In my opinion, doctors do not necessarily make the best hypnotherapists. Their credentials or reputation as physicians have nothing to do with their rating as hypnotherapists. In my opinion, those who are successful at hypnotherapy, it really has little to do with their position as a doctor.

Like any other profession, as experts, we specialize, and we cultivate and develop our expertise in a given area. The same is true of doctors and other professionals in whatever specialty, be it psychology, family medicine, or any other practice.

There is certainly the potential for crossover, and medical practitioners have traditionally used hypnosis as part of their treatment, but only to varying degrees of success. Typically, as a professional or specialist in any given area, you will achieve more success in your area of specialty.

If I had started out as a medical physician, a PhD, I doubt that I would have the same success at hypnotherapy as I do have, and have had for so many years, as it wouldn’t be my main or primary area of practice. I’ve nurtured and cultivated my talent, and grown as a hypnotherapist, and I’ve learned from doing. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t work. I’ve tried different approaches, I’ve witnessed different results. And I’ve devoted my entire career to it as a specialty. It’s not just something I do in my spare time. It’s part of my life.

Most medical doctors start out with an excellent knowledge of the physical human body. Of this there is no doubt. They also have unlimited knowledge and resources at their disposal. The study is limitless and ongoing. However, much of the methodology is theory based. The real difference is that hypnotherapy is about doing, not theorizing.

I have seen doctors apply hypnotherapy as part of their practice and with great success. Their excellent knowledge of people and their conditions served as an advantage in applying hypnotherapy successfully. Although for most their primary area is not hypnotherapy, even though they venture over from time to time, they won’t really cultivate that skill as a specialty.

I know of some hypnotherapists who have obtained doctorates, and without the years of study which it should take to be able to call yourself a doctor. I don’t know why they feel the need to buy this title. Perhaps it is just an ego thing. Although I’m sure it also helps them get more clients as the general public has a high level of trust for doctors.

Don’t get me wrong. We’d be in a lot of trouble without doctors. They do wonderful work. However in hypnotherapy a PhD is irrelevant. I don’t believe being a doctor would make me a better hypnotherapist. In fact I know it wouldn’t. I’m not putting down the study of modern medicine and the qualifications of medical practitioners; I’m saying that it won’t necessarily make you a successful hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is all about the doing!

Fashion trends have certainly changed in men’s clothing since our fathers’ generation. While the dapper dresser of the past always had his place, and men have always “dressed for success” to one degree or another, there is far a more aware and sophisticated approach to clothing today than ever.

As evidenced by the explosion of fashion magazines and TV programs aimed at the subject of men’s wear and even makeovers, men today are much more aware of how they’re dressed than they were in the past, when fashion wasn’t much more than an afterthought. Many men are paying more attention to their wardrobes than their cars or traditional male hobbies in an attempt to achieve the respect the business world bestows on a well-dressed man. The best way to achieve this look, of course, is with a “killer” new suit.

While style and cut is important, the deeper idea to be aware of is that the proper fabric is the most important component of the perfect suit. To decide which fabric is right for you, you’ll need to know how each will look, feel, and wear. The following descriptions of fabrics commonly used in men’s suits will point you in the right direction.

Non-wools

Linen: Probably not the best choice for a new suit. Linen is lightweight and has a look that will set you apart from everyone else, but it stains and wrinkles easily. It can create a suit with a nice line, but it won’t stay that way all day at the office.

Polyester: The only reason to consider a polyester suit is if it’s blended with wool in order to reduce the cost. Polyester is made from chemicals, not natural fibers, and suits made from it were in style about as long as disco in the 1970s. What you’ll save on a blended suit isn’t worth the look.

Microfiber: Fine for a Halloween costume but not much else. Stay away from any suit made from microfiber.

Teflon: The same comments that apply to microfiber also apply to Teflon. Unless you plan to fry an egg on your sleeve, stay away from it.

Wools

Tweed: Now we’re into the fabric of choice for men’s suits, but don’t get too excited yet – tweed is not the first choice. While it will keep you warm in very cold weather, the fabric is too heavy to flow on your body. You may very well see tweed suits on seniors; it has a very old-fashioned look. But it’s best to avoid tweed altogether, as it will tend to make you look heavier.

Flannel: Suits made from flannel are also pretty heavy, as they are made from corded wool. Although flannel is very durable and available in charcoal gray with pinstripes, it’s better suited for pajamas than suits.

Tropical: Because this wool crepe is very lightweight, it’s extremely difficult to keep from wrinkling. This is not the fabric of choice for your new suit.

Worsted: You probably figured out by now that we saved the best for last. Gabardines and mid-weight corded wools are Worsted fabrics that are durable and can be worn all year long. Make sure your next suit is made from Worsted wool.

As a hypnotherapist, I have always found that one key element in making my free hypnosis induction scripts sound great when they are delivered is the quality of the background music. It can really set the theme of relaxation, and even if after seeing a client, I use a different hypnosis script, the music will still be the same. This reminds the mind of the hypnotic patient of what it is expected to do- that is, it is time to relax.

Our free hypnosis induction scripts have now been recorded and added to our website. There is some wonderful royalty free relaxation music in the background and the voice that you hear on the audio, is Gemma Bailey, qualified Hypnotherapist and NLP trainer.

The audios can be downloaded and saved to your computer. This means that you can use them at any time that suits you, by either listening on your computer or by adding the file to you I-pod or MP3 player. You could even request the file on CD or if it is easier for you to do so, you can burn the audio onto CD yourself.

The quality of the audio’s is quite simply fully professional. You can buy the audio scripts and see what is included in them. And if the audio you require is not listed, simply contact the team and they will put together the hypnosis induction script of your choice.

Obviously when listening to a hypnotic audio it is essential to do so in as peaceful an environment as possible. You should never listen to the hypnotherapy mp3s whilst driving operating machinery as this would be dangerous. However, at peaceful and appropriate times the hypnosis induction audios are perfectly safe to use. It is not known what level of trance you will go into a trance, but you will remain safe and alerted to anything that needs your immediate attention. There is also a message at the end of the audio that ensures you will be fully and completely wide awake and back to your normal everyday state, except perhaps feeling more refreshed and relaxed than before, with those subtle positive changes beginning to happen, even at a cellular level.

I personally like to use my hypnosis audios, in a quite house, whilst laying back in a comfortable chair, but it doesn’t have to be this way. You can be in a trance on a train on your way to work, you can be in a trance when on your lunch break in your office you can even be standing up and in a trance. What really matter is that you are able to concentrate. In fact, someone once told me that there are just 3 skills required to create trance in any human being. Concentration, Imagination and cooperation. So if you know that you possess these skills and you enjoy relaxation, there is a very strong possibility that you will go into a hypnotic trance state and begin to improve your health and wellbeing.
