I do hope that you have all enjoyed the Christmas and New Year break, and that you can begin 2014 with a renewed sense of energy and optimism. Whether you have made resolutions for this year, or quite simply want to focus on a more healthy lifestyle, you may be interested in trying hypnotherapy in order to increase your motivation, and help you stay on that healthy path (and not just for January either!)

If you have not tried hypnotherapy before, it can sometimes seem like a bit of a ‘dark art’, with the common misconceptions being that you lose all control, the hypnotherapist will get you to do things that you don’t want to do, you will fall asleep and not wake up, or maybe that you ‘cannot be hypnotised’. I have therefore constructed a list of what hypnosis isn’t when practiced by an experienced, competent hypnotherapist:

It is not sleep
It is not loss of consciousness
It does not make you lose control
It is not mind control

What hypnotherapy is, however, can be described thus:

It is extremely relaxing, a little bit like meditation
It is a focused state of mind, allowing you to look at things from a different perspective
It is a way of guiding you to a more positive, happy mindset
It is an excellent way to reduce anxiety
It is a technique which you can learn to do for yourself
It is a natural, proven and effective way to deal with emotional trauma
It is an extremely powerful, life-changing therapy

So, if you feel you would like to try hypnotherapy for yourself, do call me on 01449 780352 or 07817158429, or perhaps you would prefer to email me at wendy@wendychalk.co.uk. I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes for 2014,
