00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.200
Welcome to two next thirties talking with me today film and don't wear you with today.
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.240
And me, let's drop it, and say hello.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.880
Speaking of casting for anyone and everyone who likes to know more about the fascinating world.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.320
And the benefits of the doctor.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.120
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist.
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.079
I'm a specialist in working with children.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.559
I'm a retired medical doctor.
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:27.839
Consultant.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.960
We are two hypnotherapists talking.
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.119
So let's get on with the episode.
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.640
The nice thing about one is just you and I don't have to introduce you, you don't have to introduce you.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:41.920
Everybody knows that.
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:42.640
I know.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.960
We were talking before we came on air about what do you want to do for next season.
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.320
We both think that we probably should have a little more direction in where we're going when we do this.
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.960
So I I really like the idea of bringing in fears and phobias.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:58.560
I agree.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.479
Those issues because there's so many there's so many fears.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:03.600
There's so many phobias.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.560
There is a lot of different ways that this can manifest itself.
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.439
And it isn't anybody on the planet that hasn't got some little dark corner somewhere that they don't like to look at.
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:14.879
Okay.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.799
So what are we going to talk about today?
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.000
What about where we're up to what we're doing for now, you know, for the in the next few months?
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.519
What we're going to be up to?
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.239
Well, you know, I changed my marketing plan.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.640
So I'm I'm I'm advertising and writing about one particular issue for the entire month.
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.040
So June was all what was it?
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:43.280
Pain.
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:43.840
Pain.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:44.719
Pain.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.879
Yes, chronic pain.
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:55.519
And then this month is anxiety, stress, and sleep because they tend to be all much wash together.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:04.799
And next, I think fear and fear and phobia is a natural one to do, actually.
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:05.599
Yeah.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.520
Like you said, that do you see many people for fear?
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.039
I do actually.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:22.319
I've got to tell you about I've just had a consultation with a young boy who has a fear of people sneezing.
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.960
Does he think he'll catch it or he just doesn't like the noise?
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.159
We're not quite sure.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.280
We've not got there yet, but he doesn't like it.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:32.879
He's seven.
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.319
He gets very, very run around running around the room and leave or scream at them, or what happens?
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:53.520
I well initially, when I got the inquiry from mum, I initially thought, oh, and if it's COVID related, but he was a baby during COVID, so he, you know, he doesn't he doesn't remember COVID at all.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.960
But you don't have to remember something to be frightened of it.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.319
No, you don't.
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.280
But he he has this really bad, intense.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.919
That's all I how I how I can explain it, intense fear of sneezing.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.360
And I said to him, what happens if somebody sneezes at school?
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.599
What happens if somebody sneezes at home?
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:24.000
So mum said, Well, if we want to sneeze, we have to go out the room, to go out the room and hold it as much as it's very hard to make it worse, yeah.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:39.759
And if anybody sneezes at school, especially in this weather now, then he really does have these overwhelming behaviors where he he has to leave the class.
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.400
So he sneeze himself.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:47.599
Has he had allergies?
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.120
No, he doesn't know, very, very rarely sneeze sneezes himself.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:03.840
I think it it goes deeper than that as well because he actually said that it's not just sneezing, it's actually other bodily functions that he doesn't like as well.
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:04.879
Oh dear.
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:05.759
Yeah.
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.599
So we will look forward to hearing more about this young man in your final.
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.120
Yeah, we'll see.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.280
So I think you're starting to see him.
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.879
Uh I'm not quite sure yet.
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.680
We're just waiting for mum to get back with some dates.
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.240
But I have I have offered them two sort of packages.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:35.759
One is hypnosis in an indirect way because he's a child, and the other one is hypnosis with my version of sleep talk, which is rest and reset.
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.839
So yeah, that would be a good way, really.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.519
Yeah, I think I think it would be a good thing.
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.439
I think it really works for him.
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.000
Yeah.
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.480
Does he want it to work?
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.759
Does he feel like this is my thing, leave me alone?
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.040
Or is it no?
00:04:51.199 --> 00:05:02.319
He does he does want to change, but this is the delay in whether he's coming back or not, because he's not quite sure whether he wants me to help him.
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:09.040
So I've just said I've just done a video, sent it to Mum, and it the video is for him, and we'll just have to see.
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.360
Just sit there and good luck.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.040
He's uh he's very reluctant, he's very scared of change as well.
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.120
So that doesn't help, but we'll just have to see.
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.959
Does he like school?
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.800
He does, he enjoys school, yeah.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.920
He's he's a he's a good he's a good achiever, high achiever.
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.720
Do you know whether he developed this before he started school?
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.560
How long has it been a problem?
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.920
Since he's been to school.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.040
It's only it's been about 18 months, two years.
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.720
So it's before, it's after he's he's been to school.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:51.279
He he went to what's called reception, not reception, he went to nursery, then reception, then I think he's year two months, something like that.
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.519
So we'll just have to see what happens.
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:01.759
Mum knows you know what I'm capable of doing, and it I I came highly recommended by somebody else, so we'll just have to see.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.759
Yeah, well, good luck.
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:04.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.480
But we do get some weird and wonderful ones, don't we?
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.439
You know, and I think I think they they're nice because they they challenge us, don't they?
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:24.480
And and yeah, I think the other thing is while we're while we're smiling about this little boy who doesn't like to think to remind people that we will not laugh at whatever your thing is.
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:32.480
It we know that these aren't these aren't trivial to the people who are suffering from definitely, definitely not.
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:39.279
You know, it's it's just that when when you're in when you're doing this line of work, it's just nice.
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:50.240
It sounds awful, this, but it's it's to me, in my opinion, it's nice to have something different, and it's nice to s um to be challenged, really, isn't it?
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.360
Yeah, rather than just the well, good luck with him, hopefully.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.040
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.319
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.279
So this is a busy, yeah.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.560
I will, I will.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.160
So are you busy?
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.319
Is it because kids are out of school now?
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:07.519
No, they don't finish yet.
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.240
I think it's 22nd July, they finished.
