Stopping smoking Testimonials

"I suspect you get little feedback on your sessions so I just wanted to let you know that since I came to see you in November 2003 I haven't even thought about cigarettes, let alone been tempted. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and really cannot understand why everybody doesn't try this method".
Tim

"Dear Robert, thanks for help with the Stop Smoking session that we did together. I don't remember all of what you said, but whatever you said did the trick! I was at a rugby function a few months after our session and this is where I would have normally been at my most venerable for a cigarette. I can tell you that I didn't even get tempted, and now just the smell of them puts me off"! Link to stop smoking
Mark

"I had been smoking for over 40 years before I met Robert for our stop smoking session. He made it easy for me to understand why I struggled to stop smoking before. Rob helped me to change the way I looked at my old habit of smoking and so develop a new positive approach to being a non-smoker.The funny thing is now i don't even think about smoking anymore. I just wish I had done the session years ago it would have saved me a lot of money"!

Improving your game of golf can be greatly enhanced by your mindset, Being totally focussed and positive will allow you to play to your highest potential every time.

Two quotes from the games greats legends of golf.

Arnold Palmer

* Eating
* Shopping
* Spending
* Sexual activity

Testimonial about gambling

‘I have a long standing gambling addiction which I am in desperate need of removing from my life. It interferes with my comfort and integrity to the extent that I am now finding it unbearable.’

This was the email I sent to Rob in January this year when the gambling was at its worst. I started a course of analytical hypnotherapy a few weeks after and it has changed my life. I am no longer lured by the flashing lights of the fruit machines or feel the need to go into the bookies. I also have a new found respect for my money and the fact that I no longer have to cover up my gambling means I don’t have lie to my wife and family. Things couldn’t be better for us.
Rick

Addictions are always destructive and can cause physical, mental, emotional and social problems. This can destroy relationships with both family and friends and subsequently lead to a lonely existence.

The person with an addiction may well be in denial of their problems and so ignore their symptoms, even when those symptoms are staring them straight in the face. They may find that not only are they lying to other people about their addiction they also start lying to themselves.

The first step of any recovery from an addiction is recognising that there is a problem. Once this has been established then the healing process can begin.

How can Hypnotherapy help?

Similar drives or urges are responsible for addictions; whether it be to alcohol, gambling, drugs etc. Whatever the addiction, it is often driven by an inner need that usually responds well to hypno-analysis (Analytical Hypnotherapy)

Anorexia Nervosa

People with this eating disorder worry about their weight and food more than other people. They are often under weight and fear being fat. The sufferer may go to great lengths to avoid eating and may use laxatives or even cause themselves to be sick should they eat any food. Though Anorexia Nervosa is more common in teenage girls and young women it is can also affect older women and men.

Some of the symptoms can be:

* Not being able to admit you have a problem
* Worrying about putting on weight and getting fat
* Thinking you are fat even when you are under weight for your height and size
* Not wanting treatment

Bulimia Nervosa

If you suffer from bulimia you will at times lose control and eat vast amounts of food. You then worry that you will put on weight and so take drastic actions like making yourself sick, taking laxatives, or doing excess exercise trying to burn off all the food you have eaten so you do not gain weight. You keep all of this a secret from people as you may feel guilty or ashamed of your actions.

Some of the symptoms can be:

* Thinking about food all the time
* Losing control and binging on foods in secret
* Making yourself sick, taking laxatives, or doing excessive exercise after you have eaten in order to get rid of the calories
* Being caught in a vicious circle of emptying your stomach, feeling calm for a while, then eating compulsively again

Binge eating disorder

This is where the sufferer binges on huge amounts of food but do not try to avoid gaining weight by vomiting or using laxatives. You may have feelings of hating yourself and feeling low and depressed.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Hypnotherapy and hypno-analysis are effective in helping people with eating disorders to discover the cause of their eating disorder and allows them to take back control of their lives.

What are obsessions and OCD?

This problem is a serious anxiety-related condition that affects as many as three in a hundred people.

At Wessex Hypnotherapy Centre in Bournemouth and Poole every client is treated in a friendly, sensitive manner, and you can rest assured of the strictest confidentiality.

