Fly without fear this summer

davee — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:26:34 +0000

For many people the fear of flying has led them to turn down jobs or promotions, to put off visits to family members who live far away, to pour over road maps or bus and train schedules when planning a holiday, or even worse, been forced to stay at home.

DC Hypnotherapy use a variety of techniques to directly communicate with the unconscious mind, which is where the irrational thoughts provoking a phobia come from. A phobia is a special form of fear which is :

out of proportion to demands of the situation,
cannot be explained or reasoned away,
is beyond voluntary control and
leads to avoidance of the feared situation

It is believed that a phobia is usually a result of the following factors:

severe stress
a series of stressful or negative experiences
transmission from someone else (e.g. a parent or sibling)
past trauma

The aim of therapy is never to completely eradicate the fear since a certain amount of fear is neccesary to allow the client to take sensible precautions to avoid danger. Rather the aim is to help the client to manage their fear or have a different response to the fear provoking situation. This is where hypnotherapy comes in. The treatment of a phobia will usually take between 3 and 5 sessions.

WEIGHT LOSS AT WILBRAHAM HOLISTIC CENTRE

Data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, published in 2003, shows that UK adults eat too much saturated fat, sugar and salt, not enough dietary fibre and, on average, their fruit and vegetable intake is fewer than three portions a day.

A recent consumer survey carried out by the Food Standards Agency revealed that knowledge of what constitutes a healthy diet is actually quite high. Most of the adults surveyed knew which kinds of food they should be eating more of, such as fruit and vegetables, or less of, such as fat and salt.

The rising number of people becoming overweight also tells us that, for a variety of reasons, this knowledge about diet is not being translated into positive action to achieve a healthier diet. It seems that the demands of life in the 21st century has lead us neglect one of the most basic ways to maintain good health. Many people who come to me for help with weight loss tell me that their life style demands make it ”too hard” to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I often ask ”what is too hard” for them, as something being “too hard” is often a belief based on illogical evidence. How many times in the past have we felt something to be “too hard” before overcoming that challenge as stronger people with a sense of pride and achievement. If you, like me, are one of those people who has benifited from challenges in the past then maintaining a healthy lifestyle will prove to be easier then you ever thought it could be with hypnosis.

I offer a three session approach, the first one identifying your current eating habits and empowering you to set goals that are achievable for you to make the changes you want to, using direct suggestion targeted at you when your motivation is at it’s highest. The second giving you techniques to help maintain those changes and reinforcing those new eating habits and the third giving you techniques to maintain your new eating habits for life.

Please be advised that I am not a nutritionistand therfore will not be offering nutrition advise. For people who feel they would benifit from this kind of support consulting a nutritionist prior to hypnotherapy is always advisable.
