Self-Hypnosis Workshop (September 2017)

Bill Sheate, Imagination Therapy

A half-day (4 hours) practical self-hypnosis workshop that takes you a step beyond mindfulness and relaxation. No previous experience necessary, however, as this is a standalone workshop equally suitable for complete beginners and those experienced in other forms of relaxation/mindfulness. The workshop uses a cognitive behavioural, fully evidence-based (non-state) model of hypnosis. For more information on hypnosis see <A HREF="http://www.imaginationtherapy.co.uk/what-is-cbh/#whatishypnosis" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="What is hypnosis?"

Mastering self-hypnosis enables you to relax the body and the mind quickly - within minutes - whenever you need to or want to, and rehearse a range of coping strategies and techniques in your imagination, so you can face stressful situations more easily and build greater resilience to whatever life may throw at you.  Self-hypnosis is especially useful for reducing anxiety, building calmness and self-confidence.  It can also be used actively in sport (e.g. focused concentration, or imaginal rehearsal rather than relaxation).  And it is surprisingly easy to learn.
