Fighting, Property, Mindsets.
I'm lucky. Lucky lucky lucky. I get to work with a whole bunch of people. Not just people who come to have Hypnosis in my Hypnotherapy Practice over here in Leafy Woodford Green. Not just people who need help to change, get rid of a habit or get over something. No, I...
Dancing with Daddy, Choking by Children
Some wonderful moments this week with my son. Started off having a sneaky dance with my son to 'Tank Park Salute' by Billy Bragg - a song all about the fading memories a son has of his father. It always hits me right in the gut, painfully so, but it made me really...
Making good Pavlova
This weekend I had two Fighter's Mind Clients in title fights. One was a defence for an English Unlicensed Boxing Belt, the other was a shot at the title for a Mixed Martial Arts (Cagefighting) belt. I'm pleased to say, both fighters were successful. (I was holding my...
First Impressions – sometimes they don’t last – and why that’s a good thing.
"First Impressions last" we're all told. That may be true. Even for most of the time. But I've noticed not all of the time. I recall when I started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Must be about two and half years ago now I guess. I remember sparring or 'rolling' as...
Same but different: Hypnosis styles ~ The Super Sophist vs the Hypno-Juggernaut
I had a great time last night. I was hosting a call between Two Hypnotists - namely James Tripp and Jeff Stephens. James who's a 'Super-Sophist' - and Jeff Who's a 'Hypno-Juggernaut'. Two guys, and only one should have survived. That certainly was my plan anyway - ...
Another PR Disaster for Hypnosis – Dangerous? Witchcraft?
Ah Jeez. As I've mentioned before, I check the headlines pretty much every day to see what's going on in the world of all manner of Brain and Hypnosis related stuff! Today was a bit of a clanger. I found an article, related only by the fact they're about Hypnosis....
What do my Mum, the English Boxing Champ, the National Karate Coach and James Tripp got in common?
Well gang, the answer is... I was lucky enough to communicate and spend time with them today. The context changed, but the enjoyment of the company and the person was the same, if different in each interaction. The day started with working the Unlicensed...
With great children comes great responsibility…
Parenting. Not the easiest thing in the world is it? Even if you're Ben White from Kidmunication! There's a whole bunch of interesting child and parenting related research articles I've scalped for you today that are interesting, challenging and you know what - ...
The Smell of Death, the smell of Dentists.
You choose: The smell of Dental injections or the smell of, well, death. If you were to choose, what would it be? Let me back up and explain. So a while ago we had a couple of rats visit us. I'd plugged up the hole in my brickwork with wire wool (prevents rodents...
The healthy pursuit of Happiness
Everyday I scan a newsfeed of Neurology headlines. I admit, I'm a research junkie. Although sometimes I scan through them and mutter "well duh!" Case in point: Laughter has positive impact on vascular function Young brains lack the wisdom of their elders, clinical...
