Ok, I’m going to spend a couple of minutes talking about nail biting and how we can get people to stop nail biting.
It may not seem to those of you who don’t bite their nails a lot, that nail biting is a big issue. However, if you have seen people as I have, and anyone who has been in this business long enough has, turn up with fingers actually bleeding with hardly any trace of any nails, and in tears because they have been like this for years and they can’t stop themselves, seemingly, then you’d know that it can be a serious condition.
Yes, it can be nice to have nice nails, but it’s really nice not to have to chew the ends of your fingers. Now this isn’t therapy, this is training, this is working with your mind so that the patterns which you’ve learned unwittingly to fall into, or to do automatically, are redirected or re-patterned so the combinations we use, combinations built from the fields of Neuro-linguistics, are very direct. It doesn’t matter where or when you started biting your nails, it’s totally irrelevant. What matters is you did learn to do it and there you are caught in an endless loop, sometimes you know you are doing it sometimes you don’t know you’re doing it. It seems to happen all by itself.
Sometimes nail biting can provide what seems to be a perverse pleasure for the nail biter, whatever. Whichever version you are doing you can stop doing it and we can help you.
Typically, because this is a direct behaviour, it’s a very straight forward behaviour, albeit it can seem extremely ingrained, it takes one session. Most of the clients I see to get them stop biting their nails. however extreme, one session does it. Its direct, it’s to the point and I’m confident we can help you with this.
So do call us; either myself, or any of my colleagues throughout the UK or the world. We will be pleased to help you stop biting your nails for good.
I’m going to spend a few minutes talking about how to stop taking Cocaine, how to stop using Cocaine.
I have seen people who turn up with their lives wrecked by taking Cocaine. That’s the way they have described it. They’ve lost their wife, their children, their job. They are up to taking a mound of cocaine every day and it doesn’t do anything for them except it makes them feel horrible; but not quite as horrible as they did before they took it.
Taking any drug, cocaine is no exception to this, is just a habit but it’s a horrible habit, a big habit. Taking cocaine socially for some people seems to be ok; it just keeps them awake it enables them to party longer. However it can very destructive, physically, mentally and emotionally. What I do with this is I use NLP which is training the mind and hypnosis combined to aim the person at the kind of person they want to be.
To begin with, people who come in are hooked, not only on the drug but the idea of the drug. They think about it and it gives them a good feeling, a positive feeling, ‘ahh cocaine, yes, let’s have some’. My job is to disconnect that in their mind, make that a thought of the past, make it distant, but my most important job is to aim them at how they are going to be, in other words if typically the person took several lines of cocaine every Saturday night out partying then I will get them thinking about how they are going to be instead of the problem, instead of the drug. I will get them thinking about it vividly. I will help them to create, in their imagination, a compelling vision of what life is going to be like without the drugs.
What are they going to be doing instead? How much fun are they going to be having? That kind of thing. Building things for them inside their mind because, yes, you can build aversions for things and disconnect things, but the most important aspect of my work is not where the person is coming from, its where they can be when they start aiming themselves at the solution. And the solution to ‘not taking cocaine’ isn’t ‘not taking cocaine’, it’s what their life is going to be like when they are not doing it any more, when they are doing something new. They could even be in the same place at the same party, socialising with the same people and happy and free and relaxed and alive and alert and having fun. That’s what my work is about, aiming at the solution, and the combinations, particularly of NLP which enables people to take control over their thinking in advance (that basically programs them to think how they want to rather than how they don’t) and hypnosis which simply helps them to re-pattern things at an unconscious level, is a very powerful combination. It’s a very powerful combination, so do contact us because we can almost certainly help you with this.
The Squeeze Technique is often recommended as a treatment for premature ejaculation. This technique involves suitable stimulation to the point of ejaculation before stopping, and squeezing the penis until arousal diminishes. This procedure is then repeated.
