Our regular Hypnosis in the news section is replaced this time around with a commentary piece recorded by UK Hypnosis Convention founder and friend of the show, Nick Ebdon, entitled ‘Keeping a Good Profession Down’.

The discussion of the week with Dr Birgit Zottmann examines the application of mindfulness within a hypnotherapists client work and includes some simple and illuminating exercises to engage in while you listen.

The factoid of the week manages to have a Valentine’s theme in that it relates to Heart Rate Variability and hypnosis.
