Topic: HYPNOTHERAPY & RELATIONSHIP ISSUES

Presenter: Robert O’Conner

It is my objective as well as the leadership of ASPH to expand the potential uses for Hypnosis beyond the standard Smoking and Weight Loss issues.

Relationships -- not only those with significant others -- but all of our relationships are often strained if not doomed because of past relationship wounds and misunderstandings, called in today’s vernacular “baggage.” Many of the past issues that are quite often the most challenging can be greatly relieved if not rectified altogether by the wise and appropriate use of Hypnotherapy.

When relationship issues are broken down to simpler and less confusing dynamics such as Healing the Past, bringing understanding and purpose to the Present and learning how to harmonize and coordinate the essential dreams that carry our vision and intention with Unconditional Love and Respect into the Future, we will almost always bring to life joy and harmony where sorrow and discord once prevailed.

Topics to be covered and Hypnotherapy processes to be demonstrated and practiced include the following:

*The roles our parents had in forming our relationships

*Creating a new vision of our self and others

*Discovering how money and its related issues affect relationships

*Redefining and establishing our goals and priorities

*Learning and establishing good communication skills

*Resolving poor self esteem and anger issues

*Learning the profound and essential healing processes of

ACCEPTANCE, FORGIVENESS AND GRATITUDE

Please come and join us in this adventure of self-discovery and relationship healing. We will have a lot of fun and enrich our individual practices.

January 6, 2009

This was a very information packed meeting. Robert O’Connor, or new president, gave his “inaugural speech”, encouraging us to expand our horizons as hypnosis professionals, and addressed some of the possibilities available to grow our practices. He also reminded us that the Board is reviewing all the surveys that have been submitted and we will be looking at all or your comments and concerns and addressing them in the upcoming months.

We then began with Don Rice as our first presenter. Don lead us in a group hypnosis session to help us address and release some of the emotional issues that prevent us from being as abundant as we deserve and desire. Thanks Don, we now have a wonderfully abundant group of hypnotists.

Then Dr. Sam Sterk took the mike with Patrick Powers for a demonstration on how to create a session to help ourselves and our clients to achieve the physical body they desire. The key to his session was to create the feelings we want and to feel them so intensely that they become our reality. With this process, we can create what ever we desire, whether it be physical changes to our body, healthy habits or to accomplish a goal. The results are the old saying “If you can believe it, you can achieve it.” Patrick was an amazing participant and we could actually see a shift in his physical presence during and after the session. Way to go!

Pattie Freeman was last, but certainly not least, in presenting information from the Law of Attraction. Patti gave us some wonderful tips to help us attract what we want in our lives. Some of the things were things we all know, like expressing gratitude daily and writing down our goals. We all know this, but it was a reminder that these practices may get lost in the hurried pace of our every day lives. We appreciate your gentle reminders.

After introductions, we discussed upcoming classes (see member announcements below), members were reminded of the networking meeting that takes place in the dining room before the official meeting and Debbie suggested that anyone who found interesting article about hypnosis submit them to her (or a link) for publishing in the newsletter.

A motion was made and seconded, and the meeting was adjourned at 9:10pm.

Respectively submitted,

Debbie Gent
