Hypnotherapy Derby. More Words Of Wisdom


“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams..
...Who looks inside, awakens.”

Carl Gustav Jung

 As a clinical hypnotherapist, this is a rule of life, I try and get my clients (some anyway) to think about. As the immortal Milton Erickson said, we all have the inner abilities and knowledge to sort our problems, or get ourselves back to a 'normal' life. The answers to our problems lie within us, yet without the help of a therapist, sometimes we cant see the wood for the trees. Or we may have so much stuff going on in out heads that, we cant think straight and therefore find it hard to know whats right to do.


Hypnosis can relax you to a point where after a couple of sessions, you can start to put things in order, take stock of your life and see what is best, or most important for you -to live the happiest way that you can live.Only in the trance state,can we utilise the full power of our minds and see what we need to see. We go about our day to day lives, never really searching ourselves for the answers to our problems. You may think that someone else is the cause of your problem, well if you think about it enough- you might be able to see that (where possible) you do not need to put up with this person, you are the only one who could or should be able to take responsibility for your life.


Carl Jung was and still is considered to be a great thinker, going into many different realms of society. The words above are apt, none more so than in the hypnosis profession. If you want to know more about Hypnotherapy Derby send me an e mail.

Why Try Hypnotherapy ? www.ripleyhypnotherapy.co.uk


By Ripley Hypnotherapy and NLP

So what is hypnosis? Hypnosis is nothing new, what it is, is a name given to a naturally occuring phenomenon which people noticed has great benefits. It was used long ago, as far back as the sleep temples of ancient Egypt. It is just as safe as being in a day dream- ie you cant get stuck in a hypnotic trance, you cant be made to do anything against your will and there is no question of mind control- you are always fully aware and in control in a hypnosis session. The mind can achieve great things when the trance state is used to full effect. For example, we have often seen an athlete collapse after running a gruelling race, they talk about being in ‘the zone’ for a race and as soon as the race is done they come back to a sense of normality and the body might then feel the exhaustion it has put off until the end of the race and they might fall to the floor –unable to run any further. ‘The zone’ is just another state of mind the runner has put themselves in and that is just like a hypnotic state- not harmful at all –in fact quite the opposite.

People often say that there is no such thing as hypnosis, but we should look at it more in terms of it not being a question of whether hypnosis exists or not but whether or not people can realise that we are not necessarily the omnipotent beings we think we are. Whatever we call it, there is an ability within us to achieve more than we previously thought possible. The best example I can give of this is when seeing pain relief using hypnosis - this was commonplace before the invention of chemical anaesthesia.

Of course, a much more well known use of the trance state is hypnotherapy to quit smoking. The body may also be chemically addicted to nicotine, but it is the subconscious mind that can control these types of cravings. Also there is, according to the majority of my clients a feeling of something missing when they try and stop smoking, which if not correctly addressed will just lead them back to the cigarettes – usually after 2 weeks or so. Only hypnosis actively utilises the subconscious mind, which is why it so effective for smoking cessation.

Stress management is another example of where a hypnotherapy can really shine. Stress causes probably more problems for us than any other symptom experienced as human beings. Stress can manifest itself as anything from a bad back to unexplained aches or pains. Our bodies are built to experience stress as in the past it would have helped us be better huntsmen and focus more when it was needed – such as hunting prey.

What we are not designed for is to experience continual stress, such as work stress or money worries. A burst of adrenaline can have some benefits in the short term, but cortisol –the ‘stress’ hormone can cause other problems when it is not used up from the bloodstream, a feeling of burnout can leave us struggling to be coping with stress. 

Hypnosis for weight loss is being used more and more by people who are fed up of diets, who always put weight back on no matter how hard they try to keep it off. I have found, that for around 65% of my clients, emotional issues can be the major stumbling block for losing weight and keeping it off. We often use our weight as ‘armour’ to protect us from the knocks that life can bring. Diet pills are no good as like most tablets, they are man made and therefore have side effects, the worst of which we will probably see in years to come when it will be too late.

Panic attacks are becoming more and more common, there are so many worries to life today that people are becoming more and more susceptible to anxiety disorders such as OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Anxiety can often be a contributing factor in more serious conditions like depression, and also stress. Symptoms of anxiety can range from sleeplessness, obtrusive and repetitive thoughts, a feeling of being on edge constantly, feeling over nervous and also negative ruminating thoughts.

I have successfully used hypnosis to help clients deal with all of these conditions, hypnosis can be the thing that many people have been looking for for all or a large part of their lives. But it is not all about negativity, there are many positive uses that we can use trance states for –learning new skills quicker, helping us to relax so we can think more clearly, studying for exams, helping to conceive, the list is endless.

The list of conditions that can be treated is too big to list here but includes:
- IBS treatment, and other gut conditions
-  helping cope with dementia
- painful conditions such as fibromyalgia
- blushing
- confidence management
- phobias and fears

Doctor Uses Self Hypnosis For Invasive Surgery

Dr John Butler undergoes surgery using self hypnosis instead of anaesthetic.Fascinating viewing.

Hypnosis for surgery is a multi facted tool in that, it cal help to relieve some of the anxiety BEFORE an operation - this in itself can reduce pain, because we expect a certain amount of pain and discomfort about any operation we may make the actual amount of pain experienced more than it is.

  Hypnosis can combat the pain during an operation as shown and also positive suggestions given in the weeks leading to an operation (about the prognosis after surgery) can also help the patient to recover much quicker than without.

The mind tells you when pain is there, so it should follow that the mind can alter the pain felt.

Do You Know A Dog With A Stick ?

Have you ever seen a dog proudly carrying a big stick it has been playing with ? The dog will carry on happy as Larry with his stick just carrying it around like a trophy. Then one day the dog has to try and get through a gate or a doorway with the stick. So what does it do? Of course dogs are very intelligent creatures, capable of showing real measurable intelligence and also emotion.

So with all this intelligence you would think it shouldnt be too hard for a dog to get through the gateway with the stick, after all there may be many gateways as it enjoys its walk. So the dog just goes up to the gateway with the big stick held horizontally in its mouth and of course the gateway isnt as wide as the stick but that doesnt stop the dog trying - oh no in fact it makes the dog just keep trying, and every time it tries the stick stops the dog from going through the gate. Again and again it tries, the horizontal stick always catching the sides of the gateway. Sometimes the dog might even hurt itself,  it will just keep banging the stick across the gateway but it still tries and tries and tries.

What the dog doesnt know is that, all it has to do instead of banging itself against the gateway, is to simply turn its head to the side a little, it doesnt take much effort or thought and then it can get through the gateway and enjoy the rest of its walk, because it might be dark soon and then there wil be no more walking for it.