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.160
Right, but it's just getting things set up for the during the holiday.
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:28.000
Well, I'm I'm running well bit well-being classes for the children, but I'm only I'm running them for four weeks, but I'm only running them on a Monday and a Wednesday mornings.
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:38.480
That's all I'm doing because for the past couple of years, when I've been running them for the likes of our local council, they've really taken over my whole summer.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.399
So I'm just gonna run them for summer as well.
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:54.879
90 minutes a day for four weeks on a Monday and on a Wednesday, and they will get a booklet, they will get all kinds of stuff, and there's lots and lots of crafting and activities to do as well.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:55.759
So that's nice.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.680
Oh, what's the age spread?
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.240
Six to twelve.
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.600
I'll accept a five-year-old, but I'll also accept a 13-14-year-old, but yeah.
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.920
You probably wouldn't want to be in with a bunch of little kids.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.040
Exactly.
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:18.000
So I'm I'm just I'd just leave it open for uh for parents, you know, at parents' discretion.
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:31.600
Um listen, for those things that are those things that work for groups, like weight loss, which is a good thing, because everybody in the world has complained about their weight in the one direction or the other.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.759
So it's not people aren't shy to talk about that it no, no.
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.399
You know, and and so I think groups are much easier for people to deal with in that.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.440
And we're also been sort of social socially acceptable, weight watches not for the rest of it.
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.799
So people aren't surprised to say you have group programs.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.639
Yeah, I mean the very they are very small groups, they're only eight.
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.399
The the maximum eight I'm gonna have here, but because eight children, I think that'll that'll be enough.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:06.399
These are in person though, these are a face-to-face, so I don't want more than eight children here at a time.
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.639
I just think it's gonna be bedlam, but it's gonna be fun, so I really like it.
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:12.000
So that's what I do.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:13.519
Sorry?
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.759
Seating in the new place.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.600
Yes, we'll have it there.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.320
Yeah, there's lots of seats.
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:29.919
Yeah, but also we've got room away from it at the front of it to put the gazebo, so the gazebo can go as well.
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:36.960
So we've got plenty, we've got plenty of room, lots and lots of chairs, got big long tables, so it'll it'll be it'll be good.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:37.600
Okay.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:45.840
What when you have a client come to you who says, I've had backache for the last 20 years.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.919
Other than saying earlier, what's the first thing that you ask them?
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.320
If they've been to the doctors, actually, and what the doctor has said Well, yeah, 20 years they're better off.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:09.519
Yeah, and I would yeah, and I would be asking them for I would actually want to write to the doctor to see you know why they've still got this pain.
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.399
So and go from there, really.
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.960
So find out what else they've done because it's a lot of things.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:28.000
I've actually got a a lovely lady who's coming to see me for pain, but the pain that she's struggling with is from some road traffic accidents.
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.960
So it's like an old pain, really.
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.720
Did she get seriously hurt in the accident?
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.159
Or uh just the residual tension thing.
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:51.440
Yeah, she she's got she she's had a few issues with the back and a few issues with the legs and everything, but now years after it's a combination of everything that's accumulated.
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.600
So she's not being older.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:59.600
Yeah, she's got clearance from a doctor, so uh she's uh she's good to go if you get me.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.039
So that that will be nice.
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.759
Do you get referrals from doctors?
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:14.159
I don't get any Do you think even people who've had patients of theirs go through whatever you've done with them and it's worked?
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.080
You don't even get it, it doesn't occur to them to say no.
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:25.279
I've challenged this with a few doctors because every every client that comes through, I will ask them, can I write to their doctor?
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.919
And it's on my intake form, either yes or no.
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:29.679
And I explain what it's for.
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:40.159
It's not to give the doctor war and peace over what's happened, it's just to explain that hypnosis or hypnotherapy can be used for blah blah blah.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.879
You know, I've asked a few GPs and get some tips if they've got something else they've got about.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:12:05.519
Yeah, but I've asked a few GPs why they can't why they won't refer my own GP as well, and their excuses, and I'm sorry, I'm using that terminology excuses, because I do think they are excuses, is we don't know you, so we can't recommend you.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.759
So I I go back and I say yes, but I'm registered.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.000
How many of the surgeons that you send people to?
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:12.720
Exactly.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:13.600
Do you know?
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:26.320
Well, my argument with one of the local GPs was well, you refer to a private podiatrist and a private chiropractor.
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.960
Why can't you refer to me?
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.039
And he he couldn't answer.
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.519
I still still write to them.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.279
I've had one person.
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.159
It is it is have that sort of woo-woo that we've got remaining.
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.240
I've had one person again.
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:49.519
Sorry, sorry, stage hypnotists, but really you have given us an awful lot of pain over the years.
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:55.120
I've had one person who the the lady that came for me that's come for the pain.
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.919
She actually was told by her GP to find a hypnotherapist.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.840
She asked a GP.
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.200
Yeah, she asked Have you written to said GP and thanked him?
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.440
Not yet, I've not finished with it yet.
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:16.240
So I she did say, well, what hypnotherapist, and he said, I can't recommend anybody.
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.559
So that will be going in my letter.
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:25.440
That will be going in my letter, and it's just it can be done, it can be done.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.200
You know, the the all they need to do.
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:36.480
I'm lucky my my general my general doctor and sent me four people.
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.240
It's mostly it's weight.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:51.440
They get so you get pigeonholes, oh you do weight, oh you do dog bites, oh you do you know, it's it's uh it works for anything it might be going on in your mind.
00:13:51.919 --> 00:14:03.759
What they what they could do is they could say, well, listen, here is a hypnotherapist that I know some of my patients have been to see her.
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.480
I can't recommend it, but all I can say is that the results have come back.
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:12.799
I can't hear the dog.
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.080
Can you not have it right?
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.960
I I just think it's just I don't know.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:45.679
Sorry, you keep talking while I I just think it's unfair, really, that they can refer to for somebody to go to for counseling, they can refer to chiropractors to podiatrics, but they they not only that, but it's I mean, not all, but a large number of chiropractics are sort of anti-traditional medicine.