This frustrating affair is aimed at getting the man to learn how to control his arousal and gain control over his ejaculatory response. It involves an awful lot of masturbation (with, or without, a partner) and takes some time to work, if indeed it works at all.
There is a superior technique that is derived from certain yoga practices that is similar and much more effective. Essentially the man masturbates until the point just before orgasm and then stops. There is no squeezing.
He waits only until the physical need to orgasm subsides by deliberately relaxing the muscles involved in ejaculation. He then starts again to the point just before orgasm. This is repeated as much as possible during each experimental session. Often, in the early stages of experimentation, orgasm will follow a few seconds later in the absence of any ongoing stimulation. This is just fine and is part of the training. You see, the trick here is the begin to learn to separate the orgasm from the muscle contractions of ejaculation. So, if orgasm does occur, it is important not offer any further stimulation, but instead relax the penis and muscles in the perineum (that's the bit between testicles and anus).
At first, during early experiments the typical experience men have is that ejaculation occurs quickly. This is just fine as the response does take a bit of time to develop. Remember, the most important aspect is to relax those crucial muscles during the orgasm.
What starts to develop is the phenomena of the "dry orgasm" and the "multiple orgasm." With sufficient practice, the orgasm can occur with minimal, or even not at all, ejaculation. Invariably, the man will also begin to experience multiple "mini-orgasms" before a full orgasm accompanied by full ejaculation occurs. Even with what appears to be full ejaculation, the sensitisation response in the penis glans that usually prevents further stimulation may not develop and further orgasm with lesser ejaculation is often possible. Without this sensitisation response, the man may feel that whilst he has orgasmed but is not yet "spent".
This, gentlemen, is the aim, and puts you fully in control.
Over Excitability In any given social group, the least emotionally responsive person who promotes the biggest emotional response from other people will be the most dominant person. Their position is, "I am not excitable. You are."
Meanwhile, the most emotionally responsive person who is least able to promote emotional responses in others will be the least dominant person in the group. Their position is, "I am emotionally excitable. You are not." (Unless they get the sympathy vote, of course). Often, but by no means always, the person with PE will be the over-excitable one of the group. Confidence
PE can rapidly affect a man's confidence, but also his level of confidence can rapidly affect his sexual performances. It is a vicious cycle and whilst the biological drive to have sex is ever present, the opportunity for sexual congress can fill him with dread, anxiety and fear.
A lot of confidence comes down to self identity and self-assurance. It is important to explore just how someone imagines themselves to be. Some men will imagine themselves as a sexual failure - and often they did so before they even had any form of sexual experience to prove otherwise. This will often stem from how they saw themselves when they were younger, their perceived place in the social hierarchy amongst their peers and families, and so on.
This place-in-the-social-hierarchy is an important area. In men with either premature ejaculation or psychogenic impotence (as opposed to impotence from a medical disorder) they often are having (or, not having) sex with someone that they view as being more socially dominant, or higher up the social hierarchy than themselves. When people feel intimidated by another person, they rarely perform well, regardless of the situation.
What Therapy Entails As with any symptom that usually manifests in the body I want you to see a doctor first before any hypnotherapy and NLP sessions.
Any embarrassment at seeking help passes quickly, enabling the work to move onward. What I often examine are issues of identity, emotional control, clearing out mental and emotional baggage and how to gain greater control over your thinking and emotions. Now, it is important to know that you won't neceaasrily be magically cured of your PE - it might well take a bit of time and practice on your own before things start to noticably change. The aim of the session is to get you pointed in the right direction to put you firmly in control.

"I started feeling bad about myself as far back as I can remember. I know there was a time where I was just a happy little kid, but I can't remember what that felt like.
I can remember the first time I did it, it grossed me out, and yet when I'd vomited up all the Christmas dinner I'd had that night I remember saying to myself...."they are all too drunk to notice" Recently a person at work (I don't work now, I couldn’t get out of bed anymore and lost my job) said to me she was thinking of trying it. I said to her in a voice I didn't recognize "You don't want to go there". I felt a shutter going down my body and I knew I was in so far I couldn’t see my way out.
