Food Vouchers for Pregnant Women Who Stop Smoking in Essex

2009-02-23T14:00:00.001-08:00

Pregnant smokers are being offered up to £100 in supermarket food vouchers if they stop smoking.

Women who successfully stop smoking for one week will be offered £20 in food vouchers, with the amount rising to £40 after four weeks. Another £40 will be given after the woman has stopped smoking for one whole year.

The idea is currently under trial by regions covered by the North East Essex NHS.

Women will be expected to successfully pass regular carbon monoxide tests.

The scheme will be trialed until March 2009.

Anti-Smoking Advisors Use the 'Power' of Children

2009-02-23T13:30:00.001-08:00

Children are being encouraged to put pressure on their parents to stop smoking.

Children as young as three years of age are being given smoking related health lectures in their schools and nurseries, in a attempt to get them to put pressure on their parents to stop smoking.

Anti-smoking campaigners use models of the lungs of smokers to show how they differ from those of non-smokers.

The anti-smoking campaign, being run by Colchester and Tendring NHS Stop Smoking Service has been criticised as being potentially frightening to young children, although those running the campaign claim that it is run in a ‘delicate’ manner.
Colchester and Tendring NHS Stop Smoking Service is also running another controversial trial, whereby pregnant women are being paid in supermarket vouchers if they stop smoking.

Official figures show that the number of smokers in the UK have reached an all time low, with only 21% of UK adults now smoking.

This is claimed to show that the UK smoking ban, along with more aggressive government campaigns are working.

The aim of the campaign to get children to put pressure on their parents to stop smoking includes a reduction in the effect of passive smoking on the children.

In addition to this, it is hoped to have a knock-on effect, in that children who grow up in a non-smoking household, are far less likely to take up smoking themselves.

Bar Staff See Benefits of Smoking Ban

2009-02-23T12:30:00.001-08:00

A study of bar staff has shown that their health has benefitted from the smoking ban.

The study of almost 200 Scottish bar staff has shown that they report a significant decrease in breathing difficulties in the year following the Scottish smoking ban in 2006.

The bar staff also reported that they had fewer sore throats in that period.

One surprising effect of the smoking ban shown by the study, is that there was also a decrease in breathing problems amongst bar staff who smoke themselves.

The study, funded by NHS Health Scotland and the Scottish Government, showed that those bar staff who reported respiratory problems fell from 69% to 57% following the smoking ban.

Number of UK Smokers Hits All Time Low Following Smoking Ban

2009-02-23T12:00:00.001-08:00

Following the smoking ban coming in to force in the UK, the number of smokers has reached an all time low.

This also follows on from the UK government’s health campaigns which have increased in recent years.

Official UK figures show that the number of adults in the UK who smoke is now down to 21%. This is a dramatic decline on the 45% of UK adults who smoked in the mid 70’s.

The number of cigar smokers in the UK has dropped from 34% to 2% in the same period.

The official figures also show that 59% of adults have never smoked, which is also a record number of life-long non-smokers.

Around 50% of current smokers say that they started smoking before the age of 16.

Social class also seems to have an effect on the likelihood of smoking, with around 15% of ‘professionals’ smoking, with the number of ‘manual’ workers who smoke being around 27%.

People in their early twenties are the most likely to smoke (over 30%), and there is currently an increase in the number of teenagers who smoke (currently around 22% of teenagers smoke).

The Tobacco Advisory Group says that although the overall drop in UK smokers shows that the government smoking ban and stronger warnings are working, the trend amongst teenage smokers is still a concern.

NHS Costs to Help People Stop Smoking rises over £200 per person.

2009-02-23T11:00:00.001-08:00

NHS figures have shown that the cost to the NHS of helping people to stop smoking has risen above the £200 mark, and is in fact £244 per person.

The number of people stopping smoking with NHS services had dropped, despite the fact that the NHS is currently spending more than £33,000,000 per quarter on helping people to stop smoking.

The rise in NHS spending, and the drop in the number of people using the service, means that the average cost per smoker has risen to £244.

NHS figures show that around 50% of those who stop smoking with NHS services will still not be smoking approximately one month after stopping smoking.