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.600
And we definitely aren't.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.240
We think it's supposed to be together.
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.960
But yeah, it's just it just seems it just seems slightly unfair.
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.120
But hey-ho, that's the beauty of it.
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:09.360
And it what I all I can do is just to keep sending the letters through once that my clients have finished their uh sessions with me, and just hope that one day my husband's just taking the dog in.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:16.000
And hopefully, you know, one day, you know, somewhere some GPs will recognise it.
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:30.559
But it in Australia, one of our friends who was in the growth club with us, Nina, Nina has referrals every single week from GPs, not just one GP, quite a few GPs.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.200
Do you know how she reached out to the GPs to start?
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:40.159
No, I I'll uh no, I'll have to speak to Sheila about it because Sheila knows, Sheila was involved, yeah.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.879
She would be a good person to have on the call.
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:47.919
Because honestly, most of the people that listen to us were already getting the pissed.
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.120
Yeah, but yeah, so Nina, Nina is uh she's a hypnotherapist.
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.519
She she was in our uh growth club.
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.000
I don't think I don't know if she's still in.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:06.639
She just started sending things out to the GPs, and then Sheila Granger got involved and and it just escalated from there.
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.919
And she's doing she's doing absolutely fantastic now.
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.080
I think one day something something's got to give, hasn't it?
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:22.000
Because the state of it at the moment, the state of you know, the mental health and and also you know the GPs.
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:36.639
I don't know what yours is like over in the USA, but our GPs since COVID, there's something strange going on with RGPs, you know, because you can't book an appointment.
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:42.960
You have to ring up at eight o'clock on the morning and see if they can take you that day.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.840
You can't book you can't make an appointment for next week.
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:47.519
No, you can't, you can't do it.
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:53.120
And I because I said, Well, I'm self-employed, I've got, you know, I've got clients to see.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.799
I can't just drop them to come and see the doctor.
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.320
No, no, you can't.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.799
We don't, they're not taking any appointments.
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:18.960
And the the medical centre where my GP is, I used to work there as well in the medical centre when I did speech and language, and it used to be packed, it was thriving, it's such a busy, busy, there's a big waiting area, you know, in the atrium at the bottom.
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.880
Now you go in, there's no hardly anybody there, and you just think, well, what are the GPs doing now?
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:28.000
Yeah, I don't know.
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:37.039
Because my my I I know they had you know, you have a Wednesdays usually were closed, they were doing office work or playing golf.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.440
Fair enough when you work in the weekends.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.720
Yeah, fair enough.
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.359
But you know, it's just strange.
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:51.759
But the the big my biggest thing that drives me bonkers is they'll insist on me making an appointment I go, I see them twice a year, basically.
00:17:52.319 --> 00:18:00.640
One is a a more intense, this is the annual physical, and you set that up, and then why you set something else up for six months from now.
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.440
Well, I don't know if we're gonna be in the same state six months from now.
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:05.200
I'm sure we can set one up.
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.559
And then a couple of months along, I'll get a message.
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.920
Well, the doctor's away that week, can you make another appointment?
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.240
But then, of course, all the other appointments, two months outside of that, are taken up with people having made appointments really.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:33.200
Well, they this happened, this happened through COVID because I don't know, I don't I do I still don't understand what's happened, but it's not just local here, it's nationwide, it's right across England.
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:45.200
I I I assume it's right across Scotland and and Wales as well and Northern Ireland, but it's you can't get an appointment unless you phone up and you sit there and you're in a queue.
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.000
Which really means if you're gonna go that day, cancel everything else, it's because you're actually physically sick right now.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.400
Not the all the stuff we're supposed to go to the doctor to prevent the issues.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:57.680
Yes, yes.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:10.480
So my daughter, she's had a really bad infection where she she's had uh a temperature, a very, very high temperature, 39 point something, very high.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:18.400
Um, and so she phoned our GP up, and the GP sent her to the walk-in centre.
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.440
So it doesn't matter whether it was contagious, it didn't matter to the GP.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:29.680
It was a case of, well, you need to go to the either to A E or you need to go to the walk-in centre.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:36.880
So she went to the walk-in centre, she's been given antibiotics because she's they said she's got an infection.
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.759
She's only it's over a week now.
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.039
She's only yesterday started to feel better.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:48.880
So she's phoned the doctor to make an appointment to see her own GP.
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:50.000
Nope.
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.279
So she could she's Saturday, which is tomorrow.
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:58.480
That's the whole point of the GP service to have somebody who knows you and you know them.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:03.759
Yeah, so Saturday she's going to see an out-of-hours GP somewhere else.
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.279
So I just wonder if anybody, and if any GPs, local GPs or British GPs come across this, answer the question.
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.960
I'd like to know what on earth has happened.
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:25.359
Why have we gone from where you could ring up and make an appointment for say next Thursday for something?
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.319
Well, if that's yeah, holidays, you know.
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.759
I do I need rabies shots to go to XYZ country.
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.279
Those those things you need to well now what you do is you you would you would see the nurse practitioner.
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.759
You wouldn't see, I couldn't tell you the last time.
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.839
I don't go to the doctors that often, but I couldn't tell you the last time I saw my doctor.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:49.119
So most of the officers now have nurse practitioners running interference as well.
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.720
I should think so, yeah.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:21:00.720
And I do understand that they don't want the people who you know just uh make an appointment every single week to see the doctor and they go in.
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.839
I I understand, I totally understand that.
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:11.759
But for people who, like my daughter, who wasn't well, yeah, and she couldn't she couldn't go.
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.519
I don't understand.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.759
So if anybody's out there and they can explain it, that would be absolutely fantastic.
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:19.279
Strange, isn't it?
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:21.920
Poke around my doctor groups and see if I can find the break.
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:29.039
It would be would be really interesting to find out, and this happened after COVID.
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:34.799
This happened through lockdown, which of course nobody could go to the doctors, which is understandable.
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:41.200
But once lockdown was lifted, this is how it's been since then.
