Learning hypnotherapy, weekend 6.2

The second day of this weekend covered all kinds of things, although it was a little light on the practical sessions (only one of them). We spent a fair bit of time on Obstetrics, which makes sense given the interest in hypnotherapy for childbirth. The pain management we covered the day before would also come in very handy here. I doubt I'll be getting involved in any of that though, the childbirth side of things that is. It's not really my cup of tea - although still very useful for those folks that are interested in helping out in that area.

We also spent a bit of time on time distortion (which was also the practical we covered). It didn't seem very useful to me at first, mostly because I couldn’t think of a situation when I'd want to use it. When we went into more depth about it, it started to seem more useful - such as with helping sports performance (e.g. getting them to experience the event/game/whatever in slow-motion), or even just a simple case of making some boring task feel like it takes less time (the way things do when you enjoy them). And it can also be useful for some types of sexual problems, which we covered as well. Again, I can't really see myself using it very often, still interesting though. And I did say that about the weight control stuff when we first covered it, but I've been doing some of that after all so maybe I will get involved in this as well. Still a good weekend though, even if it is only the pain management stuff I end up having much use for.
