Autumn at The Observatory Practice

What a gorgeous autumn we’re having so far! Here at The Observatory we have been enjoying settling back in after the summer and looking forward to the last part of the year.

Here are some of our highlights from the last couple of months…

IHT Plymouth

We have had the pleasure of welcoming a new Clinical Hypnotherapy Training cohort to the practice this September for their Module 1. They are a fantastic group who have all engaged with the training materials and skills brilliantly, and very much impressed us with their enthusiasm and depth of thought. We can’t wait to see how they progress with their therapeutic training journeys!

Our weekday training group are approaching Module 7 where they will learn about how we use CBT and cognitive restructuring skills within our client work. We will also look at aspects of NLP inlcuding representational styles.

If you are interested in our Clinical Hypnotherapy Training Programme, you can find more details on this website or at www.inspiraology.co.uk

Our training programme is a gold-standard in Clinical Hypnotherapy, accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the NCFE. Through your 10-month course, you will learn and practice your clinical skills, gaining knowledge, confidence and experience as you go. By the time you graduate, you will be a competent practitioner, with a fledgling business and you may also have paying clients already.

You will also be fully supported after your graduation with regular Clinical Supervision and memberships of hypnotherapy governing bodies, as well as plenty of CPD opportunities.

Identity Healing Training

As an accredited level 3 practitoner and dedicated personal user of EFT (tapping), I am always looking for ways to further my knowledge and skill within this incredibly transformative practice. So with that in mind, I enrolled on Andy Hunt’s ‘Identity Healing’ training course, which I completed this weekend.

The course was very enjoyable, as well as being incredibly insightful and jam-packed with information and skills practice sessions. It was intense to say the least!

Through the course we were all able to be both practitioner and client for each other. Both sides of the coin were immensely gratifying, and I have learned a great deal which I intend to bring into my EFT prcatice as and when appropriate and applicable.

I am a devotee of EFT because I feel it is such a great way of dealing with problems (limiting thoughts, behaviours, past memories/traumas, physical issues, pain) in a relatively short space of time. With EFT, the beauty of the process is that you are able to identify and name the problem, then tap to calm the body’s stress reaction and lower cortisol levels, which allows for a reduction of distress or intensity, as well as new perspectives, clarity, insights, inspiration or ‘cognitive shifts’ to come about. I use EFT on myself virtually daily. That’s how much I love it!

The Identity Healing approach I have recently added to my toolkit also allows for rapid transformation by working with ‘parts’ of yourself to identify and witness them, soothe them, resource them and then re-integrate them into yourself. It is a powerful process that brings huge personal insights, and confers a beautiful sense of wholeness and acceptance.

I am very much looking forward to working with clients with EFT and Identity Healing techniques. If you would like to try a a session of EFT, please get in touch.