NHS stop smoking services use a range of techniques to help people to stop smoking, including nicotine replacement products (such as nicotine gum, nicotine patches and nicotine inhalers), as well as drug based products such as Zyban and Champix.

Pregnant Women Fear Being Judged By Their Doctor

2009-02-23T10:30:00.001-08:00

Many pregnant women who would like to stop smoking for the health of their unborn child, are afraid of asking their doctor for help, fearing they may be judged negatively for smoking while pregnant, it has been claimed.

As many as 40% of pregnant smokers have hidden the fact that they smoke from their midwives or doctors, for fear of being judged.

The figures have been released in an effort to help the 17% of pregnant women who smoke while they are pregnant to stop smoking.

Smoking during pregnancy can cause premature birth, underweight babies, and a loss of oxygen in the bloodstream of the smoker, which in turn affects the unborn baby.

While the NHS provides stop smoking services, many women never use the service in fear that if they approach their doctor, they may be criticized for smoking while pregnant.

Plans to Remove Cigarette Displays in Northern Ireland

2009-02-23T10:00:00.001-08:00

Plans are currently being considered in Northern Ireland which, if approved, would see cigarette displays being removed from shops.

The plans would also restrict access to vending machines, in an attempt to prevent cigarettes being accessible to young people.

It is hoped that the plans will be passed and put in place as early as 2010, and may help to prevent young people from taking up smoking. It is also hoped that the ban will help adults to stop smoking.

Smokers Would Stop Smoking for the Health of Their Pets

2009-02-23T09:30:00.000-08:00

Smokers are more likely to stop smoking for the health of their pets, than for their own health.

A US survey of over 3,000 pet owners has shown that their pets’ health is a greater motivator for them to stop smoking than their own health concerns.

Of the pet owners who were told about the effects of passive smoking on their pets, almost 30% said that they would try to stop smoking so that their pets’ health wasn’t effected by passing smoking.

Many pet owning smokers don’t realise that their smoking can have a detrimental effect on their pets’ health, with many pets developing lung cancer, eye problems, respiratory conditions, skin disease and other illnesses due to second-hand smoke.

Many people who lived with smokers (but weren’t smokers themselves) also said that they would encourage their partners to stop smoking for the benefit of their pet.

Underage Smokers Offered Money to Stop Smoking

2009-02-23T09:02:00.001-08:00

The NHS in Brighton and Hove is to offer underage smokers cash to stop smoking.

Smokers under 18 years of age will be offered £15 in vouchers if they successfully stop smoking.

Those running the stop smoking scheme have said that although the amount of money isn’t great, it can often be enough to motivate someone who is thinking of stopping smoking to ask for help.

Under 18’s are often influenced greatly by peer pressure, and the financial benefit of the scheme may give the idea of stopping smoking a more ‘street credible’ edge.

Children as young as ten years old have taken advantage of the scheme since its inception.

It is reported that one in every hundred children aged 11 regularly smoke in the Brighton and Hove area, with that percentage rising to 20% by the time the children reach 15 years of age.

The scheme also pays pregnant teenage girls to stop smoking.

Paruresis (Shy Bladder)

2009-02-23T01:31:00.001-08:00

Article by Paul Douglass D.Hyp. Adv. MIAPH. Acc.
Avon Hypnotherapy

In this article, we'll look at paruresis (shy bladder), and see what it is, and what you can do about it.

We'll cover...

What is Paruresis?
How Many People are Affected by Paruresis?
What is Paruresis Also Known As?
How Severe Can Paruresis Be?
Does Paruresis Matter?
What Causes Paruresis?
When Can Paruresis Start?
What Do People with Paruresis Do to Get Around It?
Can Paruresis be a Symptom of Something Else?
Can Hypnotherapy Help with Paruresis?
Will I Feel Comfortable Asking for Help with Paruresis?
What to Do Now

What is Paruresis?

Paruresis is a condition where the person cannot urinate in front of other people, or where they think there may be other people present.

Paruresis may manifest itself by the person not being able to start to urinate when they feel there are other people there, or the urination may involuntarily stop if someone else should enter the room.

Paruresis is an involuntary clenching of the muscles that cause the urine stream to stop.

It is quite common for anyone to experience this at some point in their life, but where paruresis is concerned, the person will find that it happens regularly enough to be a real hindrance in day-to-day life.

