1. Help with exam stress and anxiety

   Posted on 11:54am Wednesday 3rd Apr 2013

   Where can I get some practical tips for helping with exam success ?

   As the exam season looms on the horizon many parents are faced with children who are worrying about what they can do in order to get through this very trying and difficult time. As a clinical hypnotherapist I am already seeing quite a few clients who are looking for help with dealing with this problem. When I work with anyone under the age of 18 I always need to have a parent or guardian in the room with them and in fact the older person often finds that they are learning techniques that they themself can use for their own worries. As a parent it is easy to get caught up in the worry and end up not knowing how to help your child.

    

   I am even working with a number of school to help teach both students and teachers and tutors techniques that can help.
   

   So, what do I do with clients when they come to see me saying "what can I do about this stress and anxiety?"
   

   I like to use the expression that "We get more of what we think about".

   I say this to most of my clients fairly soon into any session and then we go on to explore it in more detail.

   Put simply if you imagine something will happen then it is quite likely that you are right.

   If you decide that you will be nervous in an exam and that you will fumble your papers and struggle to get through it then walk out half way through...then you have started to mentally rehearse this scenario and the chances are that it will happen!

   This is why I work with my clients to teach them that they can visualise a calm and tranquil surrounding, and think about walking into that exam room full of confidence knowing that they will do the best that they can.

   Taking a deep breath seems simple and obvious, but people still don't always do this. It is always a good thing to do. We may breathe all on our own for all of our lives but that extra breath will really help to calm you down.

   Taking time out for yourself and thinking that you will be calm is a really positive start, and of course there are many other things that you can do, but always remember to picture in your mind success and you will find that it is much more likely to happen.

2. Adele sees hypnotherapist to help quit smoking after her singing skyfall at the Oscars.

   Posted on 12:21pm Saturday 2nd Feb 2013

   Adele Uses Hypnotherapy To Cure Stage Fright ahead of her Performance of Skyfall at the Oscars.

   Updated below with information about Adele using hypnosis to Quit Smoking !

   So Adele is getting ready for her big comeback performance at this year's Oscars, but despite selling millions of records across the globe, the singer is said to be so terrified about the prospect of singing live in front of the Oscars audience that she's been to visit a hypnotherapist ahead of her big day.

   Adele has been having hypnotherapy in Los Angeles in a bid to conquer her nervousness and anxiety ahead of the 'Skyfall' performance on February 24th.

   And friends of the star also say the fact that Adele's idol Barbara Streisand will also be singing at the awards ceremony has made things even more nerve wracking for her..

   One of her friends has been quoted as saying “She has been rehearsing for the show with an orchestra, but all the preparation in the world isn’t enough to keep her calm."

   “She was so nervous before last year’s Grammys that she was sick before going on stage. She doesn’t want a repeat of that.”

    

    

   Adele recently attended the Golden Globe awards, where her speech raised a few eyebrows. Following that she returned home to her new baby rather than party the night away

   With all the pressure of a new baby to contend with it's perhaps not surprising that Adele is seeking some help with her performance.

   Hypnosis and hypnotherapy is wonderful for helping with any type of nerves, whether they appear in your personal or work life.

   I have worked with singers before who, like Adele, are able to sing really well but find that the prospect of appearing on a stage in front of an audience can really cause them to become worried and stressed. Of course the thought of the worry and stress is bad enough, but if you let it consume you then you will end up with a poor performance.

    

   Fortunately, fears like this are actually quite easy to address with hypnosis and won't require that many sessions before people really can see and feel a massive difference in their outlook.

   Good luck to Adele in her hypnotherapy and I hope she really enjoys singing at the Oscars. I know that having got help, she will love it and won't regret the steps she took to make it even better than before.

    

   UPDATE : Adele is now using hypnotherapy to quit smoking after being told it will affect her singing career if she doesn't deal with the problem.

    

   Knowing how well hypnotherapy worked for Adele in helping her nerves she has now turned to hypnosis to stop smoking after a health warning. Back in 2011 she had to cancel some of her shows whilst on tour and was told that because of problems with her throat if she didn't quit smoking for good then she would be putting her career at risk. Friends say that this has been part of the reason that she has not appeared live because she needed to deal with the issue. The good news is the hypnotherapy to quit smoking like Adele has experienced takes place in just one session and is statistcally the most succesful way to quit smoking for good.
