Depression can be helped with Hypnotherapy

I have worked with many clients who are just prescribed drugs and a limited number of counselling or CBT sessions. I am not knocking it - these can be useful in cases of Depression. My question is really what do any ofthese things do long term and from a large number of my clients I have come to the conclusion that many of them will have to choose between hypnotherapy / therapy or medication. Medication works in that it takes the edge off - but it takes the edge off everything!

My approach is to try to find the drivers of a person's depression and enable positive strategies to DEAL with it. We all have a "Map of the World" which is based around our perception and the perspective learned from experiences. Many people suffer because their "Map of the World" is deficient and they are suffering needlessly when they could with a shift in mindset begin to find a greater happiness in Life. In my view this is a better long term strategy beacuse it could be easy to settle into this depressed mindset - but for my clients they come to see me because they WANT to move on. One client had had a Mother, Sister and Grandmother and Grandfather ALL with Depression. She has now found a way forward.

I don't claim to be a miracle worker - it takes courage to do this - but it is possible to see the light at the end of the tunnel without it always being a train coming in the oppsoie direction!

Number one on page one of Google

I don't know about anyone else but I am fed up how much time I lose tweaking to follow the latest google changes or employing someone to do the same - it has become ridiculous how much time and money I have had to spend to try to be even on page one for google in Ipswich and Colchester for Hypnotherapy.

My website http://edgehypno.com has ben tweaked - I spent hours researching keywords... I get multiple calls every day fro seo companies offering to put me on page one of google for hypnotherapy. It seems bing / yahoo want to go the same money grabbing way of blackmailing you! I wish someone would go back to basics and bring out a new serarch engine based solely around relevance. So if I am seeking "weight loss hypnosis in Ipswich" - then I am a specialist in hypno gastric band and weight loss hypnotherapy so I should be up there. NOT without tweaking I won't be - because all those competitors spending shedloads of money and time will come up ahead of me even if they are not specialists in that area!

It isn't just me either I have a client who has a pet related business in Ipswich and all sorts of irrleevant slightly related nonsense relegates her to page 5! Dreamweaver and other Adobe products linked to the internet are a fantastic tools don't get me wrong - it is just how the industry surrounding SEO just holds us all over a barrel and forces us to compete to our loss I believe.

Can't someone come out with a back to basics serach engine that everyone uses that seeks for relevance only?

By the way Google Maps continues (at present!) to be one free option for effective seo.... shhhh they will find some way fo charging for it soon!

Stop Smoking with Hypnosis

Why is hypnotherapy one of the top ways to quit smoking? Because if you really want to stop smoking for good you need to address WHY you smoke - this can be because of anxiety stress or because you learned to enjoy it or associate it with a social group. Unfortunately the bad news is that ylou suck 4,000 poisons into your body with each puff and shorten your life it has been calculated by 11 minutes a cigarette - it is playing Russian Roulette with your health as you will have aone in three chance of contracting emphysema cancer or other serious lung disease.

There is more on my website http://edgehypno.com and I offer help in the Ipswich and Colchester area to help you with my 3 part course which will ensure if you really want to stop that you have your best chance of quitting smoking for good.

Panic attacks anxiety stress and depression - hypnosis can help

Panic attacks, anxiety, stress and depression can all be helped with hypnosis using hypnotherapy, hypnoanalysis and NLP. I am an ex Harley Street hypnotherapist based in Manningtree near Colchester Essex and in Hadleigh near Ipswich in Suffolk.

There are many strategies which can help you deal with WHY you may be suffering and we can usually get to the bottom of what is causing the difficulty with hypnoanalysis and make those therapeutic changes that will enable you to get by the problem. This not just a matter of being "all in the mind" but is often also about making adjsutments to your diet and lifestyle to combat these distressing symptoms.

You should feel that you can get beyond these problems and see that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train coming the other way.

