The Mind-Body Connection and the Changing Science of Change

In this webinar, you will discover the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience and somatic psychology and how they relate to therapists. We will explore the mind-body connection through the lens of the three brains—the head (cognition), heart (emotion), and gut (intuition)—and understand their role in shaping thoughts, behaviours, and healing.

Learn how cutting-edge research is transforming our understanding of change, and gain practical, science-backed tools to work more effectively with clients. Whether addressing trauma, stress, or personal transformation, these insights will help you harness the neurobiological keys to lasting change.

Join us for this engaging session that blends theory with actionable strategies you can integrate into your practice immediately.

Richard Hill discusses his webinar on the value of self discovery Vs the desire to be told

Presenter: Richard Hill

TOPIC: 'The desire to be told vs the value of self-discovery'

DURATION: Approx. 80 minutes

OPD: 3 points           COST: AU$20.00

Visit the ASCH Shop to access recording of richard's webinar: 
https://www.asch.com.au/asch-webinars

In this podcast, Richard introduces some of his webinar content in this conversation with George Owen.  in his webinar; 'The desire to be told Vs The value of self discovery', Richard invites us to enjoy a deeper conversation about therapeutic outcomes.  What interesting things are happening when therapy succeeds.  And, importantly, what interesting things are taking place when it doesn't.

Directive – Non-Directive – Co-Creative are three of the principle approaches that can be found in the vast array of methods and forms of hypnotherapy. What is the value and purpose of these approaches? How do they affect the language, form and structure of a therapy? What do clients want and what do they need, and is there a difference?

There are a lot of places where you can learn hypnosis, but it is not just about learning from different schools. The various schools can teach entirely different methods and forms, yet they are all called hypnosis and provide certificates of qualification. Is this a good thing? Is it correct, or at least true to the fundamentals of hypnosis?

I would like to suggest some thoughts and encourage a creative discussion about some of the inconsistencies in both the teaching and practice of hypnotherapy and hypnosis.

Constructive, productive, and even robust challenges to “the way things are” is how we create positive growth and development. Let us see what we can discover and what we might envision for the future!

Timeline Therapy for Trauma-bonded Women

I am the proud author of I See You, a book that tells the story of how hypnotherapy helped me break free from the cycle of abuse and find my true purpose in life. Within its pages, I share my journey and provide practical resources for individuals who feel trapped in abusive relationships. My mission is to empower others to begin their healing journey and reclaim their lives.

I am also a co-author of the book Empowered Women Empower Women. In my chapter, I delve into the cycle of abuse and how hypnotherapy and Timeline Therapy® became transformative tools in my recovery. These modalities helped me heal from deep-rooted trauma and uncover the strength and clarity I needed to create a new path. It was through this process that I discovered my purpose: to guide other women out of the darkness of abusive cycles and toward a life filled with freedom and self-worth.

Through my work, I’ve witnessed the profound impact of breaking free from abusive patterns, especially for women whose experiences often begin in childhood. Influenced by the relationships we observe and experience, many develop a distorted view of love, leading us to seek familiarity in unhealthy dynamics. By exploring the past, tools like Timeline Therapy® help identify and release the triggers that keep us stuck. This process allows women to uncover the root causes of their pain, let go of negative emotions tied to past experiences, and gain clarity and empowerment.

Watching women transform as they reclaim their strength, self-worth, and independence is an honour. Breaking the chains of generational abuse and stepping into their power is why I do what I do—it’s my passion and life’s work.

About Nicole Logis

Nicole Logis is a Sydney-based clinical hypnotherapist, life coach, Reiki Master, and the founder of Soulful Healing Hypnotherapy. She is the co-author of the book, Empowered Women Empower Women, and the author of the book, I See You, which explores the cycle of abuse and how hypnotherapy can help individuals heal and reclaim their lives.

Together with her business partner, Nicole has created a revolutionary Hypno-App, Limitless Minds Hypnotherapy, designed to help people around the world move through trauma and addictions. She is also a passionate advocate for survivors of domestic violence, dedicating her work to empowering others to break free from toxic cycles and find their strength.

The Science of Human Consciousness

In this webinar, Andrew Solomon will track the correlations between quantum science and the human mind that are fast coalescing in an (as yet) loosely-defined new field: the science of human consciousness. Through the field of epigenetics, this new science broadly focuses on emerging correlations between the thoughts and feelings circulating in both our mindset and our biophysical experience. As science has demonstrated, a simple ‘thought’ has a measurable mass. Brain waves conveying thoughts and feelings have a measurable energy charge and mass, and Einstein’s theory of relativity (E=MC²) logically extends to the relationship between Mind (Energy) and Mass also being equivalent and constant. This logically extends to the human psycho-emotional (‘Mind’), so that the intangible inter-play between Energy and material and physical experience can be thought of as ‘mind-energy.’

Could it be that the existential calling of this fundamental level of existence is the real meeting point between science and religion? Could it reflect a quantum level of intelligence? Could the human concept of ‘god’ in its myriad forms be the way that, at some deeply unconscious level, we sense and try to personify our interconnectedness with the creative intelligence of the quantum multiverse?

Interconnectedness is generally not our conscious human experience. Yet, we can examine the implications of this science in our own lives. Using the backdrop of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, we will explore what this science signals for our understanding of human consciousness and what it means for our perception of individual and collective experience.

Will we simply keep living the way we have become used to? Will we use it to expand into hitherto unexplored realms of human experience? Will we expand the theory and practice of psychotherapy and reach for new horizons of personal transformation? Will we use it not only to help fix that which seems broken, but to realise the fundamental level of our existence, where nothing is ever broken?
How do you streamline your business to improve financial management and create a powerful vision that drives your success?

Design your own hypnosis weight loss programme

In this webinar, Sheila looks at how we, as hypnotherapists, can tap into the weight loss market that is developing in today’s world, in particular the weight loss jab and how we can produce similar results with hypnosis by addressing the same things as the weight loss Jab. As hypnosis practitioners, we can develop a process that works in a similar way to the weight loss Jab and achieve similar results.

This is not just ‘think yourself slim’. It takes more to shift the weight. We know that every client we work with is different, and we take into account their life experiences, knowledge, and expectations to assist them with their weight loss and health needs. We use the client’s belief systems and body type to help them create a win.

Sheila will also look at how we use hypnosis ourselves, to develop our own weight loss, health and well-being hypnotic model, which educates on how hypnosis helps and how we can align it to all the new stories about the latest weight loss injection craze.

Educating people as to how we can show up as a potential stand-alone alternative solution or as an added layer of support in their weight loss journey assists clients in changing their mindset.

We invite you to bring along that one thing—chocolate, biscuits, hamburgers, a glass of wine—you want to consume less of. Bring it along and join in the group session that Sheila will include in her webinar. She will also demonstrate how to create feelings of fullness hypnotically.

Clients often come to hypnotherapy for something very particular, like smoking, or eating, or phobia, or confidence, which is always a good place to start. But so often there is something much more important and sometimes much more difficult lurking below. Mirroring Hands is one of the best ways to allow the client to reveal what is happening within and to bring it forward so that you can both work towards an effective change.

Bring your questions and, if you would like, your cases from which we can learn and teach each other.
