Call Bryan at Plymouth Hypnosis Center: 610-397-1515" width="300" height="195" align="left" /></p>
<p><big>If you have to stop seeing someone who you really like and care about, breaking up with that person is hard to do. Learning how to heal a broken heart is very important to our emotional health and to our ability to return to enjoying life.</big></p>
<p>Often, we have no choice but never see one other again, and it&#8217;s worth knowing how to get over those break ups and continue to move forward with our lives.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h2><strong>A Few Good Steps To Take After You Break Up</strong></h2>
<p></center></p>
<blockquote><li>Try not to imagine that you and your ex-partner will get back together. You must demonstrate strength and reluctance in letting those thoughts get into your head. Being strong now will most certainly pay off in the future. (Hypnosis is great for this!)</li>
<p><br /></p>
<li>People usually only think of the &#8220;good times&#8221;. Reminiscing on the wonderful times that you and your ex had while you were together does nothing good for you; it only aggravates your pain and prolong your recovery.</li>
<p><br /></p>
<li>&#8220;One-itus&#8221; (When you think that your ex was one-of-a-kind person.) No matter how special he or she was, your next relationship will be special in its own, unique way—this is just the reality of how it works.</li>
<p><br /></p>
<li>Reframe the break-up as an opportunity to learn how to deal with such experiences and become a stronger and better person. (I always learn something from each relationship.)</li>
<p><br /></p>
<li>Your lost relationship was not a waste of time. You had great times (and not so great times) for as long as it lasted and don&#8217;t forget that some things are probably just not meant to last. There is no insurance against breaking up whether you have been together for a month or for 20 years.</li>
<p><br /></p>
<li>Have you made certain mistakes in your recent relationship? Learn from those mistakes and make sure that you don&#8217;t make the same mistakes in the future.</li>
<p><br /></p>
<li>Lastly, just live. Pursue your professional and social goals and don&#8217;t leave much space for boredom in your life. </li>
</blockquote>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Breaking up can be a positive experience if you allow it to be. It can make you grow and become a stronger and a more attractive person. Make sure you take advantage this time.</p>
<p><big><strong>And, it is important that you remember that the pain of breaking up is a feeling and it will not go away overnight. If you need help in reducing that horrible feeling, try hypnosis. It works amazingly well! Call me at 610-397-1515 and we&#8217;ll talk.</strong></big><br />

<p><big>Breaking up isn&#8217;t easy for anyone. If you have just been dumped—or if it was your idea to do the dumping—what you really need is a plan to move on. The first step is to accept the fact that the relationship is done. Even if you were the one who broke things off, it doesn&#8217;t make things any easier.</big></p>
<p>The biggest problem with breaking up is that you will still feel the need to get in contact your ex. You might think of yourself as friends one day, this isn&#8217;t the time to be &#8220;just friends&#8221;. One thing to do is write down (yes, <em>really write this down!</em>) why you broke up. What were the things with which you were unhappy? When you get the urge to contact the ex, read that list.</p>
<p>As in any breakup, you&#8217;ll probably feel the need to talk about everything concerning that person and people will tend to listen and support you. (But as time goes by even your closest friends will likely find it annoying when you keep on talking about your ex.) Talk about it… and once you are done, stop.</p>
<p>Next, reconstruct your life first before you jump into another relationship. Go on a vacation or reconnect with an old friend (not an ex, however).</p>
<p><big>If you need to turn down the hurt feelings, contact me and we&#8217;ll talk about how hypnosis can help you reduce the pain of breaking up. Hypnosis can&#8217;t get you to forget memories (it doesn&#8217;t work like that), but it can &#8220;turn down the volume&#8221; of the pain.<br /><br />
<strong>Call me now at 610-397-1515 and we&#8217;ll talk.</strong></big><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://www.plymouthhypnosis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/post-itgirl.jpg" alt="Reduce your stress at Plymouth Hypnosis Center: 610-397-1515" width="200" height="281" align="left" /></p>
