This March the Newcastle hypnotherapy group is focusing on the practice of fostering and sponsoring a change process in a mutual therapeutic alliance.  This process with concentrate on creating a space, a safe space where clients can connect with and to their own powerful internal resources with a not to hard, not to soft but middle path into a hypnotic state where change can be supported.

This is an opportunity to create change that is based in a non-verbal experience and has the depth that is more sustainable and general talk based therapies like CBT or counselling. Here the emphasis is on not talking but to create the space in trance where a bodily or somatic representation of the symptom or specific area of intentioned change is to be welcomed and supported and encouraged to evolve in its own organic way.

This process lends itself to working with physical and emotional problems; where a problem is defined as something like a block or barriers to achieving something of genuine benefit. This process will also lend itself to problems of the non physical, non-emotional kind … if such kinds exist at all.

A long term favourite and particularly effective hypnotic induction and deeper is the Elman style hypnosis induction. It is a rather rapid technique at inducing trance in most people and it is  very easy to learn. The Elman style induction combines tactile experience with repeated suggestion and deepening techniques.

More often learning one or more techniques to introduce trance usually moves to an important question for the hypnotist. The question being “Once someone is in trance what to do next?” This great question can be translated into how do you go about helping someone change?

This month at the Trance Cafe you will learn how to facilitate client change. So as well as learning the Elman style induction we also get to learn and use ‘The Room of Change’. The Room of Change is both a guided and emergent change metaphor to use with your clients and friends to do almost content free change work.

This is for me one of the most important
Distinctions I have shared in my newsletters.

This is so powerful yet simple you may not initially
Fully appreciate the significance of this question.

This is a distinction and equally a ‘Meta Model’
Question that was created by one of my good
Friends and original NLP trainers. This is from
Mike Treasure, who is one of the currently unsung yet
Oceanically deep NLP developers and practitioners.

When Bandler and Grinder first began teaching
What is know as the first NLP model, The Meta Model
The story goes they taught it without any explicit
Use of rapport ( Rapport is said to have come from
The third NLP Model ) and the results were very interesting.

Friends and families fell out with each other. People got
Punched and kicked. Small kittens were scorned and it is
Said that some cried and created work for therapists.
Relationships were rocked to their foundations. Not just
Because of a lack of rapport but as well a lack of understanding
The purpose behind the Meta Model interventions …

The Meta Model of Bandler and Grinder is a linguistic tool
Kit. It is designed to uncover Deep Structure and at the
Same time force a re-evaluation of ‘unhelpful’ and ‘stuck’
States or thought process. It is an amazing tool, when
It is used well. It can also be a rapport killing problem creator.

I invite you to check your own experience of being
Meta Modelled by people. When applied without
Skill or purpose or rapport The Meta Model can
Become a very sharp scalpel making incisions and
Cuts where not are required, invited or needed.

The Meta Model and honest rapport not to
Mention compassion go hand in hand. But Please
Note I say compassion not empathy. No need to
Feel other peoples pain in order for you to help!

Now, having set the scene here is Mike Treasures
Excellent and Secret in the sense of only known
To a very few, Meta Model Question. Ask this of
Yourself BEFORE you go wielding the Meta scalpel.

“Can I say the same is true about me?”

This is a wonderful way to help people stop making
Unrefined incisions, Uncaring cuts and being a Slasher.

Asking yourself this before hand will really help you
With Rapport, Compassion and the Intention behind
Your Meta Modelling : Meta Meddling : Metal Mudding

Try this self reflexive Secret Meta Model Question and
Improve your 2nd and 3rd Position’s ( META ) too …

This January’s New Year Trance Cafe is a excellent way to begin 2012 – This is a Well -Being Workshop.

During 2012 as well as lots of practice and application of hypnotherapy skills, I am also going to be using the trance Cafe to offer some excellent and additional complementary skill sets for personal and professional wellbeing. Integrating additional skill sets is something I consider vitally important for continued professional development ( CPD ) and personal growth.

My good friend and college Tony MacDonald will be sharing his considerable skills in TuiNa Chinese massage for healing and well being.  Tony is an internationally recognised Master Practitioner in TuiNa and has recently returned from India where he has added some very interesting new skills into his healing and well being work.  Tony has decades of practising healing from his well known and respected background  as a top martial arts instructor in the North East.

TuiNa is a massage technique that works on the muscles and ‘energy meridians’ that will be familiar concepts for those of us familiar with Chi Kung,  Acupuncture and emotional freedom technique ( EFT ). This two hour session in Newcastle will give you hands, very practical ways to help your friends and family not just top up their well being ( one of the benefits of massage ) but be able to help with muscular aches and pains.

