It is always great to read about people in the public eye who have benefited from hypnotherapy. It all helps to counteract some of the presumptions that people may understandably hold. We have all seen the sensational storylines in TV detective programmes, where the villain hypnotises some poor unsuspecting member of the public to commit some dastardly crime, or seen the stage shows where people do unspeakable things as they are ‘controlled’ by the hypnotist.

 So - how refreshing to see this interview with Jack Dee in Monday’s Daily Telegraph:

In Bryony Gordon’s article, Jack describes how he had suffered from depression and how after having been on various anti-depressants, he had found “another way” - that being hypnotherapy.

Jack says in the article “I always think of it as being a bit of a brain massage. It just sort of resets you. Sometimes you have to switch off and turn it back on again….”.

Those of us who are practitioners are also very aware of how hypnotherapy benefits us too.  Sometimes, as we become aware of our own obstacles or limiting beliefs, and when we realise we are not performing at our best, there is nothing better than seeing a colleague for a bit of a ‘reset’!

It is good to know that people are becoming more and more aware of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for confidence. In this case, Leona Lewis had suffered, like so many of us, with shyness and timidness in front of an audience.

Leona Lewis has hypnotherapy for confidence

Do you find that there are areas of your life where you can be completely confident and in control, and yet there are others where you behave and feel completely differently?

Especially in our work lives. I meet many people, some of whom have senior positions in their organisation, who are very good at their jobs, very compentant individuals, who have great confidence in most areas of their work lives - and yet there may be just one circumstance or situation that fills them with dread. Maybe it is public speaking, maybe running a meeting, maybe negotiations, perhaps in job interviews, maybe even a meeting with their boss.

These are examples of when our behaviour is being driven unconsciously, without our even being consciously aware of why, and that is why Cognitive Hypnotherapy can be so effective, far quicker than you might imagine, in this area of confidence. In just a few sessions you can walk away with the result you want - totally confident and in control.
