to provide an additional informative resource for the public.
BSCH - ASIA
The LCCH has now established its training courses in Asia,
based in Malaysia. This is in large part due to the energy and
dedication of our member Sheila Menon, who trained with
the LCCH in London during the nineties. Although the Society
already has an international flavour - having members in many
countries this development in Malaysia is so significant that it
represents a chapter in its own right.
The Secretary had the opportunity to meet with some of
these new Asian students earlier in the year and was impressed
by their dedication and overall standard of education. The
whole mindset in this part of the world is one of enterprise
and it is certain that the students trailblazing the profession of
hypnotherapy in this region will capitalise on the opportunities
that are open to them. We welcome them into the Society and
look forward to providing support, advice and an exchange of
energy and viewpoints.

KAREN CAMPBELL
Associate member Karen Campbell has produced a CD entitled Relax. The CD is to be marketed through the National
Phobic Society with a significant portion of the sale price being
donated to this charitable organisation. Members who listen
to the recording will recognise basic scripts, which have been
amended to suit the production of the CD. What is significantly
different is that Karen is based in Bridge of Weir, and the magic
of her very gentle Scottish accent is in itself most relaxing and
therapeutic. In addition to this Karen has managed to recruit
support from a professional guitarist whose skill in providing
background music is well worth listening to. The CD has been
produced in a recording studio and the product is of very high
quality indeed. The detailed work of this CD has taken some
two years to develop and the planning, preparation and final
product reflects the meticulous effort that has gone into the
piece.
The CD includes sections on relaxation and de-stressing,
guided meditation, and self-hypnosis. It is delightfully relaxing
and will surely be enjoyed by most patients who need to take a
little time out when they are at home, and indeed by therapists,
who deserve a relaxing break.

HELLO TO EVERYONE IN
EUROPE AND ASIA,
It is almost impossible to believe it is April. And yet it feels
like I have been here for ten years. 2007 coincides with Visit
Malaysia Year. We are celebrating 50 years following independence. And in two months we will celebrate the first anniversary
of LCCH Malaysia. There is going to be a beach party. All LCCH
Malaysia ex and current students are welcome and any visitors
from LCCH (abroad). There will be dancing, swimming, and
some interesting classes under the palms. We are hosted in
Trengganu by a professor of counselling; Baha (an ex student);
and a very current Dip. Student, Peter. I believe Peter (Mabbutt)
will be in Malaysia that month so we may do a few group sessions on the beach!

loved visiting the different states, and even having the chance to
go abroad (Singapore). It was especially great, since I have lived
in all these places.
The Diploma course has begun. It is serious work, especially
for us in Malaysia since we are also shaping the beginnings of
our professionalism here. Diploma (and Practitioner Diploma)
graduates from LCCH Malaysia will become amongst the first
professionals to qualify in Clinical Hypnosis in Malaysia. We
work closely with the AFPM and other organizations to provide
an integrated approach to medicine and a holistic approach
to patient care. This follows international guidelines and is
expected to provide the best care for the patient and the most
satisfaction for the professional.
Some students, as is always the case, prefer the social aspects
and lighter side of the Certificate course. The LCCH Malaysia
Alumni has been created to provide a social group and a means
for students, who met and had fun during the certificate course,
to continue to do so. And now that we are expanding again and
leasing offices with a few additional rooms there will be meeting space for both erstwhile and continuing students. We have
even added Aini to our permanent staff.

On April the 26th LCCH Malaysia and the Academy of Family Physicians (AFPM) celebrated their collaboration at the international and inaugural conference between the Royal College of Australian GPs and the AFPM. There has been a lot of planning,
many meetings, and of course much debating of the menu! Which was quite fun, given that all this takes place at the Imperial
Sheraton (KL).
Our contribution was the one day workshop on Pain Management through Clinical Hypnosis, and Peter Mabbutt was here
to co-present. We have obtained CME points for the workshop and are now also in discussion with several other medical
organizations. As this Newsletter goes to press Dr. Anna Zohrabian who arrived in May is presenting a hypnosis in psychiatry workshop. Dr Anna also opens the next LCCH course which also offers CME points to doctors and includes a joint
certificate available to both Certificate and Diploma students. Students already on the Diploma course will also receive joint
certification.
So, as usual, it has been busy. But is has been fun. Michael Joseph visited us and spoke to our Diploma 1 and the Certificate 3
students. It was great to see Michael - and even better because he insisted on meetings being conducted at a Langkawi beach!
But then he sent me and Peter back to workAnd so here I am.

