For confirmed alcoholics, total abstinence
from alcohol may be the only option.
However, for many, controlled drinking or moderated drinking may be the
goal. I would be happy to work with you
and help you become sober and in control of your drinking.
A client in Belgium once told me he wanted to
be able to drink a couple of Belgian beers and enjoy them rather than drink
five or six and wake up in a pool of vomit with a hangover.
Of course, alcohol is easily
available, relatively cheap and portrayed as part of adult socializing. For most people, alcohol moderation is not an
issue. They can enjoy a drink or two and
know when to stop. I want to help
the people who have crossed the line or are concerned that they may be about to. Most
alcoholics or people with uncontrolled drinking are normal everyday functioning
people, often with professional and family responsibilities. It may be your neighbour, colleague or
relative and you don’t even realize. Alcohol can cause
cirrhosis of the liver, heart failure, depression,
anxiety and damage to the brain and nervous system. It is really not worth it.
For Muslims, drinking alcohol is forbidden
because they know that it alters your state, the real uninhibited person
appears who may behave in a rude, violent or aggressive way when alcohol is in
control. Some people become very
emotional and some pass out, vomiting.
The contraceptive pill is not effective for the rest of the month if a
woman has vomited which is how some unwanted pregnancies occur.
I combine advanced hypnosis with NLP and Timeline to change the faulty mental
conditioning and boost your willpower. When your “childish” unconscious mind
knows that this uncontrolled habit is not helping you but doing you harm, it
will adopt change like switching on a lightbulb. Cravings disappear, your willpower is
strengthened and you find new alternative behaviours to replace that automatic
reaching for a bottle (or can). Your
self-confidence and self-esteem probably need a boost. Certainly your self-respect.
You don’t need alcohol to be an
emotional crutch. If there are reasons
for your drinking, relaxation techniques will help us to access the root cause
for the addiction in your unconscious mind so that we can deal with them. You may be facing an emotional problem and
hiding from it rather than dealing with the consequences. Life throws us bad situations and stressful
circumstances but it is not what happens so much as how we
respond that matters. I change the story
about “needing a drink to cope” to more positive feelings about yourself. Whereas drinking used to be for escape, we
replace that running away with confidence, strength and self-control.
Together we create better coping
strategies and attitudes towards alcohol.
It is not your friend, any more than a cigarette is a friend. They are both harmful, addictive drugs.
You don’t have to spend the rest of
your life going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, standing up and saying, “My
name is xxx. I’m an alcoholic.” Hypnotherapy can help you to put alcohol
dependence behind you so you can say socially, “I used to be an alcoholic” or “I
used to have a problem with alcohol... but I found a way out. I’m in control now. I can have a drink when I want to, without
needing to have a drink for the wrong reasons.”
Cutting down on your alcohol consumption will
also help you with better sleep, appetite, concentration and decision-making
skills.
Today can
be the day when you start loving yourself and appreciating yourself for the
really good and intelligent individual that you are. It is time to take action.

An allergy is an overreaction on
the part of the immune system to things that were not necessarily dangerous in
and of themselves, but that at one time your body thought they were.
Allergies such as hayfever are traditionally treated with a
strong antihistamine. The medicine is relatively effective, but it dries out
the nasal passages and throat and can be very uncomfortable. Is it possible to use our own powerful mind
to treat the allergy? Apparently, yes.
NLP is about human
excellence, about how to change limiting beliefs and attitudes to restore
health and maintain happiness.
NLP aims to combine the three most influential
factors known to influence human experience:
The neurological system, responsible for body function regulation;
The language system that controls how we interact and communicate
with others;
Our programming, which defines the models of the worlds we create
in our lives.
NLP
is known for modifying many behaviours through anchoring of a positive state in
the predominant V-A-K senses ie Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic. NLP can help in situations like public
speaking; a salesperson can identify a
purchaser’s buying strategy to understand what would be the best approach in
selling and a teacher can use NLP to help
students learn in the way which is best for them individually.
The
NLP Fast Phobia Cure can remove a phobia within 15 minutes. I know because I have used it successfully
with many clients and used a combination of self-hypnosis and the NLP Fast
Phobia Cure to overcome my life-long spider phobia.
Yes,
there are many widely known applications of NLP but I want to look at a little
known area: NLP for Allergies. This method recodes how the person’s T-cells flag an
allergen in the their immune system. Allergens that were marked out as harmful
by the person’s immune system are, after the NLP allergy process, treated as
they should be ie they aren’t flagged any more.
1.Associate into the
memory of an allergic reaction.
2.Establish an anchor
[A1] for a dissociated state.
3.Establish a desired
state anchor [A2] for how the explorer wants to respond.
4.Establish an anchor
for several counterexample reference experiences [A3].
5.Check for any
secondary gains or ecology issues regarding the allergic response.
6.Fire off the
dissociated state anchor [A1] and have the explorer begin to imagine being near
the allergen.
7.Fire off the
anchors for the desired state [A2] and counterexample [A3] simultaneously.
8.Test.
The site goes on to
say:
“The basic NLP
Allergy Technique has now been applied thousands of times in clinical and
training settings and has been effective in changing a vast majority of allergy
symptoms. The types of allergies have included those to airborne material, such
as smoke, pollen, perfume, etc., to various foods, and even in cases involving
asthma.
In a study done in
Salt Lake City (Hallbom & Smith, 1987), 32 individuals were guided through
the allergy pattern for a multitude of allergies, including pollen, smoke and foods.
They even treated a person who was sensitive to poison oak, which is a kind of
an allergy. Out of the 30 people, all but three showed immediate reduction of
their symptoms. Most of the people in the study, in fact, showed a complete
suppression of the allergic reaction immediately after learning the process. A
six month follow up revealed that only three of the individuals who had
responded positively had any recurrence of their allergies.
In the Summer of
1994, a controlled clinical test of the Allergy Process was conducted with
approximately 120 allergy sufferers. The study was conducted under the
supervision of Dr. David Paul at a hospital in Vail, Colorado. The study showed
that the Allergy Process produced significant reduction in the symptoms of many
types of allergies, in particular food allergies. Details of this study are
available from the Institute for Advanced Studies of Health (IASH).”
How Does NLP Help Allergies?
The premise of NLP suggests that allergic reactions
(an immune response from the body) are directly influenced by the mind and
other psychological factors. NLP works by questioning these factors and teaches
the individual how to have more control over his or her body’s response to
allergens.
Medical
people agree that the chronic, allergy-related diseases (asthma, allergic
rhinitis, eczema) can be triggered by stress, anxiety or strong emotions.
NLP practically retrains the immune system to react
less, if at all, to allergens. It aims to treat the allergy by re-educating the
immune system to react passively instead of actively in response to allergens
(and other foreign substances) via techniques of psychological reframing.
Allergies can often develop in times of great
change such as puberty, marriage, poor health and even parenthood. These
changes can all affect us both externally and internally at a cellular level.
With these changes in mind, NLP aims to help the individual identify how and
when the allergy developed, and re-educates the body on how it may have acted
differently. In training the imagination, NLP teaches the body what it needed
to know to deal with the allergen at that crucial time of development, giving
it a new point of reference for future encounters with allergens.
The NLP allergy process was originally
developed by Robert Dilts, Tim Hallbom, and Suzi Smith. Here is the process taught
by Tim Hallborn:
Here is the experience of people who have used NLP
for allergies:
“I think the
best claims are to actually try the techniques. I have seen NLP used to cure
all sorts of allergies – including mine. I had horrible food allergies that
completely constrained my life for 10 years. At a certain point I was willing
to try anything to get over them. I did try NLP and it worked.” - Kat
Peter N:
"Amazing. After years of hayfever misery, one session of NLP has freed me."
