Recognising the need for help is often one of the biggest steps on the road to recovery. But once the initial decision has been made there are numerous issues to consider - practical and otherwise. What about, for example, location, money, professionalism?

This is where Hypnotherapy Directory comes in. It was set up to provide a simple, easy, and most importantly un-daunting way of connecting people that need help with the people that provide it. A comprehensive searching tool, the site allows postcode, town and country searches of the whole of the UK, and produces a list of hypnotherapists registered in this area. Each hypnotherapist has a profile, listing a bit about themselves, their approaches, what areas they deal with, and all their training, qualification and experience and fees.

The site shows which hypnotherapists are registered/accredited with a professional body, and full profiles are only displayed after insurance and qualification documents are checked or membership with a professional body has been verified.

Hypnotherapy Directory has also become a huge information bank - there are articles written by hypnotherapists, as well as comprehensive information on all kinds of distress - from depression to eating disorders to phobias, to help people identify their problems and become informed, not scared.

“Professor David Spiegel, of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, wants the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) to sanction sweeping changes.

He will tell the Royal Society of Medicine on Monday that Nice should add hypnotherapy to its list of approved therapeutic techniques for the treatment of conditions ranging from allergies and high blood pressure to the pain associated with cancer treatment and bone marrow transplantation.”

Hypnotherapy Outperforms Other Treatment Approaches for Smoking Cessation CME

October 23, 2007 (Chicago) - Of hospitalized smokers who receive hypnotherapy, 50% show sustained quit rates 6 months after discharge, investigators reported here at CHEST 2007, the American College of Chest Physicians 73rd Annual Scientific Assembly.

This is twice the success rate of smokers who quit "cold turkey," which is even higher than the sustained quit rate with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), principal investigator Faysal M. Hasan, MD, of North Shore Medical Center in Salem, Massachusetts, reported yesterday during a news briefing.

Dr. Hasan and colleagues studied 67 patients admitted to their institution with a cardiopulmonary diagnosis and a willingness to stop smoking. Patients were divided into 4 groups. The control group quit smoking without any supportive treatment, a second group underwent hypnotherapy, a third group received NRT, and the fourth group received both hypnotherapy and NRT.

Patients selected their own treatment approach, which Dr. Hasan explained was strongly influenced by their previous experiences with smoking cessation, with most patients choosing a different method.

Women were more likely to choose hypnotherapy, whereas men were more likely to choose a patch or go cold turkey. The men were looking for the "quick fix," news panel moderator Frank T. Leone, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Pittsburgh, commented.

At 26 weeks postdischarge from the hospital, 25% of the control group, 15.78% of the NRT group, and 50% of both the hypnotherapy and hypnotherapy-plus-NRT groups remained smoking free.

"Adding NRT did not help" improve efficacy of hypnotherapy, Dr. Hasan said.

Dr. Hasan told Medscape Pulmonary Medicine that motivation is the key to success in any treatment approach: "Patients made their own [treatment] choice - this is important," he said. "Smoking cessation is only going to work if the patient is motivated."

Hypnosis and bowel inflammation

2008-07-08T06:56:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis therapy may help ease some of the bowel inflammation seen in ulcerative colitis, a small study suggests.

Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes chronic inflammation in the lining of the colon and rectum, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. There a number of medications for the disorder, but there is some research to suggest that hypnosis could serve as an additional therapy.

For example, "hypnotherapy" has been shown to aid irritable bowel syndrome and ulcers -- conditions that, like colitis, involve inflammation and can be worsened by psychological stress.

For the current study, UK researchers had 17 patients with active ulcerative colitis undergo a 50-minute session of "gut-focused" hypnotherapy aimed at relaxation and relief of inflammation. Another eight patients, who acted as a "control" group, listened to their choice of music for 50 minutes.

Afterward, the researchers found, blood levels of IL-6 -- a marker of inflammation in the body -- fell by 53 percent in the hypnosis group, whereas music listeners showed no substantial change.

Similarly, certain other chemical markers of inflammation declined in the hypnosis group, but not in the control group, the investigators report in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

"This work shows that a single short session of hypnosis can return some of the chemical changes in the bowel associated with inflammation back towards normal in patients with ulcerative colitis," senior researcher Dr. David S. Rampton, of Barts and the London, Queen Mary School of Medicine and Dentistry, told Reuters Health.

Exactly why hypnosis might ease inflammation is not clear. According to Rampton's team, the therapy might have direct effects on colon activity or it might affect people's pain tolerance or perceptions of their symptoms.