My body was swelling, it seemed heavier than ever, I couldn’t sleep, I didn’t want to shower because I’d have to touch my body, and I hated how it felt. I was in a physical form that was foreign to me. I hated myself, my family, my life and I couldn’t get it to stop.
I'd never done any drugs, or addictive substances so when I realized this "caught" feeling was an addiction, it not only surprised me, it scared me!
I was foggy in my thinking. I only thought about where, when, how to get free of others so I could. All my thoughts directed me to the images of me running through stores and grabbing food and stuffing my mouth until I was soon after purging! I didn’t care about throwing up anymore, I never felt full, I always felt empty, even the smallest amount of food inside me felt wrong.
After a while I got more focused on my process. Greater planning. I had a lot of stories running in the back ground of the images I was looking at. Mostly food, everything was big images, pizza's so big you could use them for magic carpets! Muffins the size of space ships...then I saw all the foods there, moving towards me as if they were enticing me to grab them ....
Sometimes my parents faces came in over the foods...but seeing my dads sad eyes or moms anger just drove me to get back to what I was happier to view. My next binge
As soon as I opened my exhausted eyes in the morning, the inner commentary began...and never in the way that guy on "What the Bleep Do we Know" would say of "how he liked to create his day," what a joke. My inner voices were reminding me instantly of the dreaded day ahead. Oh there was a little weak one there in the back ground...suggesting in a rather high pitch "maybe things will be better today", but I squashed that one so fast with the images of last nights binge, the smell of vomit still in my hair, the taste and feel of the acid in my mouth...and all I wanted was last nights left overs to fill the aching sinking feeling inside me.
I knew I was in trouble, I couldn't even think of the last real conversation I'd had with anyone, heck I couldn't even remember clearly the details of yesterday! My parents were so frustrated with me and so afraid of what I was doing and doing to myself, they started hiding food, watching me, like I was a caged animal, and yet I had no where else to go.
Taking the pills seemed a logical way out so I did. Waking up in the hospital and monitored for a week was heaven, I couldn't do anything, and food was monitored for me. Slowly I felt better, but at the end of the week they discharged me and I knew that last day all I was thinking about was where to get the food to binge again. It was my only thought. They set me up with a psychiatrist. It was ok however, talking about it over and over again just made me want to keep doing it and I did, I was right back into it and everyone was so angry with me.
It's like talking to an alcoholic about all his binges - all I could think of coming out of each session was where I was going to get the food. It helped a little...but the 45 minutes a week really I was still sinking back into my darkening world, and I knew it. They gave me medications, that just made my head even fuzzier and I felt almost numb.
My dad found JBW on the web site and suggested I check it out. I called, and then called back and finally decided to take a chance on Kathy because I honestly didn't know what else to do.
And I know today, you probably don't realize you've given me back my life and me and I'm so grateful! Thank you, from everything I am."
It works, NLP is brilliant at unpacking addictive behaviors and restoring "normal" quickly without reviewing the endless past looking for the culprit. Mothers often feel it's their fault, fathers are desperate, as the family slowly comes unraveled...so when they see the resultant changes their daughters (and yes, some sons), go through...there can sometimes be a little residual - "hey what happened here? I thought this was really hard for you to stop?"
Don't be fooled, it was about the hardest thing your daughter will do and when she does it for herself it becomes the cornerstone of her strength and personal power as she regains her life again.
NLP can offer up the solution, the transformation and the life skills to maintain herself the rest of her life, and that’s all we do for her…teach her how to do it for herself.
My program is a full eight sessions with three months following of support via Email, Phone & SKYPE to ensure she breaks forever with the inner addictive patterns and knows just how to help herself if life gets too overwhelming.

Over the last dozen years or so I have seen countess people to get them to stop panic attacks, and as I look back in my mind it’s a question of which stories to share with you.