CHRISTA MACKINNON, LCCH COURSE DIRECTOR
FOR THE SOUTH WEST WRITES:
I already mentioned before that the Exeter LCCH team is
proud and fond of the many students who attended the courses over the last nine years, and who have put their acquired
skills to good use, changed their lives in the way they wanted
to, gained much confidence during their studies and are currently practicing all over the South West. We will therefore,
again, let Exeter students and practitioners speak for themselves.
We keep reminding students that they shouldnt forget the
professional skills they acquired before training as a hypnotherapist, and to find out if they can combine the old and the
new. We again provided space to two practitioners, who combine their previous professional skills with their newly acquired
skills in clinical hypnosis: Kim Moore, who combines her hypnotherapy skills with a range of other treatments, especially
though with craniosacral therapy, and to Teresa who used her
newly required skills in clinical hypnosis to assist in her equine
Reiki work.
Jayne Owen, currently a student on the practitioner course,
has overcome her long-standing dental phobia by developing a
treatment plan for herself, and has written an account of her
struggles for us. Jaynes gorgeous smile is now enhanced by
perfect teeth.
Finally I want to thank all the students who contributed to the

you!

HYPNOTHERAPY
CHANGES LIVES
FOR THE BETTER
By Teresa Bulford-Cooper
For no reason that I could
fathom I suddenly lost confidence in riding and handling
my horses - not helpful as I
teach equine Reiki! I decided
to put the self-hypnosis, which
I had learnt on the LCCH
certificate course last year,
into practice. The results were
astounding. The self-hypnosis enabled me to overcome my
fears. I now love riding and working with my horse once again.
After observing the changes in me, Viv from Top Hat Arabian
Stud, asked if I could help her conquer her fear of horses. Viv
and her daughter Claire breed Arabs, and Viv was terrified of
them! This made working around them very difficult, as Claire
would have to move one horse at a time so that Viv could
muck out. Vivs fear was so great that if she saw a horse being
led in the yard she would run for cover! After treatment with
hypnotherapy Viv no longer needs to have the horses moved
for mucking out; she is quite happy to be in the stable with
them, and will even get them off the horse walker and lead
them by hand!
I have also incorporated hypnotherapy into my NLP and Reiki
practice with amazing results. People with very low esteem,

Case History
At the age of 10, I split one of my two top front teeth lengthways. The first trip to the dentist resulted in a specially constructed filling - a temporary measure taken while my parents
and the dentist considered the best permanent fix. Dental
technology 35 years ago was not what it is today; so the result
was unsightly, but I could at least talk without lisping.
There was, of course, a hitch. She explained that I had a crossbite. Instead of my bottom teeth fitting neatly below the top
teeth when my mouth is closed, my jaw is slightly misaligned so
that on the left side my bottom teeth extend slightly beyond
the top ones, crossing at the false tooth and placing pressure
on it. The bridge would be complicated.

Was it worth it? Yes, definitely. A month later I am still getting used to the new arrangement in my mouth; and the joy
of finally being rid of the plate is immeasurable. The cosmetics,
cleverly, look similar to what was there before.
How well did hypnosis work? To review the issues:
Knowing that it would be a long and complex process breaking it down into smaller steps and focussing on the motivational image turned the process into a series of minor, manageable
goals.

This is a very busy time for us here in the North-East, with a Certificate Course and two
diploma courses ongoing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my two stalwart
supervisors on the present courses, Jan Rollin and Stephanie Newboult, for the sterling work
they do on the weekends and also to thank all past students who have worked as supervisors
at Leeds.
There are always openings for past students who want to become supervisors. This is a great
opportunity for them to attend the course again - free of charge - and to have the satisfaction of knowing that their knowledge
and experience is helping new students on their road to becoming professional therapists. Becoming a hypnotherapist continues a
lifelong learning experience. I have been practising now for over 21 years and am still learning: from my patients, books, attending
courses, from students and from life itself! I never cease to be amazed at the power of the mind; and if I ever do lose that wonderment I know that will be time to stop but right now I cant see a time when that will happen.
I would be pleased to hear from any past student, who is currently practising and qualified to Practitioner level, who is interested
in becoming a supervisor and even perhaps going on to train as a lecturer. Also there are some areas in the North where we are
short on tutors and anyone with the above qualifications who is interested in becoming one, should please contact me on 01282
843 363 or email me on dorothy.chippendale@lcch.co.uk.
I would like to welcome Karen Riley, who is going great guns with her HypnoBirthing classes, to the ranks of the tutors.

