Central Hypnotherapy

Now you might think that nausea and travel sickness are not connected to phobias – but you’d be wrong! The Subconscious mind has a number of tactics it can use to force you to avoid something, and fear is only one of them. In phobias, fear is used as a lever to steer you away from an object or situation that is being regarded as threatening in some way, and feelings of nausea, dizziness and faintness can also be used in the same way.

The good news is, this can be stopped altogether with expert hypnotherapy help, usually in one session, as Callum found out last month:

“Hi Chris,

Just thought I’d send you a quick email to let you know how I’ve been getting on since I came to see you a couple of weeks ago.

After the session on the 15th I noticed a difference pretty much immediately. I had been feeling sick in car journeys, and even was on the way to the appointment, however on the drive home I was absolutely fine! I haven’t been panicked after meals like I usually am, nor have I been wary when using public transport.

Overall I am very happy with the outcome and have already recommended you to a friend.

Thanks again,

Callum”

“Hiya Chris! It’s Chris from Saturday. I just wanted to say thanks again, results are brilliant, I can’t believe it – cravings are gone!” This was the text message I received this evening.

Now, ask yourself this: if cravings were really ‘the body needing cocaine’, how could they be gone after a single two-hour session of hypnotherapy? The answer is that they could not. Either the body needs cocaine or it doesn’t – so if it doesn’t need it after the session, we have to question whether it ever needed it before the session or whether cravings are actually something else. This is how I discovered what they really are, and how to shut them down.

Cravings are strong, insistent feelings produced in the body by the brain. Through regular repetition, the cocaine use accidentally becomes a compulsive habit and the craving is the ‘compulsive’ bit. Hypnosis is simply a way to get information to the part of the brain that controls this: the Subconscious. Both habit and cravings can be stopped on request, but hypnotherapy is the ONLY way to do that with immediate effect.

Hypnotherapy can shut down cravings for cocaine, ketamine, cannabis, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate or any kind of food, and I’ve done this for thousands of individuals with hypnosis over the years to stop all those habits. All I need from the client is a genuine wish to be rid of the problem, which Chris certainly had… but he also had some doubts. Not about wanting to quit, but about hypnotherapy. Before making the appointment, he had been looking at some really expensive options for tackling his cocaine habit, and he couldn’t quite understand why they were charging hundreds of pounds, and I wasn’t!

“You say you can shut this down in one session – most of them aren’t saying that – but they’re charging far more than you! If you can really do that, why aren’t you charging more than them and really cleaning up?” (He’s a businessman himself, you see!)

So I explained. How many people with a coke habit can put their hands on hundreds of pounds in cash? A few can, but most of them can’t, so if I charged top dollar I’d only be able to help rich cokeheads. What about all the other users? Also, I don’t think anyone should be charging hundreds of pounds. They should be helping hundreds of users, that’s the win-win situation, isn’t it?

Also, I was a drug user myself for many years. I have genuine concern and respect for people in that situation, so I want to make sure they can ALL afford to come to Central Hypnotherapy, and get the best help there is!

Call 0161-474-8120 for more info, or call/text anytime to 07748 838 644. It’s okay if you have mixed feelings about quitting, by the way. that’s normal, that’s why it takes two hours – everyone’s a little different!

“How can I stop drinking too much?”

Hypnotherapy is the quickest and easiest way to get out of difficulty with alcohol. Cravings for alcohol can be shut down with hypnosis and the habit either halted completely or changed. There is no other way to do this in a single event, it can only be done by an expert in a hypnotherapy session. Stopping altogether is one option, cutting out the excess is another and taking a break from alcohol is also a popular choice, after which we re-introduce it without the excess. Some people require another session later to maintain their success, some do not.

Some people do want to stop drinking completely. Not everyone does. This way, you have a choice.

Does that sound all right for you? Just call me (Chris) on 0161-474-8120 during office hours or text/call any time, any day on 07748 838 644.

London 2012 has, most British people would agree, been pretty inspiring! Team GB surpassed expectations and won a very respectable clutch of medals – and I bet they did it entirely without hypnotherapy!

Which makes me wonder how many more we could have won.

Winning is all about belief. Training and hard work might win you a place in an Olympic team, but being the best in the world – and proving it when it really counts, when the pressure is on, when you only have one chance – that is about self-belief, and there’s nothing quite like hypnosis for creating unshakeable self-belief and determination.

Maybe a few people don’t need it: Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Usain Bolt… but what about everyone else?

Life is a competition. Could YOU use unshakeable self-belief and determination?

In my work as a therapist, I meet a lot of people and although work-related stress problems can affect anyone, there are certain professions and occupations that seem to be particularly hard on the nerves. Social work, the police, education and the NHS immediately spring to mind and the number of working days lost to these employers must be huge.

A great deal of this can be avoided with a little bit of relaxing therapy. Prevention is better than cure, and hypnotherapy is the fastest and most efficient way to eliminate residual stress BEFORE it causes illness and time off, or early retirement due to ill health.

Most employers do not know this, but they do know that stress can build up to the point where good personnel leave, or crack under the strain but because the employer doesn’t know what to do about it, the issue is swept under the carpet until it becomes a crisis or a direct loss to their business. Employers can also be legally liable for their employees’ stress-related illnesses.

Don’t do what “most employers” do – which is nothing, until it is too late, then they curse their luck. The really smart employers save themselves a small fortune by sending their stressed-out staff members here to Central Hypnotherapy in Stockport, and they are truly astonished by the results. Even a single hypnosis session with Stress Management Specialist Chris Holmes can make a massive difference.

A happy workforce is a productive workforce. You know it makes sense.