Cliff
Westin:
“The above (Tim
Hallborn video)should cover your question about the process. As for the
extraordinary evidence; for me, I had seasonal allergies relieved while
learning the process. I have since used this process to alleviate pet allergies
with a number of people and I have been able to alleviate lactose intolerance
in one person as well.
I agree that a
large study should be conducted on this to give the general populous that don’t
understand what the processes is about, the ammunition needed to make a
reasonable decision. On the other side of this statement, without such a study,
it’s also hard to condemn the process.
For those that
feel this is dangerous. It is always recommended to validate the outcome of
this process with a medical professional. If you have sea food allergy and you
try this process, go back to the Dr. and have them run the tests again. For the
love of all that is holy, don’t take anyone’s word for anything, certainly if
you have a condition that could kill you.”
Hypnosis
can sometimes be applied:
Jonathan
Arthur:
“I had a hypnosis
session for the matter of dog allergies. I have been thinking whether or not
this has worked. For the last two weeks I have been fostering dogs with no
allergic reaction, I have concluded that my allergies to dogs have been cured!
If you are skeptical of hypnosis then you should try it. If you don’t think
this exists, try it for yourself. It’s not the Hypnotist doing anything, it’s
how you go about in your own consciousness. It’s extremely hard to explain but
if you have allergies, depression, addiction etc…… Just try a session and see
if it works for you. This is not voodoo or anything like it. Try it for
yourself.”
Remember
that an allergy can be the body’s way of
communicating the need to take better care, slow down and return to a healthier
way of living. A disease shows that the
body is at dis-ease with itself.

The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton
suffered from severe morning sickness during the first trimester of her
pregnancy and resorted to hypnotherapy. This condition is known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). HG is a
debilitating condition which frequently requires hospitalisation and IV
treatment ie intravenous feeding. It can be very stressful. Some women say
they can only eat very little whilst some cannot bear the smell of any
food.
Hypnotherapy helps to neutralise negative thoughts about food and
remove adverse reactions which cause the morning sickness.
A friend of the
Duchess reported,
“She
finds it very hard to eat a full meal and gets full very quickly. The hypnotherapy is
taking away any negative thoughts connected with food from the morning
sickness, and replacing them with cravings for healthy, nutritious food.”
Kate is
expecting her first baby in June. I wish her blooming health for the rest
of the pregnancy.

When singing star Adele heard her Bond theme song "Skyfall" was nominated for Best Song at the Oscars in 2013 she was over the moon but also terrified when invited to perform it live at the ceremony. Panic and insomnia set in. Why would that be when she has performed live so many times? It might have something to do with the fact that she heard her own idol Barbra Streisand would also be performing or just that she knew she would be performing in front of millions worldwide. Apparently, Adele's stage fright was so bad that at last year's Grammy Awards she was heard to vomit in the toilets before appearing on stage. The Sun Showbiz Editor wrote: “The star has been having the treatment in LA in a bid to conquer her anxiety over her upcoming Oscars performance”. Apparently she has a history of being extremely nervous and refuses to play in large venues and stadiums.
