CLAIMING POWER OVER YOUR LIFE IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP YOU CAN TAKE
Relaxation, self-understanding and a positive outlook are three essentials necessary for a healthy and fulfilling life. Peace and harmony are great healers. I can help you to leave anxiety behind, and feel better about life and yourself. I can also help you become aware of your strengths and talents, and build on them. My background in psychodynamic counselling fosters self-knowledge in those who feel they can benefit from it, but if this path is not for you, hypnotherapy can help you make significant changes, smoothly and comfortably. I believe that spirit and body are one interdependent unit and that we all possess the innate ability to heal ourselves. I offer Reiki healing, to shift energy at a deep level, so you can move into a more positive state of being. The world around us has so much to offer in terms of nourishment and well-being. I am trained to offer basic advice on nutrition and weight-loss, and can prescribe Bach Flower Remedies, so you may benefit from the healing essences in Nature. Although I often work at a deep level, my approach is gentle and my priority is that you should feel empowered and cared-for, able to see yourself and your life in an increasingly optimistic light. I’m always happy to discuss your needs with you and to answer all your questions with no obligation. You can telephone me on 01453 886853, and if I cannot speak with you at that time, we can arrange for you to call back when I will be able to give you my full attention. HOURS AT THE CLINIC 9.30 – 1.30 on Wednesdays. In Bussage Stroud by prior arrangement, where possible.
SCIENCE SUPPORTS HYPNOTHERAPY.
Many studies have been conducted into the effectiveness of hypnotherapy, with some excellent results. A hypnotic trance causes distinct changes in the brain (Ann Acad Med Singapore, 2008; 37: 683-8; Mayo Clin Proc, 2005; 80: 511-24) Although it is a very relaxed state, heightened awareness and receptivity are characteristic, with a bypassing of the critical faculties of the mind. Although the precise mechanism of hypnotherapy is a mystery, it has a key role to play in modern medicine. DEPRESSION Not only can hypnosis help to relieve depression, it also facilitates the learning of new skills - a core component of all proven treatments for depression (Am J Clin Hypn, 2001; 44: 97-108) ANXIETY Hypnosis has proved effective for phobias, panic attacks and PTSD (Am J Clin Hypn, 1993; 35: 198-204) SLEEP DISORDERS Hypnosis is useful for insomnia, nightmares, sleepwalking, bedwetting and other sleep-related disorders (Ann Acad Med Singapore, 2008; 37: 683-8) Schoolchildren with insomnia have been shown to respond especially well. (BMC Pediatr, 2006; 6: 23) Hypnosis can help establish a good bed-time routine and sleep-habits (Ann Acad Med Singapore, 2008; 37: 683-8) ADDICTIONS Hypnosis has proved more effective in stopping people smoking than standard behavioural therapy (Nicotine Tob Res, 2008; 10: 811-8) Hypnosis has also been used successfully to treat conditions that are not considered to be primarily psychological. ALLERGIES Hypnotherapy has been shown to suppress symptoms in two-thirds of patients (Br Med J, 1963; 1: 925-9) SKIN CONDITIONS These have also been shown to respond to hypnotherapy (Arch Dermatol, 2000; 136: 393-9) DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS Hypnotherapy can help with inflammatory bowel disease, enabling the reduction or stopping of medication, with a better quality of life (Int J Clin Exp Hypn, 2008; 56: 306-17) Ulcers and indigestion are also helped (Lancet, 1988; 1299-300; Gastroenterology, 2002; 123: 1778-85)
BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
The natural world offers a gentle but profound form of healing in the flower remedies, discovered in the 1930s by Dr Edward Bach. The remedies hold the essence of the plant, and enable you to tap into the therapeutic power of nature, to achieve balance and well-being. Dr Bach understood that the real cause of illness and unhappiness comes primarily from the emotions. The flower remedies act to bring harmony and counteract many conditions, such as fear and uncertainty. There are 38 remedies in total, for Dr Bach found these covered the full spectrum of human problems. Remedies can also be combined, to treat more complex conditions. Bach Flower Remedies are totally benign, with no side effects. They involve the pure and beautiful gifts of nature. The only contra-indication for the remedies may be in the case of a person recovering from alcoholism, for the remedies are preserved in brandy. Bach Flower Remedies may be prescribed after a confidential counselling session, where your true needs can be identified. They are administered as drops, which you may take directly on the tongue or in a glass of water. TERESA MOOREY has 18 years clinical experience in counselling, treating a wide variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression and many others. She trained in Bach Flower Remedy therapy in 2004, with the Dr Edward Bach Foundation, as another means to offer personal empowerment, harmony and healing.