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:42.079
Yeah.
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:54.559
My father, who was very typically himself, uh, he was always annoyed to find out that he could tell because he could see her car that the doctor was in on a Wednesday afternoon.
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:55.920
She's doing paperwork.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.640
You have no idea how much paperwork there is.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:23:25.920
imagine yeah but it's it's I don't know but yeah we'll I'm sure somebody will explain it to to us one day but it it's just the same with the same with our um with the the dental the dental surgeries nobody could get in to see any dentists if you weren't registered with a dentist you couldn't get in and that's a lot of private yeah I don't know what happened haven't a clue but anyhow it it is what it is I've got to tell you something though Denise what I've been doing so yes I you know how last year I launched my book Nomi's Big Book of Phoenix I have been recording the audio version I know I know so I have to change my voice in order to do Nomi's voice at first I thought shall I get a voice changer you know find an app with a voice voice changer and I thought well that's cheating a little bit isn't it so so what I've done is I have a picture of a four year acting classes I have a I have a a picture that I've downloaded from Google of a four year old child and when I'm talking to the child when I'm doing no me's voice I put the photograph up on my laptop so that I can change my voice so as if I'm talking to a four year old and not talking to an adult.
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:43.440
When do you can't wait to get to the adult section and then I can just talk myself I'm only in I've only done a couple of recordings so I'm just gonna and so you're releasing it through the same company did it release no no I'm just gonna I'm gonna put it on my website and people can download it from my website.
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:51.119
So I'm gonna do the ebook event it will also appear here at the bottom of the it will once people put it actually up online.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:24:22.799
But it it's been good fun actually it's been really good fun it's anything that takes you out your comfort zone it's great isn't it you know and I've all have to do now and again and I've been do I've been doing videos all week as well talking to to parents you know our videos so that was uh I think they'll be sick of me I've just got two more days to go I'm doing a seven day video campaign so but it's good fun though isn't it yeah so what's what's in store for you what what are you doing over the summer?
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:46.640
Uh we're hoping to go away one of the the son that lives in Flagstaff he's been there for four years he has uh got a bump up title wise uh he's moving to Ohio that will be happening in the next few weeks or probably be and that's only about six and a half hour drive from us which is hugely different it's a little over a hundred miles whereas he's 2,000 miles from us right now.
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:59.759
So so they're uh they're both you know grew up in Jersey so we'll be able to see um and her parents will be able to visit and you know he he'll be able to come here for a long weekend.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:23.279
Yeah without an airplane being involved I'm trying to think yeah um we're going we're hoping to go to Oregon next June May June so we're gonna fly to Portland and I think we're gonna drive from Portland to Eugene because I think it's only about two two and a half hours so we're gonna do that.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.680
So we've been looking at flights and everything.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:26:15.440
So you're you're quite far you're on the opposite side Messer side yeah yeah you're not gonna come across about three three thousand miles to come and say hi probably not gonna happen well you may you're welcome if you get yeah if you get detoured by the planes you're welcome yeah so yeah so we've we've been we've been looking at flights I think we have to fly from Manchester to Iceland to Reykjavik and then Reykjavik to Portland and then we could do Portland to Eugene but I think there's a two and a half three hour delay so we might as well yeah or there's a shuffle because I believe there's a shuffle that we can take so we're open to anything so we're we're gonna have a proper look leave it till after Christmas and then have a proper look and um this is a cousin or a it's my I've got two cousins in in eugene but I've got an auntie and an uncle in Eugene as well.
00:26:15.599 --> 00:27:17.519
My dad's my dad's younger brother well youngest brother he's he's there so they came they come over every couple of years so they they came over last year so they've invited us over so we thought you know what let's do it let's go yeah well that's the same when we go to we only go once because of the who hear's going on over here but Phoenix is the largest city near him at the moment Flagstaff is about two hours away up a mountain so they they fly themselves in and out of Phoenix uh in and out of Flagstaff but most people yeah it's cheaper to go to Phoenix as well you can either get a bus there's lots of buses that'd be good or yeah driving for two hours is nothing in America I I believe so right I believe so so that's I think that's why not so much on the east coast where I am but it'd be nice it'd be nice to see I've never but that's next year you're talking about next year.
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:51.599
Yeah it's next year you absolutely have to yeah I've never I've never done it I actually when I was 16 15 16 probably might have been a little bit older my parents offered me to go with them to it was when my uncle and auntie lived in San Jose and they offered me to come over with them and I went oh don't going on holiday with my parents so I know my God did you go to see a therapist about that because I know turn something down like that.
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.920
Do you know where I went?
00:27:54.079 --> 00:28:17.839
I went to Salu in Spain instead with my friends and and yes I really enjoyed it but the difference in going on vacation with your parents going on vacation with friends yes okay it's only it's only when when I've got older and I've thought what did I do that for this is my opportunity to come over well let's hope America's still here where you come because things are pretty awkward.
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.240
None of my sisters are coming in sources over.
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:45.440
Well that's that's what I mean we we're gonna have to play it by ear and see what happens first aren't we you know fingers crossed you never know do you so all right so we've devolved again to our usual thing where we kind of forget when we're talking to an audience we have that audience it would be really helpful and probably saving grace for you if you tell us what you'd like us to talk to you about.
00:28:46.000 --> 00:29:05.200
Yeah also let us know about the GPs as well in in the UK and see what's going on but yes please let us know anything and we can uh we can always add it in can't we and it doesn't really it it does have to be therapy based really doesn't it but it doesn't necessarily have to be the same things.
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.319
And therapy doesn't mean it's necessarily a medical issue.
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:19.839
No yeah I I don't want to go dancing with my husband might be worth therapy but it's not obviously going to be something heavy.
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:41.359
It's 90 degrees here so I've got a pan in front relax I'm gonna get some iced tea I'm going to cook now I'm going to cook uh dinner so I know I know perfect weather for pizza somebody else can bring your really cooked food that's a good idea that's a good idea yeah do you have that many pizza shelves in England?