How Many People are Affected by Paruresis?

Paruresis can affect both men and women, although because paruresis often occurs in public toilets, paruresis can often seem to affect men more because of the presence of urinals in male public toilets.

A man with paruresis can sometimes feel embarrassed queuing for a cubicle in a public toilet when there a urinals available.

Paruresis can also cause embarrassment to a man who starts to urinate into a urinal in an empty public toilet, only for the ‘flow’ to seemingly ‘cut itself off’ when someone else comes into the room!

What is Paruresis Also Known As?

Paruresis is also known as...

Shy Bladder (or shy bladder syndrome)
Urophobia
Shy Kidneys
Fear of Toilets
Bashful Bladder
Pee Shyness
Toilet Phobia
Shy Cock
Restroom Phobia
Avoidant Paruresis
Fear of the Restroom
Psychological Urinary Retention

How Severe Can Paruresis Be?

In less severe cases, paruresis may only affect the suffer in very occasional situations (for example a man using a urinal in an empty public toilet when 5 other men all come in at once and stand either side of him).

In more severe cases, the paruresis sufferer will only be able to urinate at home (for example), and will have to spend a large part of their day (and their life), planning around their paruresis. They may be unable to work because of it, or they may go to a school or workplace that is close enough to home that they can go home to urinate.

Various levels of paruresis can exist anywhere between the two extremes, and can vary from one situation to the next.

Does Paruresis Matter?

Paruresis matters if the person suffering from paruresis feels that it is having a detrimental affect on their lives.

For example, someone may find it difficult to find a school or workplace that is close enough to home (or has private enough toilet facilities for them to be able to ‘go’ there) for them to be able to spend their day there.

As well as the more obvious physical issues surrounding paruresis, the paruresis sufferer can also find that they find it difficult to start relationships with other people, because at some point the other person is ‘bound to find out’ about the paruresis.

What Causes Paruresis?

Paruresis, where it has a psychological component, can be caused by many things, which typically might include:

Fear of being judged (which is also known as social anxiety or social phobia)
Unresolved psychological conflicts
Performance Anxiety - that is to say something like “Will I be able to do it if I go into that toilet?”
Anticipation of Paruresis happening
Underlying anxiety or stress
Worrying about past experiences of paruresis
Having grown up in an environment where toilets and/or urination were seen as ‘dirty’, or where ‘toilet issues’ (or even sexuality) were actively suppressed or used to induce guilt

When Can Paruresis Start?

Paruresis can start at any time of life, and can last for any length of time, with some people having a one-off incident (for example, not being able to produce a urine sample ‘on-demand’ for a doctor), to some others suffering regularly from paruresis for the rest of their lives.

Often, people will find that their paruresis comes and goes throughout their life, depending on the general levels of anxiety or stress in their lives, for example.
For many people who regularly suffer paruresis, the paruresis started in their teenage years.

What Do People with Paruresis Do to Get Around It?

People with paruresis will often have a range of ‘coping mechanisms’ that they can draw upon to avoid the onset of paruresis at any given moment.

These paruresis ‘coping mechanisms’ can include:

Avoiding going to the toilet when they know other people are about to go
Having a ‘favorite’ cubicle
Searching their school or workplace to find the least busy toilets
Drinking less during the day
Urinating while someone is using the hand drier or running a tap (in order to mask the sound)
Flushing the toilet, and quickly urinating while the flush covers the sound
Timing going to the toilet to avoid going at the busiest times
Trying to ‘dissociate’ (for example, closing their eyes and imagining that they are sitting on their ‘safe’ toilet at home)

Can Paruresis be a Symptom of Something Else?

Paruresis is often felt to be a performance anxiety, and is often a symptom of social anxiety (or social phobia). Someone suffering from paruresis will often experience some, or many, of the other symptoms of social phobia (for a list of these other symptoms, see the social phobia page).

(Sometimes, paruresis can be caused by a physical cause, so it’s always an idea to talk to your doctor).

Can Hypnotherapy Help with Paruresis?

While some other possible ways to help with paruresis do exist, from ‘immersion therapy’, ‘cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)’, ‘counselling’, ‘support groups’ and ‘desensitization therapy’, through to completely redesigning public toilets with the paruresis sufferer in mind, it must be borne in mind, that paruresis is quite often a sign of anxiety, stress, or, possibly more commonly, social anxiety.