Panic Attacks And The Businessman
The first that comes to mind was a very high-powered businessman who ran scores of companies (literally) and was in charge of operations whose combined annual turnover was well into the billions. This man had had some kind of virus which had brought on (so the doctors had later told him) shortness of breath, sweating and so forth. When this man experienced those symptoms in a meeting he worried about them (powerfully, he always thought powerfully), thereby making the symptoms worse (shortness of breath, tight chest, dizziness) and within minutes he had collapsed with what everyone thought of at the time as a heart attack.
Panic Attacks Can Sometimes Seem Like Heart Attacks
So an arsenal of super-qualified medics put him through batteries of tests and let him know, to his relief, that he hadn’t had a heart attack, he had had a panic attack.
The Fear Didn’t Go Away
Unfortunately, the knowledge that it wasn’t a heart attack didn’t help him. ‘What if I have another panic attack’ was the thought, and the idea of having a panic attack, the fear of having one, went round and round in his mind. He was OK, he discovered, if he was in familiar situations with people he knew. He was not OK, he found, when he had to go to meetings with people he didn’t know.
Which was, in the main, his job.
That and going out onto the trading floor as the ‘corporate figurehead’ were things he had rapidly learned to dread.
Control And Program The Imagination To Stop Panic Attacks
Panic attacks almost always involve an overblown imagination, or thinking in a very big way, and as I said, he was a powerful thinker, so when he applied his large imagination to the idea of panicking, he was able to produce a substantial amount of adrenalin and fear.
So it was just a question of giving him a sense of perspective, literally getting him to shrink down and distance the thoughts of panic until they didn’t trouble him. It took me two or three hours to do this. Which is not as quick as Richard Bandler sorted a young lady who lived in constant panic for a good reason – she had been on the bus that had been blown to bits on 7/7. For a short article on this by Richard have a look at this - www.happinessmagazine.co.uk - you have to sign up for the first issue but it doesn’t cost anything.

Hypnotherapy and NLP can be wonderful tools to stop someone being jealous, to retrain the mind to respond differently to those ‘trigger’ situations which previously resulted in the green-eyed monster rearing its head. For more info on how we help with the issue of jealousy go here - Stop Being Jealous
How does NLP and Hypnotherapy Stop People From Being Jealous?
Well, there are so many ways the mind can be retrained; here is an example of one.
‘I am the most jealous woman in the world!’
These were the first words from a woman I saw last year. I doubted that she was the most jealous so I asked her what had lead her to that conclusion.
‘I destroyed my boyfriend’s mobile phone last week’, she answered.
Well this certainly didn’t qualify her for the title of the most jealous person in the world, I had seen many clients who had thrown things out of windows, burnt diaries, broken mobile phones and so forth, and I told her this.
‘No, you don’t understand’, she said, ‘I did it with my teeth!’
I looked into her intense non-blinking eyes and asked her if she had been foaming at the mouth at the time.
For a moment I thought I had pushed it a bit far, she looked angry, but then she laughed and said yes, she probably had been foaming at the mouth.
Her boyfriend had been innocent, naturally
Well, not ‘naturally’, come to think about it. Sometimes there is good reason for jealousy but on this occasion there wasn’t, she had just gone through his text messages whilst he was out and found one that she had misinterpreted. Big time.
‘What do you do for a living?’ I asked her, and she said she was a set designer for theatres and TV.
Good, I thought, here’s someone who makes three dimensional images in her head for a living.
Stop Being Jealous – Use The Theatre Of The Mind
Some people will find the following process seems a bit vague when they do it. Typically, though, people who want to stop being jealous have really well developed imaginations and they tend to be fairly full-on emotionally (when they are angry they are very angry, when they are excited they are very excited, and so forth). This isn’t always the case.
What I said to her was this:
‘Close your eyes and find yourself in a big, empty, comfortable imaginary theatre, sitting in the stalls, several rows back, in the kind of place the director might sit in rehearsals.
