Have you ever had a problem that seemed so stuck and so complicated that you just couldn't get it straight in your mind? And the more you tried to make sense of it, the more complicated it seemed to get. We've all had a problem like that before, and it's good to know that there are people in the world who make it their business to help others solve problems.
But what happens when the person who is supposed to solve the problems is also confused by the problem? Who helps then?
It's useful to know that there is a wealth of resources to be had for those who make it their business to help others. At People Building, we have walked in all of those pairs of shoes. We have been that person with a problem, and know how that feels, that urgency to fee open one's own mind. We have been the therapists helping the client with their problem, and we have even been the therapist who has once in a while listened to a client and thought ?heck, what do I do here?? It's great to be challenged in this way because we accept that no one person has access to all of the possible answers, and accepting this only drives us to discover the answers we haven't yet got.
Now, we are established as a support network for therapists also. Every week we receive inquiries such as therapists requesting Hypnosis scripts for problems they are unsure of how to tackle, or parents who are interested in our NLP for children programmes, wondering what small steps they can take to encourage their children. And unlike other popular training organisations we do one significant thing differently to other training companies that I approached when I was a therapist, feeling suck about a problem. The most meaningful thing that they do, is that they reply. And when they reply, they will point you in the best direction they know and offer the best suggestions they have. This in itself is unique- that a training company that is busy conducting NLP and hypnotherapy training courses reply to a message for help, let alone that they will help anyone in any way they can, even if that person has never actually trained with them- even if you have trained with a competitor training company.
However, before you go ahead and call or email them, the best point of reference is their website. Here you will find Hypnosis scripts for hypnotherapists, hypnotherapy audio mp3's and e-books to help you write your own hypnosis scripts, e-book of collections of hypnotherapy scripts and e-books to help quit smoking, improve confidence and relationships. There are also many other resources contained on the site, such as quizzes and personality tests which you might like to try out for yourself or refer you clients to so that they can discover more information about themselves and how their mind operates.
They frequently publish a free hypnosis script in their free fortnightly newsletter, which also contains hint and tips on NLP based techniques that you might like to try out with your clients.
Osteopathy was devised in 1874 by Andrew Taylor Still. He trained as an engineer before receiving formal medical training at Kansas City School of Physicians and Surgeons, after which he worked as an army surgeon. He was unhappy with the often brutal medicine of his day, and he felt that stimulating the body's natural powers of self-healing would be preferable. He was interested in the body as a machine and became aware that many illnesses were the result of a misalignment of the body's structures. Manipulation could restore the balance and cure illness, he believed.
His philosophy was that "structure governs function," a belief that remains one of the basic principles of modern osteopathy. He claimed that tension in muscles and misaligned bones places unnecessary strain on the body as a whole. The initial strain can be caused by any number of factors, such as physical injury, or habitual poor posture, or by destructive emotions such as anxiety and fear. Adjusting the framework of the body would relieve that strain and enable all the systems to run smoothly so that the body would heal itself.
Modern Therapy
Osteopaths regard the body as a unit, a whole being made up of contributory parts. An abnormality in the structure or reaction of one part exerts an abnormal influence on all the other parts, which in turn affects the whole body. The normal, healthy body contain; within itself all the necessary mechanisms for its own defense against injury and infection, and for restoration to normality following trauma. This defense and restoration take place best if the body is maintained in optimum condition, when there is maximum structural mobility and flexibility.
Osteopathy is therefore aimed at encouraging the body's internal mechanisms to focus on their own self-corrective function on the imbalance. The osteopath's aim is to correct the dysfunction so that the body is then in a fit state to heal itself. Osteopathic treatment is concerned as much with maintenance as with cure. A regular checkup enables the osteopath to detect and restore areas of dysfunction before they manifest as disease.
Osteopathy employs a wide range of manipulative techniques, varying according to the part of the body being treated. Tight muscles will be relaxed in order that fluids may flow freely, allowing blood to carry nutrients and oxygen to where they are needed, and allowing the waste products in the lymphatic fluid to drain away. Some regions may require gentle, slow, low-velocity touch, while soft tissues and some joints may need flexing or massage. Joints with reduced mobility may require joint mobilization therapy. At all times, however, it is the entire body that is undergoing treatment. The local body area, which is subject to the presenting complaint, naturally receives close attention, but the osteopath also minutely examines the rest of the body for other factors that may predispose or contribute to the complaint.