So, a simple answer to the question “Can Hypnotherapy Help with Paruresis?”, I would say yes, but it has to be the right kind of hypnotherapy.

I say the right kind of hypnotherapy, because something like suggestion therapy, which aims to cause a temporary lessening of symptoms, wouldn’t normally do very much for paruresis in the long term.

Where the paruresis is caused by anxiety, stress, or an unresolved psychological conflict for example, it’s much better to use a far more effective form of hypnotherapy, known as Pure Hypnoanalysis.

Pure Hypnoanalysis can help you to completely resolve these ‘underlying’ issues, so that rather than having a temporary respite from the paruresis, you can resolve the ‘root cause’ of the problem, and resolve the ‘symptom’ (the paruresis) once and for all.

Will I Feel Comfortable Asking for Help with Paruresis?

Please do.

Paruresis, as a symptom of social anxiety / social phobia is something that I help people with all the time.

My initial consultations are always informal and friendly, and you can come along and have a chat about it all... my job is to provide you with a nice, relaxing, friendly, confidential, and non-judgemental place that you can come to for help... so that when you leave, you think to yourself... “phew... that wasn’t so bad after all!”

What to Do Now

Why not come along for an informal chat, and see how we can help you?

Our practices are in Highgate in North London (N6) and Chatteris in North Cambridgeshire.

If you are easily able to get to one of those locations, then the best way to arrange an initial consultation is to just contact us using the form at the bottom of any page, or give us a ring, on 01354 696155.

If you aren’t within easy reach of either of those practices, then you can still use our find-a-therapist service to find a qualified therapist who is trained in Pure Hypnoanalysis.

Get in touch... we’ll do our best to help!

Choosing a Hypnotherapist

2009-01-27T13:46:00.001-08:00

With so many hypnotherapists out there, how do you choose a hypnotherapist who is right for you?

This clear, concise guide to choosing a hypnotherapist may help, because it will tell you about some of the important things to look for when choosing a hypnotherapist.

The Right Kind of Hypnotherapy

Because the word ‘hypnotherapy’ is really an umbrella term that can refer to a wide range of different therapies, how do you know what sort of hypnotherapy is right for you?

Well, essentially, hypnotherapy can be broadly divided into two groups... the types of hypnotherapy that treat the ‘symptom’, and those that treat the ‘cause of the symptom’.

The types of hypnotherapy that treat the symptom (for example ‘suggestion therapy’), are generally thought of as more of a management of the symptom, whereas hypnotherapy that looks to resolve the root cause of a problem (such as Pure Hypnoanalysis for example) can help you to resolve the problem completely.

Testimonials

Testimonials shown on a website can give you a good insight into the quality of work carried out by a hypnotherapist, as they are, effectively, recommendations by previous clients.

However, when you are reading testimonials, you need to satisfy yourself as to their validity. Don’t always accept testimonials at face value... they only mean something if they are the genuine words of a previous client.

For example, all of the testimonials on this website are independently verifiable by the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts (IAPH). We also hold the original documents on file at our Cambridgeshire office.

The testimonials shown on a therapist's website should also respect the client’s confidentiality, and, in our opinion, any testimonials that give a client’s name or specific location for example, should also declare that the client has given permission for this information to be shown.

Therapist Training and Professional Associations

Because (at the time of writing) hypnotherapy is an unregulated form of therapy in the UK, the quality of hypnotherapy training varies widely. So how do you know if a hypnotherapist is properly trained?

One way, is to make sure the therapist is a member of a professional association that requires its members to:

Abide by the code of ethics and / or code of practice of the association
Achieve a specific level of training
Undergo regular hands-on training wherever possible
Commit to, and to maintain, a pre-defined level of ‘Continuing Professional Development’ (to make sure the therapist’s knowledge and skills are as up-to-date as possible)
Hold professional indemnity insurance
Maintain an adequate level of Professional Support as well as Personal Support (often known as ‘supervision’)
Hold a current Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check (For more information on CRB checks, see http://www.crb.gov.uk/)
Maintain the client’s confidentiality at all times
Represent hypnotherapy in an accurate and realistic manner in promotional and advertising materials

Transparency & Clarity

Make sure the therapist (or the therapist’s website) makes everything perfectly clear.

