The Resilience EffectHow mindfulness based interventions, focussed on stress reduction,can open the door to lucrative work opportunities withinorganisations.

By Nick Cooke

Until a few years ago, Stress Management was a major buzz word (or two!) within organisations. Now the trend is towardsmindfulness based programmes and emotional intelligence (EI) work to help employees develop a greater level ofemotional resilience and make them less prone to stress.

Why should employer is be bothered?

Employers face potential litigation from employees if it can be proven that they didn’t take reasonable care to protectthose employees from the effects of stress. Over the years hundreds of employers, large and small have fallen foul ofemployment law and been forced to make very large payouts.

What does the law say?

Health and Safety law dictates that employers have a duty of care to take all ‘reasonable’ steps to manage the workingenvironment to help employees to control / manage stress. This law has teeth and many employers have taken theirlawyer’s advice to put measures in place to actively manage stress. Indeed, according to the UK Government’s Healthand Safety Executive, employers who can demonstrate that they have a stress-management scheme in place are far lesslikely to be successfully sued.

How do effective resilience building programmes work?

Resilience building programmes work by engaging the participants in a presentation and discussion about stress, howit occurs and how mindfulness and resilience building can work. We can’t eliminate stress, it is part of life, but we canlearn awareness of it in ourselves and others and find ways of dealing with it, ideally in a preventative way before it getsa grip of us.

In a corporate setting employees learn that by honing their ability to relax they can work with greater energy andeffectiveness. As hypnotherapists and mindfulness practitioners we can help groups or individuals to combine theseapproaches with EI, solution focussed and cognitive behavioural techniques. Our clients will learn how to increase theirability to cope in challenging situations and to switch off and relax.

These programmes are likely to include:

● Stress awareness● Identification of stressors● Understanding of how stress occurs● Identification of types of stress (active and passive), the risks of each and how they affect our personalities● Examination of stress coping mechanisms (good and bad)● Coaching in Mindfulness / EI based approaches and Resilience building strategies

What opportunities exist for therapists, mindfulness teachers, coaches and NLP Practitioners?

Stress is an area that clients are likely to seek our help with, so learning as much as we can about the subject and becomingproficient in providing solutions makes good sense. When clients consult us with stress-related issues there are frequentlydeeper issues bubbling / festering away so we must be watchful and at times a little challenging to help the client to‘discover’ those issues and then provide a therapeutic climate to facilitate positive change.

An interesting possibility exists for practitioners to work withincorporations to provide this valuable service. For thereasons outlined previously, employers are keen to managestress in the workplace.

There is no point in targeting large ‘Blue Chip’ organisationsas they will already have schemes in place. However withinsmall to medium size enterprises (SMEs) of between 100and 300 employees, there are plenty of opportunities forpractitioners to offer programmes. These will help employersto meet their legal obligations and assist them in reducingstress-related absenteeism. They are also likely to retainvalued employees and optimise productivity as employeeswill feel cared for.

Practitioners wishing to enter the corporate world may feelthat they are lacking in expertise and resources to help themto ‘break into’ the field and then to provide expert servicesonce they are there.

Therapy'sCreativeBridgeBy Mark Price

As therapists, helping our clients open up their creativeminds is a major part of what we do. In a creative state ofmind we can help clients break away from patterns and findnew directions, explore and change emotions, discover newperspectives on their thoughts, beliefs and goals. It is alsocommon place for therapists to find themselves exploringtheir own creativity when faced with challenging clients ortricky issues, having to think outside the box when standardtechniques and practices don’t seem to be working. Andlet’s be honest, this is not always easy to do. But it is in ourclients’ best interest, if we do have the ability to be flexible,adaptable and have the confidence to employ a bit ofcreative thinking when necessary. So it is safe to say, thatalongside our arsenal of different therapeutic modalities,creativity is a fundamental tool in a therapists’ toolbox.

