 Script Questionaire |

This questionaire follows on from my 3 September 2008 posting about the Transactional Analysis concept of 'Scripts'.
The following questions are designed to give you some insight into the ‘scripts’ that may be operating in your life.
What kind of person are you?
What kind of person is your mother now? (if alive)
What kind of person was she before you were ten?
What kind of person is your father now? (if alive)
What kind of person was he before you were ten?
What was your mother’s favourite saying?
What was your father’s favourite saying?
How did your mother praise you?
For what?
How did your father praise you?
For what?
How did your mother punish/criticize you?
For what?
How did your father punish/criticize you?
For what?
What did your mother hope you would be/do?
What did your father hope you would be/do?
What were your favourite stories/nursery rhymes when you were young?
How old will you be when you die?
What would you write on your tombstone?
What would others write on your tombstone?
List up to 5 permissions your mother gave you as a child.
List up to 5 permissions your father gave you as a child.
List up to 5 injunctions/drivers your mother gave you as a child.
List up to 5 injunctions /drivers your father gave you as a child.
If you had 3 wishes, what or how would you change?
Working on your script can put you in touch with the messages that are operating in your present situation, help you to recognise the helpful and unhelpful ones and give you the opportunity to be more in control of your life.

I came accross this Buddhist Prayer again today and wanted to share it with you.
Quote : May all beings be well, safe and peaceful. May we be free from the suffering of fear, anger and ill will. May we find forgiveness for the harms we bring to one another. May we cultivate loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. May we live in peace and harmony.

Treatment
Research suggests that adding appropriate therapeutic interventions to medication in the treatment of depression and anxiety increases the success rate (in terms of relapse) from around 60% to something like 90%. However there is also evidence to suggest that the new skills and learnings are state-related so that it is preferable (but not essential) to treat clients who are either coming off their medication, or have not taken medication in the first place.
We know that depression can be highly responsive to good therapy treatment, often within about 12 sessions. Getting the symptom remissions is not the difficult part - medication alone can do that. The difficult part is in preventing relapses and teaching the person how to re-interpret life experiences in a way that isn’t depressing. Hypnotherapy does not address biological factors but it can be valuable in addressing social and environmental ones - relationship problems, cognitive distortions, faulty attributions and other depressogenic patterns. I look at how this person thinks, how they respond, how they gather and organise information, how they decide on a particular course of action and how they establish contact with, or ignore, different parts of themselves in different situations.
Hypnotherapy has a great advantage when working with depressed clients in that it offers an opportunity to intervene on multiple dimensions simultaneously - some in awareness, others not. It means the unconscious can be engaged in the therapy process more immediately, which may be less limiting than the treatment being restricted to conscious, insight-oriented approaches exclusively.
Hypnosis may be used superficially to soothe anxiety, interrupt negative rumination, increase responsiveness and establish positive expectancy. It may be used more intensively to facilitate flexibility in rigid, distorted patterns of thinking or interpreting events, reframe meanings attached to experience rooted in faulty belief systems and build positive frames of reference for responding to life from a more effective framework.

Stress, Anger, Anxiety & Depression
You may not immediately think these are linked but its surprising how often they are...
Clients who present to me directly (i.e. self-refer) are more likely (in my experience) to present with ‘stress’ or ‘anger issues’ and are often unaware that they may also be ‘depressed’. This is particularly common when the depression is linked to an anxiety state. I am not qualified make a diagnosis of the medical term ‘depression’ because technically only a medically qualified person can do that but it may not always be necessary. If I feel an accurate diagnosis is required, I refer the client to their G P.
Depression
Probably the most common presentation to me is when the potential client has already been diagnosed as ‘depressed’ by their G P and is unhappy about taking medication alone for a variety of reasons. I would generally expect to liaise with the Doctor concerned in these cases. However I do not have the resources or expertise to help clients with a serious suicidal risk or those for whom depression is not the primary diagnosis and who may suffer depression linked to a personality disorder.
More on the treatment options for these conditions to follow.... or please telephone my receptionist on 01278 784490 during normal office hours if you would like to make an appointment for a personal consultation. |

And last (but not least!)...
Use Self-Hypnosis
Self-hypnosis is the ultimate self-help tool. It’s versatile, safe, fast, simple, pleasant, effective, non-invasive and non-addictive. No wonder then that numerous well-known sportspeople have used it to enhance their performance, including boxers Frank Bruno, Steve Collins and Nigel Benn, former England cricket captain Mike Brearley, athlete Iwan Thomas and golfers Tiger Woods and Ian Woosnam. Olympic cyclist Levi Leipheimer credits a self-hypnosis audio CD as contributing to his success in winning the USA’s biggest race twice, achieving a third place in the Tour de France and a Bronze Medal at the Beijing Olympics.
I wrote my self-hypnosis audio CD, Self-hypnosis for Horse Riders to help you manage your horse riding experiences positively by better managing yourself and your emotions. It’s suitable for riders of all standards and disciplines; whether you need some help to get back in the saddle, be a ‘happy hacker’ or to find that competitive edge. The CD/MP3 download uses hypnosis to enhance and expand the techniques described previously by helping you to
1. access your creative ability to find solution to problems so that ideas, insights and constructive information become more readily available and
2. create an environment where you are able to accept positive and helpful suggestions without the restrictions ordinarily imposed by your conscious abilities and responses (as in “yeah but - it won’t work for me, I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to …….” for example!).