LETTERS FROM THE LCCH MIDDLANDS STUDENTS
When I found out I was pregnant in January 2006 I was delighted; but one small thing troubled me - giving birth!
I began to trawl back through my LCCH notes for the obstetrics section and wrote a treatment plan for myself. My main
aims were to have a comfortable, medically sound pregnancy,
be relaxed about the forthcoming birth, and give birth naturally without the use of drugs, except gas and air if I wanted.
Several days later I had a comprehensive treatment plan but
then discovered a distinct lack of local therapists who had
experience in this area. This left me no other option than to
exclusively use self-hypnosis.
Almost every evening I would hypnotise myself and go through
my plan, applying various techniques including dissociation, pain
control, time distortion, anchors, reframing, and guided visual
imagery. As the weeks progressed my fear subsided and I
became genuinely excited about the birth, much to the disbelief
of friends who had children already. During antenatal classes
I was surrounded by women terrified of childbirth; yet despite
their negative vibes I remained calm and relaxed. As my bump
slowly emerged so too did all the horror stories about childbirth; yet these simply made me more determined to prove to
everyone that childbirth could be enjoyable. I had my secret
weapon hypnotherapy.
My pregnancy was described by the midwives as textbook
with everything going according to plan. I thoroughly enjoyed
being pregnant and did not experience any of the uncomfortable side effects usually associated with pregnancy. I remained
calm and strong despite a series of devastating personal events
that unfortunately occurred throughout the nine months.
In the middle of the night, just two days before my due date,
my waters broke. How did I feel? Excited! Not just at meeting my baby but to see how the hypnotherapy had worked. I
packed the remaining items into my bag as if I was going on
a holiday instead of to hospital to have a baby! My husband
was more apprehensive than me! Eight hours after my waters
broke, and using only gas and air, Jamie Dyson was born weighing 8lbs. My labour/birth was problem-free and much quicker
than the average 16 hours for a first baby.
I now specialise in helping women to achieve a calm and
relaxed pregnancy and birth. I currently have many friends who
are pregnant and who come to me to hear a positive story
about birth. I had always been convinced of the power of hypnotherapy (although admittedly had remained sceptical about
the effectiveness of self-hypnosis) but I certainly dont doubt

Hypnotherapy can help to decrease the effects of infertility, and it can also work to help increase fertility. By reducing stress, relieving anxiety, lifting depression, increasing the
patients sense of control, it enables patients to cope better
and take better care of themselves during this time. As part
of the treatment I teach people a variety of self-help tools,
including self-hypnosis, which can be used for many things
including deep relaxation. Relaxation techniques help women
to cope with, and heal from, the stress of infertility while
also substantially increasing the rates of conception. Using
approaches derived from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I
always aim to work with unhealthy beliefs and to challenge
them so that the patient can actively change the causes of
stress and anxiety. Hypnotherapy also helps couples to pre-

Paul - After the first session Paul found his neck muscles to
be less tense. By the second, his co-ordination at tennis and
badminton had improved noticeably. This was confirmed by
remarks from a number of club members. He had also begun
to listen to music again. Regular listening to the relaxation CD
was proving helpful in helping him to feel calmer and less physically tense.
(/
Paul - Consistently better agility at tennis. Right hand movement flicker on a scale of 1:10 had reached 8:10. Deliberately
focusing on, and recalling, earlier times of improved fitness
and mobility seemed to help movement so a specific tranceinduced regression to younger fitter times was planned. The
main issue here was how, as result of Parkinsons, his body had
forgotten how to be mobile and learned to be less able. This
session was quite remarkable in the way in which Paul experienced and recalled a time of youthful movement and fitness
extending up to his early forties.
Colin - Quality of sleep had been better than for years. Longer
intervals elapsed between the periods needed for medication. The medication now seems to have an effect much more
quickly - possibly due to the nutrient suppliment. I have come
a long way in three months. Hypnotherapy does help with
calmness.
Secondary symptoms are: lack of facial expression, excess saliva, distinct stoop, poor body temperature regulation, impaired
speech, some difficulty with word selection, impaired memory,
poor hand movement (and consequently difficulty with eating
and drinking), and turning over in bed at night.
Medication: 2 mg of Pramipexole daily. This particular drug is a
dopamine agonist, and is supposedly neuroprotective.
Fitness: I have always maintained a high level of fitness. I
started weight training at the age of 16, and still do a limited
amount now. My strength peak was at the age of 51, when I
was bench pressing 290 pounds, and doing half squats with 560
pounds. Since 1982 I have run more half marathons then I can
remember. I also belonged to two badminton clubs, being the
captain of the mens team for one of the clubs until two years
ago. I still play the occasional game (albeit limited). I have
played tennis virtually every Sunday for the last 25 years.
Background: trained in electronics and worked for a number
of blue chip companies. Started to develop symptoms of
Parkinsons about the year 2000 and was diagnosed in
September 2001, at the relatively young age of 47.
Health: for the last ten years at least he has actively taken a
multi-mineral vitamin supplement with a probiotic; this has enabled him to remain healthy and he has not had viral infections
such as colds, flu or the occurrence of a sore throat (which
could be viral or bacterial) during the whole of that period.
Secondary symptoms are: Lack of facial expression at times;
stooping posture more apparent without medication; resting
tremor can occasion poor hand movement and co-ordination.
Stress exacerbates symptoms.
Medication: consists of Sinemet Plus, Stalevo (100mg l-dopa),
Cabaser (4mg daily). Colins consultant has allowed him to mix
and match as required the l-dopa-based medicines as they have
different absorption rates. Colin still works full time.