Most people suffering from obsessions or OCD experience repetitive, intrusive and unwelcome thoughts, images, impulses and doubts which they find hard to ignore.
The sufferer will try in vain to reduce their feelings of anxiety in some form of activity for example:

* Constantly washing their hands
* Worrying about germs
* Checking door locks or cooker switches
* Wanting everything to be just perfect
* Constant negative thought patterns
* Always cleaning everything
* Counting and hoarding things
* Partaking in endless rumination

The obsessional will often find that after doing their activity they never seem to feel any better, and still do not have that peace of mind that they were searching for. So the circle of behaviour continues without any real satisfaction achieved.
What are compulsions?

Compulsions are an irresistible urge to perform a certain task or activity. The person will feel some reward for their actions, maybe even a feeling of satisfaction for a while. When the stress and tension in this persons life increases their compulsive behaviour will also increase often causing feelings of guilt for their actions. Some of their behaviour patterns may include:

* Binge drinking
* Gambling
* Drug addictions
* Comfort eating
* Touching objects/people
* Counting
* Putting something down or picking something up

How Can Hypnotherapy help?

Hypno-analysis can be extremely effective in removing the symptoms of the problem, allowing you to once again to enjoy your life.

Effective treatment for Pain Management using Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy in Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.

Pain Management and Pain Control

With the help of hypnosis it is possible to enable you to have more control over your pain, and most importantly control without the use of drugs. Hypnosis can affect physical changes, enhancing the person’s own immune system, decreasing tension and stress, and providing you with hopeful expectation. It can even help those illnesses and injuries that cannot be healed. These methods can provide and bring about an improved quality of life

In the real world we cannot avoid stress, but what is most significant is that we recognise it and deal with it effectively because then we can allow ourselves to have more control over the way we react and enable us to be considerably more relaxed.
Every thought produces an emotion of some kind and every emotion produces a bodily effect. Your mind affects your body and your body affects your mind. Therefore, if one of these is affected then you may find yourself feeling unbalanced, like a seesaw effect.Your mind has the power to forget but your body doesn’t.

Using hypnosis and hypnotherapy

Whether you are looking for relief from chronic or acute pain, visiting the dentist or are about to have an operation, hypnosis can help you reduce and in many cases totally alleviate the pain. The pain management techniques taught within the session are very special and effective. However, your Doctors referral for pain management is ESSENTIAL because pain is a signal/symptom that something is wrong with your body. This is why quite often with the treatment that is provided we don’t totally alleviate the pain but reduce it down, in a controllable manner, to a manageable level.

It is also explained- and indeed taught- to the client how they can reduce and manage their own pain. As mentioned earlier, pain can be caused by stress and emotional turmoil and quite often the hypno-analysis can provide an extremely quick and effective way of resolving this emotional pain.

Even those experiencing the heights of what appears to be a hopelessness of ill health can get back some of that sense of control and can relieve much of that stress, therefore improving their health and in particular their feeling of well-being.

Social phobia

Successful treatment for social phobia, the fear of being put on the spot, shyness, blushing, and feeling embarrassed in Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne and Dorset using hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

This is best described as a feeling of being put on the spot, fear of being of being embarrassed, humiliated or judged. Symptoms may also include a feeling of being out of breath, almost like a panic attack, excessive perspiring and a feeling of anxiety. A recent report in the U.S. concluded that up to 13% of the adult population suffer from this.

The D.S.M. IV (the mental health 'bible') lists social anxiety as: "A marked and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible scrutiny by others. The individual fears that he/she will act in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing.

What does this feel like?

Situations such as social events like dinner parties, going out to meet other people or just going to the shops can prove to be a real nightmare for the social phobic. Their symptoms often include panic attacks, fear of being rejected, a feeling of not being good enough and being concerned how people see you. Blushing easily, no confidence, a lack of eye contact, are also common experiences.

Sufferers may also suffer from making phone calls and worry continually about a forth coming event.

There is often a fear of meeting new people, and the social phobic will keep their ideas and thoughts to themselves for fear of being ridiculed.

As stated earlier some of the physical symptoms experienced can be a panic attack, excessive perspiration, having dizzy spells, your heart pounding, or just being out of control.

How can Hypnotherapy help?

Social phobia always starts in childhood and often the symptoms may get progressively worse as times goes by.

Analytical therapy (hypno-analysis) is an extremely effective way of finding out what the root cause of the problem is. With the use of hypnosis and hypno-analysis the root cause of the anxiety can be located and so the negative emotions that surround the problem can be released thus dissolving the problem for good.

When the emotions are released the symptoms disappear and the result is a much more confident self assured outgoing person. Help for social phobia using hypnotherapy and hypnosis is available in Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding areas of Dorset.

