Hypnotherapy solutions to help those affected by economic climate

Confidence and Self Esteem

The start of a New Year. For most 2012 will be a testing time.

Newspapers and news reports are full of doom and gloom, austerity measures taking effect, reducing spending power of families,  jobless numbers rising and the outlook bleak.

The current economic climate for most of the population is going to be problematic, and it’s fair to say the challenges placed on individuals, families and society in general will become greater.

Anxiety Audio Program 120, structured self help audio program

All these challenges will increase anxiety, impacting the general wellbeing of many of the population. Anxiety is rising and the drugs prescribed for the anxiety condition are rising too.

IBS Audio Program 100 for Adults. Trusted IBS Help since 1998

People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS will be affected as stress; demands and anxiety take their daily toll. The digestive system is a delicate system and responds quickly to stress and anxiety, mostly in a negative painful way.

Those who have lost their job through involuntary redundancy face many challenges as the private sector fails to increase job vacancies to mop up the redundancies in the public sector, though if there were less red tape and interference in SME’s the story could quickly change, as SME are vital to the country getting out of this current economic mess.

And yet, all is far from lost. Each and every person has the ability to do something about their situation. Success rarely if ever comes knocking on your door, you have to go and find it. We have to change the rules of engagement. If we don’t have the confidence or self-esteem to make things change then do something to find it and develop it.

I started my internet business by re-mortgaging my family home, because I believed in what I was doing and that was researching and developing the IBS Audio Program 100, my first self-help audio program for adults, which is now a leader in its field.

It was rejected out of hand by a leading London PR company as being unmarketable; it now goes to 45 countries!  Time after time it was rejected and yet I persevered, and eventually the program took off and is trusted widely. A major NHS referral hospital uses it, and self-help groups promote it.

I refused to accept the word no!  I didn’t have the skills I needed so I learned them; I saw a problem and decided I could do better than what was available. I learned from people, I questioned things, and yet these are not things only the few can do, each and every person reading this can make a difference for themselves and their families, to their job prospects, if they want to.

For me it wasn’t an option to do nothing, to simply wait for something to come to me. Of course those with IBS or Anxiety, or reduced confidence and self-esteem and those going through difficult times emotionally, need to deal with those issues first, before they can get the emotional balance, and the drive and motivation to make further positive differences.  But once they have worked through those things in a structured way, then they can achieve whatever they want to achieve.

Help your IBS the long, hard expensive and frustration way!

(Or take the short cut and use our way!)

You have been diagnosed with IBS, (you do need a diagnosis of IBS from a medical professional, since some of its symptoms can mimic more sinister conditions).

Your diagnosis is out of the way, You dutifully follow the advice and guidance, and medications given by your medical professional.

Then perhaps for the first few weeks / months you have hope,

but it fades as the medications, the repeat prescriptions and doctor appointments deliver very little benefit.

A few more weeks / months down the line

you decide to get a second opinion / more tests / try something different. Little helps, and your concern mounts as a nagging feeling develops deep at the back of your mind, that this is not going to go away quickly / it might be with your for ever!

After more time / tests / appointments / expense, you decide to try something else / anything to make a difference!

Hopes rise,

only to be dashed again, as the juices / potions / irrigation / over the counter medicines / are just not hitting the spot!
The nagging that was deep in your mind is now at the forefront of your mind, will this ever get any better? You even consider quick fix promise products / snake-oil products / way out there stuff / obvious funnel sales sites, sucking you in slowly to make a sale, because there has to be something, out there, Doesn't there?

Your mood may be getting lower / relationships more difficult / lost days at work or college increase / you have spent a fortune and no closer to improvement.

The alarm bells are ringing, a reluctant resignation creeps into your life, you worry this is it, for the rest of your days, the pain, the urgency, the rushing, the bloating, constipation, deeper mood swings, tenderness, no light at the end of the tunnel, anxiety, life closing in, relationships strained after so many dashed hopes and so it goes on.

You either give up or keep searching.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, Okay you’ve heard this before, but not from me!

Did you know Hypnotherapy is recognised as a valid treatment option for IBS?
(You might not know how words can help IBS let alone the physical / emotional aspects, but they can, and often do!)

Did you know in the UK Hypnotherapy is one of the recommended talking therapies RECOMMNEDED to DOCTORS to use with patients, by the National Institute of Clinical Health and Excellence (NICE) the body which governs medical treatment in the UK?

But, it suggests only after 12 months of non effective pharmacological treatment. Quite why it is seen as secondry treatment option, when it has so much evidence of being beneficial, and when many GPs and consultants admit they have little to offer in the longer term!

Did you know there is over 25 years proven, medical and scientific studies in the UK / USA and elsewhere showing hypnotherapy is a valid treatment option for IBS?
Okay, but they are all conducted in clinics, selected patients etc. Some might not consider it the real world.

Maybe, but our program has been proven in the real world with real people, many who have tried everything else, some referred, some stumbling upon us, many with multiple and diverse symptoms and backgrounds, but many found our IBS Audio Program helped them)

And did you know the leading IBS Audio Program is ours. The IBS Audio Program 100 which has 14 years proven history of helping many sufferers of IBS.
(Successful, because it was developed over many years, by myself, who took the time to learn about the IBS condition, and after working with many patients successfully.

