductions work and what goes on under conscious awareness.

To be an expert at something, to be a master of something you need to understand these concepts and techniques on an unconscious level before you can become completely successful with them on a conscious level. This is what our goal is for TRANCED OUT. We take you from the beginning to the end and then we even support you after the fact because a lot of people just need a little more support after the fact and we provide with TRANCED OUT. In the beginning we set out to make this one or two DVDs, but the end result was a total of 5 DVD’s.

TRANCED OUT is 5 DVDs, 2 Perfect Bound Manuals and a ton of bonuses from some of the biggest names in Hypnosis such as Adam Eason, Richard Nongard, Sean Michael Andrews, Reg Blackwood, Nathan Thomas & many more.

We Just Want To Provide A Lot Of Value

There will be no long sales letters, no hard sales pitches where we try and force you to purchase the product. We want to do something the Hypnosis World has never seen before and that is what we are doing with the release of our product.

We have decided to create a special product launch blog to celebrate the release of TRANCED OUT. This special blog is available NOW and will NOT offer you anything to buy. What you will get is a informative Welcome Video that will explain everything and more and from then on we will be posting a high quality, high value video or piece of content every single day for 2 weeks straight until the actually release date of TRANCED OUT which will be Jan 29th at 3pm eastern standard time.

http://www.hypnoticinductionsblog.com

The videos that we be getting posted are so good we could have packaged them together and sold them. These are actual videos you can watch and then immendiately go out and apply what you learned in the videos. On top of all of this we will actually be giving away a few copies of our Home Study Course completed free. Oh and to top all of this off we are giving away a special, nearly two hour long audio lesson on Troubleshooting Instant and Rapid Inductions which is available on the blog right now.

http://www.hypnoticinductionsblog.com

Why would we just give away a ton and I do mean a ton of free content? Simple. We want you to see the type of value we provide and how committed we are to releasing a quality product that actually benefits those who purchase it. Once again, this special Hypnosis Induction Blog is live right now.

As you will see we’ll put a lot of time, money and effort into this project and we think the results will speak for themselves. So if you love free stuff and even better, if you love high quality, high value free stuff then click the link below to get instant access to our special product launch blog.

Hi Everyone,

So what is the most important skill a Hypnotist can have in their possession? Is It the newest technique? Is it the ability to perform instant and rapid inductions? Is it knowing the exactly what to say?

None of the above is the correct answer. So what is the mystery skill that every Hypnotist needs to have? Well, if you are paying attention and if you noticed the title of this post then the correct answer would be…Confident!

Without a doubt confidence is the number one skill every Hypnotist needs. So why is confidence so important? First off, let’s look at what Hypnosis is exactly. Hypnosis is nothing more then the subconscious communication between your clients subconscious and your subconscious. Yes, I know this isn’t the technical definition of Hypnosis, but just follow me for a moment.

Are You Confident In Your Ability?

People have the ability to pick up little cues which we can’t notice on the conscious level, but the subconscious can. When you are hypnotizing someone you must project confidence or the other person’s subconscious will not allow you to communicate with that person on the same level as someone who projects confidence. When you are confident you come off as the expert, the guy who knows what he is doing.  This communicates a lot on a unconscious level to the other person.

Think about this for a moment. Would you let a doctor who didn’t seem “Confident” operate on you? Would you let someone teach you to drive if they don’t seem “confident” they can drive? The truth of the matter is that people feel comfortable and are attracted to people who are confident. Now in terms of Hypnosis would you really let a Hypnotist hypnotize you if they don’t seem confident?

Ok, Ok…I think you got the point here. Confidence is critically to your success. Still, something has always bothered me as a Hypnotist and a Hypnosis Instructor. If confidence is so important then how come almost 90 percent of the Hypnosis Schools and Training completely leave this subject untouched. They teach you techniques, inductions, scripts and none of this matters because without having the confidence to apply what you learn and the ability to sub communicate confident you will NEVER be an effective Hypnotist.

Personally I think I know why this skill is rarely touched on by most Hypnosis Schools and Training. It’s one thing to tell a person to be confident and project confidence, but the real question is how do you teach someone to become confident inside and project it outward step by step? I mean, what exactly does “you have to be more confident” mean really? I have yet to find a course or product that actually teaches Hypnotist in a step by step system how to become more confident.

Yes…we have self hypnosis CDs and personal development books on the subject but none of them ever give you the ‘Big Picture’ of it all. Well, after years of waiting someone has finally stepped up to the plate and created the product that Hypnotist need more then ever  and his name is Nathan Thomas.