The current findings, Rampton said, provide "a scientific basis for a properly designed clinical trial" to see whether hypnotherapy, given over weeks or months, might benefit people with ulcerative colitis.

He noted that it could also be worthwhile to study hypnosis for people with Crohn's disease, another form of inflammatory bowel disease.

Hypnotherapy as an aid to smoking cessation of hospitalized patients: preliminary results

AUTHOR(S): Hasan FM, Pischke, K, Saiyed S, Macys D and McCleary

NDATE: Oct 2007

DESIGN: Self-selected trial

SUBJECTS: 67 patients admitted with a cardiopulmonary diagnosis

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of hypnosis in smoking cessation in hospitalised patients.

INTERVENTIONS: Subjects contemplating quitting were recruited into 4 groups: Control subjects who preferred to quit "cold turkey" (C), hypnotherapy alone (H), Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and both hypnotherapy and NRT (NRTH). Subjects were allowed to self select their group. All subjects received self-help brochures. Control subjects received brief counselling, but other groups received intensive counselling, free supply of NRT and/or a free hypnotherapy session within 7 days of discharge. These groups also had follow up telephone calls at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 26 weeks after discharge. Point prevalence rates for smoking were compared among the four groups at 26 weeks.

RESULTS: At 26 weeks after discharge, 4/12 of control subjects (25.0%), 7/14 in H (50.0%), 3/19 in NRT (15.78%) and 9/18 in NRTH (50%.0) groups were non-smokers. Patients admitted with a cardiac diagnosis were more like to quit at 26 weeks (45.5%) than patients admitted with a pulmonary diagnosis (15.63%).

CONCLUSIONS: Hypnotherapy after hospital discharge can be an effective mode of smoking cessation, comparing favourably with NRT alone.

One Session ?

2008-01-26T03:23:00.000-08:00

Many people believe that it has to take a long time to solve a problem - not me !

Over the years I have found that real changes can happen in only a single session of hypnosis - witness the exraordinary success of single session hypnotherapy to stop smoking, for example.

The power of expectation has been written about by all walks of therapists and I know that if you want and truly expect to change and if the therapist shares this belief too the wonderful things can and will happen.

In 2008 I expect to see many more clients who are ready and primed for change - hypnosis is merely the catalyst helping to make that happen.

A London Hypnotherapist's review of 2007

2007-12-27T05:16:00.000-08:00

Looking back over 2007 one thing I have noticed is how hypnosis for weight loss has been less in demand than ever before.

Stop smoking has been stable despite a fall in demand when the UK smoking ban came to offices, pubs etc . I assume many people have just stopped of their own accord simply because it is now so hard to find somewhere to smoke - it's even banned in the home sometimes !

One thing that has increased is the amount of people wanting to overcome fears and build confidence - I wonder if this trend will continue in 2008 ?

Research on hypnosis and weight loss

2007-12-06T01:37:00.000-08:00

2 Years Later Hypnosis Subjects Continued To Lose Significant Weight

109 people completed a behavioral treatment for weight management either with or without the addition of hypnosis. At the end of the 9-week program, both interventions resulted in significant weight reduction. At 8-month and 2-year follow-ups, the hypnosis subjects were found to have continued to lose significant weight, while those in the behavioral-treatment-only group showed little further change.

More research on IBS

2007-12-06T01:19:00.000-08:00

DESIGN: Systematic review of literature

OBJECTIVE: To review the literature evaluating hypnotherapy in the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

INTERVENTIONS: Electronic databases were searched, bibliographic references scanned and main authors contacted, with no restrictions on language or publication year. Studies which were eligible for the review involved adults with IBS using single-component hypnotherapy.

RESULTS: 299 references were identified, 20 studies and two case series were eligible, including four randomised, two controlled and 12 uncontrolled studies, which demonstrated that hypnotherapy is effective in IBS management, but the numbers of subjects in each study were small. Only one trial scored more than four out of eight on internal validity.

