Children’s trauma and hypnosis

  • Posted on November 8, 2018
It is often a difficult decision when working with a client – adult or child – as to whether or not you should encourage them to revisit an original traumatising event which has contributed to their current issues. There is a potential for a client to revisit trauma in a way which can be overwhelming and retraumatising. However, avoiding revisiting the original traumatising event in favour of using forward focused therapeutic approaches may fail to work at a deep enough level of create lasting change. Whilst a child may have a range of… continue reading →

Children’s openness to change

  • Posted on October 30, 2018
My 9 year old son doesn’t particularly like feet – possibly due to my habit of wandering around barefooted! When I stretched out next to him on the couch the other day – with my feet dangerously near him – he shouted at me to move them. Laughing, I asked him, ‘What happens when you’re grown up, if you’re in love with someone, and they put their feet on you – like I do with dad? Are you going to shout at them?’ He thought about it for a moment, then said, ‘Of… continue reading →

Trauma, dissociation and hypnotherapy

  • Posted on October 29, 2018
The state of ‘hypnosis’ is often described as being ‘dissociated’ – with the conscious mind as being ‘split off’ from the unconscious mind. During the Hypnotherapy Diploma course, we cover various techniques to create this dissociation – including giving the conscious mind something to occupy it, talking about the unconscious mind (and hence implying that there is a split between the conscious and unconscious minds) and talking directly to the part you are trying to reach. Many people experiencing trauma dissociate naturally – it is a defence mechanism where fight or flight is… continue reading →

How to be a confident hypnotherapist

  • Posted on October 20, 2018
I do a lot of continuing professional development training with recently qualified hypnotherapists and supervise a number of practitioners. One of the biggest issues they face is a lack of confidence. They’ve learned a range of techniques and have studied the theory in depth - maybe even sitting extensive exams - but they don’t know how to fit it all together. How do you ask a client for money without feeling embarrassed? What happens when you feel uncomfortable during a session but don’t know how to react? How do you avoid covering the… continue reading →

Detailed and flexible…

is how Stephen Towill describes the Diploma in Analytical Hypnotherapy. Here’s his full review: I would highly recommend Dr Claire Jack’s Diploma in Analytical Hypnotherapy course. I found the course very detailed and having the flexibility to schedule the dates of the course, rather than having them on a fixed classroom style arrangement really suited me. continue reading →

New Hypnotherapy training course – specialising in children’s hypnotherapy

  • Posted on September 29, 2018
I'm so excited to announce the forthcoming NEW hypnotherapy training course which covers all aspects of working with children. It'll be a very comprehensive course, delivered online, and covering everything from the ethical and legal considerations of working with children to how to conduct child-friendly inductions. Many hypnotherapy training courses don't cover working with children. There is a growing demand though, so this course will allow you to get in there as a qualified practitioner delivering a trademarked course. Watch this space - I'm just finalising the course so it's 100% user friendly! continue reading →