its students, this course is being offered to you as a supplement to your studies. Those of you wishing to further develop
your hypnotherapeutic skills, and in particular listening and
questioning skills, can gain some excellent counselling skills.
All therapists, regardless of their therapeutic discipline, need
counselling skills to help their clients strive towards their
goals. Counselling skills can be identified, taught and learnt.
They take a long time and much practice to hone. This course
has been developed to kick starts this process. The emphasis is on developing self-awareness and the foundation skills
through lectures, experiential work and constructive feedback.
Counselling skills include active listening and responding to clients with genuine acceptance, using questions which help clients to say whatever is in their mind and enable them explore,
clarify their feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

Assertivness Training
LECTURER: KARINE SOLLOWAY
Many patients with physical or psychological issues tend to
have difficulty expressing their thoughts and feelings assertively,
at least in some situations.
For many individuals, taking charge of their lives, making clear
decisions, responding to others needs in a mature adult way,
can be challenging. By acquiring strategies for change through
setting out a personal life plan individuals can effect both
physical and mental advances in behaviour.
This Masterclass offers a range of communication skills to
enhance your understanding of the components of assertive
behaviour and to enable you to provide your patient group
with a practical structure for change.
SYLLABUS:
Definition
Personality types and their behaviour
Rights and self-beliefs - changing negative thinking
Body language: body cues for enhanced therapeutic efficacy
Active listening
A comprehensive protocol for modelling assertive
behaviour
Assertive therapeutic interventions: dealing with passive,

Treating Patients With Borderline Personality Disorders
LECTURER: MIKE BRYANT
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a disorder that causes
intense, long-lasting mood swings and is often characterized
by inappropriate behaviour. Symptoms of borderline personality patients could range from feelings of emptiness, paranoia,
impulsive self-damaging behaviours or severe dissociation.
Patients with a BPD may appear in our offices with a variety of
presenting symptoms, such as compulsive behaviours or severe
relationship problems, or simply wanting to break their smoking habit.
SYLLABUS:
Definitions
Influencing factors
Emotional and cognitive patterns
Interpersonal relations
Therapeutic interventions
Working with medical staff
Case studies
Related disorders
Unfamiliarity with the disorder could mean that a hypnotherapist could miss out on treatment provision even though the
patient presents with borderline symptoms. It is therefore
important for the clinician to be able to clearly identify the
condition.
In this Masterclass the participants will be provided with empirically supported information that will help to demystify this
disorder and to plan effective therapeutic interventions.
The course will also look at related conditions, in particular,
narcissistic disorders.
Psychoneuroimmunology
LECTURER: PETER MABBUTT
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a relatively new science that
explores the relationship between psychological states and
body function. It is the study of how both positive and negative
states of mind can affect immune system responses, specifically
with regard to the development of disease. Many authorities
now acknowledge that there is a link between negative mindsets, such as stress and depression, and the development and/or
course of conditions such as cancer, arthritis, systemic lupus
erythmatosis (SLE), and coronary disease, to name but a few.
With this in mind it becomes obvious that a positive state of
mind can have the opposite effect, playing a beneficial role in
boosting the immune system whilst helping to mediate acceptance, management, and possible remission.
Hypnotic literature is littered with anecdotal evidence showing
how the mind-body connection can be utilised to a patients
advantage. This Masterclass is designed to explore the field of
PNI and show how it relates to hypnotherapeutic intervention.
It will encompass the use of imagination, dissociation and metaphor whilst highlighting the important difference between the
concepts of healing and cure.