Now up on the stage see an actress standing there, an actress who looks exactly like you in every detail. Have her standing there, waiting for direction. Now, in your mind, build a set (it’s what she did for a living, after all), a set which exactly resembles a place where typically you may have had a jealous outburst. Now put the other actresses and actors (if there is anyone else there) on stage too, and have them all standing around waiting for you to tell them what to do.
Now run the first act as a horribly outrageously ham acted amateur production of over the top jealousy. See yourself running up and down the stage with flailing arms and wild hair, screaming and bouncing up and down with steam coming out of your ears until you accidentally fall of the stage into the orchestra pit with a big ‘thump’.’
She was smiling at this point.
So we have achieved ‘disassociation’ and ‘humour’ within moments.
‘Now have some oiled body-builders haul you up out of the orchestra pit and straighten your clothing for you. Now set the scene up again, only this time I want you to have the actress up there on the stage give a totally professional Oscar winning performance as someone who is cool, calm and collected in some situation which previously would have caused extreme jealousy. Now run the scene in your mind’s eye, see yourself being totally the person you would like to be, behaving and acting in an ideal way.’
She found this easy
‘Now, go up onto the stage and stand there in the set so that this time when you see the actress give her Oscar winning performance you can see it close up. Move around the stage and see yourself (the actress) from different positions, left profile, right profile, above, behind and in front. See yourself being truly amazing. Now step into the actress and be the actress. Run the scene as if you ARE the Oscar winning actress and at the end, turn and see 5000 people giving you a standing ovation and throwing roses onto the stage.’
There was a bit more to the session than this visualisation technique, but she found it very powerful and liberating to be actually in control of her imagination for a change, rather than having it the other way round.
People who want to stop being jealous have unwittingly learned to respond that way. It doesn’t matter when and where they learned jealousy, what matters is they learn to stop being jealous and these sorts of techniques really do help people to get back in control of their mind.
There is also a hypnosis recording here Overcome Jealousy that can help you to get back in control of your mind, and your life.
Ah, the scourge of modern society (or one of them). These days the news seems to be full of items of rampaging drunken youths in towns and city centres. I occasionally get a rampaging youth as a client, but more usually they are professional people with steady jobs, and a very bad habit.
Now don't get me wrong. I did my fair share of binge drinking when I was younger. No rampaging though, at least as far as I can recall.
A Classic Case Of Binge Drinking
My favorite binge drinking client to date was a self made millionaire who had an extreme drinking habit. When he was a young man he was a successful trader and got into a cycle of binge drinking and would get blitzed every Friday night.Now this was not really a big deal, he never hurt anyone, it didn't harm his career, he exercised and was very fit, and all his friends were party animals.
As the years went by most of his friends moved on, settled down, had families, and indeed, so did he. He left his job in the City and set up what became a hugely successful company of his own.
He didn't stop binge drinking
Unlike his friends, this man had carried on drinking. Now, he didn't drink alcohol at all during the week, but on Friday nights he would go out and get absolutely hopelessly unconsciously drunk. Sometimes he didn't get home until Sunday. His friends would dump him in a hotel (one he had shares in), and that would be that.
His wife had reached breaking point
His wife had put up with a lot through the years and she had given him an ultimatum. She had told him that if he got drunk ever again then there marriage was over. She had said this before, but he knew that she really meant it this time. The following weekend was to be their big annual family barbecue and literally hundreds of people would be there as usual, so this was going to be one of the few Friday's in the year when he wasn't planning to go out. However, through the years every one of his big home parties had ended him with him passing out with excess alcohol and to have that happen again would spell doom for his marriage
He was half an hour late for a one hour appointment
He hadn’t really been late, he had been sitting outside in his Range Rover for half an hour finalising a deal.
‘Sorry about that,’ he said, ‘if I hadn’t made that call I wouldn’t have made £220 000.00 today.'
‘You won’t mind paying for the full hour, then’, I said.