<p><big>Stress can take a lot out of you. When you feel overwhelmed and “up against the wall”, do you notice familiar headaches or backaches that you get in response to a stressful situation? Before you let this upset you, take the time to think about what type of stress you’re experiencing.</big></p>
<p><strong>There are two types of stress:</strong> Eustress and Stress. Each is so different; one is actually <em>useful</em> while the other is harmful to your body.</p>
<p>Eustress is one of the helpful types of stress. Eustress is an anxious feeling that&#8217;s more akin to anticipation than dread. You may experience eustress before giving a presentation at work, before going on a job interview or when preparing a gourmet meal from a recipe you’ve never tried before. </p>
<p>Eustress happens, too, right before you need to exert physical force as it prepares the body for whatever is about to happen.</p>
<p>In eustress, you’re dealing with uncertainty, and the outcome isn’t fatal. It is the proper name for a man&#8217;s pounding heart as he produces the engagement ring or the bride&#8217;s pre-wedding jitters just as she’s about to walk down the aisle. </p>
<p>These are &#8220;good&#8221; stresses as they represent taking a step into the unknown toward a positive outcome. <strong>Stress or “distress”, on the other hand, is fear, anxiety, frustration and that overcoming sense of dread. </strong></p>
<p>Ever experience “job burnout”? This is the result of working too long in a stressful environment. Exposure to stressful situations and people whose demands become stressful to you results in negative stress and burnout.</p>
<p>With stress, there’s nothing useful about it. It&#8217;s the warm-up act for a heart attack, stroke and emotional breakdown. Those who say they &#8220;work better under stress,&#8221; haven&#8217;t asked their immune system how it feels. </p>
<p>This could also affect your immune system! Living or working under stressful conditions for long periods of time is damaging to your immune system. Ever noticed how you’re more inclined to catch the office cold when you’re overworked than when you are not? </p>
<p>Your immune system can&#8217;t deal with the stress load and have enough left over to fight a bug. <strong>Stop and analyze your stress in a “mood journal” by writing down specific answers to these questions:</strong></p>
<li>What causes you to feel stress? </li>
<li>Where are you when you feel the most stress?</li>
<li>Who is with you?</li>
<li>What are you doing?</li>
<li>Has anything changed recently in this situation?</li>
<p><br /></p>
<p>When observing your stress patterns, you can look at ways to change either your involvement with stress or your response to it. Is what you are feeling really harmful stress (distress) or just eustress? </p>
<p>If it&#8217;s actually eustress, then you can change what you say from, &#8220;I&#8217;m so stressed out over the vacation&#8221; to, &#8220;I&#8217;m so excited about our vacation!&#8221; You’ll be amazed how your body responds differently to each type of stress.<br />

<p><big>You&#8217;d better manage stress, or it’ll find a way to manage you. Stress can be very invasive in your life. It loves to be in the driver&#8217;s seat and you hand over the keys without fail on a regular basis because you feel defeated by it.</big></p>
<p>You could blame. Blame the boss, the spouse or the traffic. While you can&#8217;t control what other people do or say, you can manage some of the smaller irritations in your world in order to reduce your stress.<br />
<br /><br />
<big><strong>Here are some stress triggers that you have the ability to bring under management:</strong></big></p>
<p><strong>Clutter:</strong> Got “stuff”? The more you have, the more time and attention it will require to maintain. One way to reduce that demand is to eliminate the clutter and get rid of some stuff that you don&#8217;t really need. (Sell it on eBay and make a few bucks from it. You’ll find it great therapy and fun, too!) Start room by room and take a critical look at the time demands of your stuff. Tip: Pledge to give away or throw away at least two clutter items from every room.</p>
<p><strong>Buy Less:</strong> Before you buy a new wok or 26-piece baking set, think about how often you would actually use those items. Do you have any other kitchen equipment that can double for the same purposes? (I know for me, books are my weakness. So many books and they take up so much space! Now, I borrow them from the library or download a digital book instead.)</p>
