   Can I use hypnotherapy on Skype to help with worries about Coronavirus?

   With the rise in the number of cases of coronavirus around the world more and more people are suffering from stress and anxiety about what could happen to them or their family if they caught the coronavirus.

   As a therapist who sees people both in person and online via Skype I have already seen an increase in people looking for some help in dealing  with the stress and also those who cannot visit, because they are either too far away from me or are self isolating because they know someone or have even contracted coronavirus themselves.

   I first started using skype to help people suffering from Stress and Anxiety as well as Phobias and Insomnia. It quickly became clear that I was able to work with people who I would otherwise not be able to help. I started working with clients who were abroad using the Skype technology, and Hypnosis, EMDR, EFT and other techniques helping them to Quit Smoking and Lose Weight without diets. From sweeden Italy, Ireland and Germany, to the USA Spain and Hungary and it grew from there.

    

    

   Now I am also able to work with so many more people around the world who are many miles away from my location. Would you like some help in the comfort of your own home? Now you don't even need to leave your house to make the changes that you really want and let go of the past.

   Where you are really doesn't matter any more ! 
   Skype Hypnotherapy and all of the ways that it can help come to you in the comfort of your own home.

   You can watch my SKYPE Therapy FAQ Video below to find out more about how a session of Hypnotherapy on Skype can help you: it should answer any questions that you have about how things work...

    

   How does Skype Hypnosis work?

   As long as you have an internet connection and a computer with a webcam and microphone then we can work together. In fact often clients work with me using iPads and other tablets and phones to make it even easier. As I have been working online with Skype hypnosis sessions for a long time at first most people used their PC or Laptop, but now people can use their phone and even listen to recordings that I make them on their phones as an extra benfit as well.

   Hypnosis via Skype is really easy for you to experience. You don't need to travel to me. So it saves you the stress of that journey, no need to worry about traffic jams, or being late for your hypnotherapy appointment. I use many different techniques which mean that we can help you get exactly what you want and I even make you personalised Hypnosis MP3s that you can listen to at home whenever you want to.

   You may even find that being in your own home environment really helps to make you feel even more safe and secure.

   We can talk and even do our full sessions via your webcam or we can chat and then I can make you a custom MP3 and send it to you so that you can listen in your own time. This technology really brings your chance to have therapy so much closer. To find out more you can either drop me an email by clicking on Email Mark Powlett

   Can Smoking lead to Coronavirus?

   Smoking itself is of course never good for us, but news coming out now shows that in cases of coronavirus smokers seem to have been affected more than non smokers. Of course it doesn’t follow that smoking in itself is the problem. The biggest problem is that smoking weakens your immune system.

   Public health officials now recommend several ways for people to improve their immune system and protect themselves against the virus.

   Coming up very highly in the list of things that could help you is to quit smoking.

   

   If the idea of being a non smoker has been on your mind for a while then perhaps now is the time to make it actually happen.

   A recent study of more than 44,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in China showed that men (2.8 per cent) are more likely than women (1.7 per cent) to die of the virus. Men represented 51 per cent of confirmed cases. Some researchers believe smoking could be the reason for the disparity.

   Chinese men smoke more than Chinese women — In China men smoker more than women and it has been shown that cigarette smoke weakens the defensive function of the immune system.

   Even social or occasional smoking can cause damage to a your lungs and body, leading to problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and hypertension.

   It may even be possible that smoking makes a person more susceptible to catching viruses like COVID-19. There is “conclusive evidence that smoking is associated with an increased risk of respiratory viral infection,” per the results of a 2014 report.

    

   There’s currently little data to prove that smoking is a risk factor for COVID-19 specifically, but the World Health Organization (WHO) says it’s a possibility.

   “There is a marked difference between males and females in this outbreak in terms of severity, and there’s certainly a marked difference in [smoking] habits in China,” Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, said in a news conference on Feb. 14.

   “It goes without saying that smoking is a risk factor for severity of any lower respiratory tract infection, and we would expect it to.”

   The good news is that quitting smoking can have almost immediate positive effects on a person’s body, generally to do with heart health; our bodies have a great ability to heal themselves and almost as soon as you stop smoking things can start to improve for you.

   What happens when you stop smoking cigarettes?

   Within just 20 minutes, your blood pressure drops to a level similar to what it was before your last cigarette.

   Just eight hours later, the level of toxic carbon monoxide in your blood drops to normal, and within 24 hours, your risk of heart attack begins to drop. After 10 years of not smoking, your chance of dying from lung cancer dramatically decreases.

   Can I use Hypnosis to help me quit smoking and help guard against Coronavirus?

   Quitting smoking with hypnotherapy has been shown in studies to be one of the most effective ways to give up cigarettes. It’s also must better than switching to vaping, you don’t need to inhale anything and you are not still paying out lots of money all the time.