So I was to have half an hour to sort out the most extreme pattern of binge drinking behaviour I had ever seen. Half an hour wasn’t enough for me to do all the various things I normally do, so I told him we were going to play a game.
‘We are going to talk about this coming Saturday night and how you want things to be,’ I said. ‘You are allowed, during this conversation, to tell me what you don’t want to think, feel or experience a total of three times. After that if you do it again I am going to shout at you.’
He didn’t look impressed. I don’t think anyone normally spoke to him in that tone, except his wife, probably.
‘What good will that do?’ He asked.
‘We can discuss it if you like,’ I said, ‘but if we do we will run out of time. You are here now, you may as well do this.’
He agreed, reluctantly. It wasn’t what he had been expected. He had thought I was going to knock him unconscious into trance and switch the binge drinking switch off in his head. (Believe it or not, even that can work with some people).
So I began.
‘What’s the most important thing about this coming Saturday night?' I asked.
‘That I don’t get drunk, he said. He didn’t even hear himself express the negation.
‘That’s One’, I said.
‘Shit!’ he said.
‘I only want you to tell me what you DO want to happen on Saturday night, that’s the only rule’.
‘I will be more careful,’ he said, through gritted teeth.
‘So what do you want to drink on Saturday?’ I asked.
He thought about it carefully, here was a man who was not used to losing, didn’t like to lose, and was going to do his utmost not to lose.
‘I still want to drink some alcoholic drinks’, he said slowly, and then he bit his lip to stop himself saying anything else. I could almost hear his internal dialogue adding ‘but not too many’. But he didn’t say it out loud.
‘How many alcoholic drinks?’ I asked.
‘About one an hour’, he replied.
‘And what do you think that one drink an hour may be, a pint of vodka?’
‘No’, he said, ‘a glass of beer, or a glass of wine perhaps’.
‘We are in the middle of a heat-wave’, I reminded him, ‘chances are the weather will be warm on Saturday evening and you will get thirsty. What are you going to drink to quench your thirst?’
‘Well I am certainly not...’ he began.
‘That’s Two,’ I interrupted.
‘I didn’t actually say it,’ he objected.
‘It’s my game’ I reminded him, ‘and I make the rules. So what are you going to drink on Saturday night?'
‘Soft drinks,’ he said, glaring at me.
‘Which soft drinks?’ I said.
‘Does it matter?’ He asked.
It mattered, I explained, because I wanted him to start to represent (imagine, think, visualise, plan etc) what he was going to do. He wasn’t going to have to stick rigidly to a drinking plan, but it was important that he thought about things a little more completely. He decided that diet coke and water would be OK. We chatted a bit more and then I reminded him that his friends would not be expecting him to drink moderately.
‘They will bring you drinks,’ I said, ‘They will say things like - Hey Bill (his name wasn’t Bill but I don’t think he would like his real name broadcasted), it’s your party! What are you playing at? Have a beer!’
‘Well I am not going to be silly enough to take any notice of them.’ He said.
‘That’s Three!’ I cried, ‘one more and I get to shout at you.’
I could see he was angry, I wasn’t sure how much he was angry with himself, and how much with me. I pressed on.
‘What time do you want to go to bed?’ I asked.
‘When the party is over,’ he replied bluntly.
‘And what time will that be, do you think?’ I said.
He looked blank. He had never been conscious at ‘party-over’ time, he had invariably collapsed with the drink some time before, generally after doing something dramatic like projectile vomiting into one of his swimming pools. He finally decided that it would be about 2am – 3am. We chatted through likely ‘danger’ times for him and he carefully answered with what he was going to do. Then I asked him another question.
‘How do you want to feel when you go to bed?’
He thought about it...
‘I want to feel like I have had a really had a good party, like I have had an excellent time, drunk alcohol sensibly and not got paralytic for once’.
So I shouted at him. ‘STOP!!!’
