An introduction to hypnotherapy with Den Clare

One of the worst smokers ever!

James sounded a reluctant stopper as he ‘phoned to enquire as to the process for stopping smoking. 69 years old, he was smoking a scary 100 cigarettes a day and had been told by his Doctor to stop in preparation for an operation in two months time.

Forgotten Safe Combination at Jewellers

The call came mid afternoon when a very panicky voice asked for help! She was the manageress of a jewellery store in the South of England and had taken charge of a new store that day. Her first action was to change the combination of the safe. She selected the new numbers and at some time in the afternoon closed the safe door and twirled the combination lock.… Read the rest “Forgotten Safe Combination at Jewellers”

Exam Nerves Banish them!

Exams! Tests! Difficulties studying! What gets in the way? Firstly lack of preparation.