The Confident Hypnotist Has Arrived

If your a regular reader of my blog then you know Nathan is a dear friend. I think he is a great Hypnotist and while young he has already proven himself to be part of the elite in my opinion. Nathan has studied with many of the greats as I have and is really wise beyond his years, but his biggest advantage in my opinion is his youth. Nathan is no longer a teenager, but like me he is younger then 30 and this means we have tend to have a different perspective on things. I think this is what allowed Nathan to see the problem that was facing many beginning Hypnotist and even more advanced Hypnotists. His answer to this question is his new digital program called The Confident Hypnotist.

http://www.whatsonmybrain.com/confidence

The Confident Hypnotist Is Nathan’s newest  and final product for a while as he is getting ready to take off and travel and just enjoy the young years for a while. The Confident Hypnotist is a complete digital program which means when you order it you don’t have to wait for anything to be shipped. You get instant access to the information the moment you buy. Don’t you just love technology?

The Confident Hypnotist isn’t one book, one audio file or one video. The course consist of Mulitple PDF’s, Audio Files, Videos and Transcripts. Each piece of content is designed to help you gain a solid foundation of what confident is, how to apply it and move you forward.

I actually got access to the course a few weeks ago and I must say it’s a breath of fresh air. Why? Well, this project discusses a subject that is rarely touched on in the hypnosis world. It’s nice to check out a project that isn’t about weight loss, self hypnosis or stop smoking.  It’s a fresh perspective which is much needed in the world of Hypnotism. Another nice benefit of this product is that it actually provides value to the customer. Confidence is something all Hypnotist need to know if they want to be successful. This is something you can apply to your personal & professional life.

Another nice feature that some may not pick up upon is that Nathan combined the teachings of both NLP and Hypnosis to tackle this subject. Nathan is smart enough to understand that the teachings of Hypnosis provide benefit to the subject of building confidence, but it’s not the sole expert on the subject. NLP isn’t the sole expert on the subject either, but you combine both of them and you have a pretty powerful combination. So when you get into the main part of the course which is the step by step guide you notice a nice combination of NLP teachings and Hypnosis Teachings.

Now, don’t get scared if you don’t know anything about NLP because I don’t study NLP myself and I was able to figure it all out. I have nothing against NLP, but I have just never gotten around to studying the subject. I know a little bit about it, but a knowledge of it isn’t needed to enjoy this program.

Nathan was also nice enough to include a transcript of all the audio’s and video and this is critical I think. One of the reasons is some people learn better from reading and then some people just like to have a written version of what was said laying around. Nathan does talk a little fast sometimes so you may find the transcripts to be a great resource.

What Included In The Confident Hypnotist Program

As I mentioned above the Confident Hypnotist Program is actually a combination of different pieces of content which create the full course. Here is a small breakdown of each piece of content and a few little things I noticed about each piece of content.

• The Ultimate Confidence Secrets – This is the main meat of the course in my opinion. This would be considered your step by step guide.  It also contains some graphs which I found to be very helpful. So if you purchase the course I would start on this one first.

• The Ultization Audio -I found this to be a really great piece of content and one that actually evolves the program. While the Confident Hypnotist is designed to help you become confident you have to ask yourself what to do after the fact. This audio will help you understand how Ultization can be a powerful tool to have in case something goes wrong. Now, to pull this off you will need confidence so it’s a nice addition to the program. Nathan provides clear cut examples and give you step by step instructions on to fully take advantage of this technique.

• Interview With William May – William May is another good friend of mine and an expert at Conversational Hypnosis. I personally found this to be my favorite part of the program. One reason is because the Interview discusses a massive amount of different topics related to confident. The second reason is because this recording tends to really get you thinking about confidence in a way you may never have thought of. William gets you thinking about the good and the bad and gives a lot of great examples. I would recommend you listen to this audio second after the Ultimate Confidence Secrets

• The Instant Induction Inner Game – This is a very useful power point presentation…especially for newcomers who have had trouble with their first induction. Confidence is highly importance when it comes to Inductions. In reality, the induction really doesn’t exist and the other thing going on is the subconscious communication between you and the other person. I really think a lot of people will find this useful. This doesn’t actually teach you step by step how to do an induction but more of an overall on the processes behind the actual induction.

