We’re In The Guardian and Observer Guide to Relaxation

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Guardian and ObserverThe Guardian and Observer are running a two part feature on massage and relaxation this weekend, and we are listed in the section on Cognitive Hypnotherapy.

Here are some extracts from the article on Cognitive Hypnotherapy.

“Cognitive hypnotherapy provides overworked minds with the toolkit they need to fix their own stresses and strains. It is based on modern psychology and neuroscience and, don’t worry, there’s not a pendulum in sight …

… In 2001, Trevor Silvester set up the Quest Institute (questinstitute.co.uk) and introduced the idea of combining hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy, tools from positive psychology, cognitive theory and neuro-linguistic programming…

…There’s no one way to treat stress or to encourage relaxation, it all depends on the way you see things – your model of the world. As part of a session, the client is supplied with a toolkit for the mind. This enables them to use different tools to fix different mental states…

…everyone has the capacity to adopt new mental tools, and anyone can be hypnotised. The only prerequisite is to be open to the process.”

As specialists in Stress, Anxiety and Panic, we can help you to deal more effectively with the strain of modern living. Whether you want to learn to relax more, break an unhelpful pattern of behaviour or find more balance and happiness in your life, we are ready to help you.

Looking forward to your comments...

Relaxation Techniques and Self Hypnosis MP3 for Labour

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

We are pleased to announce that you can now learn self hypnosis and relaxation techniques for pregnancy and labour pain management in the comfort of your own home thanks to our new learn at home birth preparation programme and Self Hypnosis MP3 for Labour downloads.

Learning relaxation techniques and self hypnosis for preganancy can give you a sense of control over your mind and body, both during your pregnancy as well as helping you to manage labour pain when you are giving birth.

Whats more, research at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide, Australia, where hypnosis is used for women in labour, shows it is highly effective. They found that women taught self-hypnosis reduced their need for analgesia by half, epidurals by 70 per cent, and were more than twice as likely to be satisfied with their pain management in labour compared with other women.
