Does your GP have time for you?


We all know that Doctors are busy people, right?  But when using the excuse of being too busy means that your GP might not be able to best advise you of a service which could significantly improve the work they do for you and your overall well-being, is it okay to be “too busy”?  I think not!  

In an effort to provide some insight into the work I do and how it can help you- their patient, the reply from one of our local surgeries was that “at this stage the GP's don't feel they have time to schedule anything in for you”.  But it’s not about me!  It’s about you the patient! Next time you go to your GP, ask them what they know about therapies which may complement the treatment your doctor offers you.

Any practitioner looking after your health and wellness needs to take a proactive approach to looking at all avenues for improving your outcome.  Research out of Harvard states that 60-90% of doctors visits are, in some way, contributed to by stress reactions within the body.  As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I work with reducing the impact of these reactions within the body and mind which will reduce the need for medication, for medical interventions and improve overall well-being for people.

I know that research has proven that the therapeutic use of hypnosis can gain a 25% increase in healing after surgery. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12722936
I know that using therapeutic hypnosis can improve how patients deal with cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1549747
I know that if you live with chronic pain you can improve how you experience this pain by using therapeutic hypnosis. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2752362/
I know that using self-hypnosis to manage anxiety significantly reduces the need for medication. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20136382
I know that using a structured therapeutic programme can reduce the incidence of depression. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20183000

Ask yourself, why would your GP refuse to learn more about this modality which may have significant impact upon your well-being?  After all, I’m giving my time for free to help your practitioner understand more about Clinical Hypnotherapy for you.  

For any GP’s out there, you may contact me and I will be happy to come and talk with you about how we can work together to improve outcomes for patients.  If you are not local to me, we can meet via SKYPE.  Helping people be the best they can be is my mission and I will give my valuable time to see this through.

Do you have road rage?

ROAD RAGE

Road RageHas this ever happened to you?
I was making a turn this week and one of the drivers behind me felt that I wasn’t making my turn fast enough. The driver behind, honked their horn. I’m thinking “I’m going to make my turn when it’s safe for me to turn”. How can a vehicle three cars behind me on a hill possibly see what’s coming from both directions?
But then I thought about it further and it isn’t that the person can see  something that I can’t, it’s that the person is filled with stress and tension. At that point, I thought I should just get out of my car and hand them one of my business cards and tell them that I’d be happy to give them a free session so they could control their road rage.
This is one of the wonderful things about being a clinical hypnotherapist and understanding how the mind works. Although the person honking their horn from 3 cars back, thinks that they know something that I don’t know i.e. it’s safe for me to turn, the truth of the matter is, I have knowledge that could help them live their lives in a better way, in a safer way, in a happier way.
Because when the car in front of you isn’t turning as quickly as you would like, you should ask yourself why you believe you have a right to further harass the person trying to make a decision about turning safely? And how is your honking and making rude hand gestures going to improve the situation? It’s not and the root of the problem lies in tension build up and negative stress within you- the other driver.   
Stress and tension clouds our judgement and who do you want on the road in front of you? A stressed out know-it-all or someone who is focussed on safe driving? I know who I want on my roads.

Climb out of the dark...


DEPRESSION

Climb Out of the Dark
When someone becomes so desperate for relief from life that they decide to take the drastic measure and take their own everyone else is left asking the question “What could I have done to help prevent this situation”.
Information on depression is everywhere so why does this continue to happen? Many people find their way out of these desperate feelings but yet so many people are trapped in a way of thinking they are unable to free themselves.
It doesn’t matter how much money you make, as we have seen in the case of Robin Williams; well respected, very talented, and yet still so desperate, suicide touches us all.
These feelings are endemic in our culture and we need to change them. We need to find ways to get people to reduce their stress and tension so that they can think clearly no matter what the situation and they can find a way to be happy. Being satisfied with who you are, where you are, is a real art in life.
Having lived with the aftermath of suicide within my family, I have an understanding and empathy that informs my practice and skill.
As a clinical hypnotherapist, I help people so that they don’t get to these dark, dark places that they can’t find a way to escape from.  The work I set into place for the client makes a little window of light that grows and grows until it is large enough window for them to climb through out into the sun.   Using the power of your mind through hypnosis is this window.
If you’d like to learn how to have a window of light that you can access any time you like then contact me. I’m Lisa Wheeler from Scope Hypnosis and I help others to achieve well-being.
Window of Light 

Behind cheating on a spouse...

ARE YOU A CHEATER?

sad man
We all know people who have been the cheater or have been cheated on in what should be trusting deep relationships.  And guess what?  These people look just like you and me...there is nothing outstanding about them. That’s because they could be you and me.  Circumstances and the workings of your inner mind cause people to react in ways they never thought possible.
For most of us who have not been the cheater- okay wait....there was that time when I was breaking up with my boyfriend but I was yet to tell him and I took up with someone else- does that count?...but I digress...so for most of us who have not been the cheater, we judge, criticize and condemn the cheater but, in some if not most cases, if we understood that this behaviour often begins with living with low self-esteem, low self worth and a lack of true ego strength we might actually begin to create some compassion in our hearts for these people.  Nobody sets out to hurt the one they love by cheating on them and if they do, they have issues with love that are deeply inherent to poor internal dialogue and self-esteem.  But that’s another issue...
I’ve met many good people in my life that have made mistakes with poor judgement at times in their lives.  We are all vulnerable to making the wrong choice at the wrong time.  
If you are a cheater or if you have lived with your partner cheating on you then look behind the behaviour for the root cause and no doubt you will find issues in self-worth, low self-esteem, ego and judgement.  
Clinical Hypnotherapy helps you look at the deep down issues so you can move forward in your life with peace and happiness.  My advice to you is to build your own inner ego, self-esteem and self-worth, not in an egotistical way and then help others to improve theirs.  This world would be a better place if we all focus on personal growth as opposed to blame, hurt and self righteousness.

Looking in the mirror seems so simple...


WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR?


Scope Hypnosis - Mirror Road
The funny thing about mirrors is that, although meant to reflect a clear image, they are not always accurate.  We’ve all been at the funhouse and stood in front of those mirrors which distort our image, and we laugh but are shocked at the same time.
Scope Hypnosis - Distorted 
But what happens when we look in the mirror and we create a distorted image in our minds?  Sometimes this image is detrimental to our overall well-being.  If every time you look in the mirror you say to yourself in your mind “I’m so fat and ugly” the damage to your self-esteem and therefore your enjoyment of life is immeasurable.  
What the mirror doesn’t capture is the emotion that floats through your subconscious mind and pervades your consciousness about who you are and your value in the world.  What you see in the mirror this morning may impact your day today, tomorrow and your future.  
How powerful is it to say positive consistent things to yourself when you look in the mirror?  Very, very powerful!  
If you do one good thing for yourself today, go look in the mirror and tell yourself all about wonderful you...not how you look but how you are...a unique person with qualities unique to you and there will never be another one of you.  Value yourself.  
You can grow this positivity but expanding your image to include that of those around you.  What if you saw a determined person in the mirror?  A person who does good in the world, a caring person that has value in his or her own life and the influence they have on the people around them.  That’s a person who is deeply happy and thankful for being you! Have a great day today!
