Last September, I wrote about why I firmly believed hypnotherapists should investigate and become aware of the placebo effect. (You can read the article on hypnotherapy and the placebo effect here) There has been some discussion and further research findings recently...
Being Thoughtful To Keep New Years Resolutions
Happy new Year one and all! A fresh, brand, spanking New Year is upon us. I am excited. There is that sense of new beginnings, new life and an air of enthusiasm in the air. Since I last wrote here on the blog back on New Year's Eve, I have had large numbers of emails...
Ordering Up and Achieving Your New Year Resolutions
When I logged on to the various social networks that I am part of this morning, I noticed the large amount of friends, family and people talking excitedly about what they are going to do to celebrate the New Year. It is great, isn’t it? We are off into the New Forest...

Wanting Too Much, Letting Go, And More Self-Hypnosis
Keeping on with the Christmas theme this week (albeit fairly tenuously today!), despite a lot of moaning about the UK weather and our dire need to shout at people regarding it... BAA and the fact that they should have seen it coming, prepared better etc, the...
Cartesian Logic, The Dickens Pattern and Christmas Self-Hypnosis
The title does suggest that much is being crammed in to this blog entry, it certainly does not fail to deliver on that suggestion in my wholly biased opinion... And I am hoping to do the same all week long as we step into Christmas, as Elton John would say... I think...