<p><strong>Magazine-Perfect Housekeeping:</strong> Sometimes, good enough is good enough. Unless you can afford a full time housekeeper, just accept that “it’s clean” is good enough. Save the frantic floor polishing and baseboard wiping for seasonal cleaning or preparing for a party. Remember, those rooms in those magazines look so great because they were done by a crew of designers and cleaners. (And, sometimes, no one actually lives there to mess them up.)</p>
<p><strong>Are You a Clothes Horse?</strong> Buying clothes is a kind of closet &#8220;clutter addiction&#8221; that can get out of control. Clothing isn&#8217;t just something on a hanger; you need to wash, mend, press or take it to the dry cleaners. It&#8217;s actually harder to get dressed in the morning if you have an over-stuffed closet. So many choices become stressful—as does not being able to find the other shoe or that special tie, so you waste time changing outfits. </p>
<p>Trim down the closet. (Ebay again!) If you need help, ask a fashionable friend or hire a wardrobe consultant to work with you. These are just a few ways to manage stress by dealing with the things in your home. You can apply the same strategy to the “stuff” in your office, too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://plymouthhypnosis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/loss_and_grieving.jpg" alt="Loss and Grieving" width="301" height="217" align="left" /></p>
<p><big>Lately, I have been helping many people with getting over the loss of a loved one. Grief. It&#8217;s tough to handle and if you are handling this alone, it&#8217;s even worse. What most people don&#8217;t know is that hypnotism is excellent in helping you get over the pain of grieving.</big></p>
<p><strong>So, How Does This Actually Work?</strong></p>
<p>In hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), we talk about association and disassociation. When you are associated to a thought, it can overpower you. So, what if you can learn to <em>disassociate</em> from the pain of grieving? That would be amazing.</p>
<p>At <em>Plymouth Hypnosis Center</em>, what I do is help you &#8220;move away&#8221; or disassociate from the pain — as if it were a movie, for instance. If the thoughts aren&#8217;t happening to YOU, and instead, you are experiencing this as if you were watching a movie, then the feelings become less intense. You&#8217;ve disassociated with the grief.</p>
<p><strong>One of the questions I usually get, however, is &#8220;Can you make me forget&#8230;?&#8221; And, the answer is: No.</strong></p>
<p>Aside from the fact that you can&#8217;t remove memories with hypnotism (contrary to what you see on TV and the movies), you really wouldn&#8217;t <em>want</em> to remove those memories, right?</p>
<p>But, what I <em>can</em> do is <em><strong>help you turn down the &#8220;volume&#8221; of those thoughts</strong></em> — so you can cope with them and get on with life.</p>
<p>And, once you&#8217;ve turned down the &#8220;volume&#8221; and disassociated from those powerful thoughts, you&#8217;ll feel better, think more clearly and be able to live again.</p>
<p>The memories will still be intact; they just won&#8217;t overpower you.</p>
<p>Lastly, I will teach you how to distort time. Since they say, &#8220;Time heals all wounds&#8221;, what if you learned how to make time fly&#8230; so that it feels like months or even years later. The pain diminishes even more.</p>
<p>If you need help in getting over a grieving process, call me at 610-397-1515 and we&#8217;ll talk in a free consultation. It&#8217;ll take about 40 minutes.</p>

Or, worse —<em> it&#8217;s you</em>. Bedwetting happens to children and adults and it&#8217;s not only mortifying, but it extremely stressful to all involved. Fortunately, hypnotism can save the day. (Or night.)</big></p>
<p>Whether the bedwetting happens in the home, at camp, at a hotel or whatever — it&#8217;s embarrassing and so time-consuming. And, the mental anguish is excruciating.</p>
<p>One of the techniques in helping my clients who come in for <strong>nocturnal enuresis</strong> or bedwetting is to help the client be aware of their sleep.</p>
<p>Unlike sleep alarms that just wake you up at night, you learn how to communicate with your body (with self-hypnosis) and you actually do wake up and run to the bathroom. This is effective and many of my clients see results almost immediately.</p>
