Years ago, if you had a subscription for anything, it was most likely for a magazine, your TV/internet, or a gym. But nowadays, you could have a subscription for almost anything! A wine club, meal delivery service, kids educational materials, even dog toys and treats! Subscriptions usually come in one of three forms: Access - access can be unlimited or limited. For example, a movie club might allow a certain number of downloads per day. Re-stock - for example, have your pet food ordered and delivered automatically on the same day each month. Acquisition - often curated related items with a particular theme, such as a gin club, featuring gin curated by top gin experts. When did it all start? I can't recall exactly when I noticed the proliferation of subscription services, … [Read more...] about Why are subscription models so popular and how does this apply to my role as a hypnotherapist??

Do I have time to study a hypnotherapy course?
Introduction This article aims to have you consider the question 'do I have time to study a hypnotherapy course'? We introduce you to our handy time-gap analysis tool which you can download free of charge. Download here >>> Hypnotic Universe Time Gap Analysis. Why the tool was created I know it seems like a 'no-brainer' to say that you must have enough time to support studying (or be able to make that time) but the truth is that some students do vastly under-estimate how much time is required. They have admitted this in their own exit questionnaires. We all learn at different rates and all courses have different requirements, therefore there isn't a hard and fast rule here. However, it's a good idea to do a time inventory to determine how much free time you actually have. … [Read more...] about Do I have time to study a hypnotherapy course?
Kintsugi applied to life
We all know that life can be very challenging at times. When life gets challenging, we might find that we start to see damage, just like a fragile china teacup might get chipped, cracked, or even shatter. And when that happens, all we want is for things to go back to the way they were (can you resonate with that?). But it's impossible. All we can do is start working hard at the repairs...finding each separate little piece and piecing them back together again, like a jigsaw. Sometimes you might pick up the wrong pieces and you might need to try again, but as time moves on, your progress moves on, if you continue working your way through the pieces and doing the work. Have you ever heard on Kintsugi? This is a Japanese concept where a shattered pot is lovingly restored by piecing it … [Read more...] about Kintsugi applied to life
3 ways your adult relationships can be influenced by your childhood relationships
If you're an adult who constantly has difficult with relationships, this blog post might help you understand the origin of these difficulties. It doesn't matter whether it's a sexual partner, family, friend, colleague or business partner. Here's 3 ways your adult relationships may be influenced by your childhood relationships: Reason 1 If your home was chaotic when you were being raised, you may now find it difficult to calm that threat response now that you're an adult. Therefore, you might find yourself hiding away and shutting people out, trying to control your surroundings and other people. You may even find yourself becoming reliant on only one person who makes you feel safe. Such as your husband, for example. This isn't ideal because it can strain relationships. Reason 2 If … [Read more...] about 3 ways your adult relationships can be influenced by your childhood relationships
Why hypnotherapy practices should build their own marketing assets
If you're a professional hypnotherapist, you might appreciate the tip we're sharing with you today. Regardless of your practice size, we believe that you should set up your own hypnotherapy/wellness/practice email/mailing list, or other content on a system that you "own".You do not "own" your account on Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform. Therefore, if you build your business on someone else’s (social media, or other) platform and it starts to decline in popularity, your primary online marketing property will be stranded. Don't get stranded! This isn't to say that you should never post on your social media pages, it's saying that you shouldn't make it all about them. We offer hypnotherapy: Online and face to … [Read more...] about Why hypnotherapy practices should build their own marketing assets

Depression: why withdrawing from the world keeps you ‘stuck’
If you're struggling with low mood and a feeling of "I can't be bothered to do anything right now", this post was written for you. I want to tell you something that many people do when they're depressed, and it's something that keeps them stuck exactly where they are. Low mood essentially generates a powerful urge to do just about everything that will keep you stuck whwre you are, ultimately making your mood worse. For example, say you wake up and you just don't feel good. The natural urge - or the trap that many depressed people fall into - is to cancel your plans, stay in bed and just hide away from the world and everybody in it. And let's be honest sometimes we do need that, right? But the problem is that doing this is addictive because, once you decide to avoid something, you get … [Read more...] about Depression: why withdrawing from the world keeps you ‘stuck’

The process starts by first observing the environment and taking in the surroundings. Next, the person identifies: 5 things they can see in as much detail as possible. 4 things they can … [Read more...] about 2 ways to get in touch with nature
