Manchester CPD Programme

The beauty of body language is that you don’t have to learn it – it’s a natural skill that we are all born with. So if that’s the case, why attend a workshop? We can all ‘read’ other people and do so in every encounter, but how well do you do it? Maybe more importantly, what signals are you displaying for your client to ‘read’? Is your client genuinely pleased to see you? How would you know for sure? What professional image do you want to portray and how? This workshop uses research, real life examples and plenty of humour to empower you with knowledge and skills that you can use to increase your effectiveness at work, socially and within your own relationships. Join us to find out how easy it is to discover what every BODY is saying.

The session will address all learning objectives for the AHD module of neuroscience, providing evidence that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can effectively change the brain and mind functioning to bring positive changes in behaviour.

• Your brain is amazing! There has undoubtedly been huge steps forward in our understanding of how our brains work and this is in part due to the huge technical advances in brain scans.
• What is particularly exciting is how solution focused hypnotherapy dovetails comfortably with findings from research and how empirical findings support what is seen in everyday practice and CORP measurements.
• Understanding brain function is the first step towards solutions.
• Evidence will be provided to show that through relaxation, trance and positive suggestions, the brain’s activity can be manipulated by modulating neural plasticity.
• This sound understanding of the brain can enable the practitioner to fully relate clients’ experiences during the initial consultation.