Our role as therapists is to help people have a ‘change ofmind’. This can only happen when there are options toconsider. Therapy is a process of helping uncoveralternatives, making connections and building bridges withthe purpose of creating a change in perception and belief.Sometimes, in order to build a bridge certain tools arerequired. It is the skill of the therapist to identify and providethese tools so clients can build their bridge and moveforward. To supply these tools we sometimes need to thinkcreatively. What then is “creativity” and how do we apply itin therapy?

When we think about being creative we might naturallyconjure up images of great works of art, a wonderful pieceof literature or a moving musical score. By definition,creativity is a process involving the use of the imaginationor original ideas to bring to existence something fresh andnew. And as therapists, dealing with unique individuals andcomplex issues, what we are truly looking for whenchallenged is a fresh approach or a new direction. It doesn'thave to be big and bold, it can be something extremelysimple. One small thing is sometimes all it takes to helpmake that important connection, that ‘penny drop’ moment.

So where do we look for our creative inspiration? A goodplace to start is reassessing what is at hand, sometimes theanswer is hidden in the details. Reconsider how you arecreatively piecing the elements together. ‘Elements’ being

the toolbox of techniques you have acquired through studyand practise, combined with what the client brings to thetable, their list of emotions, thoughts, beliefs and their ownunique personality. We should ask ourselves, have we usedthe right elements to paint the right picture for our client toconnect to? Are we dismissing a technique when it isseemingly not working when all we really need to do is helpthe client connect with it better using different creativeassociations? The phrase that springs to mind, soinsightfully said by Alfred Korzybski, is, “The map is not theterritory”. You know where you are and you know where youwant to get to, but the way there has multiple routes. Atherapeutic technique is a map, the territory is the mind ofthe client.

Often the best path for a client is the one filled with the mostfamiliarity and not just the most relevant to the subjectmatter. If clients struggle to make headway, try changingthe view to something more familiar and appealing.Metaphors can be missed if the mind is looking the wrongway. It is okay to backtrack from time to time and createanother path! Another important question is, are wepreparing our clients well enough before we even start thejourney? We all have our own way of explaining what toexpect but what about educating and empowering clientswith some creative tools aimed to bridge potential voidswhere resistance or conflict might normally surface duringa session? A little insight can stimulate better focus. Forexample, books have a synopsis, movies have trailers, botha glimpse of what is to come without giving away too much;the purpose of these ‘sneak peaks’ are to create intrigueand awareness and gives readers or viewers focus. Theircreative minds naturally open up earlier, finding associationsand comparisons, thus stimulating the imagination. In mostcases it takes longer to get interested and invested in a bookor a movie without any prior insight.

When a client struggles to hold focus they can drift off topicor into unnecessary internal questioning and even criticalanalysis of the therapy itself. They stray from the path.Therefore, it isn't necessarily the technique that fails but theclients’ connection to it! I believe creativity in therapy isessential. And like the diversity of our clients, therapists areunique too, which I think is brilliant. We all have our ownstyle, our own approach, our own way of building rapport.And that all comes from our own creativity. So, I encourageyou to explore and embrace your own creativity even more.

Panic at34,000ft!by Shirley Rowlands

I think it’s true to say you just never know when yourhypnotherapy skills might come in handy! As I discoveredon Saturday 2nd September 2017 when I boardedMonarch flight ZB5480 from Birmingham to Venicetogether with my partner, brother and sister in law. Mybrother and his wife were seated on the first row by theaircraft door and we were on the opposite side a few rowsback.

Unfortunately, the flight was delayed on the tarmac forabout 25 minutes. During this time I noticed a man in hismid thirties, hovering by the open door as he talked tothe cabin crew, which made me think he might have beena nervous flyer. Eventually, the door was closed and thepassenger dispatched to his seat. As soon as we wereairborne, and the seat belt sign was switched off, hereturned to the front of the plane to talk to the cabin crewand use the toilet. Meanwhile I chatted to my partner anddidn’t pay him any further attention until about 45 minuteslater when suddenly my sister-in-law gestured for me togo over to help as she was alarmed by his agitated state.

