This week’s ‘Hypnosis in the News’ section  is all about TV soap opera depictions of hypnosis to have gone on air this week with particular attention being paid to the use of hypnosis to retrieve memories. I have plenty to say on that subject in this edition....

This week’s discussion with guest Jimmy Petruzzi talks all things hypnosis for advancing sports performance. - The Factoid of the week features a study exploring the use of hypnotic communication as a means of reducing fear and pain in women in labour who are about to have an epidural.

Last week's discussion with guest Tim Box discusses Tim's approach to dealing with anxiety, but importantly discusses some of his key challenges and issues with the way mental health is explained and dealt with in the mainstream. 

Last week's 'Hypnosis in the News' section is replaced by Adam picking up where he left off the previous week and talking about how hypnotherapists can apply scientific thinking to their work and life as a hypnotherapist.

In this video I am wearing a foil hat to prevent myself from being mind controlled and to stop Big Pharma from using electromagnetic forces to prevent me spreading the word of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy, because it’ll bring them down and eat their profits…. 

Let’s be honest – it won’t. Governments and Big Pharma are not holding back the hypnotherapy field – conspiracy theory touting, anti-science, anti-intellectual, paranoia inducing hypnotherapists are doing that. 
In this video, I cite some of the reasons for people promoting conspiracy theories in the hypnotherapy field, and I talk about ways to spot these theories and then debunk them – for your own sanity, and for the good of the hypnotherapy field.  

I hope it proves stimulating and useful; enjoy. 

In this video I speak about how to think more like a scientist in every day life. It is me giving pointers on how to apply scientific thinking to your work as a hypnotherapist to advance much of what you do, and also how it can help many other areas of your life. 

There is a lot of what I consider to be lazy thinking in the hypnotherapy field and rather than simply complain about it, I decided to record a video showing how to apply scientific thinking (which is just one way of thinking, and certainly not the only one I recommend) within your clinical hypnotherapy work and in life in general for much benefit and gain. 

I hope it proves useful, enjoy. 

How Hypnotherapists Can Apply Scientific Thinking To Advance Their Clinical Work

I speak with so many people in my professional life who experience insecurity, and in addition to the therapeutic assistance I offer, I tend to give some stock answers that I think all can benefit from – I thought I’d collate some of those answers to form this article.

“Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.” — Stacy London.

We all have insecure moments, but when they become something you think about all the time, and they plague you, you need to do something about it. Self-Confidence is the assurance of your talents, skills, and abilities. In order to feel secure, it helps to believe in yourself.