• Subconscious Confidence – This is a a self hypnosis audio Nathan produced to help install many of the unconscious processes of Confidence. This actually is a nice thing to have because confidence starts on the inside of us and Hypnosis helps us to make changes to our internal beliefs. Nathan has a very calming and relaxing voice which I think you will enjoy. I personally recommend listening to this last, but it can’t hurt you no matter what time you check it out.

• The Transcripts – These are really helpful for those of us that don’t like to listen to audio or just like to have a written resource. As far as I know all the transcript for all the above pieces of content will be available. I’m glad Nathan was able to get these made as he was having some problems with the person making the transcripts in the beginning.

• The Silent Hypnotist – This is a special bonus so I’m not going to keep this under wraps for now, but it’s some really great content you’ll enjoy.

So as  you can see Nathan has included a lot of content in this course. I could go into a lot more detail for each piece of content, but I don’t want to give all the beans away. Each piece of content is great on its own but when combined it makes for one hell of a complete course on becoming confident.  Each piece will build upon the foundation you receive in the main content and by the time your done you’ll have a complete and solid  understanding. Now, understanding is one thing so if you buy this course just make sure you take action on the stuff you learn. Knowledge without action is a waste of time in my opinion.

A Few Problems With The Confident Hypnotist

While I have enjoyed this course I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t give you some of the pitfalls of the course as well. We all know that no course is perfect and to only talk about the good parts isn’t fair to you in my opinion. I believed the better informed you are, the better decisions you make.  So here are a few of the issues to me with Nathan Thomas’s The Confident Hypnotist program.

• Sound Quality – The sound quality of most of the audios is very low and hard to hear in my opinion. You have to turn your speakers up to a decent level to really hear.

• Lack of Instructions – I received an early copy of this program so Nathan may have decided to add this to the program when it is actually released. Since this is a digital product it consist of many different pieces of content. So without instructions on what to listen to, read or watch first you really don’t have any idea where to start. Now most people will figure it out by playing around with the different tracks so it’s not a huge problem. Still…It would have been nice to know which direction the author intended us to take with the program.

As you can tell none of these issues are anything that would stop you from enjoying the program, but they are small issues none the less. Either way we all know content is king and that is what we really care about.

The Conclusion Of The Review

In closing The Confident Hypnotist Is A Really Awesome Program that needed to be created in my opinion. We have so many new Hypnotists coming into our profession lacking the knowledge of this skill. This isn’t just a skill for your Hypnosis career its a skill for your personal life as well.

So many people focus on technique when that isn’t the answer. My business partner and friend Taylor Sherman who is an expert on teaching Confidence as well once told me something that I think applies here. He told me before you can win the game on the outside you have to win the game on the inside. Obviously he is talking about developing your inner confidence.

With all of this being said is Nathan’s Program perfect or the end all for this subject…No, it’s not, but it does give you the tools and resources needed to get where you need to go. You get a complete education on the subject as well as the step by step system to install killer confidence in yourself, but at the end of the day you will still have to take action on the information you learn. If you don’t your just wasting money and time.

I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a happy new year. 2009 is gone and 2010 is here. I personally love the new year as it’s a fresh start for all of us. As Hypnotists we should really love the new year as this is a time where people begin to think about setting goals and personal acheivements they want to achieve.

As Hypnotists we can help them with both of these things. So my advice to you as a friend and fellow Hypnotist is to kick your marketing up a notch and make sure the world knows how you can help them.

Now, I have a question to ask you. Are you a Confident Hypnotist?

A Confident Hypnotist is a Hypnotist that knows without a shadow of doubt the person they are working with is going into trance. There is no fear, no nervousness and no worrying about what techniques work and what techniques don’t. A confident Hypnotist knows they can adjust any technique, at any time and get awesome, fast changing results within their clients. The Confident Hypnotist isn’t scared of performing public displays of Hypnosis and doesn’t blame the client if they don’t enter Hypnosis…So are you a confident Hypnotist?

Confident is one of the most important traits of a successful Hypnotists because hypnosis is very much a subconscious process. Yeah, there is some physical stuff involved sometimes, but really it’s a subconscious process. It’s a subconscious communication between your subconscious and the clients. I want you to take a moment and think about a time in life you were super confident. Maybe it was working with a client or asking someone on a date or just confident about your job. Can you imagine the feelings and the sensations going through your mind and body. Did you pay attention to how others responded to you?