Welcome to two next thirties talking with me today film and don't wear you with today.
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.240
And me, let's drop it, and say hello.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.880
Speaking of casting for anyone and everyone who likes to know more about the fascinating world.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.320
And the benefits of the doctor.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.120
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist.
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.079
I'm a specialist in working with children.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.559
I'm a retired medical doctor.
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:27.839
Consultant.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.960
We are two hypnotherapists talking.
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.119
So let's get on with the episode.
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.640
The nice thing about one is just you and I don't have to introduce you, you don't have to introduce you.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:41.920
Everybody knows that.
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:42.640
I know.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.960
We were talking before we came on air about what do you want to do for next season.
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.320
We both think that we probably should have a little more direction in where we're going when we do this.
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.960
So I I really like the idea of bringing in fears and phobias.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:58.560
I agree.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.479
Those issues because there's so many there's so many fears.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:03.600
There's so many phobias.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.560
There is a lot of different ways that this can manifest itself.
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.439
And it isn't anybody on the planet that hasn't got some little dark corner somewhere that they don't like to look at.
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:14.879
Okay.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.799
So what are we going to talk about today?
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.000
What about where we're up to what we're doing for now, you know, for the in the next few months?
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.519
What we're going to be up to?
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.239
Well, you know, I changed my marketing plan.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.640
So I'm I'm I'm advertising and writing about one particular issue for the entire month.
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.040
So June was all what was it?
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:43.280
Pain.
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:43.840
Pain.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:44.719
Pain.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.879
Yes, chronic pain.
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:55.519
And then this month is anxiety, stress, and sleep because they tend to be all much wash together.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:04.799
And next, I think fear and fear and phobia is a natural one to do, actually.
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:05.599
Yeah.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.520
Like you said, that do you see many people for fear?
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.039
I do actually.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:22.319
I've got to tell you about I've just had a consultation with a young boy who has a fear of people sneezing.
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.960
Does he think he'll catch it or he just doesn't like the noise?
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.159
We're not quite sure.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.280
We've not got there yet, but he doesn't like it.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:32.879
He's seven.
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.319
He gets very, very run around running around the room and leave or scream at them, or what happens?
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:53.520
I well initially, when I got the inquiry from mum, I initially thought, oh, and if it's COVID related, but he was a baby during COVID, so he, you know, he doesn't he doesn't remember COVID at all.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.960
But you don't have to remember something to be frightened of it.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.319
No, you don't.
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.280
But he he has this really bad, intense.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.919
That's all I how I how I can explain it, intense fear of sneezing.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.360
And I said to him, what happens if somebody sneezes at school?
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.599
What happens if somebody sneezes at home?
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:24.000
So mum said, Well, if we want to sneeze, we have to go out the room, to go out the room and hold it as much as it's very hard to make it worse, yeah.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:39.759
And if anybody sneezes at school, especially in this weather now, then he really does have these overwhelming behaviors where he he has to leave the class.
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.400
So he sneeze himself.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:47.599
Has he had allergies?
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.120
No, he doesn't know, very, very rarely sneeze sneezes himself.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:03.840
I think it it goes deeper than that as well because he actually said that it's not just sneezing, it's actually other bodily functions that he doesn't like as well.
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:04.879
Oh dear.
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:05.759
Yeah.
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.599
So we will look forward to hearing more about this young man in your final.
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.120
Yeah, we'll see.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.280
So I think you're starting to see him.
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.879
Uh I'm not quite sure yet.
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.680
We're just waiting for mum to get back with some dates.
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.240
But I have I have offered them two sort of packages.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:35.759
One is hypnosis in an indirect way because he's a child, and the other one is hypnosis with my version of sleep talk, which is rest and reset.
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.839
So yeah, that would be a good way, really.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.519
Yeah, I think I think it would be a good thing.
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.439
I think it really works for him.
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.000
Yeah.
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.480
Does he want it to work?
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.759
Does he feel like this is my thing, leave me alone?
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.040
Or is it no?
00:04:51.199 --> 00:05:02.319
He does he does want to change, but this is the delay in whether he's coming back or not, because he's not quite sure whether he wants me to help him.
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:09.040
So I've just said I've just done a video, sent it to Mum, and it the video is for him, and we'll just have to see.
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.360
Just sit there and good luck.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.040
He's uh he's very reluctant, he's very scared of change as well.
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.120
So that doesn't help, but we'll just have to see.
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.959
Does he like school?
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.800
He does, he enjoys school, yeah.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.920
He's he's a he's a good he's a good achiever, high achiever.
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.720
Do you know whether he developed this before he started school?
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.560
How long has it been a problem?
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.920
Since he's been to school.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.040
It's only it's been about 18 months, two years.
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.720
So it's before, it's after he's he's been to school.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:51.279
He he went to what's called reception, not reception, he went to nursery, then reception, then I think he's year two months, something like that.
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.519
So we'll just have to see what happens.
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:01.759
Mum knows you know what I'm capable of doing, and it I I came highly recommended by somebody else, so we'll just have to see.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.759
Yeah, well, good luck.
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:04.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.480
But we do get some weird and wonderful ones, don't we?
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.439
You know, and I think I think they they're nice because they they challenge us, don't they?
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:24.480
And and yeah, I think the other thing is while we're while we're smiling about this little boy who doesn't like to think to remind people that we will not laugh at whatever your thing is.
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:32.480
It we know that these aren't these aren't trivial to the people who are suffering from definitely, definitely not.
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:39.279
You know, it's it's just that when when you're in when you're doing this line of work, it's just nice.
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:50.240
It sounds awful, this, but it's it's to me, in my opinion, it's nice to have something different, and it's nice to s um to be challenged, really, isn't it?
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.360
Yeah, rather than just the well, good luck with him, hopefully.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.040
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.319
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.279
So this is a busy, yeah.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.560
I will, I will.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.160
So are you busy?
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.319
Is it because kids are out of school now?
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:07.519
No, they don't finish yet.
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.240
I think it's 22nd July, they finished.
