In October 2019, SanaMente Hypnotherapy enlisted people, who wanted to drop a dress size before Christmas, to their Slim for Santa Programme. The aim was to help people achieve their goals and raise some money for Charity. It was a great success and due to its popularity continued into 2020. Our Clinical Hypnotherapist Clare can…
What is a lighthouse? The dictionary says “a lighthouse is a building with a warning light that helps boats to navigate safely, especially when it’s dark or foggy”. So what has that got to do with me and hypnotherapy? Let me introduce myself. I am Clare Copping and I’ve been working with SanaMente Hypnotherapy since…
As Covid 19 and the restrictions on our lifestyle take hold, the likelihood is that the levels of anxiety, stress and worry will increase. In ordinary circumstances, the feeling of being anxious and worried can be isolating, people can feel lonely and disconnected from their families, friends and social networks. My worry is that enforced…
The festive period arrived, as usual without much warning, leaving us no time to plan or pace ourselves. We rushed to shop, wrap, decorate, cook and entertain – my goodness it took a toll. Then as the New Year approached, we reflected on the old, decided what to leave behind in 2019 and made resolutions…
All these statements carry the same message – something isn’t going to happen. “I should try to get more exercise…” “I shouldn’t eat so much junk food…” “That shouldn’t be allowed to happen…” “They should make a law against it…” They are great ‘excuse’ sentences that allow integrity to be partially preserved without the inconvenience…
This is a simple Ego-tune exercise. Sit quietly and close your eyes, breathing steadily for a minute or two… then visualise your central core, the very centre of your entire body, running from the top of your head all the way down through past your navel… it can be like a precious metal, like a…
This time, we’ll begin with a look at an interesting and extraordinarily powerful word. BUT… :..is one of the most powerful words in the English Language.

How many times might you have thought – even said – I shouldn’t feel like this? Most people do, at some point or another. And yet it is a totally invalid statement – if you ‘shouldn’t’ feel like that, then you wouldn’t. Feelings are always there for a reason and we can gain a lot…
If you want to achieve your wishes and desires, it’s important that you learn how to think in terms of what it is that you want, rather than what you DO NOT want. Yes, an understanding of what you don’t want to happen will help you avoid pitfalls from time to time, but it will…
If Life’s a Journey, do you know where you’re heading? Sounds a bit twee and definitely overused but like it or not life IS a journey. And from the minute we’re born we are in pursuit of happiness. Looking for happiness is a basic human motivation. Did you know we are born with two basic…
So says the old proverb. There are many things wrong with that concept, not the least of which is that you can spend ages TRYING to do something. The very concept of TRYING to do something suggests that it is difficult to achieve and that it is something that you might fail at. It actually…
Lack of acceptance causes pain, of that there can be no doubt. There’s that prayer about changing those things that can be changed, accepting those things which cannot be changed, and having the wisdom to know the difference. An important piece of acceptance is that something that has happened can never be UNhappened. Without such…
