- Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Adam Up
There is a heatwave here in the UK! So before I do anything, let me gift you with this self-hypnosis process that'll help you at night in particular if you struggle to sleep in the heat, enjoy this....
Using Self-Hypnosis To Lower Your Body Temperature.
I start with a bit of fun today with a video clip whereby some believe I was talking to an invisible man...
Also, I have another new video that is asking why oh why so many hypnotherapists refer to themselves as "world-renowned" or "the UK's leading
hypnotherapist". I'm also sharing a new article that encourages and shows how to stop being so defensive and I have another video whereby I am explaining why I believe hypnotherapists in particular need to read more, building upon somethng I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. I've got a bunch of other stuff too
(including notifications about upcoming courses), a fresh evidence based hypnosis meme of the week (this week's has important implications for pain relief), and a joke or two along the way.....

Last weekend was the NCH annual conference. I was asked to be one of the speakers at next year's conference which I have duly accepted. I was asked if I'd record a video to be shown at last weekend's conference that was
introducing me and my presentation. I decided that I'd do something a little bit different, and with tongue firmly planted in cheek. In it, I pretend that there is someone in my office I am talking to; thus the invisible man quip....
This video is not publicly listed anywhere, I shared it at our Facebook group earlier this week, and I'll share it with you here this week too, just a couple of minutes, enjoy!

Why Hypnotherapists Need To Read More, and my Top Ten Hypnotherapy Books. |
Reading is important, as I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. If you read my blog on my personal website, or read my weekly hypnosis ezine, you’ll know that I’ve
written a bit recently about the virtues of reading more.
I have since advanced upon that and made it more specific for this video whereby I talk about why hypnotherapists need to read more. I’ve included some of my criteria for what makes a good hypnotherapy book, and I offer up my top ten list of hypnotherapy books. Enjoy this video:
Why Hypnotherapists Need To Read More Books – And Adam’s Top Ten Hypnotherapy Books.

My latest video.... All Hypnotherapists Now Deemed "World-Renowned" or "Leading"...
|
A few years ago, I wrote an article about a bug-bear of mine and I shared it again recently because it is one of my most popular articles. Today, I decided to make a video on the same topic and based around that article for my YouTube channel and
college blog.
In this video I discuss what it means and ask why so many hypnotherapists refer to themselves as “world-renowned” or “one of the UK’s leading hypnotherapists”, it is delivered with a fun tone, so I hope I’m not coming across as too much of a grump-bag. Watch and let me know what you think…..
All hypnotherapists now deemed “world-renowned” or “leading”…. =====Interested in learning self-hypnosis? Want to get proof of your own self-hypnosis skills and create hypnotic phenomena by yourself, for yourself? Don’t know where to start?
Here’s your answer….
I get asked so often by so many people about the best way to learn self-hypnosis and to get some kind of evidence that they are doing it
correctly. I usually reply to say that the single best way to know you are doing self-hypnosis correctly is to give yourself real-life evidence – by creating hypnotic phenomena.
What do I mean by “hypnotic Phenomena”?
This is our effect. The effect that we are going to create. With stage hypnotists, they create effects of people believing they are someone else, for example. With hypnotherapists they create effects of being free of habits, for example. With street
hypnotists, they create the effect of someone believing their foot is stuck to the floor, for example. Within this self-hypnosis roadmap, you are going to create an effect that is going to be undeniably convincing to you that you are using self-hypnosis well.
This roadmap teaches you how to adopt the hypnotic mindset, how to induce self-hypnosis, how to absorb yourself profoundly in self-hypnosis, how to create your own incredible hypnotic phenomena, and then how to exit self-hypnosis and
develop your skills with it. I think you are going to love this. To get the roadmap and guide sent through to your inbox straight away, just visit this page on my college website:
A FREE
Self-Hypnosis Roadmap – Learn How To Create Your Own Hypnotic Phenomena.
Go download this, you are going to have a lot of fun with it, believe me. Enjoy engaging with self-hypnosis, most importantly, enjoy creating real-life undeniable hypnotic phenomena for yourself – it's going to blow your mind.

