I'm very much looking forward to the NLP South Practice group taking place in the New Forest next week as I am going to be speaking at the session and setting some activities. The title is "At the risk of having fun!" I can't reveal too much about it, but it would be great to see some of you there. Visit the "other news" sections for details.

Pain Control
The first account of painless surgery using hypnosis was in 1838. Dr. Elliotson capitalized on the times by giving public demonstrations of hypnosis (which was at that time still referred to as mesmerism, a name given by Franz Anton Mesmer) at the London University College Hospital. Later in 1845 James Esdaile performed over 2000 operations including amputations in which patients were hypnotised. The patients reported feeling no pain throughout their operations.
In 1955 The British Medical Association approved hypnosis after it had been used successfully throughout the 2nd world war to treat post traumatic stress and to perform operations in on soldiers who had limited medical supplies whilst fighting.
Unfortunately no one can really say how hypnosis for pain control works, however,
research seems to suggest that it is based upon a disassociation model, as seen in
patients with Multiple Personality Disorder.

I will be speaking at the NLP South Practice group on 4th September 2008. For more details visit their website at www.nlp-south.org.uk
About a month ago I was discussing the number of "hits" received on the PB website in the podcast. Usually there are around 200 visitors to the site each day and during the podcast I said it would be great if everyone listening could visit the site to see if, for the first time there could be over 300 visitors in one day. On Thursday 24th July we received 344 visitors- It just goes to show that if you ask, you're much more likely to get!
There are yet more Hypnosis Audios available - download them now!
Ha Ha Ha!!!!
A man runs to the doctor and says, "Doctor, you've got to help me. My wife thinks she's a chicken!"
The doctor asks, "How long has she had this condition?"
"Two years," says the man.
"Then why did it take you so long to come and see me?" asked the shrink.
The man shrugs his shoulders and replies, "We needed the eggs."

Therapy for Therapists
Have you ever had a problem that seemed so stuck and so complicated that you just couldn’t get it straight in your mind? And the more you tried to make sense of it, the more complicated it seemed to get. We’ve all had a problem like that before, and it’s good to know that there are people in the world who make it their business to help others solve problems.
But what happens when the person who is supposed to solve the problems is also confused by the problem? Who helps then?
It’s useful to know that there is a wealth of resources to be had for those who make it their business to help others. At People Building, we have walked in all of those pairs of shoes. We have been that person with a problem, and know how that feels, that urgency to fee open one’s own mind. We have been the therapists helping the client with their problem, and we have even been the therapist who has once in a while listened to a client and thought “heck, what do I do here?” It’s great to be challenged in this way because we accept that no one person has access to all of the possible answers, and accepting this only drives us to discover the answers we haven’t yet got.
Now, we are established as a support network for therapists also. Every week we receive inquiries such as therapists requesting Hypnosis scripts for problems they are unsure of how to tackle, or parents who are interested in our NLP for children programmes, wondering what small steps they can take to encourage their children. And unlike other popular training organisations we do one significant thing differently to other training companies that I approached when I was a therapist, feeling suck about a problem. The most meaningful thing that they do, is that they reply. And when they reply, they will point you in the best direction they know and offer the best suggestions they have. This in itself is unique- that a training company that is busy conducting NLP and hypnotherapy training courses reply to a message for help, let alone that they will help anyone in any way they can, even if that person has never actually trained with them- even if you have trained with a competitor training company.
However, before you go ahead and call or email them, the best point of reference is their website. Here you will find Hypnosis scripts for hypnotherapists, hypnotherapy audio mp3’s and e-books to help you write your own hypnosis scripts, e-book of collections of hypnotherapy scripts and e-books to help quit smoking, improve confidence and relationships. There are also many other resources contained on the site, such as quizzes and personality tests which you might like to try out for yourself or refer you clients to so that they can discover more information about themselves and how their mind operates.
They frequently publish a free hypnosis script in their free fortnightly newsletter, which also contains hint and tips on NLP based techniques that you might like to try out with your clients.

Hypnosis can be used for theraputic benefits
Hypnosis can be used for therapeutic benefits. It can be used to assist people with overcoming a variety of problems and aliments such as quit smoking, weight loss and building confidence.
Using our experience as qualified hypnotherapists who also specialize in Hypnotherapy training (a 3 week course run over 3 months) we have collated the hypnosis scripts that we have written throughout our years as therapists, and in doing so, have now had these published in a downloadable format from our informative website. The scripts can either be bought in bulk or individually. When purchased individually, the prices of the scripts range from being completely free to a maximum of about £3.00. The pricing is varied depending on the number of words in the script itself (this is displayed with each script available) the demand for a scripts of that subject, and the amount of linguistic structure that was included in that particular hypnosis script.
Hypnosis scripts are not just used for hypnotherapists. Many people who have studied NLP have an understanding of how to get a patient into trance and out of trance. This means that during the trance experience, it would be more than reasonable for the NLP Practitioner to use a Hypnosis script that relates to the specific problem that the patient has. The script can either be used as it is, or just to provide the NLP Practitioner with some inspiration or idea about how they can begin to tackle the problem that the client has.
Knowing that we write hypnosis scripts that people like to purchase, we would like to share with you the skills required to write hypnosis scripts. This is why we have written a downloadable e-book which details the many techniques available to you to help you to write hypnosis scripts. The book contains tools which enable you to structure your language and sentences in a hypnotic way, a way that is designed to create trance.
Trance is a perfectly natural and normal state. People go into trance all the time, everyday, without the help of a hypnotist. If you have ever driven home from work and parked up your car, only to realize that you can’t actually remember your journey that you have just taken (and also know that you haven’t left a trail of destruction behind you – you did stop at all of the red lights and give way at all of the roundabouts!) this is an experience of trance. In the same way that you know, even when you were driving in that trance state, if your car had caught fire, you would have realized and stopped driving, when in a hypnotic trance with a hypnotherapist, if there was a problem there (in the room, with something that was said or done that you were not comfortable with) you would know about that also. This is good because it gives you the opportunity to accept the suggestions you are given when they fit in with who you are and what you want to achieve, and to reject the suggestions that do not necessarily "sit right" with you. A deeper experience of this natural trance state, could be, for example, if you have ever fallen asleep with your television on, when you’re not in a deep sleep, in fact you can still hear the television in background at time. You could easily get up and switch off the television, but it just feels like too much effort. You are so relaxed that your body feels very heavy and too heavy to lift up.
