Is There Such a Thing As An Unconscious Mind In Hypnosis?
Today I read with interest a mini citing of hypnotherapy as useful for overcomning a germ phobia in this article in the Telegraph. In this article, hypnotherapist Bonita Rayner-Jones is quoted as saying: It seems that your son has OCD, an anxiety disorder that...
The Hypnotic Allure Of Those Eternal Fiery Depths
In hypnotherapy, we often look at what the individual believes. Those beliefs tend to fuel some of the issues they require therapeutic assistance with. Perhaps no belief is as disturbing as eternal torture and torment in a pit of fire... This is the image and notion...
Hypnotist gets Excited About Pile Of Ancient Hypnosis Books!
Ok, so here I am baring my level of 'nerd'ness' for all to see... I collect ancient hypnosis books, some of which are over 110 years old and my shelves are filled with them... I have quoted one or two here on the blog before now and some are sealed in plastic bags and...
The Skill of Forgetting

The Simple Joy Of Outdoors
Yesterday, the sun shone... No snow, no rain, no lengthy periods of darkness... The sun shone. My wife and I tootled off down the coast to one of our favourite spots for a walk in it and it was glorious... I thought I'd share a couple of my pics from my phone... These...
