“So Which Does Come First: The Mind, The Brain, or The Body?”
by Susan French, Clinical Hypnotherapist
When I first studied psychology and then hypnotherapy, the same nagging issue kept hammering at me. Over and over again, I found a ‘disconnect’ between how and where we looked for causes of illness as well as for unwanted behavior.

“Hypnosis for Insomnia – How to Let Go of Awake and Embrace Sleep”
by Kelley Woods, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
One of the most beneficial side effects of engaging in hypnosis is, for many, improvement in the quality of sleep. Whether it is due to a “re-training” of conditioned sleep habits, or because bothersome issues are finally being dealt with, hypnosis can facilitate the resolution of insomnia.
Research shows that chronic lack of sleep results in daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. People who do not get quality sleep actually wake in a stressed state which can accelerate throughout their day. Poor sleep experience can also influence weight – cortisol levels are heightened in people who suffer from a lack of sleep, which contributes to weight gain.

“Will Coaching Help ME and What Does a Life Coach Do?”
by Elise Fee

by Elise Fee
Yes and no.
Yes, it’s normal to have a degree of anxiety in stressful situations like speaking to a crowd, interviewing for a job, etc. However, despite the fact that so many people experience high levels of anxiety on a daily basis, it is NOT normal to feel anxiety regularly or at high levels.

“Addictions Appear to be on the Increase and in Intensity”
by Alice Stacionis
The ones easy to label are the physical addictions, i.e. food, alcohol, drugs both legal and illegal. Addictions are not limited to just the physical. The next level up being emotional/behavioral addictions. Addictions make us “feel good”, but as with any addiction, no amount is enough.
As hypnotists we can deal with clearing the behavior (addiction), all too soon it will reappear. You hear of people losing a lot of weight then gaining it back, plus more. People who are successful in smoking cessation then go thru a stressful event and start again. The same goes for drugs and alcohol.

“The Second Drug in Cigarettes – Do Cigarettes Relieve Stress?”
by James Hazlerig, MA, Certified Hypnosis Practitioner
Everyone knows that cigarettes contain the drug nicotine, along with about a hundred and fifty poisons. But most people, even smokers, don’t know that cigarettes contain from 8% to 18% sugar.
When a smoker lights up, that sugar bypasses the digestion and goes straight to the bloodstream, causing a sugar rush. A few hours later, dropping blood sugar creates the same symptoms as hypoglycemia: cold sweats, irritability, clammy palms, shaky hands—symptoms usually mistaken for nicotine withdrawal.

As it turned out, Jack’s hypnotist had several ways of making cravings a non-issue.