I worked with IBS patients when all else failed, when no one else would listen or believe / with those who had been  referred to me with intractable IBS by the medical profession who recognised my approach worked for their patients.

I believe I was first to incorporate the importance of the emotional self into my program / Even now the importance of the emotional aspects of IBS are only just being recognised in some research quarters).

A program specifically developed for IBS sufferers.(It was specifically developed for IBS symptoms / of body / mind / emotions.
Now used in over 40 countries, a full home use course, no travelling / no appointments / no repeat costs, enjoyable & structured and cost effective)

And, for the first week in January there is 20% discount on the immediate download, and 10% off the CD sets.

So when you have tried everything else, when you really want to try one more time, then try our IBS Audio Program 100, many users wish they had used it first / but at least now you have found us!

Back to work hypnosis program

My hypnosis program called Laid Off, Move On which is designed to help people back to work after being laid off or made redundant is now 50% discounted for downloads.

Creating the right framework for getting people back to work must be one of the main goals for government to get the economy moving again.  However it is private business not the state which creates wealth, but with red tape and employment taxes this is not easy.

Laid Off Move On audio ProgramTo compound the problem for private businesses they also need to find people for the jobs they create who can get up to speed quickly, interact effectively with new co-workers and understand new policy and procedure’s with confidence.   

Unfortunately many people who have been laid off or made redundant often have emotional baggage caused by the way their redundancy was handled. Confidence and self-esteem can be affected deeply, memory and concentration can also be impacted and many other areas of the individual’s sense of well-being can often be  reduced.

And yet confidence and focus and individual surety are some of the things that are looked for and needed by potential new employers.

My Laid Off, Move On audio program was designed specifically for these individuals, to give the individual an edge over their rivals. To relearn their own self-worth, drive and determination, and to help them to move on.

Having being made redundant in the recession of the 1980’s I understand the emotional impact of being out of work, so the Laid Off, Move On, audio program is based on not only my personal experience, but 25 years’ professional experience as a clinical hypnotherapist, alongside my outplacement experience some years ago.

The program is 50% discounted for immediate downloads. With 2 CDs, 7 tracks and listening schedule, it is an important part of returning to work process.

IBS Hypnotherapist goes to Palace

On Tuesday 12th July 2011,

I attended the Queens Garden party at Buckingham Palace after being nominated for my research and development work and my ‘innovative health solutions programs’ which cover Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in adults, and also in children. Along with my work in emotional recovery after breast cancer, and others.

The Garden Party is a long-established reward to those whose toil for their local communities, or success in their professions, deserves recognition. By coincidence a few days earlier I was celebrating my 25th year in practice.

And yes, for those interested, I did partake the famous cucumber sandwiches on the palace lawns!

The day was very enjoyable, and my guest thought so too, certainly a day to remember.

IBS Awareness Month ~ New IBS Video

Three little letters have such a huge impact on an estimated 20% of the population. IBS are three letters that are commonly heard but less often understood. IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common digestive disorder which negatively affects the lives of millions of people every day. It is a condition that affects people physically and emotionally and there is no medical cure. That being said there is plenty of hope for relief of IBS symptoms both physically and emotionally. The IBS Audio Program 100 for adults has more than 12 years history in helping people in over 40 countries to reduce and manage the symptoms, some people simply ‘walking away from the symptoms’ completely. This IBS home use program uses specific interlinked hypnotherapy processes along with the proven ‘ongoing progressive session induction method’ (OPSIM) to maximise user experience and outcomes. For the younger IBS sufferer the IBS Audio Program 60 for children is available. In the UK hypnotherapy is a suggested treatment option for IBS patients after 12 months of non effective pharmacological treatment. Please take a look at my informational IBS video http://www.healthyaudio.com/

Irritable Bowel Syndrome New Year, New Start?

Much has been written about the New Year and overcoming challenges and looking to new opportunities and change for 2011.

But for many people who suffer with Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS, which affects as many as one in five or 20% of the population, the challenge for overcoming IBS is sadly, ongoing from year to year.

One of the biggest aggravations can be the way IBS is perceived even by the medical community who provides the diagnosis. So many times, the condition is dismissed as “only” IBS. How demeaning this is to the one who suffers with it. I have had one IBS patient tell me that her gastroenterologist could treat the severe pain of his colon cancer patients with better success than he could treat his IBS patients. So how can this condition be defined so dismissively?

Yes, it is true, that a diagnosis of IBS is not a fatal one. And for that, patients are relieved and grateful. But once that reassurance has been comprehended, the new reality of living with a disorder that affects every single aspect of their life can be so daunting, that some IBS patients may entertain some dark thoughts about going on living in constant pain and with debilitating symptoms.

To be told that the diagnosis is “only” IBS by a medical professional simply shows lack of understanding of the impact IBS has on the individual’s life.