CONCLUSIONS: The published evidence suggests that hypnotherapy is effective in the management of IBS, with 10 of 18 trials indicating a significant benefit. A good quality randomized placebo-controlled trial is required, suggesting that at present, treatment with hypnosis should be restricted to specialist centres caring for the more severe forms of the disorder

Hypnosis and post-operative pain

2007-09-24T10:45:00.000-07:00

A new study has been released which has been studying women both before and after breast cancer surgery. The researchers were particularly trying to discover the effect of hypnosis on easing pain and what they found was that the women who received hypnosis prior to cancer surgery required less anesthesia while under going the operation.
The normal side affects of cancer surgery are fatigue, pain and nausea; and hypnosis helped to deal with these symptoms. 200 women took part in the study, and each woman received 15 minutes of hypnosis, either individually or in a group. In these 15 minute periods, the women were given suggestions on how to relax, shown pleasing imagery, instructed how to hypnotise themselves and given advice on how to reduce fatigue, nausea and pain.
From New York City's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Guy Montgomery, associate professor in the department of oncological sciences who is also the report's lead author, said "This helps women at a time when they could use help, and it has no side effects. It really only has side benefits,"
Additional side benefits to having hypnosis prior to surgery was that the patients spent 11 minutes less undergoing surgery and also their costs were reduced by £370 as they spent less time in hospital and under doctors care.
"This is something that empowers patients," said Dr David Spiegel header led a similar study and explained. "If you're fighting, you think you're protecting yourself, but, actually, you're losing control, because you're getting into a struggle with your own body. You can teach people to float instead of fighting. You get the body comfortable and think more clearly. The weird thing is it actually works. If thoughts can make the body worse, it follows that thoughts could actually make the body feel better."

Hypnosis and IVF treatment - 2004 research

2007-06-16T04:29:00.000-07:00

If Israeli professor Eliahu Levitas has his way, women undergoing IVF treatment will all have the benefit of a hypnotist at their bedside.
According to Levitas’s team from Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, hypnosis can double the success of IVF treatment. Levitas’s study of 185 women found that 28% of women in the group who were hypnotized became pregnant, compared with 14% of those who were not.
6.1 million American women and their partners experience infertility, according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. Of those about 5% choose in-vitro fertilization treatment.
IVF is a method of assisted reproduction in which the man’s sperm and the woman’s egg (oocyte) are combined in a laboratory dish, where fertilization occurs. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus to develop naturally. Usually, two to four embryos are transferred with each cycle.
According to the latest statistics, the success rate for IVF is similar to the 20% chance that a healthy, reproductively normal couple has of achieving a pregnancy that results in a live born baby in any given month. IVF was successfully used for the first time in the United States in 1981. Since then, more than 114,000 babies in the US have been born as a result of the technique.
The Israeli study - the first of its kind - was presented last month by Levitas to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Berlin. According to Levitas, the findings will be published shortly in an American medical journal.
The Israeli researchers were looking to see if hypnosis could make the embryo transfer stage of IVF more successful.
“We gave hypnosis to a group of our patients during the most stressful part of IVF treatment - the transferring of embryos into the uterus,” Levitas told ISRAEL21c. “It’s a crucial point of the treatment, and the point in which the embryos comes in contact with the womb of the woman. It all builds up to that special moment, which is not very painful but is very stressful.”
According to Levitas, that stress can cause complications during the transfer that can put the procedure at risk.
“Studies have been done before which claim that during this short period, there’s so much stress in the woman’s body that it may induce contractions, albeit tiny ones, which may interrupt or even expel the embryos from the uterus at the same moment we’re introducing them,” he said.
“Other techniques have been employed like relaxants and tranquilizers, but nothing has worked well. On the other hand, hypnosis has been known for many years for producing central relaxation, and has even been used before surgical interventions to calm patients,” said Levitas.
Women undergoing IVF were assessed to see if they were suitable to be hypnotized.
“Those women that were interested signed a consent form and underwent hypnosis by Soroka’s Dr. Aldo Parmet, a gyncelogist who’s licensed to perform hypnosis. All the patients were interviewed prior and Dr. Parmet established which patients where more likely to be hypnotized,” said Levitas.
Eighty-nine women were then given hypnosis while their embryos were implanted. Some underwent more than one cycle of IVF treatment. Ninety-six other women underwent embryo transfers without hypnosis. All received one cycle each.
The results showed that the hypnotized women resulted in double the amount of pregnancies of those that weren’t hypnotized.
“Performing embryo transfer under hypnosis may significantly contribute to an increased clinical pregnancy rate,” Levitas told the conference in Berlin.
Given logistical and financial constraints, Levitas sees no reason why hypnotism shouldn’t be an option for all woman undergoing IVF treatment, and he hopes the publication of the Soroka study will raise enough interest to spark continued investigations of the approach.
“The bottom line is I think it’s a good thing, it will work. Patients should be given the option if the facilities are available.”

