With London winning the 2012 Olympics bid there'll be more and more expectations on British sports people to perform at their highest and more importantly win medals which means greater opportunities for hypnotherapists. With that in mind, Peter Moule, a member of the IAH, and a well-known sports enhancement hypnotherapist, who has helped World and Commonwealth champions, has agreed to share his 'success secrets' with the membership!

You see, as a professional hypnotherapist you already have the 'skill-set' to help many athletes, both individuals and teams, succeed at their highest level. However there are 7 areas, which Peter will guide you through which make all the difference between winning gold and winning nothing! They are:

• Knowing the difference between general & sport Hypnosis to create a winning mind-set.
• Understanding skill, focus and control and how these 3 areas are enhanced with hypnosis.
• The mistaken beliefs regarding relaxation & perfect performance.
• Learn how to truly assess a sportspersons' requirements.
• How to work with teams.
• The succinct use of NLP techniques, and How to Market your skill to bring in more business!

If you're looking to enhance your hypnosis skills and can see the benefits of working with sports people to do that then make sure you book your place today.

'Listening Skills'
Presented By Juliet Emerson and Brenda Bailey - DATES IN 2006 TO BE CONFIRMED - in Basingstoke Cost £45 B&B Available at £68.

A One-Day Seminar with Juliet Emerson, MIAH, Juliet has internal and external supervision certificates and 12 years experience as an individual and group supervisor. and Brenda Bailey BSc (Hons) Psychology, MIAH, Brenda has an internal and external accreditation as a Therapeutic Supervisor.

• Listening to ourselves and others - How well do we listen? A major study shows that In the USA patients go to the Doctor with 4 to 5 questions. At the end of their appointment they feel that 2 1/2 of those questions have been answered. On average the patient talks for only 19 seconds before the Doctor starts talking.
• In this seminar we will be learning about and practising active listening:
• For instance: Responding to the client's feelings; Reflecting back; summarising; identifying patterns; noticing body language.
• We will also be looking at the inner consultation: What are the feelings we have in response to the client? How do we deal with our own feelings and use them to move the therapy on?
• Learn about how our judgements and perception affect the therapeutic relationship
• Also learn the very best way to deal with abusive clients and defuse potentially explosive situations using simple techniques. Why do some people find it so difficult to control their anger?
• Hear the very latest research undertaken by Daniel Goleman author of Emotional Intelligence and the consequences for us as therapists.
• This is an interactive seminar in which everyone can participate and is applicable to new and experienced therapists. This course represents 50% of the IAH Certificate in Supervision Skills, which is a Module of The IAH Advanced Diploma Program.

During this packed one-day course, you will learn EVERYTHING that you need to know in order to be able to stop 95% of the Smokers who walk through your door in just one hour-long session. A real session will be demonstrated before your very eyes and then dissected so you can understand the component parts. Stopping someone smoking permanently is a lot more involved than just giving them some suggestion therapy, and keeping your fingers crossed! I will explain (in plain English):

• How to attract smokers.
• How to filter out the people you DON'T want to take on.
• How to help the smoker to overcome their ERRONEOUS BELIEF that they are addicted to it.
• Why smoking is THE BEST habit in the world to have (no joke!).
• That motivation (or willpower) is directly related to incentive (or benefit) and why this is the major reason most smokers fail to stop.
• The cycle of dysfunctional behaviour and how it relates to smoking.
• Why most smokers trying to quit are operating under a delusional belief system that continually undermines their attempts to quit.
• How visualisation can keep the client feeling positive and focussed.
• Why smokers are happy to pay £195 for a one-hour 'Easy Smoking Cessation' session .
• Why the client's firm belief that they are a non-smoker is so critical.
• How to SUPERCHARGE rapport and trust.
• How to overcome cognitive dissonance (the feeling that 'something is not quite right').
• The difference between a Smoker, and Ex-Smoker and a Non-Smoker..
• Recognise which smokers to NOT take on.. different personality types
• How to word the perfect suggestions.and much more.

I will also prove to you, why having a single one-hour session is far more successful than having many sessions, or an extra long session. Learn a successful and innovative technique (and the insights and understanding that go with it) that Rob have developed over the last 15 years, whilst stopping over 6000 smokers*. (*Verified).

A comprehensive 85 page Smoking Cessation Pack is included in the cost of this course.

FREE TO DELEGATES ON THIS COURSE ' A SIXTY MINUTE SUBLIMINAL 'EASY SMOKING CESSATION' CD ' TO USE IN YOUR CONSULTING ROOM.

The media, and hence your local population, judge a hypnotherapist's skill and expertise by how good he or she is at stopping people smoking. Make sure you are very good at it!

The Secrets of Successful Hypnoanalysis
Presented By Rob Kelly - Dates to be confrimed for 2006 - Cost £195 B&B available for £30.

Learn all the secrets of being a successful hypnoanalyst - In just two days! During this dynamic two-day course, you will be taught not only HOW, but WHY hypno-analysis is such an effective treatment. You will learn how YOU can achieve, in just 6 or 8 sessions, what would normally take about four years in a more traditional psychotherapy AND with more impressive results!

Hypnoanalysis is THE single most effective talking-therapy that exists in the world today for resolving phobias, fears, anxieties, depression, eating disorders, confidence problems, sexual problems in fact ANY symptom that has a psychological component to it. This course is ideally suited to all therapists (or student therapists) who use any form of analytical therapy within their work. How is this course different to any other? Well, it is being presented by a leading expert in Hypno-analysis, someone with over 15 years, and 4000 clients worth of experience - Rob Kelly. Rob will demonstrate ALL the techniques you will ever need to use, AND explain HOW and WHY they work. Resistance, transference, abreaction, repression, regression, denial, false memories, catharsis, neurosis, phobias etc will all be explored and, more importantly, EXPLAINED in a very clear and understandable way. Learn why 'pin-point analysis', 'age regression', 'regression to cause', 'ideomotor signalling' and other 'find the cause' type therapies rarely do actually find the cause... OR resolve the problem!

To practice hypno-analysis successfully, you must first understand why we respond to trauma or emotional conflicts in our lives by creating anxieties, phobias and other symptoms. When you understand how and why these symptoms are created, it is much easier for you to help your clients to resolve them. Some of the knowledge you will gain during this course will include:

• How and why we repress emotional conflicts.
• The difference between denial, disavowal, suppression and repression.
• Why, with certain types of symptoms, CBT, NLP or suggestion therapy are completely ineffective.
• Why psychiatry's understanding and treatment of phobias is flawed, and usually just exacerbates the problem.
• Why different people have different types of symptoms.
• Why some personality types WANT to maintain their symptoms.
• How to encourage and abreaction: how to enable a client to re-live a traumatic event, in order to resolve the symptoms caused by it.
• How to treble your client base, AND your income!
• The best hypnotic inductions to use (and which to not use).
• Understanding Free Association, creating trust and rapport .
• Negotiating with the client's subconscious.
• Debriefing rape or trauma victims.
• The use of 'Clean' and 'Reflective' language in therapy.

"I can heartily recommend this two-day training course: Rob Kelly is a rare breed not only is he a highly-skilled and knowledgeable clinician, he is also a superb presenter who possess the ability to impart his experience to others in a truly inspiring fashion." Dr Mark Pummel MBBS MRCGP FRCPsych