A friend recommended she visit a hypnotherapist to calm her nerves and overcome the stage fright. Under hypnosis events and situations do not seem so scary so we can face whatever it is that we are afraid of whether that be fear of heights, flying, spiders, public speaking or in Adele's case - singing live in front of millions. Through a process of detaching from the reality we can desensitize to whatever is making our heart beat too fast and reprogram our mind to see it in an non-scary way, even enjoy the experience. I even overcame my life-long phobia of spiders through self-hypnosis. Once our mind is re-programmed at the deep unconscious level where all permanent change must take place, life will never be the same. An opera singer once approached me for help with her stage fright. Her contemporaries were coping with beta-blockers are prescribed to cope with the physiological symptoms of the "fight or flight" response (pounding heart, cold/clammy hands, increased respiration, sweating, etc.) The symptoms are significantly reduced, thus enabling anxious individuals to concentrate on the task at hand. However, Wikipedia (1) quotes the following adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with the use of beta blockers include: nausea, diarrhoea, bronchospasm, dyspnea, cold extremities, exacerbation of Raynaud's Syndrome, bradycardia, hypotension, heart failure, heart block, fatigue, dizziness, alopecia (hair loss), abnormal vision, hallucinations, insomnia,nightmares, sexual or erectile dysfunction and/or alteration of glucose and lipid metabolism. They must also not be prescribed if the patient suffers from asthma or takes cocaine. So my very sensible opera singer preferred to become my client and learn how to overcome her stage fright with natural, relaxing hypnosis. I offer Skype hypnosis for anyone who wishes to overcome stage fright or any fear, phobia or anxiety state. (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

Smokers are interesting folk. They like their tobacco. They enjoy the smoke rolling over their tongue and sucking it deeply into their lungs. They enjoy a brief moment of the rush they get as the tobacco enters
their bloodstream and reaches the brain quickly. They like to huff and puff and blow the smoke out of their mouth, off their lips and into the air. Some creative smokers are very good at smoke rings; one inside the other. They like to flick their cigarettes as far as they can. It's a flicking contest to see if they can flick their little tobacco butt to a certain pre-determined location; like playing darts going for the target.
Smokers like to smoke however there are a few who really do want to stop. They are tired of waking up and spitting out phlegm every morning from the smokers hack. They are tired of people, especially their children tell them it's bad and that they stink. They see the signs all around them that let them know that cigarettes can and do kill or maim people everyday. Hundreds of thousands of people.
Hypnosis is one of the most powerful methods to help a person stop smoking naturally and permanently. BUT, there is a problem. Smokers like to smoke regardless. Even though they can chew gum, get patches, acupuncture, laser and of course use hypnosis; many go back and will still smoke.
So, what's going on? Why are people so freakin' into this self-destructive habit that they are willing to risk their lives to continue on with it? It is irrational behavior (but so is politics).
Smoking is not rational folks, it is an emotional issue. People are emotionally anchored to the smoking habit. HABIT. Yes I said habit. Not addiction because in 72 hours from stopping all the tobacco is out of the system and then all you have left is "monkey talk". In case you don't know what monkey talk is it is that garbage in the mind that swirls around reinforcing all the dumb reasons to smoke.
You look kool. You feel better. You are more relaxed. You reduce stress. You relieve anxiety. and so on.... ALL MONKEY TALK... MONKEY, MONKEY.
So for all you smokers out there now pay attention because I will share with you the easiest way to stop smoking. It ain't will power, it ain't pills, it ain't drugs or patches either. You just stop.
Yeah right you say! Been there, done that, failed. Yes you have but if you use a strategy based on emotions you will be successful.
You can use positive or negative reinforcement. It does not matter. The only thing that matters is that you use a powerful emotional experience in your life, YOUR LIFE that you can anchor to stop smoking~ ~
I had a client who stopped easily when they put the face of their cheating smoking spouse on a cigarette. Sure made them not want to suck face with tobacco anymore.
Another client had beautiful grand kids and wanted, really wanted to be around for their graduation.
Then there was a client who lost their very friend to cancer and saw and felt the pain it caused him and the family. They stopped cold turkey.
And of course the client who stopped when she discovered her husband had developed cancer and ended up in the hospital and the edge of death and gave it up immediately. Fortunately he lived and she never went back to smoking again.
The one thing they have in common is an emotional experience and in the 25+ years I have been working with smokers I have found this to be true.
Why not take a moment now to look at a Stop Smoking program for yourself or someone you love. You can stop smoking with hypnosis and feel good about life all over again!

Business networking is key, especially for the self-employed sole trader. However, being good or earnest in your field of work does not necessarily mean you are good in sharing your interest to others or inquiring about what they do. While a certain social skill is necessary when listening to something in which you have no interest and trying to politely escape, being confident enough to go along in the first place and open up to strangers is a challenge for many of us. Perhaps you even dread the idea? There is plenty of advice on the "how" of networking ie working the room, collecting business cards rather than just handing them out to people who smile politely but file them in the waste bin the next day and becoming a connector who introduces people, rather than just touting for their own business. I found this online course http://www.kintish.co.uk/store/e-learning/ which contains four elements for £79.95.