Our evening together will be packed full of practice of Chi Kung breathing exercises and well structured TuiNa massage techniques which are going to be interlaced with healing hypnotherapist language.

Creating, fostering and utilising hypnotic phenomenon is a very real demonstration of the power to change in hypnosis. In this clip from weekend two of a five weekend Clinical Hypnotherapy training, Nigel demonstrates and utilises various forms of Arm Catalepsy with students.

Lots of language patterns, utilisation and paying attention to what is available.

As there is no NLP Cafe in this December 2011. Here is a Milton Model audio download to practice the ”Extended Quote” pattern.

This audio is all about listening and doing and most importantly how to practice to absorb this skill into an unconscious competence.

The Trance Cafe is back in January 2012 with a focus on well-being as well as hypnosis language and practice.

So please click here to download your complementary 30 minute hypnosis audio from Nigel Hetherington as a learning device for hypnosis language patterns.

See you January 2012!

This November at the Trance Cafe is rapid hypnotic inductions and trance phenomena.

Many hypnotists and therapists are not comfortable with eliciting trance phenomena with their clients in case it doesn’t work. Learning to more carefully calibrate your clients or the people you are hypnotizing will let you know more confidently what kind of trance phenomena you can go for. Trance phenomena like stuck hands, immobile feet, name amnesia or positive and negative hallucinations are all on the cards this month.

Now whether you choose to use these skills for entertainment or for therapy work is up to you. The evening is going to be a fun exploration of rapid hypnosis leading into trance phenomena. With Nigel Hetherington and my colleague John Penman, who is a stage magician and hypnotist.

The evening will consist of lots of rapid induction demonstrations and even more practice for you. Come along and learn how to rapidly induce trance and see how many hypnotic phenomena you can experience in one evening.

This October the Newcastle Hypnotherapy and NLP Study group is presented by Martin D Thornton.

Martin’s web site opens with the very apt “Warning – My Way Of Working Is Not Everyone’s Cup Of  Tea” and this is a very apt introduction setting the frame for Martin’s way of working with clients.

Martin says that honesty is the best policy. He also says that laughter is the best medicine. Martin puts both of these together: “I’m a plain-speaking Yorkshireman who believes clients need an outsider’s honest view of what’s going wrong in their lives in order to help them put it right, and who de-clutters their minds via their funny bone to help them do it”. Like Oscar Wilde said, “If you want to tell someone the truth, you had better make them laugh, or they’ll kill you.”

Although still guided by the tenets of NLP Martin doesn’t do typical NLP and his methods are now more CBT (Clowning aBout Therapy). As someone who stands out from the crowd, Martin’s style is unlike most practitioners. Known for being daft and saying silly things, he builds rapport by making (most) people laugh and in doing so creates the trust that’s needed to help people to have a better life than they imagine is possible for them. In fact, his greatest enjoyment is watching a client’s attitude change from ultra serious and worried about their future to realising things aren’t that bad and they can cope with whatever life throws at them.

Martin is blessed with a truly warped mind (his clients say he is crazier than they are) and that is why Martin sees things from a very different perspective, which he then reflect back using humour – sometimes droll and dry and sometimes slapstick (how many therapists do you know behave like a silverback gorilla or sing to their clients?).

Get up close an personal with the creator of SilverBack Coaching ( TM ) [ Martin looks like a Silver Back Gorilla ] and bring your problems and worries along for a full on and experiential adventure of the mind and body that may well lead you to some gut wrenching laughter and a very different view of that old problem.

We certainly do live in interesting times don’t we? Take a look and listen at what is going on in our region, what is going on in the UK and what is going on in and around the World.

Riots, Wars, Unemployment, Shops Closing, Rising Inflation, Petrol & Fuel Increases … and it can all way too easily feel like a very worrying time to be alive.

Have you ever wondered how some people can seemingly be unaffected by a less than positive world and somehow continue to remain upbeat. In other words, how is it they don’t seem to worry or succumb to their own fears and anxieties?

We usually can’t always do a great deal about external events in the world but … We can do a huge amount about how we respond and think in response to the outside world. We can also do a great deal of really simple practices that bring us to Inner Peace and from this place we can be more fully in our world.

How will it be if you can have some really robust tools that are both easy to learn and highly practical to help you gain a better state of mind and rediscover your inner peace.

Well there really are a great deal of ways this kind of state of mind can be achieved. Come along to this Trance Cafe to experience a powerful synthesis of NLP, Hypnotherapy and Eastern meditative practices that you can use in your life and share with your clients. Tuesday 13th September, Newcastle with Nigel Hetherington.
