I sold these back in 2010; if there is enough demand, I'll restock them (please use the comments section to declare an interest or request a custom-made badge). Previously, the first badge on the list sold out completely the first day they went on sale. The Training Workshop Survival Kit! Badges for seminar/training/workshop attendees: "Fuck..

One residential care environment that I worked in specialised in a particular method of annoying the insane. It used the "are you sure?" method. For those unfamiliar with this method, it goes something like this. Staff: "Hi John, how are you feeling today? Have you been feeling anxious?"Patient: "I'm fine, thanks."Staff: "Are you sure?" (spoken..

I want to tell you a short story. It's largely true. The bits that are not true arise merely as a result of my faults in my memory, ability to recall, and some deliberate obfuscation to eliminate identification of the subject of the story. The story comes from my time working in neurosurgery. A young woman..

It’s been some years since I put together the website www.tappingforcash.com. It was a fun site, mostly, and a wry look at a therapeutic process that I consider to largely consist of total nonsense. However, the complaints continue to arrive in a slow but steady trickle. I care not, probably because I am exactly what..

I'll call this project "The Tapping Challenge," and I will gladly assist where possible any tapper who wishes to take on any of the challenges outlined below. Tapping Challenge #1. A team of tappers meets and camps outside a regional psychiatric outpatients clinic for one month. Every person entering the clinic is shown where to..

There are a number of themes to the messages, but the primary theme seems to..

I cannot pretend anymore. I am often embarrassed to call myself a hypnotherapist. When socialising, for example at parties, business network meetings and so forth, I dread that question, "So, what do you do?" It was great when I worked in brain surgery and accident and emergency because the conversations used to go something like..

I'm on the BBC in a regional programme for the North East and Cumbria. From the BBC press release about the show: The show's investigation reveals that while there are several hypnotherapy organisations, none of them are regulated by law, and there are no standard qualifications. This worries hypnotherapist Andy Austin, who blows the whistle..

Once again I might upset a few people here, but since I do it so well, I'm going to make a claim. It is a claim that is based purely on my observation and is true in some, but not all, cases. Here's the claim: NLP training can be a very fast way to unemployment...
