Evidence-Based Therapy & Common-Sense Psychology

The Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre has been providing a wide range of training and therapy since
2002. The great Psychiatrist and Hypnotherapist Milton H. Erickson MD used to say he based his
approach on common-sense psychology. He used to learn theories and different approaches but
when he worked with a client he would tailor his approach to the needs of the client in front of him
rather than try to fit the client to a theory.
Here at the Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre we aim to keep up to date with the latest research findings
in hypnosis and therapy as well as carry out research ourselves. This helps us to continue to offer
cutting edge training and personal development.
Why Should You Learn Hypnosis?
In 1999, the British Medical Journal published a Clinical Review of current medical research on
hypnotherapy concluding that there is good evidence from randomised controlled trials that
Hypnotherapy can reduce anxiety and help with managing stress, Hypnotherapy can be effective in
the treatment of panic disorders and insomnia, especially when combined with cognitive therapy,
hypnosis enhances the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for conditions like phobias,
anxiety and obesity, randomised trials have shown hypnosis to be of value in the treatment of
asthma and irritable bowel syndrome, and there is strong evidence of hypnosis being effective for
cancer related anxiety, pain, nausea and vomiting, particularly in children.
In 2001 the British Psychological Society published a report (The Nature of Hypnosis) to summarise
current scientific research on hypnosis, concluding that Enough studies have now accumulated to
suggest that the inclusion of hypnotic procedures may be beneficial in the management and
treatment of a wide range of conditions and problems encountered in the practice of medicine,
psychiatry and psychotherapy.
The report covers research about the effectiveness of the use of hypnosis in the management of
acute and chronic pain, the alleviation of pain, discomfort and distress due to medical procedures,
dental procedures and childbirth, the effectiveness of self-hypnosis to significantly reduce general
anxiety, tension and stress, assisting in helping overcome insomnia, helping with the treatment of
psychosomatic conditions like tension headaches, migraines, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome,
warts and other skin complaints like psoriasis and hives, and significantly enhancing lasting outcomes
in weight reduction and weight management.
Hypnosis used in conjunction with other forms of therapy positively enhances the effectiveness of
those therapies. Unlike some other forms of therapy alone the use of hypnosis can reduce the
number of sessions clients require for treatment. When used with brief therapy models this
number of sessions can be reduced further still. Many problems may need just 1-3 sessions of
treatment, with an average maximum of around 6 sessions of treatment, compared to an average of
18-20 sessions for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or an average of 20-30 sessions for standard
counselling, or an average of 45-300 sessions for psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Why Should You Learn Humanistic Solution Focused Psychotherapy?

Follow up of clients from single sessions a year later had the same benefits as clients that had brief therapy and long-term therapyThere
is growing evidence that only a proportion of cases require longer term work, and as research develop it would seem that this proportion is
getting smaller

The Handbook of Counselling Psychology 2003

Solution-focused therapy is a strengths-based approach, emphasizing the resources people possess

and how these can be applied to the change process. The humanistic solution focused psychotherapy
element of the Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre diploma is the approach used by ALT Solutions that
offer humanistic solution focused coaching and consulting.
In some reviews comparing solution focused therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy and other
approaches they found that solution focused therapy is better and quicker at treating depression
and anxiety disorders, yet it matches or isnt quite as effective as other therapies in treating other
conditions. Solution focused therapy often takes significantly less sessions, normally an average of 35 sessions, compared to an average of 18-20 sessions for CBT, 20-30 sessions for standard
counselling and 45+ sessions for psycho-analytic therapies. By integrating a humanistic element into
the solution focused approach its effectiveness can be enhanced. The humanistic element is adding
focus to what it means to be human, it takes into account thinking styles, emotions, behaviour, social
interactions, basic innate needs, skills and patterns and life-long learning. The therapist uses an
overarching solution focused approach and within that approach takes into account humanistic
elements and uses cognitive, behavioural, interpersonal and motivational interviewing approaches
as well as approaches to access past patterns and learnings.
Aspects of the humanistic solution focused approach are developed from the highly effective human
givens approach (developed by Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell), the results on completed cases of human
givens therapy suggest clinical and reliable change with around 74% of clients in an average of less
than four treatment sessions.
Using a solution focused approach allows for the therapist to evidence-base their work as they can
establish where a client is in relation to their problem at the start of an intervention, what level of
success they would be happy to achieve and what success they actually achieve by the end of the
intervention and what level of success is maintained at follow up intervals.
The Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre and ALT Solutions approach leads to over 81% of clients
achieving or exceeding the desired level of success they stated they would be happy to achieve by
the end of the intervention. Almost all clients achieved progress or positive changes from humanistic
solution focused psychotherapy and at six months follow up over 97% of clients had maintained
progress and success. At three year follow up from using a humanistic solution focused approach
with parents of young people committing youth crime or at risk of committing youth crime 66% less
young people at risk of offending went on to commit youth crime compared with youth of parents
that met criteria for support but didnt receive support (89% of the youth with supported parents
didnt go on to offend), and 51% less young offenders went on to re-offend compared with young
offenders with unsupported parents (60% of the youth with supported parents didnt go on to reoffend), all the young offenders were supported by a youth justice officer. Average number of
humanistic solution focused sessions taken was six.

