Another 5* google review from a happy client :-)

'A great experience. I visited Philip to get help with my bruxism at the suggestion of my dentist and also to receive some support with more general anxiety (very helpful at the moment!). I found the whole experience very positive, supportive and helpful. I'm happy to recommend his service to others'

One of the most overlooked addictions!

Regular ingestion of the drug alters your brain’s chemical makeup, leading to fatigue, headaches and nausea if you try to quit.

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone's managing in these difficult times.

I've made a self-hypnosis recording as a resource to provide some respite people struggling in the lockdown to relax and absorb some positive suggestions. It's very enjoyable and easy to use - just find a quiet place to sit and follow the instructions on the recording.

It can be accessed through the YouTube link below:

Keep well, everyone!

Fascinating workshop today learning the Rewind technique for treating PTSD with Dr David Muss. It seems to have astonishing results, including and 85% success rate with Rwandan genocide survivors - looking forward to putting it into practice.

'I visited Philip for help with my generalised anxiety disorder. I had been through traditional counseling routes and while they were helpful, the anxiety was still there. I found the sessions amazingly helpful. Philip has great insight and really helped me to articulate my thoughts, which meant we could focus on the things that would be most helpful. After four sessions I felt so much better. The change was remarkable. I also had a session to help me stop smoking and I haven't had a cigarette since. Five weeks and counting! Thoroughly recommend'

Another 5* Google Review. :-)

Another 5* review on Google :-) :

'Philip is a very personable and effective hypnotherapist. With Philip’s help I quit smoking ci******es after 27 years in just 2 hours! I can’t imagine ever smoking again. I would highly recommend Palace Hypnotherapy.'

Fun afternoon running a hypnosis workshop for the students at the School of the Science of Acting, helping them prepare for staging 'Anatol', by Joseph Schnitzler, a play which features hypnosis in the first act.

A lovely new 5* Google review - don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

"I highly recommend Palace Hypnotherapy - Philip has a warm and calming manner and uses evidence-based techniques which get to the root of the problem. In just a few sessions, my chronic insomnia was dramatically reduced and a few months on I no longer experience it which has been a huge relief!"

More excellent evidence for hypnosis as a treatment for anxiety. A meta-analysis of multiple studies showing that hypnosis shows that 84% of those who received hypnosis as a treatment improved more than the control group. Crucially, it also shows that hypnosis is most effective when used alongside other psychological treatments, which is why cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy is such a potent healing modality.

Lovely new 5* review on Google:

'Philip is a great therapist and a very friendly and helpful person. His practical approach helped me to rationalise the issues that I was experiencing. His attentive nature meant that he made sure he understood my individual situation and offered tailored solutions that took into consideration my history, the solutions I had previously tried and the ongoing feedback that I presented during our sessions. I definitely recommend trying Philip if you are experiencing any life difficulties and are finding it difficult to overcome these by yourself.'

Very informative article on why using alcohol to manage anxiety is a devil's bargain!

A few drinks can relax you – but, says scientist David Nutt, that morning-after feeling is the booze playing tricks with your brain

'Creativity moves seamlessly from the “ha-ha” of the pun to the “aha!” of scientific discovery to the “ah…” of aesthetic insight. So the next time you’re tempted to groan at a dad joke, remember that awful pun is a profound though pedestrian example of creative wit at work.'

As the holidays approach, families are bracing for the inevitable onslaught of dad jokes. (“What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.”) But this year, as you roll your eyes upon hearing for the u…
