Video records

After my last entry, I have been asked about video recording. I can provide a DVD copy of sessions if you provide me with a signed permission to record. Copies will be provided at a nominal fee.

This can help both of us to monitor the ‘safe experiments’ being designed and, particularly important, to revisit the ‘safe experiments’ done in session.

Using MP3 players

Why not bring your MP3 player to a session?

Some clients want to practise particular tasks such as relaxation and creative visualisation. I am OK about sessions being recorded. Indeed, I may suggest it sometimes and I am able to video sessions. If you think it would help, you can ask for a copy.

In this blog I will answer queries that arise from sessions. Confidentiality will be protected. No personal details will be given. All comments and suggestions will be generalised.

Robin’s Blog: discussing issues

Sometimes clients ask me for copies for information sheets. This site is intended to give easy access to some of that information – for students and supervisees as well. On the left you will find the main index and ‘client info’ may have a triangle next to it.Pressing that triangle will fly out a much large list of printable handouts. Some will mean little unless they have been discussed in our meetings.

I have been asked how the controlled breathing exercises I recommend work so well. They seem suspiciously easy. Well, the changes I recommend, even though lasting just seconds, do return your autonomic nervous system to some balance. It is easy to get out of ‘sync’.The actions you take are not really ‘psychological’, they are physiological. Therefore, the change works for most people rather than a lot of people!