Why Should You Learn Ideo-Dynamic Psycho-Cellular Healing?

A growing area of research since the latter part of the 20th century has been into mind-body
interactions. Psycho-cellular healing isnt a mystical approach, or unscientific approach, it is based
on sound research. Much of this research is still in its infancy as much of it is being done with
technology that didnt exist ten or twenty years ago, and the technology that did exist was very
expensive or impractical to use.
In a 2009 interview with psychotherapy.net Dr Ernest Rossi stated:
[In the middle of the 90s] neuroscience found that experiences of novelty, enrichment, exercise,
both mental and physical, turn on activity-dependent gene expression, and that turns on brain
plasticity, modulates the immune system, and activates stem cells throughout the body. And we've
just completed a study, published last year for the first time; we used DNA microarrays to evaluate
therapeutic hypnosis in psychotherapy. For the first time, we've established that therapeutic
hypnosis in psychotherapy does change gene expression, specifically activity-dependent or
experience-dependent gene expression DNA microarrays are a new genomic technique of
measuring, in a single test with a few drops of blood (or other body fluids) all the genes that are
being expressed in a moment of time. Our Italian-American team was the first to use DNA
microarrays to determine a "molecular-genomic signature" (something like a genetic fingerprint) of
therapeutic hypnosis. Other researchers have also used DNA microarrays and found that meditation,
music, and Qi Gong can also turn on experience-dependent gene expressionPTSD also turns on
gene expression; we are now exploring which therapeutic techniques are most effective in turning
off the genes that are turned on by PTSD as well as other psychiatric diagnostic categories like
anxiety, depression, and so forthSo for the first time in our generation we're seeing the whole
connectionmind, thoughts, feelings. Excitement turns on our genes in our brain and our body and
immune system. Those genes make proteins, and in the brain, those proteins make new synaptic
connections, turn on stem cells, and create new neural networks, which now create new thoughts.
So we've got the complete circle. The Cartesian gap between mind and body no longer exists.
Ideo-Dynamic Psycho-Cellular Healing consists of techniques and approaches designed specifically
to access this gene-expression rather than get bogged down in the content of the problem. Often
therapist will focus on what do you think, feel, do, they often expect clients to consciously access all
of this information and for that information to be correct, when often it is just the clients opinions
or perception. By using ideo-dynamic techniques the client to be an observer with the therapist as
the clients inner-self does all the necessary work on the problem making changes to thought
processes, behavioural changes, interpersonal changes and biological changes. They can generate
new neural growth, changes within cells in the body, hormonal changes and a whole multitude of
other changes that the client wouldnt be able to make consciously and wouldnt know what changes
to make consciously.
Psycho-cellular healing takes into account and places importance on life processes like natural
biological rhythms, the process for memory formation and recall, brain plasticity, the interactions
between nerve cells, hormones, messenger molecules and DNA and the effects of life experiences
and social interactions on health and wellbeing.

Overview of Course Features

Here is an overview of some of the key course features:

Accreditation This diploma course is accredited by the General Hypnotherapy Standards

Council, allowing you access to membership within the General Hypnotherapy Register following
successful completion, which offers you benefits including access to professional liability
insurance and numerous other benefits.

Free Self-Hypnosis Mp3s On full diploma enrolment you will receive around 50 free selfhypnosis mp3s covering a range of problems that you may be faced with when you start in
private practice. These Mp3s allow you to hear and experience the use of various hypnotic skills
and techniques. You can use the tracks for yourself to develop your understanding from the
clients perspective what the experience of being hypnotised is like, or you can listen and analyse
the tracks to really delve into enhancing your knowledge and skills as a hypnotherapist.