Hypnosis and IBS - more news

2007-06-04T03:56:00.000-07:00

The British Medical Journal recently published findings from a team of experts from Kings College London who have been investigating irritable bowel syndrome. What they discovered is that there is increasing evidence to show that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has psychological causes as well as physiological ones and these can be alleviated with hypnosis.
This led to the recommendation that doctors would be wise to suggest psychological treatments such as hypnosis and antidepressants to patients with IBS. This is particularly in light of the observation that the regular medicines provided to IBS sufferers do not work fully and sometimes even not at all.
IBS has several symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea and regular abdominal pain to name a few. Scientists are now thinking that the drugs being administered are not really effective because in the majority of IBS cases the causes are a combination of physical and mental factors.
Consultant Dr Ian Forgacs, gastroenterologist at Kings College said: "Patients with irritable bowel syndrome should be made aware of the existence of these treatments so that they can make informed choices," and "specifically, they should be made aware that using a psychological treatment does not mean that the disease is 'all in the mind'." Dr Forgacs discovered that "talking-therapies" like cognitive behavioral therapy produced the best results especially in the more distressed patients.
When hypnosis was used the therapist would focus on relaxation and get the patient to imagine a river flowing rapidly and then get them to imagine it flowing smooth and slow.
Dr Forgacs added that despite the success achieved by using hypnosis and other therapeutic practices there were a shortage of skilled therapists available so not all IBS sufferers would be able to avail of this method.

Enhancing thought suppression with hypnosis

AUTHOR(S): Bryant, R., Wimalaweera, S.DATE: October 2006
SUBJECTS: 39 high- and 40 low-hypnotisable participants

OBJECTIVE: On the premise that hypnosis may permit more effective management of cognitive load, it was hypothesized that hypnosis may enhance more effective thought suppression. The research examined whether the obstacle of cognitive load could be bypassed using hypnosis to facilitate successful thought suppression.

INTERVENTIONS: Participants were hypnotized and received either a suppression instruction or no instruction for a memory of an embarrassing experience and subsequently completed a sentence-unscrambling task that indexed accessibility of embarrassing thoughts.

RESULTS: Low hypnotisables instructed to suppress displayed a delayed increase in suppressed thoughts, whereas highly hypnotisables did not.

CONCLUSIONS: Hypnosis facilitates thought suppression.

Taking time out

2006-12-05T05:45:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the long delay in keeping this blog up to date - things have been so busy.

However I want to say something about how hypnosis can be used to lessen the day to day stress we all seem to suffer from - especially as it gets closer to Christmas!

Many people think of trying meditation as a way of helping them relax - but give up as they find it too difficult to achieve the " right" state of mind. Perhaps they should consider self-hypnosis - you can even learn it from Cds and , in my own experience , it is a lot easier to learn and do than meditation.

Give it a try!

Brain Imaging in Neurosciences - An Interdisciplinary Approach

AUTHOR(S): Halsband, U.DATE: June 2006
DESIGN: Experiment
SUBJECTS: Seven right-handed volunteers with high-hypnotic susceptibility
OBJECTIVE: This study examined a fundamental question: Is verbal memory processing in hypnosis and in the waking state mediated by a common neural system or by distinct cortical areas?

INTERVENTIONS: Subjects were PET-scanned while encoding/retrieving word associations either in hypnosis or in the waking state. Word-pairs were visually presented and highly imaginable, but not semantically related (e.g. monkey-street). The presentation of pseudo-words served as a reference condition. An emission scan was recorded after each intravenous administration of O-15 water. (Result 1.) In order to further analyze the effect of hypnosis on imagery-mediated learning, sets of high-imagery word-pairs and sets of abstract words were administered. In the first experimental condition word-pair associations were presented visually. (Result 2.) RESULT - 1: Encoding under hypnosis was associated with more pronounced bilateral activations in the occipital cortex and the prefrontal areas as compared to learning in the waking state. During memory retrieval of word-pairs which had been previously learned under hypnosis, activations were found in the occipital lobe and the cerebellum. Under both experimental conditions precuneus and prefrontal cortex showed a consistent bilateral activation which was most distinct when the learning had taken place under hypnosis.

RESULT - 2: In the second condition it was found that highly hypnotisable persons recalled significantly more high-imagery words under hypnosis as compared to low-hypnotisables both in the visual and auditory modality. Furthermore, high-imagery words were also better recalled by the highly hypnotisable subjects during the non-hypnotic condition. The memory effect was consistently present under both, immediate and delayed recall conditions.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings advance the understanding of the neural representation that underlies hypnosis and the neuropsychological correlates of hypnotic susceptibility.

