The Cognitive Hypnotherapy Review

It was my Uncle Bill‘s funeral yesterday and I know this steps outside the bounds of my usual postings but I felt I wanted to share something, and hopefully why will become clearer to me as I write.

Uncle Bill was a wonderfully warm part of my childhood. He was always looking for the humour in situations and seemed, I don’t know.. ‘light’ about things, nothing mattered to much; so different to most other adults I knew. Like my Grandfather he was an encouraging influence on me, and, although a small man, he always filled a room with the joy he took from life. If you’re British and I say the person he most reminds me of is Del Trotter from Only Fools and Horses, you’ll know what I mean.

It's always fun to be involved in a broadcast, and to do so from the famous Radio 4/World Service studios was a particular thrill. The knocking noise you hear every now and again is me tapping a cast I was wearing at the time on the table while I tried to think of what to say...

If you're reading this then it's likely that you've got an interest in the science of the mind/body connection. An interesting thing you may have noticed, and it might be because of the way the term is constructed, is that most attention is paid to how the mind affects our body. Whole books are devoted to the power of the mind and how it can be harnessed to heal the body, or improve its performance in some way. From my experience with clients, and in my own life, I take this as a given, and I'm gratified that nowadays barely an issue of New Scientist comes out without more research confirming it.

What I'd like you to consider is the power of the flip side of this equation (did I just mangle a metaphor?), how the body affects the mind.
