Having the right frame of mind during childbirth has an enormous impact on how the labour will progress. Claire is testament to this as presumably she trusted herself and had faith that she could do what nature intended her to.

A smoker using hypnotherapy to become a non-smoker has to make the decision to quit for themselves. Hypnosis is a great tool but cannot make you do anything against your will. What it will do it enable you to feel confident that you can stay off cigarettes. Many people walk away from smoking cessation sessions with little or no cravings for tobacco. They just get on with their lives just as most of the other non-smokers on the planet do, dealing with life’s ups and downs without the added stress of thinking about when they can get their next nicotine fix. Associations with smoking can be broken, for example if you used to have a cigarette when drinking coffee, or if you used to light up after every meal.

The numbers of sessions hypnotherapists offer for smoking cessation can vary from 1 to maybe 3. Personally I have found that nearly all my clients only need one session to become and remain smoke free. Stop smoking sessions are normally quite pricey so hypnotherapists who offer some sort of guarantee their sessions will work are obviously attractive to those who are worried about the cost. I offer such a guarantee and you can find out more on www.hypno4stopsmoking.co.uk

You know when you see your favourite band in concert it’s so much better than listening to them on a CD at home, well the same applies with hypnotherapy. You cannot beat real life sessions but if you do not live near me and are unable to visit me for a session, you may find one of the MP3 downloads on Hypnotic World useful.

As a Hypnotherapist I work with expectant mums who want that extra support – I build up strong albeit temporary rapport and trust with them and help them discover how powerful they and their minds truly are. Along with treating children, working with mums-to-be gives me an enormous amount of satisfaction because you know at the end of it all there will be beautiful bundle of joy to look forward to.

I will of course not be there to support the mum at the actual moment of childbirth so my job is to make sure they can support themselves with the help of self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis is very easy to learn and the techniques I teach can be used at any time in the future to help with situations other than childbirth. Incorporated into the hypnotherapy sessions is also Suggestion Therapy – positively phrased suggestions which take root in the subconscious mind. Being out of control is often the biggest fear a pregnant woman has – possibly with regards to the sensations in her own body or not being able to make their own choices when they need to. Other less obvious concerns can be doubts about how they will cope with the new arrival, if they will lose their own identity and how easily they will bond with their baby.

Fears often have 9 months to build (from previous experiences, media stories etc) so by helping expectant mums overcome their fears it helps them feel so much more in control and reassured. Prior to or during childbirth often a woman will expect pain on a subconscious level so their body produces certain hormones during labour and the outcome is a restricted flow of blood and oxygen to her uterus and tightening of muscles in the cervix – the areas which needs the most help at this stage! On the other hand if a woman is relaxed and looking forward to the birth, there will be more synergy between her mind and her body. When a woman feels no fear during childbirth there is little or no discomfort – the contractions come regularly and rhythmically and the baby is born more easily (and often faster).

It is important not to forget that partners often need support. They can sometimes feel a bit left out or useless when it comes to helping support the mother and they may even have their own fears or doubts. By being able to assess and deal with the likely weaknesses of the other person present at the birth, we can ensure the mother has the greatest possible support and that the partner feels both a part of the process and able to enjoy the experience.

So if you would like extra support from someone like myself, all you have to do is ASK for it!

They say 90% of golf is in the mind so if you want to lower your handicap, take your game to the next level and enjoy it more then you need a great mental attitude on the course.

I am a Buckinghamshire based hypnotherapist and have designed hypnotherapy sessions specifically for golfers helping them to achieve success and gain confidence during a round. The yips can be eliminated; your short game can be improved as well as your driving, fairway, wedge and bunker play.

Hypnosis is a receptive and focused state of awareness which helps to promote learning and retention of new ideas. This very natural state can be utilised to bring about positive changes in the way you think about your shots and game of golf. Free consultations are available.