Impact of hypnosis during embryo transfer on the outcome of in vitro fertilization – embryo transfer: a case-control study
AUTHOR(S): Levitas, E., Parmet, A., Lunenfeld, E., Bentov, Y., Burstein, E., Friger, M., Potashnik, G. DATE: April, 2006 DESIGN: Case-control clinical study SUBJECTS: Infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether hypnosis during embryo transfer (ET) contributes to successful IVF/ET outcome.

INTERVENTIONS: 98 IVF/ET cycles with hypnosis during the ET procedure were matched with 96 regular IVF/ET cycles.

RESULTS: 52 clinical pregnancies were obtained out of 98 cycles (53.1%) with an implantation rate of 28% among hypnosis IVF/ET cycles, and 29 out of 96 (30.2%) clinical pregnancies and an implantation rate of 14.4% in the control cycles. The overall IVF program pregnancy rate for the same period was 32.1%. Logistic regression analysis emphasised the positive contribution of hypnosis to the IVF/ET conception rates.

CONCLUSIONS: Use of hypnosis during ET may significantly improve the IVF/ET cycle outcome in terms of increased implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. Furthermore, patients' attitude to the treatment was more favourable. SOURCE: Fertility and Sterility. At time of publication, article in press.

Indirect Hypnosis

One of the great debates between hypnotherapists of different traditions concerns the efficacy of direct and indirect hypnosis.

I was trained in the latter by Stephen Brooks and you can find out more about him and this method by visiting www.indirect-hypnosis.com

Nowadays I tend to use a mixture of direct and indirect methods as clients may not always respond to one approach - but I will say that indirect hypnosis is much more challenging for the therapist - please have a look at the site !

In the days before reliable anaesthetics hypnosis was often used as a means of pain control - Dr James Esdaille , for example, performed hundreds of operations in India using hypnosis to virtually anaesthetise patients.

Even the British Medical Association realised the power of hypnosis to manage pain in a report published in the late 19th century.

Hypnotic suggestion reduces conflict in the human brain

AUTHOR(S): Raz A., Fan J., Posner M. DATE: July 12, 2005
DESIGN: Experiment
SUBJECTS: 16 neurologically healthy volunteers with normal colour vision: 8 highly hypnotisable and 8 with poor hypnotisability.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether involuntary conflict reduction through specific hypnotic suggestions can also be associated with decreased anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activation.

INTERVENTIONS: Combined neuroimaging methods to provide high temporal and spatial resolution and studied strong and weak hypnotic subjects both with and without a suggestion to interpret visual words as nonsense strings.

RESULTS: Functional MRI data revealed that under posthypnotic suggestion, both ACC and visual areas presented reduced activity in highly hypnotizable persons compared with either no-suggestion or less-hypnotizable controls. Scalp electrode recordings in highly hypnotizable subjects also showed reductions in posterior activation under suggestion, indicating visual system alterations.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings illuminate how suggestions affect cognitive control by modulating activity in specific brain areas, including early visual modules. They also provide a more scientific account relating the neural effects of suggestion to placebo.

From the Intl Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis Jan 2006:

Hypnosis treatment often improves irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but the costs and reliance on specialized therapists limit its availability. A 3-month home-treatment version of a scripted hypnosis protocol previously shown to improve all central IBS symptoms was completed by 19 IBS patients. Outcomes were compared to those of 57 matched IBS patients from a separate study receiving only standard medical care. Ten of the hypnosis subjects (53%) responded to treatment by 3-month follow-up (response defined as more than 50% reduction in IBS severity) vs. 15 (26%) of controls. Hypnosis subjects improved more in quality of life scores compared to controls. Anxiety predicted poor treatment response. Hypnosis responders remained improved at 6-month follow-up. Although response rate was lower than previously observed in therapist-delivered treatment, hypnosis home treatment may double the proportion of IBS patients improving significantly across 6 months.

Stop smoking hypnosis is very popular at this time of year and clients often wonder what is the main way in which hypnosis creates behavioural change.

Well different hypnotherapists will give different answers - ie some will advocate NLP techniques , others visualisation.

One rather old-fashioned one I like using is repetition - or the compounding if suggestions. We do respond to repetition don't we? Isn't it one of the best ways to learn the times tables for example? Similarly it can work for creating changes in habits.