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.160
Right, but it's just getting things set up for the during the holiday.
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:28.000
Well, I'm I'm running well bit well-being classes for the children, but I'm only I'm running them for four weeks, but I'm only running them on a Monday and a Wednesday mornings.
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:38.480
That's all I'm doing because for the past couple of years, when I've been running them for the likes of our local council, they've really taken over my whole summer.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.399
So I'm just gonna run them for summer as well.
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:54.879
90 minutes a day for four weeks on a Monday and on a Wednesday, and they will get a booklet, they will get all kinds of stuff, and there's lots and lots of crafting and activities to do as well.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:55.759
So that's nice.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.680
Oh, what's the age spread?
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.240
Six to twelve.
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.600
I'll accept a five-year-old, but I'll also accept a 13-14-year-old, but yeah.
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.920
You probably wouldn't want to be in with a bunch of little kids.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.040
Exactly.
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:18.000
So I'm I'm just I'd just leave it open for uh for parents, you know, at parents' discretion.
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:31.600
Um listen, for those things that are those things that work for groups, like weight loss, which is a good thing, because everybody in the world has complained about their weight in the one direction or the other.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.759
So it's not people aren't shy to talk about that it no, no.
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.399
You know, and and so I think groups are much easier for people to deal with in that.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.440
And we're also been sort of social socially acceptable, weight watches not for the rest of it.
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.799
So people aren't surprised to say you have group programs.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.639
Yeah, I mean the very they are very small groups, they're only eight.
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.399
The the maximum eight I'm gonna have here, but because eight children, I think that'll that'll be enough.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:06.399
These are in person though, these are a face-to-face, so I don't want more than eight children here at a time.
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.639
I just think it's gonna be bedlam, but it's gonna be fun, so I really like it.
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:12.000
So that's what I do.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:13.519
Sorry?
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.759
Seating in the new place.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.600
Yes, we'll have it there.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.320
Yeah, there's lots of seats.
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:29.919
Yeah, but also we've got room away from it at the front of it to put the gazebo, so the gazebo can go as well.
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:36.960
So we've got plenty, we've got plenty of room, lots and lots of chairs, got big long tables, so it'll it'll be it'll be good.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:37.600
Okay.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:45.840
What when you have a client come to you who says, I've had backache for the last 20 years.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.919
Other than saying earlier, what's the first thing that you ask them?
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.320
If they've been to the doctors, actually, and what the doctor has said Well, yeah, 20 years they're better off.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:09.519
Yeah, and I would yeah, and I would be asking them for I would actually want to write to the doctor to see you know why they've still got this pain.
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.399
So and go from there, really.
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.960
So find out what else they've done because it's a lot of things.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:28.000
I've actually got a a lovely lady who's coming to see me for pain, but the pain that she's struggling with is from some road traffic accidents.
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.960
So it's like an old pain, really.
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.720
Did she get seriously hurt in the accident?
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.159
Or uh just the residual tension thing.
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:51.440
Yeah, she she's got she she's had a few issues with the back and a few issues with the legs and everything, but now years after it's a combination of everything that's accumulated.
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.600
So she's not being older.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:59.600
Yeah, she's got clearance from a doctor, so uh she's uh she's good to go if you get me.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.039
So that that will be nice.
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.759
Do you get referrals from doctors?
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:14.159
I don't get any Do you think even people who've had patients of theirs go through whatever you've done with them and it's worked?
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.080
You don't even get it, it doesn't occur to them to say no.
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:25.279
I've challenged this with a few doctors because every every client that comes through, I will ask them, can I write to their doctor?
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.919
And it's on my intake form, either yes or no.
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:29.679
And I explain what it's for.
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:40.159
It's not to give the doctor war and peace over what's happened, it's just to explain that hypnosis or hypnotherapy can be used for blah blah blah.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.879
You know, I've asked a few GPs and get some tips if they've got something else they've got about.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:12:05.519
Yeah, but I've asked a few GPs why they can't why they won't refer my own GP as well, and their excuses, and I'm sorry, I'm using that terminology excuses, because I do think they are excuses, is we don't know you, so we can't recommend you.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.759
So I I go back and I say yes, but I'm registered.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.000
How many of the surgeons that you send people to?
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:12.720
Exactly.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:13.600
Do you know?
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:26.320
Well, my argument with one of the local GPs was well, you refer to a private podiatrist and a private chiropractor.
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.960
Why can't you refer to me?
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.039
And he he couldn't answer.
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.519
I still still write to them.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.279
I've had one person.
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.159
It is it is have that sort of woo-woo that we've got remaining.
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.240
I've had one person again.
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:49.519
Sorry, sorry, stage hypnotists, but really you have given us an awful lot of pain over the years.
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:55.120
I've had one person who the the lady that came for me that's come for the pain.
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.919
She actually was told by her GP to find a hypnotherapist.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.840
She asked a GP.
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.200
Yeah, she asked Have you written to said GP and thanked him?
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.440
Not yet, I've not finished with it yet.
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:16.240
So I she did say, well, what hypnotherapist, and he said, I can't recommend anybody.
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.559
So that will be going in my letter.
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:25.440
That will be going in my letter, and it's just it can be done, it can be done.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.200
You know, the the all they need to do.
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:36.480
I'm lucky my my general my general doctor and sent me four people.
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.240
It's mostly it's weight.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:51.440
They get so you get pigeonholes, oh you do weight, oh you do dog bites, oh you do you know, it's it's uh it works for anything it might be going on in your mind.
00:13:51.919 --> 00:14:03.759
What they what they could do is they could say, well, listen, here is a hypnotherapist that I know some of my patients have been to see her.
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.480
I can't recommend it, but all I can say is that the results have come back.
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:12.799
I can't hear the dog.
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.080
Can you not have it right?
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.960
I I just think it's just I don't know.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:45.679
Sorry, you keep talking while I I just think it's unfair, really, that they can refer to for somebody to go to for counseling, they can refer to chiropractors to podiatrics, but they they not only that, but it's I mean, not all, but a large number of chiropractics are sort of anti-traditional medicine.