I mentioned it in previous editions of this ezine, I am going to be on tour a bit this year. I am coming North to Hull. I am going East to Norwich. I am going west to Cardiff. I am going to the midlands in Birmingham and I'll be in London though the upcoming one day seminars here in
Bournemouth in March are now completely full to capacity and sold out. Wherever you are based in the UK though, I hope you'll be able to access my seminars this year.My rapid inductions and hypnotic phenomena for hypnotherapists seminar is coming to all these venues, and so is my science of self-hypnosis seminar. Many of the dates are at weekends, so there's no excuse. Each is less than £100.00 to attend
(plus Vat) and you can read about the course, grab all the dates, details about course content and more by downloading a free prospectus at these two pages on my website, come and join me in your neck of the woods:
Are You Considering Training To Be A Hypnotherapist?
Then I have something very cool indeed for you.
For anyone considering training in the field of hypnotherapy, looking to train to be a hypnotherapist, I have
put together a roadmap; a guide to help you do that. Whether you come and train with me here at this college or go somewhere else, this roadmap and guide will offer you a real direction of how to identify the best way to train as a hypnotherapist.
Even more importantly though, it contains a HUGE amount of free resources for you to use and learn from. To download it, just visit this
page and you’ll be sent through the Roadmap. For free, with my compliments. I have crammed it full of information, advice, guidance and it includes a mass of free resources that I wished I had been given when I first looked at training to be a hypnotherapist:
This Week's Main Article:
Take Responsibility For Your Life

Stop being defensive, that is my message today.
I encounter a lot of defensiveness. One of the reasons is that because I have a very particular set of values about the way hypnotherapy should be conducted and because my
college and I adhere to such an evidence-based approach with our practices.
Those who do not adhere to evidence base in the same way, or those who are not aware of it tend to get defensive. I was recently discussed on a podcast whereby the host claims to embrace the diversity of the hypnosis field, yet also clearly has issues with me and my stance and is defensive with me due to my stance. I get attacked a great deal by fellow professionals who struggle to provide anything other than
subjective or anecdotal evidence for what they do due to my stance even if I have never mentioned them or referred to them – this is borne out of defensiveness and often feelings of insecurity.
However, that is not my direction today. It struck me that this defensiveness I encountered from fellow professionals was very similar to the kinds of defensiveness I encounter from my clients in my consulting rooms – not as a presenting issue, but often as a co-morbid symptom related to their
presenting problem. I spend quite a bit of time coaching and helping clients (and others) to be less defensive, so I thought I’d write a little bit about that today, and about how to stop being defensive.
“More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren’t so busy denying them” — Harold J. Smith.
Behaving defensively is not typically a characteristic that is viewed in a positive way. When interacting with someone you perceive as defensive,
it doesn’t feel collaborative or productive. It feels combative. The subconscious dialogue going on in your head includes thoughts like: Why are they being so stubborn? Why can’t they try to see a different point of view? Why can’t they stop being defensive? They are being unreasonable and closed-minded.
Chronic defensiveness can be very irritating and quite possibly can cause a breakdown in relationship harmony. Not many things in life are as destructive to
good communication and healthy relationships as defensiveness. Defensiveness blinds us to our long-term goals in the face of perceived criticism. And makes us commit acts of self-sabotage and lashing out when we feel attacked. According to a white paper by Mitchinson and Morris at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the Center for Creative Leadership, defending detracts from “learning agility,” or a mindset that helps people develop as leaders and tackle the problems facing their
organisations.
For many people, their behavioural patterns stem from emotional, mental, or personality issues/tendencies developed over the course of their life. We all have a tendency to feel defensive from time to time. But it is possible for individuals to manage their own defensiveness with a few simple steps...
Go and read the full article with references and deeper information about how and why you'll benefit from being less defensive.....
