Lectures about self-growth and evolvement:

1. Who am I?- How to understand my personality better

Our personality is made up of different parts. Some of these are resourceful and some can sabotage our growth.

Understanding the parts of your personality and each of their functions will empower you to amplify the desirable parts and shrink the maladaptive parts. Examples of resourceful parts are: your inner strength, your inner wisdom, your nurturer part, your friendly part… Examples of maladaptive parts are: instant gratification, the depressed part, the anxious part, the critical voice part, the peoples’ pleaser part, the insecure part, the perfectionist part, the OCD part… Participants leave this session with practical tools on how to strengthen their own and their significant others’ resourceful parts.

The session is followed (time permitting) by an optional hypnosis session for inner strength building (the entire audience is put into a hypnotic state together and they are welcome to record me. Since this is not “stage hypnosis”, but rather “medical hypnosis”, no one loses control!).

(3-hour lecture)

2. How to externalise stressors and traumas that are stuck in the cells of the body

This lecture is especially experiential and memorable with full audience participation. It is divided into two parts:

Part One: In this part of the lecture, I prove that cellular memory of events does exist. These memories affect us on a physiological and emotional level. I tell miraculous stories of people who have used this method and how they have rid themselves of tics and other physiological and emotional problems relatively quickly. I further explain how this cellular imprint takes place and how to let go of the unwanted cellular memories so that one can feel free and heal.

(1-hour lecture)​

Part Two: A-step-by step practical guide and exercises that assist in freeing the body and calming down the nervous system. Participants are also equipped with tools on what to do in moments when they feel out of emotional balance. This session makes use of the brain stem as well as the body to achieve self-regulation. After this lecture, participants reported how the exercises freed them from long standing distress.

(2-hour lecture/workshop).

3. Positive and negative self-talk and mistaken beliefs

This lecture deals with one’s internal communication and it is divided into four parts:​

Part One: In this lecture, I focus on three parts of the personality that cause negative self-talk and as a result, throw one out of emotional balance. Participants learn to recognise their voices, as well as how to “answer them back” and how to minimise their power. This session involves role modelling, interesting media and exercise.

(1 ½ hour lecture/workshop)​

Part Two: Each participant receives a questionnaire that detects mistaken beliefs which may exist in her subconscious and which cause insecurities and anxieties. This serves as an eye-opening exercise. Thereafter, participants score their questionnaire and learn useful, corresponding affirmations which aim at correcting the problematic beliefs.

(1-hour workshop)​

Part Three: An amazing hypnosis session (optional), which reinforces the externalisation of negative, non-congruent messages about ourselves that come from our environment.

(1/2 hour)

​Part Four: An optional and very enjoyable creative activity which reinforces all the new messages and the learning acquired in the workshop

(1/2 hour)

4. Social skills: How to be assertive as opposed to being aggressive or a people pleaser

Assertiveness is a much-needed social skill, which facilitates the ability to ask for what you need, to express what you feel and to refuse a request when necessary, without hurting people’s feelings. This is a common social skill that people seem to struggle with. When people need something from another person, or at a time of conflict, they often assume the role of the “aggressive part” or the “people-pleaser’s part”. This session together with interesting media, role-play and exercise, aim at strengthening one’s assertive part, which serves as the right approach in most cases.

(2-hours lecture/workshop)

5. “Inner peace in the modern world” – “how to achieve inner peace at times when people without anxiety/depression are the exception” The holistic approach

This lecture contains 18 steps which facilitate a fuller, happier, more balanced life, with lower levels of stress and reduced negative emotions. This lecture serves as a practical guide on how one can help oneself or one’s child to either stay in an emotionally balanced state or get out of depression or anxiety.

The session is followed by an optional hypnosis session for relaxation and for achieving inner-peace.

(1 ½ -hour lecture/workshop)

6. The 6 steps for an immediate release of anger, stress, fear or frustration

Situations of anger, stress, worry or frustration, present a challenge when one needs to deal with others in a respectful and patient manner. This lecture will equip the participant with a “tool box” of six useful techniques, that bring about immediate emotional and physical balance. People particularly love the anger releasing techniques. They find that this release brings them substantial healing. This lecture is based on techniques such as the EFT tapping technique, somatic experiencing, breathing techniques and other practical exercises which enable the person to regain balance in a short space of time.

(2-hour workshop)

7. Self-hypnosis

Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique which enables the person, through deep relaxation, to connect with her internal world, and to seed important messages into the subconscious. In hypnosis, one can work on challenges such as weight loss, nightmares, self-esteem and more. During this session, I teach participants how to get themselves into a ‘relaxation state’ and how to send needed messages to the sub-conscious.

(1-hour workshop)

8. Counselling skills

How to be a good listener. How to contain the people who share their emotional experiences with us. How to respond correctly when people need emotional support, without dismissing their feelings, preaching, rescuing, questioning, pitying, or giving the wrong advice in the wrong manner. Practical and enriching.