I first started working with patients diagnosed with IBS in 1991, so I feel well placed to tell you IBS is serious, it affects the lives of millions of people, it costs industry millions in lost working days and productivity, it is a drain on health service providers, and it impacts family and friends. It is serious because it takes away options of choices made in everyday life, it limits outlook on life and can cause anxiety and in some depression or even some dark thoughts of continuing existence as mentioned.

I developed the IBS Audio Program 100 which has helped thousands of IBS sufferers since its launch in 1998, and it continues to do so to this day, if it is given a chance. The IBS Audio Program 100 is a structured process of interlinked sessions developed specifically for IBS. Of course it is not a cure or panacea, there is no one single treatment option existing which is, but many people have found it to help when other treatment options have failed.

As with any treatment method, the program needs time and effort to be spent on it. It needs to be completed and the listening structure followed as outlined. The IBS Audio Program 100 is developed in such a way that even when it is completed it continues to aid the listener.

Over the years I have spoken to people who said they tried it as a last resort, when nothing else had helped. Their symptoms improved 10 or 20%, but they didn’t feel it was enough of an improvement, so they gave up. Some simply did not want to spend time on themselves. What they fail to understand is a 10 or 20% improvement, when nothing else has helped them in the past is a good improvement! They simply do not see it. Asked if they completed the program the answer is often no, so they sabotaged themselves. And then they think the program failed them, so they move onto the next thing, prepared to fail again.

Even though there is no cure for IBS, there are many people who have used the IBS Audio Program successfully and are now getting on with their lives. And the vast majority of those who have seen success with the program, did not obtain relief from previous treatments. Those who saw success put in the necessary time and effort, they are the ones who decided at some time in their lives that they would meet the challenge, do something different to help themselves and stick with it.

It is for those people that the IBS Audio Program 100 was developed for. Our website, www.healthyaudio.com does not have hard sell approach, we provide information and leave it for the reader to decide whether to buy or not. In fact my staff tell people if they are in any doubt, not to buy any of our programs, it is better to wait until they are sure, when they have tried everything else first, and then when they are ready to work with any of our programs that is the time to buy.

So as we move into 2011, we all would like to be optimistic. Some things we have no control over, but we do have some control over how we can address our health issues, and if you have IBS, you do have an excellent chance to overcome your IBS. All it takes is listening and relaxing for about one-half hour per day, and completing the 100 day listening schedule. If you need help and support along the way, or you feel you aren’t improving as you would like to, that support is available to you. Giving up before looking into all of the options provided by the IBS Audio Program and our staff, is short-changing yourself - diminishing your opportunity for success.

In the UK and perhaps for other countries, it is expected to be a pretty tough year on the economic and social fronts, with rising unemployment, increasing pressures on those in work, pressure on incomes and ultimately family and relationships. For those with IBS, this will only serve to aggravate the condition, increase anxiety, reduce confidence and self-esteem in many individuals.

I sincerely hope that people understand that without the determination to change, and to stick with those choices, things will stay the same, without motivation, situations will remain the same or deteriorate, and that we need to be pro-active when it comes to our health and simply blaming others for our own lack of resolve is a diminishing option of choice.

To those who have read this far, I thank you for your time, and wish you and all those you love a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2011

Loss of Job has psychological implications.

In these times of increasing job losses, more and more women are feeling the impact of redundancy. There was a time when it was by and large men who filled the dole queues, but times have changed.

Women are being hit hard by job losses, because more women work now than used to. Now it is often out of necessity, not just the earning of 'pin money' as it used to be called.

With increased taxes, cost of living soaring, household and utility costs going through the roof it is no longer little luxuries that are earned, it is simply often a matter of survival.

With more women having well paid and senior level positions, the loss of a job can have serious implications to the household budget, mortgage payments etc.

And yet there are serious psychological implications of being made redundant too. It is bad enough if there is an earning partner to fall back on, but for many working woman, there isn't, and if there is the woman may be the higher wage earner.

Shock, panic and a serious shaking of confidence and self esteeem is often felt. So redundancy is more than just about the loss of income, it is also about the emotional impact redundancy has on the individual too.

However it is also a time for re-evaluating career direction too.

It is important that the emotional impact of redundancy or being laid off whatever term is given to it, is dealt with properly, and in a structured way.

There are reports of ten or more people chasing each job vacancy. It is important that you make yourself as marketable as possible. And that includes being positive, flexible in attitude as well as working methods. It means putting the disappointment of redundancy behind you, and to be emotionally well balanced, energetic and keen to learn.

People with IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and anxiety may often experience increased symptoms, compounding the impact of being jobless.

Future employers will be looking for individuals who can fit into the current work model, for those who will not need to much 'hand-holding', someone who will be able to contribute to the new employer quickly. Searching for as job, you will need clear thinking drafting your CV, and in interviews.

An aid to all this, is the self help audio program 'Laid Off, Move On' or LOMO from Healthy Audio Limited, the distributors of the acclaimed IBS Audio Program 100 for adults, and Emotional Recovery after Breast Cancer, and many more.

LOMO, was produced specifically for people who have lost their jobs due to redundancy. It is for men and women who want to put the disappointments behind them, and deal with the loss of job, deal witht the guilt, and lack of confidence and many other emotions losing a job brings.

The program is available on CD set, or on immediate download.