Now take a moment and remember a time when you didn’t feel so confident. Maybe you were unsure of something. Maybe it was the first time you ever performed an induction or attempted to hypnotize someone. Maybe you were sweating a little or just a little shaky. Did you notice how people responded to you when you weren’t confidence?  It’s a proven fact that being confident actually influences others and actually aids you in getting the outcome you want.

Another process that is critical to your success is your subconscious intent. Your Intent Is everything and you need to be able to project that confidence on all levels so the other persons subconscious knows without a shadow of a doubt that you are the expert, you can help them and they ARE GOING INTO TRANCE…NOW!

The problem is that most hypnosis schools or hypnosis trainings completely leave this subject untouched. It’s as if they care more about the technique when any smart Hypnotist knows technique mean nothing in the long run. It’s all about your confident and intent. This is a reason a lot of new Hypnotist completely fail. Due to the lack of hypnosis schools teaching this the result is many of the newcomers to our profession have trouble with their first induction or hypnotizing someone for the first time.

Hypnosis isn’t hard and it doesn’t have to be. I struggled in the beginning when I got started. My first induction went well, but my success with clients was awful in the beginning. I couldn’t understand it really. I was doing everything in the book as the book said, but still wasn’t getting success. It wasn’t until I learned about Subconscious Confident and Intent. This is what changed the game for me.

Still, the questions remains is how do we instill the confidence needed into Hypnotists and even more importantly…How do we give people step by step instructions to become more confident?

It’s one thing to tell someone to become confident, but what does that really mean and how is it done? How do you teach confidence to someone? That has been a question asked by many and yet untold by even more.

Well, I’m happy to announce my good friend Nathan Thomas has solved the problem that our community has been having for years. He has been working on a new digital hypnosis program called The Confident Hypnotist which will answer the question of how do we become more confident hypnotist and convey our intent.

This isn’t a personal development program, but a step by step guide to achieve this level of confident that some of the best in the business have. If you want to know the secret to becoming great at hypnosis. I’ll tell you. Confident…Simple Confident In Yourself and your abilities as a Hypnotist.

Currently this program is NOT available for sale right now, but Nathan has taken the time and created a free teleseminar for everyone to listen to that talks about this problem and provides some cool value and information as well.

So if you enjoy free stuff like I do you can check it out here:

I was suppose to be the to interview him for the teleseminar, but schedule conflicts with the big product I’m working on got in the way. Either way, I just wanted to share this free teleseminar from Nathan with all of you in the hopes that it provides some value for you.

So take a few moments out of your busy day and invest in learning something new. I’ve got to run to the doctors with my wife. Everything is fine by the way, but since my wife has M.S. we want to check with the doctors about the advantages and disadvantages of having a child. It never hurts to be safe.

Do you want to stop blushing, compulsive lying or gain more effective addiction treatment? These three problems may be vastly different but they have two things in common – they can all cause severe distress to the person suffering from them; and all can be treated using hypnotherapy and mindfulness therapy.

Can you imagine the sense of freedom and control you would feel if you were able to finally gain control of blushing, compulsive lying or your addiction? If you’d like to make positive changes in your life read on to find out how treatment with hypnotherapy and mindfulness therapy can help put you back in charge!

How to Stop Blushing

People often associate social anxiety and social phobia with blushing but this isn’t always the case. Just because you blush doesn’t mean you have social anxiety but a problem with blushing can lead to social anxiety. The interesting thing is that the fear of blushing, rather than blushing, becomes the greatest problem. Whether you have a problem with excessive blushing or not, you’ve probably noticed that when you’re in a situation that makes you fear that you will blush, blushing comes rushing! The more you resist or fear blushing, the more you begin to blush. It’s the fear of blushing that can lead to social anxiety, not the blushing.

The person who suffers from excessive blushing can feel as if they have no control over the actions of their body and this creates fear which only makes matters worse – but mindfulness therapy combined with hypnotherapy can help you to control the fear and as a result, control the blushing.

Keeping a cool head so to speak becomes much easier when you learn just how to let go of the fear of blushing. Hypnotherapy for blushing can help you to self manage your mind body connection, including your relationship with temperature and facial flushes. If you have tried hypnotherapy for blushing before and not achieved a result, it may be because it wasn’t combined with mindfulness therapy.

Mindfulness therapy is a technique that involves intentional moment by moment, non judgemental experiencing of your body sensations, thoughts and feelings. It allows you to gain an increased level of awareness and understanding of the mind-body connection. In essence, you’ll get to know your blushing problem intimately and as a result, be able to reduce your levels of fear and anxiety.

