Emotional Hurt and Addictions have certain things in common. Firstly they both can be particularly tricky stop once they have happened and Secondly withdrawal is categorically similar to emotional loss. A Clean Therapy ™ method can be used to deal with both types of problem.

Addictions may be classed as physical, habitual, chemical or a combination of all three. What these all have in common is there is some payback ( a reward ) from a specific activity which results in neurotransmitters being released or blocked. These chemicals may be externally obtained like drugs and alcohol or supplied endogenously. The important distinction is there is a process which an addict will typically go through, typically:

Stimulus, Desire, Activity, Reward

It is the physical and psychological addiction withdrawal that really is the problem. Once the drug is lost to the system there is often a withdrawal counter effect in the body.

Now consider emotional pain. Specifically forms of loss related emotional pain. Here emotional pain is experienced through loosing something or someone precious, having values transgressed or expectations shattered. In essence something that was once present in life is now gone either permanently or temporarily.

When addictive stop there is often an associated withdrawal stage. This withdrawal is very similar to the experience of loss.

Using my Clean Therapy ™ model, a physicalisation and reintegration process in this case. Therapists can deal effectively with the withdrawal element in many cases. And follow up with Clean Generative Change to future orientate clients.

Two important developments in Newcastle Hypnosis Study and Practice Group for this coming June.

First the topic and second the June date.

The topic for explorations and practice is Thought Provoking Dialogue. Thought Provoking Dialogue is the creation of Phil Jeremiah who recently ran an excellent two day Thought Provoking Dialogue workshop in Newcastle, sponsored by Nigel Hetherington. Thought Provoking Dialogue according to research is incredibly effective, fun, caring and totally client focused.

Phil studied extensively with Frank Farrelly the creator of provocative therapy and Phil has updated this approach for the 21st Century. Thought Provoking Dialogue is the latest cutting edge development in the use of humour in coaching, therapy, mentoring and helping people make positive changes in their lives.

The practice evening will include demonstrations and plenty of practice time, focusing on specific Thought Provoking Dialogue patterns

We normally meet on the first Wednesday of the month. This June, The Trance Cafe will be on the 24th June which is the last Thursday of the month. This is because I am running a Hypnotherapy Diploma training in Alaska at the start of the June.

It is incredibly easy to construct and use hypnotic language. One of the first things I share with students on my Newcastle Hypnosis Training and Hypnosis Introduction courses is what is known as ‘hypnotic connectives’.

We are all already experts in using hypnosis because can talk. We already instinctively know how to form sentences and with one small piece of instruction in connecting words and sentences you can easily create compelling and powerful hypnotic commands and suggestions.

Here is a youtube clip from Nigel Hetherington demonstrating this simple yet powerful principle.

We (IntegrityNLP) are very proud to be hosting a workshop with Bill O’Hanlon in Newcastle on September 11th and 12th. Bill O’Hanlon was one of the great hypnotherapist Milton Erikson’s students and is very well known therapist, trainer and author. He says of this workshop: The Geography Of Possibilities

Possibility Therapy uses the power of acknowledgement to meet people where they are stuck and the power of possibility to invite them into change. Not just a positive approach, this approach recognizes problems, the influence of the past, and cultural, political and gender influences while creating a respectful, hopeful environment for change. It also adds a spiritual dimension to therapy.

Through clear handouts and lectures, videotapes and practice exercises, participants will have the opportunity to not only learn this approach to therapy but also to apply it to their own lives and selves.

You can hear Bill speak about Eriksonian and Solution Oriented Hypnotherapy on a podcast interview he did on ShrinkRapRadio with Dr David Van Nuys.

You can also hear him on the Theatre of the Mind podcast about ‘getting on track with your life’.

The online registration for this event starts on Wednesday 21st April at 8:00am.

The first 10 registrants can book for the Very Early Bird Fee of just £100.

The fee goes up to £175 thereafter until July 19th, after that it’s £225.

Guilt can be one of the most disabling and crippling emotions a human being can feel.

The feeling of Guilt is related to a persons actions or inactions and is primarily about values and how they are transgressed. Guilt is about your own values and can be public or private knowledge.

It is interesting that most people who are experiencing guilt are acknowledging certain values yet the question here is who’s values have been transgressed? Are they honestly your own values or are they ones you have accumulated from society, your parents or what you think you should do?

When a person experiences Guilt, there is a very strong likely hood that an even higher level value, often unconscious, has been honoured and the feeling of Guilt comes from more conscious values. Guilt can honestly serve as a sign post, a marker of how to respond differently in the future when there are similar circumstances as to the experience that created the feeling of Guilt.

There is a story from the current Dalia Lama about when he once told an old monk that was desiring to embark on some higher level esoteric practice and he remarked casually that it would be difficult and perhaps would be better undertaken by someone younger perhaps in the mid teens. What transpired was that old monk committed suicide to start again in another life. Can you imagine the ‘Guilt’ that came from this casual comment ‘resulting’ in a suicide? How do you go about transforming such a feeling and moving onwards with a real life?

This Trance Cafe is a methodology for transforming Guilt into a learning and way of being in the future.

Trance Cafe – Newcastle Hypnosis Practice Group
Wednesday 3rd March

All people at some time in life experience negative states or negative emotions. Usually these will dissolve and dissipate on their own and with this comes the return of a better life.

But sometimes negative feelings persist and stay. These can be feelings like anger, fear, anxiety or confusion to name but a few. Being in a negative emotional state is draining, tiring and over time not at all good for health and wellbeing.

This months Trance Cafe will work with the ‘Drop Down & Through’ process (Overdurf and Silverthorn) which moves you through a series of emotional states until something deep and profound shifts.

November at the Trance Cafe – Newcastle and North East Hypnosis Practice and Supervision Group is Creating A Performance Mindset – Wednesday February 3rd.My good friend Kim Bull of Performing Excellence will host the evening.

High performers from sport, the arts, politics and business often have a certain way they think about their successes, and a different way of thinking about their errors or bad experiences.

We will use the thinking structure of successful performers to create a model for using past successes and learning experiences to create a positive mindset for the future.  As well as having applications for performers, this is also a resource in therapy and change work where a positive mental attitude might be useful.

November at the Trance Cafe – Newcastle and North East Hypnosis Practice and Supervision Group is Improvisation Training – Wednesday November 4th.

The focus of the session at the Trance Cafe – The Newcastle Hypnosis Practice Group is Improvisation Training.

Improvisation Training is of particular utility to therapists because inside the guise of having a great deal of fun, it is also teaching personal congruence, state control and flexibility of behaviour.

This improvisation training will of course be a lot of fun and also directly applicable in terms of personal congruence and utilisation practice for therapists and hypnotherapists.

The evening will consist of structured exercises for the purpose of creating behavioural flexibility inside of structures and expanding personal boundaries.
