Sunday April 26th… the final day of my hypnotherapy course. All the case studies handed in, practice hours complete, and now we wait to find out if we have passed, and can work on the unsuspecting public !

It has been a fantastic year that has changed all of us in many ways. The three main changes for me have been having the confidence to go and get a new and exciting job, changing my eating habits and therefore losing quite a bit of weight, and losing my anxiety over Christmas.

Next year’s course starts on 14th June, covering counselling and psychotherapy, so a few weeks off before I start that.

Tonight our group met to practice some of the new stuff we have learnt in our last class. We are comfortable with our learning to date, having seen success with standard PMRs, deepeners, and suggestions for sleeping, self confidence, nail biting, and simple cases of anxiety. We have now learnt rapid induction techniques, which we really need to practice but we are quite cautious of at the moment. We had some good practice tonight, but really need to keep it going.

I am having some hypnotherapy from the group to help me to cope with the anxiety and stress in the run up to Christmas. I hope it works !
