Our Book Review pages have been updated. This month we have included a review of Edwin Yager's new book -
Foundations of Clinical Hypnosis.
Review ...
When I initially saw the title of this book, I was prepared for an exploration of hypnosis. What I wasn't prepared for was such a fabulously comprehensive and compelling read. I am sure this will become one of the major texts in the field of hypnosis.
This is a long awaited and excellent account of the multiplicity of hypnosis that will be a valuable resource for both new and experienced therapists. It doesn't get hung up on specific one-sided approaches to .................

We've had great reports on how useful the Past Life Regression Course was last time we ran it, hence we are offering it again, on the 28th February.
Many of our students found this 1 day course last year so exciting that they requested we run a follow up day to cover the many other areas of Past Life therapy that we simply couldn't explore on that day, so we are offering the Part 2 on the 1st March, to go alongside Part 1.
So … what will you learn?
This full day's instruction on how to manage a Past Life Regression session includes a theoretical underpinning of PLT (Past Life Therapy), followed by a Live Demonstration and Processing of the session. Following this a review and discussion of the challenges encountered when using PLT will be explored.
The workshop may challenge you to think outside of normal everyday thinking into areas such as the Spirit, the Higher Self, God, Genetics, Archetypes, Akashic Records, Karma and Evolution and will guarantee to excite your imagination wherever you are at in your spiritual journey.
This is a chance to open your mind enjoy moving into realms you may not have explored.

"On Learning From the Patient" was one of the first books I read soon after qualifying as a Hypno-Psychotherapist. It not only inspired me in my work, but it gave me a unique perspective that although obvious now, was not there in the beginning. It opened me up to learning from the patient/client, surprisingly!
When I heard that Patrick was going to be close to home and was to run a workshop on his new book "Learning From Life", I wanted to meet the man that 8 years ago took me into greater depths within the therapeutic world and the nature of therapy, that had sparked something within about the work that could be done and what would make a difference. I hoped he would be up to his books.
I was not to be disappointed. We heard stories about life … his life and life as a therapist. At times of true pain in the stories he shared, he was emotional … at times when he illustrated heart breaking traumatic moments in his work with clients, tears were behind his eyes as he paused …. holding the moment … breathing back in the experience of a time where 2 people in a room share something unique; maybe it is a partial understanding of something `un-understandable' or maybe it is the emotional encounter of bearing the unbearable, of what has been in life. He reminded me of the depth one has to be willing to go to, and hold, when being a therapist.
He talked of "trauma", of that which cannot be born alone, but which the therapist has to (at least) be able to tolerate….all be it, only just. He taught me that sometimes `only just' can be what counts!
We experienced the uniqueness of the 'other' in the room and something he named as - "nameless dread", where there is a past time of the mother's inability to tolerate the infants experience of "feeling they are dying".
He emphasised that the key in therapy is simply listening to the clients prompts, and being `non certain' about what is being shared, because (in ancienct Indian language) being certain is imprisoning and being non certain is freedom, he led us to listening with 'two hands' … just listen and hear!
If you get the chance to hear Patrick speak, it is not just the knowledge and his perspective that may interest you … it is the man himself, within his work with clients, that will make you think; it is the people who have changed in his presence and the lives he has literally saved that will touch you.
I am so pleased that Patrick gave us insights into his personal journey and how the depths he has experienced has made him the man that he is and led the therapy that he gives .. such humanity, and uniquely worked, seamlessly, into the psychoanalytic approach. Touching, inspiring, stirring and memorable. The books are good, but ... he was more! - To read his work see "On Learning From the Patient"
He may have now retired, but I am sure he will present to groups again. You really have to hear and experience him. It was profound. If you get a chance, go see him!
I started my Doctorate this week and suddenly needed some light relief!
This clip was just what I needed (Thanks Tom) and reminded me of my teaching days and the joy of childrens creativity and spontanaity. This will make you chuckle!
It reinforces that the work that I do as a therapist makes a difference whether directly with children or with adults and their Inner Child.
Just listen to it, smile and know that therapy opens the mind to just such a creative world.
Kind Regards and see all of you on the Past life Regression workshop tommorow for more than a creative world! If you would still like to come along, just turn up or call me on 07732 304197! (Creatively trying to pay for my doctorate! :-))

"Enrolling on the Diploma course was the best investment I have ever made. Not only did it equip me for a whole new, rewarding career, but also gave me enormous insight into my own personality, a better understanding of what drives me and what holds me back. I would recommend the course without hesitation." – M.G – Therapist.

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is one of the most significant and exciting developments in the treatment of psychological trauma and is supported by extensive research! EMDR is stated to be an empirically supported treatment choice for adult PTSD (NICE 2005)
EMDR has been found to be of benefit to children as well as adults. It is also increasingly used to help individuals with anxiety based issues including:
Childhood sexual and/or physical abuse, childhood neglect, bullying, natural disasters, assault, surgical trauma, road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, bereavement, pain disorders, panic attacks, phobias, addictions, dissociative disorders, war related experiences, body image disorders and performance anxiety.
"Having suffered from PTSD myself and worked through 8 yearsof talking based therapy where I struggled to verbalise and process something that no words could accurately describe, I prayed for something that could reach me and help turn the raw emotional trauma into a memory. I wish my therapist had been trained in EMDR as it would have helped speed up the process and alleviated the symptoms of my distress." - SM Essex