This generation has seen an explosion of self-help titles covering nearly every area of mental,
spiritual, physical and emotional well-being. Within this, a handful of new business card titles have
appeared too, one of the most prominent among them coach. A decade or two ago, a coach
meant either a hyperactive trainer with a whistle around his neck pushing sportsmen to their
limits - or a vehicle used to transport from one destination to another. Now however we have several new types of coach, but I
wondered if they have anything in common with the old coaches.
In his book Performance Coaching, Angus McLeod PhD sets out to explore the range of coaching roles that have materialised
in public life and valiantly labels and defines them. Coaching, he says, is the use of silence, questions, and challenge to assist a
coachee toward a defined work-based target. From this definition arise a number of coaching specialities including: Performance
Coaching, Mentoring, Life Coaching, and Counselling. Typically, a coach works one-to-one with a coachee to help bring
about desired changes. Mr. McLeod himself comes from a business and counselling background, but throughout the book draws
on a very wide range of techniques, notably those coming from neuro-linguistic programming and cognitive and person-centred
therapeutic models.
The author sets out the book clearly. The coach, he writes, is a fabulously valuable facilitator of change whose aim is to encourage the coachee to extend and explore their frame of reference and to help motivate and inspire them. As such, it is not an
instruction manual exactly, nor is it a book that is best digested linearly and read cover-to-cover. Indeed, the author has striven
to write an accessible work, designed to be picked up and read from any page. The first half of Performance Coaching illustrates several and varied coaching issues typically seen in business and corporate life. Rather than cover a few key issues in depth,
McLeod appears to want to fit in as much as possible, therefore presents quite literally dozens of techniques and scenarios condensed in the first chapters alone. These techniques will be familiar to coaches and therapists, even if at times by another name;
zero-through-ten, induced state, positive intention, limiting beliefs, metaphor, future pacing, timeline, and so on. Explanations
of these tools and linguistic tips are helpfully boxed off to be read in conjunction with or apart from the surrounding text.
In one example, Mr. McLeod coaches a woman who is being bullied to stay on after work when she is already late for an evening
engagement. The purpose of this vignette is to show what the woman actually said when confronted by her boss, and then to
determine what she would rather have said, how she would like to have behaved and felt, and how to employ that new behaviour in future. After a brief introduction the author reprints a section of their coaching session with asides as the dialogue
progresses. In this case, he prompts the coachee to come up with her own more satisfactory responses to the bullying boss by
creating a parallel situation in a different setting to hear how she would respond. He hands the responses back to her and works
with her to refine her responses and to keep within a recommended limit of three simple messages. With her new and improved
responses, he applies the broken-record technique which obliges her to repeat and integrate her new responses. The scenario is
then role-played with the boss. Finally, as homework, she rehearses her responses and tries them out on others with successful
results.
In the chapter entitled Drivers for Change, the author focuses on the area of change work. In a business coaching context, he
writes, it is important for organisations to link business goals with personal goals. He chooses a selection of case studies in which
coachees perceive some kind of failure of themselves which then affects their work. In one case study he highlights the NLP metaprogramme model which looks at away from or toward motivation issues. In this case, the coachee is delaying starting writing
a proposal because he dislikes the process, even though he knows it must get done. Through questioning, the coach establishes all
the reasons which will eventually force him to write the proposal. These he categorises as away-from reasons. When he questions what good will come out of writing the proposal, the coachee comes up with a couple of positive comments but can get
no further. The coach intervenes with the intervention if there was something else good about getting that proposal done, what
would it be? It transpires that the answer to this question is really the key motivator for the coachee - his desire to do a formal
presentation about this proposal. This linguistic technique is one which helps the coachee to think outside the box. Other subjects tackled here include lacking compulsion to change, compelling targets, and positive affirmations.
Later chapters focus on how coaching is applied within organisations and presents additional methods and development models,
including the authors own STEPPPA model. He also reintroduces a number of establish NLP models based on analysing speech
for modalities and linguistic preferences. The chapter on Coaching Development focuses on improving a coachs mindset, while
the final chapters describe the business side of coaching, protocols, pitfalls and mentoring.
In one of the books appendixes, McLeod writes that the word coach comes from a small town in Hungary where the slow
coach was first invented. The experience of reading Performance Coaching though is rather like travelling in a fast-moving highspeed train whizzing through interesting towns, villages and countryside, often wishing it could slow down a bit to see and appreciate more. The author acknowledges that many of the issues are presented here rapidly in a single context, but can and should
be adapted for different situations. And there is a lot of information here. Indeed it is clear this is not an introductory-level coaching book, nor is it a textbook with in-depth reference. Rather it is aimed at existing coaches, managers and HR professionals. As a
therapist and coach with several current coachees, I found the volume useful in bringing new perspectives as well as being a good
refresher of the wide range of techniques and approaches available. It is unquestionably an excellent reference from an experienced coach packed with tips, techniques and relevant case studies, and a useful addition to any professional coachs library.