In the case of anxiety stress and panic attacks - much of the problem is with the "fight or flight mechanism" which dumps adrenaline into our system to fight the predator or run away - which was useful when we might have been prey to a sabre tooth tiger but most of the time is not helpful in the 21st century - particularly when we try to ignore it so the subconscious feels we haven't noticed and continues to dump more and more adrenaline until we almost pass out!

A little "nerves" or anxiety is fine and natural - indeed sometimes beneficial - but panic attacks anxiety or stress can be connected with an exaggerated response to stimuli. We need to be able to tell our subconscious, which governs our responses, to stop dumping so much adrenaline into our system - that we have noticed the alert and we don't really need that response - and train ourselves to be calmer and more confident in any situation that has given us anxious feelings in the past. This is all possible with hypnosis which enables you to change how you feel and act and get control of the situation.

When you are depressed you may feel that the onset of depression cannot be stopped but there are strategies that can work to help head off most depressive incidents.

Depression Panic Attacks and Anxiety and Stress may feel insurmountable - but it is possible to get through these problems and find a happier life.

Stop smoking for good with Hypnotherapy smoking cessation hypnosis with NLP

I am an experienced stop smoking hypnotherapist on the Suffolk and Essex border in the United Kingdom. Are you looking to quit smoking for good? Nicotine patches are carcinogenic according to the London Times newspaper and most other approaches fail - the highest success rate for smoking cessation is with hypnosis - FACT. The Times article is on my website.

Even celebrated Stop Smoking author Allen Carr stopped smoking with hypnotherapy - he dedicates a single paragraph to that - which would make a short book!

Do you still wonder WHY you should stop smoking?

Well you could read the long list on my website which gives you factual reasons why you really should stop smoking and why hypnosis is the most effective way to quit smoking. The bottom line is that you have a one in three chance of dying prematurely and painfully as a direct result of smoking.

That may seem a reasonable figure to you but let me put it another way: if I gave you a gun with three chambers and told you that only ONE chamber had a live bullet in it and asked you to take the chance of playing Russian Roulette - would you do that?

You may also think that you are young and can give up later but many young people are dying as a result of smoking - the cigarette packet has "Smoking Kills" on it for a reason.

If you think smoking is glamorous consider how many Hollywood stars died as a result of smoking and see the Matt Damon link on my site to see why he called using Hypnotherapy to quit smoking as the "greatest decision of my life".

Quite simply I have been helping people in the Hadleigh Suffolk and Manningtree Essex and Harley Street London areas give up smoking using hypnosis, hypnotherapy and NLP with a high rate of success - we look at why you smoke and give you strategies to combat any reasons for smoking like stress or anxiety and also motivation to give up smoking for good. You can stop smoking and not put on weight too - because the same reasons why you smoke are the same as to why you would overeat. You were ionce a non smoker so you can be one again.

Combat being overweight or obesity with gastric band and weight loss hypnosis

Obesity in the United Kingdom is currently at 69% of the population. In the US it is two thirds. The English are the most obese people in Europe. See my webite for details:

Most people have tried slimming, diets and dieting: Weight Watchers (owned by Heinz!), Slimmers World, Shakes, Grapefruit or cabbage diets, Atkins diet, Cambridge Diet and all the rest - and may have found temporary success and have then stopped dieting and put weight back on. Why? Because they have not addressed reasons why they overeat in the first place - they go back to old ways of eating - they get fed up with all that calorie counting or restricted diets and they don't or "can't" exercise - to really lose weight they need additional motivation and weight loss hypnosis helps with that. Looking at how and when and what they eat is also important.

It is important to make a complete mindset change around eating. Weight loss hypnosis addresses why you may be overeating - whether it be comfort eating, emotional eating, or binge eating through anxiety, stress, greed or because of a childhood relationship with food. There are so many reasons for overeating - and they can be addressed with weight loss hypnosis - I also use hypnoanalysis, NLP and many hypnotherapy techniques - a powerful combination to help the client work with me to address these issues and in fact find greater happioness and startegies to deal with problems in life from depression and anxiety to panic and trauma. I have add in a virtual hypnotic gastric band the HypnoGastricBand which is the final stage to conquer permanently being overweight or obese without yo yo dieting or slimming.