I really made him jump, and he wasn’t at all sure how to react. He was annoyed and slightly confused and disoriented, so I just carried on regardless.
‘And when you wake up in the morning, how do you want to feel’, I asked.
He sighed.
‘It would be wonderful,’ he said, 'just to wake up in the morning without a hangover for once.'
So I shouted at him again.
And this time he laughed.
He laughed at me but most of all he laughed at himself. There were tears running down his face. And his half hour was over.
He came back to see me the following week (half an hour late again).
‘What do you want?’ I said, as I always do.
‘I want to continue to be able to control my drinking easily,’ he smiled. ‘I can’t believe how easy it can be when you put your mind to it.’
And that was that. I spoke to him about a year later when he rang to see if I could help one of his friends with an unrelated issue and he told me that the binge drinking had stopped totally, except for one time when he had been on a stag weekend, and that was OK because he had planned to do it.
If you want to stop binge drinking then PLAN what you ARE going to do. Hypnotherapy and NLP are a very potent combination (and we don’t usually shout at out clients!). For more info on how we treat binge drinking issues go here Treatments To Stop Binge Drinking – or for an excellent set of recordings that deal with excessive drinking issues go here Stop Binge Drinking NLP And Hypnosis. It is possible, and often very easy, to retrain the mind out of the habit of binge drinking, I have done this with people on scores of occasions. It usually takes more than just relentlessly getting the client to think about what they are going to do (as opposed to what they are not going to do), but 'planning' is always a core issue.
This has become something of a specialist area for me, though I certainly didn’t plan this to happen. It’s just that the results tend to be so positive, so quickly, and I have had so many testimonials from satisfied ex-bulimics, that my work with eating disorders, and especially the NLP treatment for bulimia, has snowballed.
The Marie Claire Article
But it wasn’t until Marie Claire wrote a piece about NLP a few years ago that things really took off. I remember when I got the call.
‘Hi’, the woman said, ‘I am from Marie Claire and we are doing a piece on NLP, we have got someone to do spider phobia and someone to do stopping smoking and we would like you to write something about weight loss’.
We are often approached by the press to help with articles and many of us have been on the radio and some of us have been on TV. Whilst ‘weight loss’ is a hugely important issue (pun intended) I wanted to do something more ‘interesting’ after all, there are lots of methods that work to help someone to lose weight (believe it or not). And anyway, I had just that day had news that the two women for whom I had given treatment for bulimia the previous week had both stopped doing it.
A Piece On How To Cure Bulimia
‘What about a piece on bulimia’, I said, and the journalist thought it was a great idea, all she wanted me to do was provide her with an ex client who was willing to appear in Marie Claire, with a photograph, and tell the world about her recovery.
I put the phone down and thought ‘damn’, where am I going to find an ex client who is willing to do that.’ After all, most people who do, or have done bulimia usually don’t shout about it from the rooftops, and some have never told anyone about their problem (one kept her bulimia to herself for thirty five years...)
By a staggering coincidence (not that I believe in coincidences), a woman called Claire rang me about two hours later.
‘You probably don’t remember me,’ she said, I came to see you about a year ago and you cured my bulimia and I have a friend who wants your help with something else.
‘Claire’, I said, ‘how would you like to be in Marie Claire. She agreed immediately. Sometimes things just fall into place beautifully, don’t you think?
The Treatment Of Bulimia With NLP And Hypnotherapy
And then I thought, ‘how on earth am I going to put what I do into words?’
In the end I wrote a very long piece which is printed in full in the ‘Cure Bulimia’ section of this website, here - Treatment Of Bulimia Article - they only used part of it in the magazine.
Sometimes self hypnosis recordings can be very effective in the treatment of bulimia, have a look at the online shop on JustBeWell.com here Overcome Bulimia or on my USA based site here – Self Help For Bulimia
Please feel free to comment after reading the article and also have a read through the many pages of testimonials from clients for whom this form of treatment for bulimia has worked.