A minute later I went up to find the man gripped with fear,squatting in the small space next to the door with his headin his hands having a panic attack! I could see he wasshallow breathing, shaking, sweating and I could smell adistinct aroma of vomit! Clearly there was no time forniceties: I knew I needed to draw on all my experienceand quickly gain his trust so I knelt down in the smallspace besides him and quietly asked if he’d like me totry and help. It was an instant ‘yes’, so I calmly reassuredhim everything would be fine and I could help him to copewith the emotions that had overwhelmed him and reducesome of his symptoms. Then I asked him to listen carefullyto what I was saying and told him I was going to teachhim how to breathe in a more effective manner. I glancedup at the air hostess who looked relieved I’d intervenedas she silently mouthed the words, “Thank you!”

To begin with I spoke with a soft soothing hypnotic voiceas I taught my fellow passenger, (whose name I never

knew) how to focus on his breathing, to inhale deeply tothe count of 3 and to exhale slowly to the count of 6. Ashe was desperate to cope he grabbed onto this techniquevery quickly. Next, I asked him to try to stop payingattention to his thoughts and instead try and visualise asafe place, such as, his bedroom and to imagine takinghimself there to feel more relaxed. Not surprisingly hispower of imagination was vivid so he was able to do thisquickly which meant he began to feel calmer and regainsome sense of control.

After a short time he explained he was not afraid of flyingbut feared he was seriously ill, even though his doctorshad assured him he was not. Once again I reassured himall would be well and suggested he would be able to copewith the rest of the flight if he continued to focus on hisbreath and visualising being in his safe place. Whilst hesipped some water I asked what he’d been thinking aboutprior to his panic attack: he told me he was so worriedhe’d convinced himself he was going to die. To help himunderstand I explained he’d scared himself by focusingon negative thoughts and creating scary images in hishead but emphasised that these were faulty thoughts andnot necessarily true. Also I suggested he could addresshis fears effectively through a course of hypnotherapy andcognitive behavioural hypnotherapy, then went back tomy seat. For the remainder of the flight he stayed seatedat the front of the plane with his eyes closed breathingslowly and visualising. After disembarking he came to findme to thank me for the help I had given him, then happilywent off on his holiday.

A few days later on my return flight from Venice the airhostess recognised me and thanked me again for mygood deed. She mentioned this passenger had requestedmedical assistance which meant the two cabin crewwould’ve had to have administered oxygen and stayedwith him for the remainder of the flight until he was metby an ambulance. Apparently if I hadn't intervened whenI did, the other passengers wouldn’t have been able tohave any food or drink for the remainder of the flight.Naturally I felt pleased to have risen to the challenge andsuccessfully helped. So you see, even when you aren’tworking you just really never know when some of yourbasic hypnotherapy skills might come in handy!

Chronic PainandDepressionby Dr Nick Wright

Chronic pain is a term used to describe pain that lastsbeyond the typical time it takes for an illness or injury toheal. Sometimes chronic pain is also described as painthat lasts longer than three months. Research suggeststhat anywhere from 30 to 50% of people with chronic painalso struggle with depression or anxiety.

Chronic pain isn’t just a physical condition, it’s also anemotional one that has tremendous influence over aperson’s thoughts and moods. People with chronic painmay isolate themselves from others or be unable toachieve the mobility they once had. Chronic pain isn’t justassociated with physical injuries either as it can stem fromconditions like heart disease, arthritis, migraines ordiabetes. For example, we know that simply having a badheadache or back pain for a day can affect our mood.Imagine having that pain every day for six months. It’sactually quite reasonable to expect anxiety anddepression with chronic pain.

