In a bid to encourage unemployed youngsters in parts of Scotland to go out and find work, the council asked hypnotherapist to the stars Paul Mckenna to give an inspirational seminar.

The event was staged at Hampden Park in Glasgow and has been organised as part of the SDS Get Ready to work programme, which is aimed at teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 who are not in school or further education.

The programme has sent more than 800 unemployed youngsters to four half day events and is now sending six hundred to Hampden park with Paul Mckenna.

McKenna was allegedly paid a 20,000 fee, which some have criticised as a bad use of the public purse saying the money could have gone toward apprenticeships. On the opposing side, others have said that it is an innovative and forward thinking method of getting through to youngsters.

Dan was unsure of when his phobia begun but he recalled feeling anxious at the age of 8 or 9 for days before injections were scheduled. His anxiety would increase as the appointment drew nearer.

At Dan’s first hypnotherapy session his hypnotherapist explained to him that the aim would be to discover the origin of the fear.

After being taken into a deeply relaxed state the hypnotherapist began to discuss his past with him. Dan reported feeling a strange sensation and was surprised to find out that his session had lasted an hour as he was unaware of the time passing even thought he was aware of what was happening around him.

Initially he did not recall any relevant memories but then they just popped into his head.
Dan remembered being 5 or 6 and playing on the third floor of his family home. He stepped on a stuffed animal that apparently had a pin in it. The pin stuck in his foot. We think it was a pin because he described it as a needle with a big head.

Dan recalled this incident very vividly and even though he describe his dad pulling the pin out, nether he or Dan’s mother remember it happening.

The next time Dan went for an injection he was able to sit calmly without feeling anxious of nauseas.

It was found that women who received psychotherapy and instruction and practice in hypnosis reported significantly less pain and suffering over time, compared with the other group who did not receive any of the above treatments.

Alopecia is a condition in which stress causes patches of hair loss on the scalp, often resulting in a similar effect to that of a patient experiencing hair loss through chemotherapy.

With such a huge emphasis on looking outwardly beautiful these days, it is no wonder that Alopecia sufferers and those experiencing any kind of hair loss develop severe self esteem issues, which only causes the situation to escalate.

A study conducted in the International Journal Of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis about the effects of hypnosis when used for the treatment of Alopecia showed extremely positive results.

28 Alopecia patients took part in the study and were selected because they did not respond to traditional treatment. Twelve of the participants showed a significant improvement after hypnotherapy treatment, 4 of which suffered complete hair loss. As well as hypnotherapy for the purpose of hair regrowth, the group also had sessions which were intended to reduce stress and all subjects showed significant improvement with all experiencing lower symptoms of stress levels, anxiety and depression.

In this case, hypnotherapy is not only successful in promoting hair growth, but it is also a side effect free way of reducing stress and other symptoms of Alopecia.

We have all been guilty of emotional eating at some point. Who hasn’t come home from a horrible day at work or after a fight with our partners and looked to see what we can find in the fridge, our favourite ice cream perhaps or a big bar of chocolate. This is of course fine but only as long as we don’t get into the habit of doing it all the time.

It isn’t just emotional eating that is habit based, boredom also causes eating trends as many of us tend to eat because we have nothing else to do as opposed to eating when we are hungry.

However, if these little eating trends turn into habits, eating to cope with stress or to relax will soon start to make you feel guilty as we can see ourselves gorging on certain foods. This is what cause yo yo dieting and is the beginning of us depriving ourselves of certain foods.

In all these examples, it is the act of eating itself that becomes important, rather than thinking about enjoying the food we are eating. Habits of eating like this are negative and over time can lead to weight gain and other problems. This is why weight loss hypnotherapy can be so effective.

A hypnotherapist will help you to build up a positive set of habits and eating patterns and will also help you to use your imagination to visualise a happy, confident you who has a healthy relationship with food.
