Information

EFT Revealed is a new-ish website consisting mainly of interviews with EFT practitioners working in various fields. Each interview is quite short, usually less than 20 minutes.

The range of subjects is impressive. The last four entries have been

• Working with developmentally delayed adults
• Confidence on the golf course
• ‘Compulsive helping disorder’
• Using EFT for Perfectionism

If you are looking for EFT inspiration this is a good place to start.

This is a talk given by Jill Bolte Taylor a neuroanatomist who realised one morning that she was suffering a stroke and used the opportunity to pay attention to what was happening to her.

The video is extraordinary on many levels, inspiring, informative and told in a very dramatic way.

Here’s an excellent variation on an old experiment demonstrating how easy it is to miss the obvious.

It’s a common conceit that we are aware of everything that is going on around us. Unfortunately we only have limited brain power and stuff gets left out, distorted or simplified.

It’s one of the central premises of NLP that we are working on limited information and changing what we are attending to makes a huge difference in our experience.

Sorry about the blip in availability. My ISP decided to change all of my website, email and database passwords (without notice as far I could tell). With some cursing normal service has been resumed.

Bill O’Hanlon therapist, trainer and prolific author has started a series of YouTube videos about recovery from trauma and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). These videos have been prompted by the return of traumatised US soldiers from Iraq although the principles will fit for other traumatic experiences.

The first in the series challenges four common myths and misconceptions about trauma and PTSD

1. Everyone who has a severe trauma develops PTSD.
2. If you develop PTSD you have to have therapy to get over it.
3. You’ll never get over PTSD once you develop it.
4. The only effects of trauma are negative.

You can find out more about his approach to trauma at www.getovertrauma.com

I’ve been lucky enough to attend some of Bill O’Hanlon’s trainings in the UK and I highly recommend him as someone who knows his stuff and walks his talk. I’m looking forward to other videos in this series.

My good friend, and colleague at IntegrityNLP, Nigel Hetherington is running an introduction to hypnosis weekend at the beginning of December here in Newcastle.

This workshop will concentrate on how to use hypnosis for beneficial change work and entering states of relaxation for the purposes of meditation, healing, deep relaxation and stress elimination.

The workshop will run over two days where day one concentrates on the fundamental skills and day two really puts these skills to practical uses.

The two days will be about doing hypnosis so this means the days will mostly consist of practical exercises with short feedback sessions.

Participants will receive a comprehensive set of course notes. This hypnosis workshop take place in Newcastle upon Tyne in early December - just in time to put your new skills into practice over the holiday period!

This introduction is not about stage hypnosis. You wont be able to use this to make someone act like a chicken! However you will learn how to use your other than concious mind for relaxation, stress relief and much more.

Nigel is an excellent trainer and I think you can be guaranteed a very relaxing and rewarding weekend. I think it would make a very pleasant alternative to Christmas shopping.

As some of you may know I’ve been interested in using EFT and other techniques to help the relieve the stress and anxiety of cancer. I think the moment the doctor says “I’m sorry you have cancer” then most people get a huge dose of anxiety and stress to go with disease itself.

I have seen a few individual clients with cancer and done voluntary work with the Northumberland Cancer Support Group. Up to now I’ve always been a bit low key in how I promote this aspect of my work, but I think it’s time to be a bit more explicit about what can be done to help people in this predicament.

From what I’ve seen there is a huge amount of emotional suffering that goes on after the diagnosis. I think EFT, NLP and other techniques can reduce a huge amount of the suffering that goes with the illness. I want to offer these skills to cancer patients and their carers.

If you want to know more about using EFT in cancer care you can find out more on the Cancer Stress Relief page on this site. If you know someone who might benefit from this information please pass it on.