Sometimes it can be difficult to assess whether chronicpain has led to depression, or vice versa. It’s like asking,“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Pain cancause depression and anxiety. Depression and anxietycan cause pain. This can create a cycle where onecondition continually worsens the other, for example,someone in pain from an injury may cut back on theiractivity because they’re afraid of being reinjured. If lackof activity keeps them from improving their physicalcondition, they may actually become de-conditioned, andthus susceptible to injury. In another scenario, chronicpain may  cause sleep problems, or feelings ofhelplessness and worthlessness related to missed workor financial woes. These can all lead to depression.

People with chronic pain are three times more likely todevelop symptoms of depression or anxiety, and peoplewith depression are three times as likely to developchronic pain.  Depression frequently can causeunexplained pain, such as headaches or back pain, andpeople who are depressed might struggle to improve ormaintain physical health. In turn, chronic pain can lead to

trouble sleeping, increased stress, or feelings of guilt orworthlessness associated with depression. Theseinfluences can create a cycle that is hard to break.Although depression can further debilitate people withchronic pain, these people may be less likely to recogniseand talk about symptoms of depression with their doctor.In fact, half of all depressed persons who visit the doctoronly complain about physical symptoms. Because bothpain and depression make each other difficult to treat, it’simportant to address both when evaluating treatmentoptions.

An individual might be suffering from depression inaddition to chronic pain if they have some of the followingsymptoms:

● lack of energy or interest in activities● depressed mood, irritability, poor concentration● changes in appetite & sleep patterns● feelings of guilt or despair or suicidal thoughts

Clients benefit the most when chronic pain anddepression are treated together and by a team of people.This team of experts may include:

● A Physician can provide a thorough examination andevaluation, give a diagnosis, and, if necessary,prescribe both pain and psychiatric medications.

● A Hypnotherapist/Psychosensory therapist can helppatients reach a relaxed state that may allow forpositive suggestion and help them release emotionalissues. Hypnotherapy and psychosensory therapycan also help people address anxious or negativethought patterns and teach coping skills that reducesymptoms of both pain and depression.

● Physical Therapy and exercise can improve mobility,reduce pain and improve low mood.

● Self-help groups to provide psychological support.● Education for both the patient and family.

Book ReviewHypnosis for SmokingCessationAn NLP andHypnotherapyPractitioner's ManualBy David Botsford (Crown HousePublishing)

David Botsford trained as a hypnotherapist in 1993 andspecialised in working with clients wanting to stop smokingas well as training fellow hypnotherapists in smokingcessation techniques. With this book he created a manualfor hypnotherapists covering all aspects of smokingcessation in a very easy to read style. The advice given inthis book has broad application and the scripts could easilybe adapted to suit other conditions. Botsford draws on awide variety of therapeutic approaches, i.e. EricksonianHypnotherapy, NLP, CBT and Stress Management in this'tool kit for hypnotherapists' which should appeal to studentsand practitioners from all backgrounds. In his introduction Botsford extensively refers to Alan Carrand Milton H. Erickson to make the point that just getting aclient into trance and providing suggestions about notsmoking is rarely enough to achieve a lasting change inbehaviour. Instead he favours a holistic approach, enablingthe client to effectively deal with any situation they may facein life that would otherwise trigger a return to the smokinghabit. He purports three keys to success in smokingcessation through hypnotherapy:1.  You must communicate powerfully with the particular

client in front of you and tailor the session to their uniquemodel of the world.

2. You must maintain a continuous connection with theclient's moment-to-moment experience.

3. You must effectively educate your client both to stopsmoking and to remain a non-smoker for life." (p.11)

To achieve success, he stresses the need for clear intentand a focus on the positive, resulting in the clientfundamentally changing the way they understand who theyare and adopting the new reality of "being a non-smoker".Throughout the book Botsford strikes the tone of a friendlyadvisor to the reader, imparting his knowledge and offeringsupporting suggestions, i.e. how to use self-hypnosis toprepare for a session and how to positively welcome difficultclients as an opportunity for development.

The second part of the book is laid out as a step-by-steptool kit, starting with guidance on how to prepare for thesession and how to get the most out of the first contact withthe client, followed by a selection of scripts, often metaphorbased, for every eventuality. Whether the client comes toseek support with their first attempt to stop smoking or hashad several unsuccessful attempts already, there will be a

suitable script in this book. Useful pre-session checklists anda variety of client information materials are also included.