What sort of hypnotherapy do they use?
What training have they had?
Do they offer an initial consultation?
Will it be a course of therapy, or a one off session?
What are their qualifications?
What professional body are they members of?
What are their fees?

Rapport

Hypnotherapy is based on trust, rapport and the ‘good vibe’! - You need to satisfy yourself that you are comfortable with the therapist.

Contact the therapist:

Do they respond quickly?
Do they sound friendly?
Are they informal (or formal) enough for you?
Do they answer your questions?

At the end of the day, you’ll need to feel comfortable with your hypnotherapist, so that you be nice and relaxed during the sessions.

Location

Even if you get on well with the therapist over e-mail or on the phone, there will come a time when you’ll need to travel to meet them, so their location is important.

You also need to be sure that you are close enough to be able to see them fairly easily (especially important if it’s going to be a course of therapy).

If you feel comfortable with a particular therapist when talking to them over the phone or via e-mail, you may even feel it’s worth travelling a little bit further to see them.

What is Suggestion Hypnotherapy?

2009-01-27T13:45:00.003-08:00

Suggestion Hypnotherapy (Also known as suggestion therapy)

This type of hypnotherapy is used to treat those issues that don't really have any deep underlying anxiety causing them.

It's a very relaxing type of therapy, and it can be used to treat things like stopping smoking, nail biting, and where time is short, things like the fear of public speaking or the fear of flying.

Relaxation

Suggestion hypnotherapy uses relaxation as a tool to help you overcome your habit based problem. When your mind is relaxed, it is much more likely to accept the idea of the changes that you want to make in your life.

Modern hypnotherapy is a million miles away from the 'swinging watch' stereotypes of old TV and films... it's a real, psychological tool that works!

An added benefit of suggestion therapy is that you'll learn some very good relaxation techniques that you take away with you and use in every-day life.

An example of suggestion therapy: Stopping Smoking

One of the habits that people most often use hypnotherapy to overcome, is smoking. Hypnotherapy is indeed the most successful aid to stopping smoking that there is.

For most people, smoking is, quite simply, a psychological habit, and suggestion therapy can help the vast majority of these people to stop smoking. (For some, their smoking is a symptom of an underlying anxiety, in which case they can still be helped, but analytical hypnotherapy might be a better option.)

Which type of hypnotherapy is best for you?

Suggestion therapy can be a single session, can be very relaxing, and can help to manage some problems very successfully.

Pure Hypnoanalysis has helped countless people over the years. The aim of Pure Hypnoanalysis is not to 'control', or 'manage' the problem, the aim is to resolve it completely.

Why not come along for a no-obligation initial consultation, so that we can see if suggestion hypnotherapy is for you, and, of course, answer all of your questions!

Come Along For a Chat

It's free of charge and very informal!

The Types of Hypnotherapy

2009-01-27T13:45:00.001-08:00

Because 'hypnotherapy' is term that can refer to different types of therapy, how do you know which type of hypnotherapy might be right for you?

The form of hypnotherapy that might be best for you, depends on the 'symptom' or 'problem' that you are looking for help with, as well as whether or not there is an underlying anxiety that could be causing the problem.

Suggestion Therapy

Suggestion hypnotherapy is a relaxing and gentle approach to hypnotherapy, where the client is helped to feel calm and relaxed during the hypnotherapy session, and where the therapist can use carefully worded 'suggestions', to help the person bring about a positive change. It's often used for treating habits, such as nail biting for example.

Suggestion therapy is best suited for when help is needed to make changes to the person's life, and where there isn't really any underlying stress or anxiety causing the symptom.

Pure Hypnoanalysis

Pure Hypnoanalysis (analytical hypnotherapy or Hypno-analysis) is a form of hypnotherapy used to treat the cause of a problem

Pure Hypnoanalysis, is an extrememly effective and powerful form of analytical hypnotherapy that is used to treat the longer term problems such as social phobia, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and many other phobias and symptoms.

This form of therapy can completely resolve the underlying cause of a problem, leaving the person free from their symptoms.
