Nathan Welch replied to Hypno-Jay's discussion 'Working with children'

Hi There are no special hypnosis certs you need by law or regulation but a grounding in working with kids would be a useful thing to do. Apart from the usual insurances and making sure they cover you working with kids you would need an enhanced CRB…

Love this, particularly the idea of what's happening under the surface and how the fish can look different when you pull it up and look directly at it.

Fishing for thoughts!!!!

Fishing for thoughtsThis is a simple and easy technique; I devised which incorporates some ACT principles.This is purposefully designed to be KISS, as when we do it allows us to bend and shape the technique in the moment with the child, in fact it will be, as always you and the child that make the technique! Not the technique itself. So play have fun and build your own fishing magic. The idea is to get them to fish for thoughts or emotions, allowing them to describe and talk about how they…See More

My favourites are listening and observing and then using narrative/story's. I think that most tools overlap and integrate with each other and are often so seemless its hard for us to distinguish what we do use??? Or that may jusr be…

Hypnosis is not everything, ...................but everything may just be hypnosis.

You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing.

Nothing is ever what it seems, but it is always what we make of it.

Hi all I’m conducting some research in to trance states and the critical mind (factor). In order for me to be able to get a fuller and deeper understanding of what people experience in their daily lives that they consider to be trance and what they consider to be conscious awareness, I need some help.

I need people to keep for 1 complete month a trance diary and a conscious awareness diary.

There is not set form per se, just what to know how, what, when,…

Yearly Time Distortion

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 2:26am 6 Comments 0 Favorites

My annual experience of time distortion

Every year at this time, I find myself saying where did the year go!!!!

Well this year is no different, and so I find myself reflecting on the year past, the highs and the slightly less than high’s.

I tend to do some future pacing and pseudo orientation in time, and plan and dream about the year ahead, the adventures to come the surprises and wonder those adventures will bring.

I also think…

I was having a conversation with my daughter (4) yesterday, when completely off topic she looks at me and asks "Dad where does God live"?

Now at first I thought I will give her a smart answer I love to prove how intelligent I'am to 4 year olds (just joking) i decided not to as my rapier like wit would have probably gone to waste.

So I said "God lives up in the sky" and pointed up to the stars, so she looks at me all confused and wrinkles her nose up and starts…

Beyond The Identity of Hypno/Therapist

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 8:58am 1 Comment 0 Favorites

Beyond the Identity of Hypno/therapists

Being a family therapists for me is as much about my own growth as it is about my clients, I personally believe I’m present as an equal although me and my client are different in many ways there exists a sameness about us also.

Unfortunately this sense of equality is not often taught and very rarely comes up in supervision or professionals meetings

Being a therapist or hypnotist can become an…

Barrios, Ph.D. said…: Nathan, I received a very nice and detailed email from your dad but he was not specific about how the hypnosis was used except to imply that it was very effective in helping him through the kidney cancer surgery and to a fast recovery from it. Can you be a bit more specific as to the types of suggestions you gave him. Did you give any suggestions about the immune system helping to speed recovery from the cancer itself? And if you had it to do over, would you now have used the hypnosis prior to the surgery to see if you could have cleared the cancer by reviving the immune system as per the approach I recommend?