How to Stop Compulsive Lying

Compulsive lying or pathological lying is a learned coping habit which can completely ruin close relationships. Since most compulsive liars have learned to lie as easily as they shake hands, they rarely feel there is a problem telling lies. It’s easy to understand the devastating effect this problem can have on the personal, work and business relationships of the person telling the lies but for the compulsive liar, it’s difficult to control the problem even once they have acknowledged that they have a problem.

What causes compulsive lying? It’s usually shame – an underlying feeling that they are unworthy, deficient or inadequate as they are. They begin to make things up and eventually compulsive lying becomes an almost unconscious, misguided attempt to cover shame feelings by appearing special.

Effective treatment for compulsive lying involves mindfulness therapy, counselling and hypnotherapy. The techniques are combined to work with both conscious and unconscious habits of mind. Mindfulness and attachment therapy combined provides the person suffering from compulsive lying with a secure relationship with a therapist. Within that secure relationship they are able to be authentic and honest without fear of judgement. It allows them the opportunity to get to know themselves on a deeper level and deal with feelings of shame and inadequacy which in turn can remove their need for compulsive lying.

Treatment for Addiction

Addiction treatment usually involves counselling, rehabilitation, medication and or a twelve step recovery program. These methods are fine but sometimes addictions suggest a deeper problem that needs to be addressed if a long lasting result is to be achieved.

Addictions are often an attempt to avoid feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, anger and depression. The addiction might vary but whether it’s compulsive shopping, binge drinking, cocaine or cannabis addiction, or an addiction to chocolate, coffee or gambling, the common element is an unconscious attempt to avoid unpleasant and possibly unconscious feelings.

That’s why hypnotherapy combined with mindfulness therapy can be effective in addiction treatment. The addict is able to identify and deal with the feelings they’ve been avoiding, bringing them to a conscious level, thereby reducing the need to avoid them and gaining control over their addiction.

Blushing, compulsive lying and addictions have yet another thing in common – they are all essentially habits that rely on the sufferer being unaware of, or unable to deal with feelings that are for the most part, unconscious. If you have a problem with blushing, lying or an addiction, a combination of hypnotherapy and mindfulness therapy may be an effective treatment for you. It can put you in touch with unconscious feelings and break the hold that addiction, blushing or lying has on you.

How do you know if you’re depressed or not? Everyone feels down and blue from time to time. This is a normal part of being human and fortunately for most people, their down or sad mood lifts within hours or days. For some people however, this sad or flattened mood continues for weeks, and in some cases for months or even years.

Technically speaking, clinical or major depression involves feeling sad, down or “can’t be bothered” for at least 2 weeks, along with at least 4 of the following:

• disturbed sleep (oversleeping, waking 1-2 hours earlier than normal and not being able to sleep, waking up feeling unrefreshed).

• decreased energy

• changes in appetite or weight (either a noticed increase or decrease)

• changes in psychomotor activity (either moving very slowly or being hyperenergised)

• disturbed concentration and difficulty making decisions

• feeling guilty and or worthless

• thoughts of, or attempts at, suicide.

Other symptoms commonly linked with depression include socially withdrawing, excessively crying, irritability, self-harming behaviors such as cutting, lack of enjoyment in previously pleasurable activities and a decreased interest in sex.

The feature and risk of suicide clearly highlights why it is so important for people who are depressed to get professional help. Approximately 15% of individuals with severe depression successfully commit suicide. In such severe cases, hospitalisation is often necessary to keep individuals safe. It is very hard to end up in hospital, and most cases of depression can be successfully treated while you remain engaged in your normal life.

There are many reasons why people develop depression. It seems more likely in those who have an immediate family member who has also experienced depression. It is common following some sort of stressful life event, such as losing your job, a relationship break-up, or following the death of a loved friend or family member. Major depression also seems to occur in adults who suffered abuse and neglect when they were children or who lost a parent during childhood and adolescence. Other risk factors include chronic health problems, such as heart disease or high blood pressure. Interestingly, from adolescence, females suffer more from depression than men do.

What should you do if you think you have depression? Tell someone you trust, such as your partner, friend or family member that you aren’t feeling like your usual self. There is no shame in having depression and it is an illness that needs treatment. Do some research and contact a few different therapists and have a brief chat about the problems you are experiencing. Its good to talk to prospective counsellors with hypnotherapy training on the phone to get an idea about whether you feel you can work with them.

Hypnotherapy can help enormously when applied as part of a supportive counselling framework for depression treatment.