My four part course is fun: it is an adventure and seeks to reconnect you with enjoying slowly and with pleasure great food - some people are actually addicted to certain junk foods full of fat sugar and salt - that is the American Health Authority who say that!

If you're a "food junkie" you are in trouble - there is a burger offered by a well known burger chain - it is a "pizza burger"- which is 2,000 calories for just the burger - add in the sugary drink and the fatty chips and you are in serious excess of your Recommended daily amount of calories and you are eating too much fat sugar and salt which is harmful to you.

We were once hunters and gatherers and are programmed to eat a lot - but we don't get exercise chasing our prey - and many people get no exercise at all - or hate exercise - so there are lots of calories eaten which are just not burnt off - is it a surprise that many of us are many pounds overweight or even obese?

Meal deals and ready meals seem to be the easy option. A typical "meal deal" may have white bread, meat full of water sugar and salt, a margarine full of trans fats and preservatives - a bit of healthy salad smothered in fatty mayonnaise and fatty crisps - 11% fat typically - with a coke with twelve teaspoons of sugar and caffeine! It may say it is low in calories but it is full of stuff that is harmful!

Ready meals are also stuffed with cheap fat sugar and salt ... we have been taught to love the stuff - and this is a recipe for health problemsr. You can eat cheaply without buying rubbish food! The processed food manufacturers that sell you this harmful stuff are making a bomb out of making you unhealthy.

There is a serious side to all of this: Imagine one sigle pound of lard.

How big is that? Visualise it.

Now imagine fourteen of those pounds. A rucksacks worth would you think? That is one stone or fourteen pounds. If I asked you to put on that rucksack and carry it about all day you would tell me to get lost ... or words to that effect. Yet people are doing this every day carrying excess pounds around. And 69% of the United Kingdom population are carrying much more than ONE stone excess weight. What does this do? It puts pressure on your back, knees, joints, it restricts breathing - and can lead to heart attacks, osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes shortening your life or making it uncomfortable. If you have any of this already or blood pressure or are just a bit overweight or suffer from obesity (BMI Over 30) then you need to seriously consider weight loss hypnosis.

My approach is that I offer a combination of nutritional advice, humour, motivation, addressing your issues around food, anxiety, stress, emotions, self punishment, self defence or whatever with hypnotherapy and hypnoanalysis plus reframing using NLP.

The combination of factors of this weight loss hypnosis approach tackles underlying issues and this is not just about weight loss - but about finding greater happiness and confidence and strategies to deal with problems in Life.

My hypnotherapy practice is on the Suffolk Essex border - which is apparently of the worst areas in England for obesity. But obesity, or just being a few stone overweight, can be helped with weight loss hypnotherapy hypnosis hypnoanalysis NLP and good nutritional advice.

In cases of BMI over 30, so called clinically obese, I also add in Gastric Band hypnosis to my weight loss programme. I have helped many people with these finely tuned programmes in and out of Harley Street - and my experience shows that you really can lose weight permanently and keep it off.

The other alternative if you are clinically obese is a real gastric band, lap band, gastric bypass or stomach stapling which can cost up to £7,000 and has been known to be risky as all operations can be.

With the virtual gastric band I "fit" it under hypnosis and you feel as though it is in place. Hypnosis is perfectly safe - no-one ever died of hypnosis!

What is a real gastric band? It is basically a hollow band which is fitted around the upper part of your stomach to form a small pouch - when it is full it sends a signal to your hypothalmus which is the governer of your appetite so you feel much fuller sooner than normal.

The food then passes through the restriction and it is then digested as normal.

The hollow band has a connected tube which links to an access port in your abdomen through which the gastric band can be tightened or loosened easily with saline solution.

For me the virtual hypnotic gastric band or HypnoGastricBand tm is similar to a safety belt. At the end of my weight loss hypnotherapy course you should feel that you could see a large buffet and select as an intelligent eater - enjoying your food but knowing how to choose wisely.
