The silent addiction to everyday painkillers
By ISLA WHITCROFT - Last updated at 10:30am on 13th February 2007 Daily Mail
How easy just to ‘pop a pill’ to resolve life’s problems. It’s almost demanded of us by our loved ones, our family, our bosses. What is your survival tipple? Painkillers, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, cigarettes, or is it illegal drugs?
When it is just now and then, or it in small amounts, it is in your control. However, when you find that your taking more; or you cannot stop; or its everyday, then you will need help.
What help is there? In most cases, it is very important to get to the cause and resolve it. Without doing this the sufferer will return to addictive behaviour, often in another form.
Counselling, hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP all work well. Here is two new set of initials to note, TFT and EFT. These are based on acupuncture yet needs no needles. Also, it is you who apply the solution. I use these as well as the others.

Suffer Little Children!
A very brutal apprenticeship
By MICHELLE DEWBERRY - More by this author » Last updated at 00:11am on 15th February 2007 Daily Mail
In the article Michelle tells of the brutality of her father against herself and her mother. How this blighted her life yet made her strong.
Some might see the story as how adversity can lead to a strong self. This may be true for some however for most it never gives anything but pain, fear and suffering. Brutalising of a child often leads to problems in adult life being unable to form relationships. The mother being beaten can lead to the child believing that it is normal. After all, humans only know what they learn and childhood is the most influential time for learning who we are.
Michelle does not mention any form of therapy. However her mother showed great strength in breaking away from the father. Now some again will say that For those who are still traumatised by the events of their childhood, therapy is there to help.
For this kind of trauma, hypnotherapy, with NLP and counselling is a successful combination and has lead to many gaining control of their lives.

Hypochrondia is not a joke
I thought I was dying for six years so don't tell me hypochrondia is a joke

Many people suffer from anxiety disorders, about 10% of the population. It can range from just checking symptoms against … to debilitating beliefs that the contact with anyone and any thing will kill. It is worthwhile reading the above article because it gives much of the horrors a suffer goes through.
It is also worth reading the comments because, although most are sympathetic or even empathetic, there are those who cannot understand. They have the ‘curtains’ solution to the problem. I.E. ‘Pull yourself together!’ The problem with that solution is – if the person could – they would because being in this state is so destructive.
Another solution is drugs, both prescribed and illegal. They can only hold you where you are and in the case of illegal drugs, make things much worse. That is not to say the short term relief of the drugs.
The woman in the article was given CBT. This is a powerful psychotherapy solution which can be made even more powerful with hypnotherapy and NLP.
I have worked with many people suffering from illness anxiety and helped them to a happier life. The three tools I mention help any form of anxiety.

Stress, Health and Weight control
"Thousands are claiming incapacity benefits for stress in sicknote Britain"
Last updated at 22:00pm on 31st January 2007 (Daily Mail)
My Reply to this article:
As a Hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and Stress Manager I have indeed seen my work load increase over the years. Most comes from the workplace and spreads into relationships, spending, addictions and anti social behaviour. The one problem I am coming across even more is that of prolonged duress stress disorder.
As for being spongers and scroungers; my clients pay for all their treatment and are often higher management including MDs. I therefore come to the conclusion that it is very real.
It is so a pity that my services are not available on the NHS because I would want to help all despite ability to pay.
More…
Many of the replies to the article gave person experiences of stress and related problems. Most talked about how devastating stress had been. There was also mush about how he NHS could not cope with their particular problem.
Some hark on about how it’s all a con and they should just pull themselves together. “My question to you is: Is it the stress – anxiety – illness real to you?” If the problem is real, then there is so many way that help you. For instance, if the problem is bulling at work then developing assertiveness plus an ability to remain calm is so useful and well within most hypnotherapist and NLP practitioners skills.
‘My quest for size zero'

pressure – pressure – pressure
Why all this pressure to be thin? It is good to be within a certain weight for height ratio, however to be below is as dangerous as being over weight. And as I have said before, the quest alone can be very damaging to your body and the attempts to remain slim.
The most useful method is to listen to your body, it knows best, it will return you to happy and safe weight levels. This is the method that Paul McKenna uses and he gets very high success rates. A key element in such a programme is to work on body image and how you feel.