Effective treatment for IBS in Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne and Dorset using hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

What is irritable bowel syndrome?

Symptoms of IBS include abdominal discomfort or pain, usually in the lower abdomen; the location and intensity are variable, even at different times within the same person. There may be a change to your normal bowel habit; a change in frequency or consistency, chronic or recurrent diarrhoea or constipation.

Irritable bowel syndrome can be a very debilitating problem holding people back from enjoying the full life style they desire. They may be unable to work, attend social events, or even travel short distances. Up to 20% of the adult population has symptoms of IBS, which appears more often in women than men. High levels of stress and tension cause can cause the symptoms of IBS to increase, quiet often making it impossible for the sufferer to leave their house.

What can I do now?

I would always advise a person to first consult their doctor to be sure that there is not a medical reason for their symptoms.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Hypno-analysis (Analytical Hypnotherapy) is a very effective therapy is treating IBS using cause and effect therapy. Once the bottled up emotions are released that are connected to the cause of the IBS then the symptoms then can cease to be, allowing you to be free from your past thoughts and feelings.

SEXUAL PROBLEMS

Successful treatment for Impotence, Premature Ejaculation and Vaginisimus in Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne and Dorset using hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

What treatment is available?

Most people find it difficult to discuss these private matters. At Wessex Hypnotherapy centre in Bournemouth and Poole every client is treated in a friendly, sensitive manner, and you can rest assured of the strictest confidentiality. From my experience sexual problems respond well to hypnotherapy, and hypno-analysis is an effective way of dealing with the symptoms.

Impotence

Impotence is a very common and distressing problem for men, this is where men experience difficulty to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual activity. Understandably this can cause many other issues such as a feeling of failure, rejection, and inadequacy, which can also affect the relationship between partners.

Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is another sexual problem that affects many men; a premature ejaculation problem is a persistent or recurrent experience of ejaculating too quickly with minimum sexual stimulation. This is found to be more prominent in younger males, and can lead to a lack of confidence, or low self-esteem.

Vaginisimus

Vaginisimus is an upsetting problem for women, when it causes sex to become very painful due to the intense involuntary contractions around the genitals. Symptoms can include genital pain, loss of libido or sex drive.
Lack of sex drive or libido

Quite often when people are stressed, feeling nervous or anxious then the first thing that can be affected is the sex drive of that person, they just don’t want to be close or intimate with their partner. They may avoid any contact fearing that this may lead to having sex. This may then cause problems within their relationship leading to difficult times, arguments and even more stress.

The list below shows other problems that are associated with sexual problems

* Fear of sex
* Fear of penetration
* Fetishes
* Frigidity
* Low self esteem
* Stress
* Anxiety
* Emotional issues
* Relationship problems

Sexual difficulties respond well to hypno-analysis and the above examples are just a few of these explained in more detail

Hypnotherapy for children

Effective treatment for children and teenagers such as fear of needles, bedwetting and lack of confidence in Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne and Dorset using hypnotherapy and hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy for children and teenagers.

At Wessex Hypnotherapy located close to Bournemouth and Poole Robert Clarke has found that children and teenagers respond very well to hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
They normally enjoy the session and think of it as a liberating experience.

Quite often only one session of therapy will be needed which can give incredible results.

Parents have often tried many other forms of treatment but find that hypnotherapy is a fast and effective way to deal with and resolve many problems and issues. As Rob works with children he is fully CRB checked.
The "Blowaway" Technique

This is a single relaxing session of hypnotherapy that has been designed specifically for use with children. It allows them to release their anxiety, worries or phobias so that the child/teenager can go forward with their own development without being hampered from their past negative feelings, worries or problems.

This simple but fun technique encourages the child to take a deep breath and blow away any of the negative feelings or bottled up emotions they may have. This allows the child to progress much easier with their own personal development.

To finish the session positive suggestions are given not only for relaxation and calmness but also in order that the child will experience more control and direction in the decisions they make:

The blow away technique is an effective tool when used to help problems such as:

* Bedwetting (Enuresis)
* Low confidence issues
* Thumb sucking
* Nightmares/irregular sleeping patterns
* School issues
* Phobias, fears and anxiety
* Lack of concentration
* Feelings of being sad, unhappy, upset, stressed or embarrassed.
* Food issues such as anorexia or bulimia

When seeing a child under the age of 16 years I always insist on a parent or guardian being present during the session.
