What trauma may look like
Today we're looking at 8 ways in which trauma may present itself. I first came across people dealing with trauma back in the early 90's whilst working at a psychiatric hospital in England. Of course back then, trauma wasn't really something which was understood by the average m'man on the street'. However, fast forward 30+ years later and I don't really have to define it for many of us to grasp what it means. If we haven't endured at least one traumatic experience in our lives, I willing to bet that you know somebody who has. I feel I should start by saying that only a small percentage of people who experience trauma will develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). So that said, what exactly is trauma? Or more to the point PTSD? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is … [Read more...] about What trauma may look like

Are you in control of your destiny?
Have you ever wondered about the destiny of your clinical hypnotherapy practice? Lately, I've been questionning how much of this is in our own hands...and how much of it is simply in the hands of others...or whether much of it is down to a really big slice of luck. What are your thoughts? After weighing everything up for a while, I've reached the conclusion that the destiny of my own clinical hypnotherapy practice is partly wherever I want it to be.

But how many of us know friends in such high places? And for those of us who don't have friends … [Read more...] about Are you in control of your destiny?