<p>Hypnosis is better than drugs and there are no side-effects. If this is a problem for you or your family, <strong>call me at 610-397-1515 and we&#8217;ll talk.</strong><br />

Stress isn’t a one shot deal where you get it once and then never have to worry about it again&#8230; you can experience stress repeatedly and, while that might be par for the course for many people, stress can wreak serious havoc on your quality of life. </big></p>
<p>Stress can make you feel terrible health-wise. While you might not immediately realize that you’re dealing with a high level of stress, however you may have felt that something is different physically. </p>
<p>Having the “jitters” or feeling nervous are signs of severe stress. So are other physical problems that you might dismiss at first. But this ailment can usually be traced back to the moment it began. </p>
<p>Maybe you began to struggle with physical symptoms after a loved one walked out on you or after a child was diagnosed with an illness? Perhaps, you witnessed a trauma or been through one yourself? </p>
<p>Situations such as those can cause stress that lasts for a period of time. The kind of feeling that persists is said to be a more serious form of stress and calls for a period of treatment to alleviate the problem. </p>
<p>How you choose to address stress management can vary from a few simple techniques to more in depth intervention such as medication or sessions with a counselor or a hypnotist. Sometimes handling the way you feel can be as easy as not doing what you’ve always done. </p>
<p>Everybody has stress. (The only time when you have no stress is when you are dead.) When you feel stress, your body will respond; it’s just the way it was meant to react. It’s fight or flight. This is a good thing in small doses; it’s for your protection and well being. But if your body is in a constant state of upheaval, this can lead to digestive problems, sleep problems and more. </p>
<p>When stress reaches the point where it’s causing you to miss out on life, getting help is the most important thing you can do for your mental health as well as your physical health. </p>
<p><strong>Call me, Bryan Toder, now at 610-397-1515 and we’ll talk in a free consultation about how hypnosis can help you reduce and manage your stress.</strong></p>
<p>Realize that stress management is not always a one step cure. It’s a process — a series of small steps that you can take. Results will vary and with help, you can learn how to cope and come out on the other side — to a healthier, happier you.<br />

But when that fear becomes paralyzing — when it affects our lives or our very safety — that&#8217;s the time to fix it. Hypnotism and NLP is a great way to do it!</big></p>
<p><big>People with fears have their careers in jeopardy, lives could be at stake in an emergency and it&#8217;s just a horrible way to live. You <em>can</em> fix it — and lead a happier life!</big></p>
<p>Many people have overly-aggressive fears or phobias that stop them in their tracks. </p>
<p><strong>Some of the most common fears are:</strong></p>
<p>• Driving over bridges<br />
• Bugs (the fear of spiders is a big one!)<br />
• Relationships<br />
• Public speaking<br />
• Social situations or sociophobia<br />
• Needles<br />
• Success<br />
• Failure<br />
• Death<br />
• Disease, especially cancer<br />
• Thunder &#038; lightning<br />
• Heights or acrophobia<br />
• Confined spaces or claustrophobia<br />
• Open spaces or agoraphobia<br />
• Flying or aerophobia<br />
• … and so much more!</p>
<p>Fear is a normal reaction and this emotion has been imprinted in all of us. Fear is the internal knowledge (whether true or false) that you are in danger or that something bad is about to happen. And, fear is usually accompanied by physical symptoms which are quite disturbing. </p>
<p>But, when it is not justified by any rational cause, or the presence of a real danger or threat and when it is also accompanied by the systematic avoidance of the situations that lead to it, then this is what is called a phobia.</p>
<p>Fortunately, much of the reaction to a fear can be reduced or even eliminated with hypnosis and/or NLP. NLP, by the way or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a way to get results in MINUTES — usually with just a few sessions. (The hypnotist at <em>Plymouth Hypnosis Center</em>, Bryan D. Toder, is a Master Practitioner in NLP.) Your results will vary, of course.</p>