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.600
And we definitely aren't.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.240
We think it's supposed to be together.
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.960
But yeah, it's just it just seems it just seems slightly unfair.
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.120
But hey-ho, that's the beauty of it.
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:09.360
And it what I all I can do is just to keep sending the letters through once that my clients have finished their uh sessions with me, and just hope that one day my husband's just taking the dog in.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:16.000
And hopefully, you know, one day, you know, somewhere some GPs will recognise it.
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:30.559
But it in Australia, one of our friends who was in the growth club with us, Nina, Nina has referrals every single week from GPs, not just one GP, quite a few GPs.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.200
Do you know how she reached out to the GPs to start?
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:40.159
No, I I'll uh no, I'll have to speak to Sheila about it because Sheila knows, Sheila was involved, yeah.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.879
She would be a good person to have on the call.
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:47.919
Because honestly, most of the people that listen to us were already getting the pissed.
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.120
Yeah, but yeah, so Nina, Nina is uh she's a hypnotherapist.
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.519
She she was in our uh growth club.
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.000
I don't think I don't know if she's still in.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:06.639
She just started sending things out to the GPs, and then Sheila Granger got involved and and it just escalated from there.
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.919
And she's doing she's doing absolutely fantastic now.
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.080
I think one day something something's got to give, hasn't it?
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:22.000
Because the state of it at the moment, the state of you know, the mental health and and also you know the GPs.
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:36.639
I don't know what yours is like over in the USA, but our GPs since COVID, there's something strange going on with RGPs, you know, because you can't book an appointment.
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:42.960
You have to ring up at eight o'clock on the morning and see if they can take you that day.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.840
You can't book you can't make an appointment for next week.
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:47.519
No, you can't, you can't do it.
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:53.120
And I because I said, Well, I'm self-employed, I've got, you know, I've got clients to see.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.799
I can't just drop them to come and see the doctor.
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.320
No, no, you can't.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.799
We don't, they're not taking any appointments.
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:18.960
And the the medical centre where my GP is, I used to work there as well in the medical centre when I did speech and language, and it used to be packed, it was thriving, it's such a busy, busy, there's a big waiting area, you know, in the atrium at the bottom.
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.880
Now you go in, there's no hardly anybody there, and you just think, well, what are the GPs doing now?
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:28.000
Yeah, I don't know.
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:37.039
Because my my I I know they had you know, you have a Wednesdays usually were closed, they were doing office work or playing golf.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.440
Fair enough when you work in the weekends.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.720
Yeah, fair enough.
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.359
But you know, it's just strange.
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:51.759
But the the big my biggest thing that drives me bonkers is they'll insist on me making an appointment I go, I see them twice a year, basically.
00:17:52.319 --> 00:18:00.640
One is a a more intense, this is the annual physical, and you set that up, and then why you set something else up for six months from now.
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.440
Well, I don't know if we're gonna be in the same state six months from now.
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:05.200
I'm sure we can set one up.
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.559
And then a couple of months along, I'll get a message.
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.920
Well, the doctor's away that week, can you make another appointment?
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.240
But then, of course, all the other appointments, two months outside of that, are taken up with people having made appointments really.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:33.200
Well, they this happened, this happened through COVID because I don't know, I don't I do I still don't understand what's happened, but it's not just local here, it's nationwide, it's right across England.
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:45.200
I I I assume it's right across Scotland and and Wales as well and Northern Ireland, but it's you can't get an appointment unless you phone up and you sit there and you're in a queue.
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.000
Which really means if you're gonna go that day, cancel everything else, it's because you're actually physically sick right now.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.400
Not the all the stuff we're supposed to go to the doctor to prevent the issues.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:57.680
Yes, yes.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:10.480
So my daughter, she's had a really bad infection where she she's had uh a temperature, a very, very high temperature, 39 point something, very high.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:18.400
Um, and so she phoned our GP up, and the GP sent her to the walk-in centre.
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.440
So it doesn't matter whether it was contagious, it didn't matter to the GP.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:29.680
It was a case of, well, you need to go to the either to A E or you need to go to the walk-in centre.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:36.880
So she went to the walk-in centre, she's been given antibiotics because she's they said she's got an infection.
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.759
She's only it's over a week now.
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.039
She's only yesterday started to feel better.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:48.880
So she's phoned the doctor to make an appointment to see her own GP.
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:50.000
Nope.
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.279
So she could she's Saturday, which is tomorrow.
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:58.480
That's the whole point of the GP service to have somebody who knows you and you know them.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:03.759
Yeah, so Saturday she's going to see an out-of-hours GP somewhere else.
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.279
So I just wonder if anybody, and if any GPs, local GPs or British GPs come across this, answer the question.
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.960
I'd like to know what on earth has happened.
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:25.359
Why have we gone from where you could ring up and make an appointment for say next Thursday for something?
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.319
Well, if that's yeah, holidays, you know.
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.759
I do I need rabies shots to go to XYZ country.
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.279
Those those things you need to well now what you do is you you would you would see the nurse practitioner.
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.759
You wouldn't see, I couldn't tell you the last time.
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.839
I don't go to the doctors that often, but I couldn't tell you the last time I saw my doctor.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:49.119
So most of the officers now have nurse practitioners running interference as well.
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.720
I should think so, yeah.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:21:00.720
And I do understand that they don't want the people who you know just uh make an appointment every single week to see the doctor and they go in.
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.839
I I understand, I totally understand that.
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:11.759
But for people who, like my daughter, who wasn't well, yeah, and she couldn't she couldn't go.
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.519
I don't understand.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.759
So if anybody's out there and they can explain it, that would be absolutely fantastic.
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:19.279
Strange, isn't it?
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:21.920
Poke around my doctor groups and see if I can find the break.
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:29.039
It would be would be really interesting to find out, and this happened after COVID.
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:34.799
This happened through lockdown, which of course nobody could go to the doctors, which is understandable.
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:41.200
But once lockdown was lifted, this is how it's been since then.