If you ask anyone: “How do you go to sleep?” they will probably tell you the things they do before they go to sleep.

“Oh, I switch everything off, check the doors are locked, get ready for bed, clean my teeth, climb into bed and read for a bit… then I go to sleep.”

Yes, but HOW? How do you actually do that?

“I, er… I don’t know. I just lie there for a bit, until I drift off.”

Or as one client put it: “I sort of pretend to be asleep until I am”!

All well and good, so long as that happens. But what do you do if it doesn’t? If you go to your doctor with sleep problems, they’ll give you pills. But the problem with that is, either they don’t work, in which case they’re useless, or they do work, in which case how do you ever get off them? Most people don’t want to take pills for insomnia the rest of their lives, they want to be normal.

Hypnotherapy is the natural solution because there is a link between the sleep cycle and the Subconscious mind. Over the last decade I have helped many people to get back to a regular sleep cycle with the help of hypnosis and it usually only takes one session.

Simple: both appetite and cravings are controlled by the brain. Although we ‘feel’ these sensations in the body, they are triggered by the Subconscious mind. Weight loss drugs try to interfere with the pathways of these hunger signals, but drugs are dangerous and have side effects. Hypnotherapy is the only way to get detailed messages to the Subconscious mind quickly and effectively, so we can get appetite reduced naturally and safely. We can also ask for cravings to be shut down, or transferred from one object (such as cake) to another object (such as strawberries or fruit generally).

When you go on a diet, you try to resist the urge to eat the fattening foods using willpower, which is hard to sustain over time. In hypnotherapy, we simply change what you feel like eating, and reduce the overall appetite. If that sounds much easier and more fun, that’s because it is!

The Hypno-Gastric Band

I do NOT offer this treatment, because it is gimmicky and unethical. It involves telling the Subconscious mind something which is not true, and I don’t believe hypnotherapists should ever do that. Also, because the Hypno-Gastric Band treatment is faddy, it is ridiculously expensive and no more effective than what I’ve been doing with hypnosis for over a decade!

“How can I stop eating chocolate?” Here’s Jane’s reply to that!

Hi Chris,
Hope you are well?

I think I may have generated some more business for you! I was in a cafe in Lymm on Saturday and was talking to the owner (not sure of her name) about you and how I hadn’t eaten chocolate for 6-weeks etc. She was fascinated (as were all the other staff members) about what I was saying. She took down your details and said she would contact you this week. I remember her saying one of her weaknesses was wine.

Being Easter I decided to buy myself an Easter egg. I ate half, thoroughly enjoyed it, put the other half in the fridge for another evening. As I lay in bed that night thinking about the other half of the egg in the fridge, I thought I don’t actually want it, I enjoyed what I ate but I really don’t want any more so I brought the remainder into work for my colleague. Now, previously I would have eaten the whole egg in one sitting!!

I am not due to weigh myself until a week on Saturday (only weigh myself once a month) so I don’t know how much more weight I have lost but can definitely feel that I have.

Also, Carol and Fallon loved you, thought you were absolutely brilliant. They too are getting on great and losing weight.

Kind regards
Jane

Three out of three – that just shows the consistency of the Central Hypnotherapy method, and hypnotherapist Chris Holmes’ expertise and experience in this area.

This is what we aim for every time: no cravings, no withdrawal, no over-eating or weight gain. As standard.

“Hi Chris

You said to give you feedback and to let you know how I was getting on… It has been 4 days and 6 hours since my last cigarette! For the first few of days at every trigger point I thought about it – when I left your office, walking down the stairs I thought about it – the main thing I suppose is I don’t want one, the thought is more I would of/could of/ had a cigarette then/now. But I’ve no cravings, no withdrawals, no over eating and as far as I am aware no further habits forming in its place. And with each day the number of times I’ve thought about it are reducing.

Charlotte”

There is a world of difference between thinking about smoking – which I naturally do every day, I’m a therapist specialising in the subject – and wanting to smoke or feeling tempted to smoke. Hypnotherapy doesn’t stop you thinking, it stops you wanting one because it shuts down the cravings and the habit simultaneously. The Central Hypnotherapy method also ensures that there is no weight gain and – as Charlotte confirms – no new habits replacing the smoking one. No other therapy can do that in a single session – only hypnotherapy.

If you would like to be smoke-free like Charlotte, why not call me (Chris) on:

Most diets or healthy eating plans require willpower to stick to, but hypnosis allows you to change without effort. It is the craving system that reminds us when to eat, and if there is a range of foods available, we get an impulse to choose this or that. Notice how that impulse often seems at odds with the new healthy eating regime? That’s because the new regime was a conscious intention but no-one told the Subconscious mind, which sends the impulses (or ‘desires’) that drive our actual behaviour.

During the hypnotherapy session I can explain the new healthy eating options to your Subconscious mind, which will then change what you feel like eating! Here’s a review of the results of such a session I received from Jane by email this very morning:

Hi Chris,

From visiting you on 24th Feb, I feel great, full of energy and I believe it has so much to do with not putting all that rubbish into my body. I haven’t at all been tempted by sweets, crisps, chocolate, cake, fizzy drinks. I have come across these items many times over the past 4 weeks but have just turned away from them. I have to say best money I have ever spent and I have done nothing but sing your praises hence my Sister and my best friend will be visiting you on Saturday. Hope you are keeping well.

Kind regards

Jane

Yes, two more people coming along this weekend already on the strength of that, and really, why wouldn’t you? Who wants to fight battles with themselves when it is not necessary at all? We can also eliminate comfort eating or snacking at the same time, and deal with any emotional triggers that cause overeating. Why not find out more by calling me (Chris) on:
