Your own personalised Hypnotic Journaling Mentoring programme!

So you’ve read my book, Hypnotic Journaling, but you’re not sure whether you’re on the right track?

Maybe your five day writing journey has raised more questions than answers? (This is usually a very strong indication that your writing has thrown up something significant and important for you.)

Maybe you’re just not quite sure how to get started and you need a little support and encouragement?

If so, my Hypnotic Journaling Personal Mentoring Programme might be just what you need to help you to move forwards.

This is how it works.

Hypnotic Journaling Personal Mentoring Programme by phone and/or email

• You click the button below and buy your Personal Mentoring sessions.

• I email you some simple questions for you to fill in, telling me a little more about you, what is happening in your life and what it is that you’d like to use your journal to work on. We arrange a date and time for your first mentoring session by phone or email and you email me three samples from your journal.

• I provide you with feedback and suggestions by email or by phone - whichever you prefer - and set you some journaling exercises designed specifically for you.

We will work together for a minimum of three sessions. I say three sessions because I believe that this is the minimum required to give us the opportunity to do some meaningful work. You can space those three sessions weekly, every couple of weeks or monthly -  whatever works best for you - but three sessions is the minimum number of sessions that we need to work together to achieve meaningful change.

Buy your personal programme of three Hypnotic Journaling mentoring sessions now and I’ll throw in a copy of the Hypnotic Journaling eBook for free!

That way, you can get started by reading the book and working through the five-day programme, knowing that you’ll have my support and guidance on-hand as you do.

If you’ve already enjoyed Hypnotic Journaling and now want some feedback on specific issues or if you simply want to explore writing and journaling techniques in greater depth without making the commitment to a more time-specific structured online programme of study, then these Personal Mentoring sessions will take you wherever you’d like to go next.

If you are interested in using writing to explore your own personal themes or you are an educator, therapist or health professional who wants to find out more about using writing in your work,  this is the course for you.

Hypnotic Journaling - the book

Learn powerful creative journaling techniques that will help you to explore yourself and your feelings…in just five days.

Do you want to let go of old habits and limited patterns of thinking?

Do you have stuff that keeps going round and round in your head, old stories that you’ve been telling yourself for years now that it would be really good to let go of?

This book will help you to do just that.

If you’ve already discovered the secrets of self-hypnosis as a powerful tool for personal transformation, but you’re always on the look out for new techniques, then this is the book for you.

If you love to write but never quite know how to begin, this book will get you in the flow of your words.

If there’s an issue or situation that you feel you’d like to work through, privately, in your own time, then you can start that process right now, even if it’s the middle of the night, by downloading Hypnotic Journaling.

Other reasons to read Hypnotic Journaling:

• Maybe you’ve always wanted to keep a journal but don’t know where to start?

• Maybe you’re a dedicated journaler looking for new techniques that will transform your journal from somewhere to write down what you know to somewhere that can help you to discover what you don’t yet know?

• And if you are looking for new ways to explore your self and your feelings, to let go, have fun, play with a few ideas and begin to create something new in your life, this book will help you to do that… in just five days.

Maybe, like many of the people who have benefited from my Hypnotic Journaling techniques, you feel anxious about writing things down.

• You tell yourself that it’s because your mum found your journal in your sock drawer when you were fifteen.

• You tell yourself that you’ll get round to it one day.

• You tell yourself that there’s no point starting a journal, even though you’d really like to, because you’d have to write in it every day and you just don’t have the time for that kind of stuff.

Hypnotic Journaling will change your mind about all that. The techniques are so simple and easy to learn and use that, once you have begun to use them, you probably won’t be able to stop!

When I write, I love that trance-like state I find myself in. When I write about hypnosis, well, the state just seems to deepen… How wonderful to encounter a way of using that state while writing and stepping into that wonderful world with conscious awareness! Sophie Nicholls shows you how to do that here, and I love how she does it. Read this refreshing ebook, follow the words and try to stay out of those deep trances long enough to know how to journal usefully when you do go there. Brilliant! Adam Eason,  author of ‘The Secrets of Self-Hypnosis.’ Leading trainer, author and consultant in hypnosis and personal development.

Hypnotic Journaling will show you writing strategies and techniques that will help you to:

• Let go of self-concepts and habits that are keeping you ‘stuck’ in the same old patterns of thinking.

• Really look at your life and the world with fresh eyes.

• Reconnect with your deepest thoughts and feelings.

• (Re)discover aspects of yourself that you thought you’d lost.

• Become more aware of the movements of your thoughts, ideas and emotions.

• Learn how to use the page as your own personal development coach.

• Integrate a powerful practice of self-exploration and transformation into your everyday life.

A page written about me… by me?

Isn’t this the page that I’m supposed to write in the third-person… about myself…pretending that it isn’t really me writing these words but my agent/PR person/copy-writer/etc?

Well, I’m not going to do that here.

Because I am a writer. And because I am passionate about the process of writing. I believe that everyone has something important to say and that getting your feelings into words on the page is always an adventure in self-discovery.

So as I write this, perhaps I’ll also find out something new about me. In fact, I’m certain I will.

There’s the obvious stuff. For example, I’m Sophie Nicholls. I’m an author, poet, hypnotherapist and researcher in the field of creative writing and personal development.

But then there’s the less obvious stuff. Such as how these activities, experiences and findings have all come together here in the words that you’re now reading about Hypnotic Journaling.

You know, even now, I still get excited at the ways in which my different activities and interests - writing, hypnosis, mindfulness, the work I do as a therapist, the seminars and courses that I design and run - continue to come together in new and surprising ways.

I have taught my Hypnotic Journaling techniques to people in business who feel stressed out, unhappy or that they have lost touch with a vital part of themselves; people who have suffered pain and trauma, including survivors of imprisonment and political torture; people living with long-term illness and their relatives; university students; and, of course, my private clients.

I am still researching these ideas, drawing upon concepts from cognitive science, psychodynamic theory, consciousness studies and my own practical studies to find the best methods for helping people to achieve lasting change.

And I use these techniques every day in my own life. Yes, I really do.

And there it is. That’s the new thing about me that I’ve just discovered in the process of writing this web page. I really do need to write every day. I am 100% convinced by my own copy.

To be absolutely honest, I don’t have to swim or go to the gym everyday, although I know that it’s good for me. But I have to write. It’s that important.

Hypnotic Journaling is not a gimmick or a vague idea but an absolute conviction that I hold - based on daily experience. Writing can change your life. It can help you to be happier, more focused, more comfortable with yourself, to let-go of the past, to envision a new future, to play with ideas and possibilities, to become more aware of what you’re thinking and feeling and the words you usually use about yourself.

So welcome to this site. Have a look at the different ways that you can begin to learn and use Hypnotic Journaling today. And if you have any questions, please do email me at sophie@sophinicholls.com or call me on +44 781 260 6350.

I look forward to hearing from you.