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:42.079
Yeah.
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:54.559
My father, who was very typically himself, uh, he was always annoyed to find out that he could tell because he could see her car that the doctor was in on a Wednesday afternoon.
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:55.920
She's doing paperwork.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.640
You have no idea how much paperwork there is.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:23:25.920
imagine yeah but it's it's I don't know but yeah we'll I'm sure somebody will explain it to to us one day but it it's just the same with the same with our um with the the dental the dental surgeries nobody could get in to see any dentists if you weren't registered with a dentist you couldn't get in and that's a lot of private yeah I don't know what happened haven't a clue but anyhow it it is what it is I've got to tell you something though Denise what I've been doing so yes I you know how last year I launched my book Nomi's Big Book of Phoenix I have been recording the audio version I know I know so I have to change my voice in order to do Nomi's voice at first I thought shall I get a voice changer you know find an app with a voice voice changer and I thought well that's cheating a little bit isn't it so so what I've done is I have a picture of a four year acting classes I have a I have a a picture that I've downloaded from Google of a four year old child and when I'm talking to the child when I'm doing no me's voice I put the photograph up on my laptop so that I can change my voice so as if I'm talking to a four year old and not talking to an adult.
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:43.440
When do you can't wait to get to the adult section and then I can just talk myself I'm only in I've only done a couple of recordings so I'm just gonna and so you're releasing it through the same company did it release no no I'm just gonna I'm gonna put it on my website and people can download it from my website.
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:51.119
So I'm gonna do the ebook event it will also appear here at the bottom of the it will once people put it actually up online.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:24:22.799
But it it's been good fun actually it's been really good fun it's anything that takes you out your comfort zone it's great isn't it you know and I've all have to do now and again and I've been do I've been doing videos all week as well talking to to parents you know our videos so that was uh I think they'll be sick of me I've just got two more days to go I'm doing a seven day video campaign so but it's good fun though isn't it yeah so what's what's in store for you what what are you doing over the summer?
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:46.640
Uh we're hoping to go away one of the the son that lives in Flagstaff he's been there for four years he has uh got a bump up title wise uh he's moving to Ohio that will be happening in the next few weeks or probably be and that's only about six and a half hour drive from us which is hugely different it's a little over a hundred miles whereas he's 2,000 miles from us right now.
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:59.759
So so they're uh they're both you know grew up in Jersey so we'll be able to see um and her parents will be able to visit and you know he he'll be able to come here for a long weekend.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:23.279
Yeah without an airplane being involved I'm trying to think yeah um we're going we're hoping to go to Oregon next June May June so we're gonna fly to Portland and I think we're gonna drive from Portland to Eugene because I think it's only about two two and a half hours so we're gonna do that.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.680
So we've been looking at flights and everything.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:26:15.440
So you're you're quite far you're on the opposite side Messer side yeah yeah you're not gonna come across about three three thousand miles to come and say hi probably not gonna happen well you may you're welcome if you get yeah if you get detoured by the planes you're welcome yeah so yeah so we've we've been we've been looking at flights I think we have to fly from Manchester to Iceland to Reykjavik and then Reykjavik to Portland and then we could do Portland to Eugene but I think there's a two and a half three hour delay so we might as well yeah or there's a shuffle because I believe there's a shuffle that we can take so we're open to anything so we're we're gonna have a proper look leave it till after Christmas and then have a proper look and um this is a cousin or a it's my I've got two cousins in in eugene but I've got an auntie and an uncle in Eugene as well.
00:26:15.599 --> 00:27:17.519
My dad's my dad's younger brother well youngest brother he's he's there so they came they come over every couple of years so they they came over last year so they've invited us over so we thought you know what let's do it let's go yeah well that's the same when we go to we only go once because of the who hear's going on over here but Phoenix is the largest city near him at the moment Flagstaff is about two hours away up a mountain so they they fly themselves in and out of Phoenix uh in and out of Flagstaff but most people yeah it's cheaper to go to Phoenix as well you can either get a bus there's lots of buses that'd be good or yeah driving for two hours is nothing in America I I believe so right I believe so so that's I think that's why not so much on the east coast where I am but it'd be nice it'd be nice to see I've never but that's next year you're talking about next year.
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:51.599
Yeah it's next year you absolutely have to yeah I've never I've never done it I actually when I was 16 15 16 probably might have been a little bit older my parents offered me to go with them to it was when my uncle and auntie lived in San Jose and they offered me to come over with them and I went oh don't going on holiday with my parents so I know my God did you go to see a therapist about that because I know turn something down like that.
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.920
Do you know where I went?
00:27:54.079 --> 00:28:17.839
I went to Salu in Spain instead with my friends and and yes I really enjoyed it but the difference in going on vacation with your parents going on vacation with friends yes okay it's only it's only when when I've got older and I've thought what did I do that for this is my opportunity to come over well let's hope America's still here where you come because things are pretty awkward.
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.240
None of my sisters are coming in sources over.
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:45.440
Well that's that's what I mean we we're gonna have to play it by ear and see what happens first aren't we you know fingers crossed you never know do you so all right so we've devolved again to our usual thing where we kind of forget when we're talking to an audience we have that audience it would be really helpful and probably saving grace for you if you tell us what you'd like us to talk to you about.
00:28:46.000 --> 00:29:05.200
Yeah also let us know about the GPs as well in in the UK and see what's going on but yes please let us know anything and we can uh we can always add it in can't we and it doesn't really it it does have to be therapy based really doesn't it but it doesn't necessarily have to be the same things.
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.319
And therapy doesn't mean it's necessarily a medical issue.
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:19.839
No yeah I I don't want to go dancing with my husband might be worth therapy but it's not obviously going to be something heavy.
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:41.359
It's 90 degrees here so I've got a pan in front relax I'm gonna get some iced tea I'm going to cook now I'm going to cook uh dinner so I know I know perfect weather for pizza somebody else can bring your really cooked food that's a good idea that's a good idea yeah do you have that many pizza shelves in England?