Free Books On full diploma enrolment you will receive copies of Advanced Ericksonian
Hypnotherapy Scripts, Hypnosis For Beginners, and Learn Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy From
Beginner to Mastery.

Free Email Support for the Duration of The Training On full diploma enrolment you will receive
free email support for the duration of your training to support you as you integrate the
knowledge and skills you learn into your everyday life and therapeutic practice.

Experiential Training To ensure your learning experience is as effective as possible the training
is very experiential. You will be experiencing what you are learning about and you will be
practicing what you are learning about. The course isnt about just watching lectures it is about
having an experience that touches you and connects with you and helps you to take the learning
on as part of who you are rather than just something you can now do.

Free Mp3 Training Lectures To help you to embed the skills and knowledge that you are
learning you will receive free mp3 training lectures which you can listen to and absorb between
modules. These will also help over the first few months when you are newly practicing as a
Hypnotherapist and may want the occasional recap on aspects of what you have learnt.

Free On-going After Diploma Coaching & Support To ensure you have the best opportunities
at achieving what you want to achieve following completing the diploma you can receive free
Skype coaching and support sessions to discuss your plans, to discuss progress and to look at
what your next steps are. These sessions can help you to stay on track, to stay motivated and to
achieve your goals.

Observed Therapy Sessions One comment frequently mentioned by newly qualified therapists
is that they lack confidence to now go and do the therapy for real with genuine clients, they
often comment that they didnt feel they saw enough therapy being done as part of their
training, or that they did enough therapy as part of their training. Here students carry out
observed therapy sessions and receive feedback as well as watching therapy sessions both by the
instructors and by other students, it is important for students to feel confident that they can now
go out and be effective therapists before they reach the end of the course.

About The Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre

The Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre was founded in 2002 by Dan Jones to provide cost effective evidence-based,
common-sense therapy and training. Dan researched what therapy was available at the time in Sussex and
met with numerous therapists in full-time practice in the local area. What he discovered was that many of the
therapists were seeing clients for an average of 12-18 months, or they had very little training and so would
only see clients with minor difficulties and not clients with depression, OCD or anxiety problems.
Many of the therapists trained in Neuro-linguistic Programming were able to quickly help clients with problems
like phobias, confidence, and performance enhancement but didnt feel they had the training to work with
more significant issues. Many Hypnotherapists would work with smokers, weight loss and sleep problems but
most wouldnt work with other issues they saw as deep-rooted. The therapists that were working with more
significant issues were often psycho-dynamically trained and would offer long term therapy and clients often
had to learn the language of the therapeutic approach to get benefit from the therapy. Therapy usually also
lasted a year or more of weekly sessions. There also appeared to be very few therapists working in an
evidence-based way.
Before Dan set up the Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre he was running courses on stress management,
communication skills, conflict resolution and behaviour management with professionals and anger
management, communication skills and stress management with young people.
Once the Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre was founded Dan started holding group therapy for phobia removal,
stress management and smoking cessation. He also began holding self-hypnosis workshops, communication
skills workshops, hypnosis workshops and solution focused workshops. By 2005 training videos, audio courses
and demonstration and self-help videos and audio tracks were made available for download online, and in
2007 hypnosis and therapy courses were held as live events and streamed live and interactive via the internet.
2007 also saw the development of the first Sussex Hypnotherapy Centre Diploma.

About The Founder

Dan Jones used to work in mental health with adults with difficulties like Schizophrenia, Manic Depression and
severe OCD and used to apply unusual and effective strategies for rapid change. Dan also worked with young
people with extreme challenging behaviour and helped to set up a therapeutic childrens home before moving
onto working more intensively with parents and families to reduce and prevent youth offending and anti-social
behaviour where he evidenced the use of a Humanistic Solution Focused Approach to parenting support to
reduce youth crime and anti-social behaviour. As well as working with people, doing therapy and training, Dan
has also written about ten books on therapy, psychological topics and wellbeing, created dozens of self-help
and training products, and been involved in research projects and TV programmes and holds many talks and
events throughout the UK and abroad.
Dan has around 20 years experience with a variety of hypnotic approaches and around 10 years experience
with Solution Focused Therapy and various other therapies and disciplines including mindfulness, meditation,
EFT, and NLP. Dans therapeutic training has covered areas including solution focused therapy, cognitive
behavioural therapy approaches, psycho-dynamic therapy approaches, neuro-linguistic programming,
motivational interviewing, transactional analysis, human givens approach, systemic family therapy, and
Ericksonian psychotherapy.