I personally found the chapters referring to behaviours oftenlinked to smoking i.e. weight issues, drinking and smokingother substances particularly useful. The strength of this bookis its focus on the client’s real-life situation and the advice tothe hypnotherapist regarding how to help the client tackletheir individual circumstances.

The third section of the book is dedicated to the commercialaspects of offering hypnosis for smoking cessation. Itcontains guidance on setting up and marketing, touching onhow to project the right image and how to ascertain the rightfee. There is also detailed information about marketing tocorporate clients and the set up and running of groupsessions.

Finally, the book is accompanied by a CD containing alltranscripts, checklists and client handouts etc for easyprinting.

This book offers an easy to use and complete end-to-endreference guide on the subject of smoking cessation and assuch will be a useful addition to the bookshelf for anyhypnotherapist. It is user friendly enough for those dealingwith the odd stop-smoking client and needing a reminderand some inspiration for scripts as well as being detailedenough to be of value for those wanting to specialise in thesubject.

Does being self-employedmean working 24 x 7?Did you think when you set up on your own as a therapist orcoach that you would have more time for you and your family,only to find the reality very different?

Does a shortage of clients mean that you never say ‘no’ toany appointment no matter what time or day they request ofif it’s inconvenient?

Do you find that you spend most of your ‘spare’ time gluedto your laptop or tablet researching a client’s medicalcondition or presenting issues or spend hours writing ‘theperfect script’?

Are you are always busy rushing around doing ten differentthings at once and constantly racing against the clock?

Getting the balance rightAs any of my students will attest, I’m someone who believes

that you need to work hard (harder perhaps than you mighthave worked for someone else) to make a therapy practicesuccessful. In the early days (if your responsibilities allow) I’dsuggest that you are reasonably flexible about when you seea client. You will still need to have boundaries though, so thatyou neither give the message that you are desperate, northat you are ‘on call’.

As for the research and script-writing, give yourself a timelimit. You can’t (and won’t) be expected to be an expert oneverything; ask your client questions to find out what youneed to know. Write a script by all means, but have othersto hand in case it becomes clear in the consultation that ‘theissue is not the issue’. Or trust yourself to ad-lib; you willprobably be better than you think and it could be aconfidence-booster too.

If you are working in or on your business 24 x 7 you run therisk of getting super stressed or worse, seriously sick. Settingsome parameters early on in your business will help you toavoid a sense of overwhelm or being taken advantage of byclients who make ‘unreasonable’ requests. Remember asthe therapist, you need to be in control of your diary, yourtask list and your business.

Work smarterBy developing strategies that will help you to work smarterrather than longer, you will probably find that you are moreeffective in all areas of your work and life; in control ratherthan a stressed-out wreck! You could put particular types oftasks in groups or blocks, and allocate set times when youare going to do them. You might choose for instance, to havea ‘marketing morning’ or a ‘research afternoon’. By doingthis you can save time and be more productive. Almostcertainly you will achieve more than when you multi-task andwill feel more satisfied at the end of this period.

Why not give this approach a try? Create a schedule andallocate tasks to certain calendar slots. Make these times forfocusing on the particular task and turn off any devices whichwill be distracting. It’s important to remember that you don’tneed to respond to every email the moment it pings into yourinbox nor hit reply as soon as you get a text. What messageare you sending to clients if you are always able to answeran email or text moments after it was sent!

Being focused on specific tasks for a whole or half a daymeans these things will get your full attention and are morelikely to get done rather than started, then left to becompleted another time. You can then be in control of yourown schedule and can pace yourself accordingly. Clientsand business contacts probably won’t even notice thatyou’ve set ground rules for controlling your own time, butthey’ll get a sense of you being well organised andprofessional and you’ll reap the benefits of being more calmand composed. Happy planning!