But before you reach the "how", you need the confidence to walk in and feel comfortable. "Feel good in your own skin" as they say. Then there is fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of the unknown to overcome. All perfectly normal and understandable but annoying as they will hold you back from this wonderful medium of promoting your business.
I can help you boost your confidence generally or more specifically in an area such as business networking confidence. I do this with the powerful tool of hypnosis. Hypnosis? Don't worry. It's perfectly safe and natural. You allow yourself to enter a deeply relaxed state both mentally and physically and remain in control at all times. Using hypnosis for improved business networking confidence is not about positive thinking but about making change at the deep subconscious or unconscious level where all permanent change must take place. That is the part of your mind, the 90-95% part of your mind, where your fears and niggling voices live, telling you that "you can't...." Of course you can when you retrain this part of you. It's easy, quick and very effective. The very best way to do this is for me to help you one-to-one at my practice in Portsmouth, Hampshire on the southern coast of England. I do sometimes see clients in London or Brussels, Belgium and clients fly in from other countries for my help. Another way to help is to listen to a download hypnosis mp3 on business networking confidence. It only costs a few US Dollars which you can pay in your currency via credit card. You can listen to it when the time suits you. On the same page of the website, you will find a list of other business-related subjects which hypnosis can also help. Selecting two or more titles entitles you to a discount. You don't have to dread business networking meetings. With my help, or listening to this download hypnosis mp3 on business networking confidence, you will actually enjoy the meetings and find them productive in the growth of your business.
By the way, I love helping people overcome their fear of public speaking, whether in small groups or to large audiences. You might dread being asked to give a short presentation on yourself at a business networking meeting. I used to be very shy and blush but improving my self-confidence through self-hypnosis has helped me enormously. Now I welcome the opportunity to speak to groups, large or small, on hypnosis and personal development subjects. If you have an issue with speaking in meetings or presentations, I can certainly help you.

I have just received an email from a 62 year old man who came to see me to stop smoking in one session:
“I thought I would let you know I am now on day 50, smoke
free! I am amazed how easy it was/is to
give up after over 40 years. Even in the
presence of smokers (who sometimes maliciously offer me a cigarette) it doesn’t
bother me, but makes me even more determined.”
My STOP SMOKING IN ONE SESSION technique works time and time again because I include several elements which I consider necessary for immediate results and long-term success.
I want to ensure that new non-smokers are not troubled by other people's smoke, are not tempted by their "still smoking friends", do not replace the smoking habit with over-eating and have lost the addiction to nicotine completely.
Trying to give up smoking by using nicotine replacement patches, gum or tablets still keeps you addicted to nicotine. In fact nicotine chewing gum has now been linked to mouth & throat cancer.
"Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little".(New Scientist, Volume 136 issue 1845 31 Oct 1992, page 6)
There are so many reasons why stopping smoking is the right decision to take whether for your health, your appearance, setting the right example to your children, giving you a substantial pay rise - the list goes on. Maybe you are feeling the effects of damaging your lungs when doing exercise, your skin is ageing a bit too fast, you notice your white ceilings aren't quite so white any more or see people flinch to move away from you because you reek of stale smoke. Sorry to be blunt but smokers have no idea how bad they smell to non-smokers and we don't want the stench on our clothes and hair if we visit you.
For whatever reason you first started to smoke, there are plenty of better reasons to stop.
If you really want to stop and are now ready, call me because I give results. I'm not the cheapest but I'm also not the most expensive. I do guarantee you this - the relatively small investment of my fee compared to years of smoking costs will be the best investment in yourself you can possibly buy.
I am based near Portsmouth in Hampshire on the south coast of England. I can also arrange to see clients for stop smoking in London or Brussels. My international clients find me convenient to reach with Southampton Airport just 13 miles away or a train ride from London Gatwick Airport.
