Traders are turning to a hypnotist

/0 Comments/in /by

Traders are turning to a hypnotist to try to stay calm amid the market chaos.
More than ever, the markets have been like a roulette wheel this month. They have been swinging from deep losses to massive gains and back again, sometimes within hours.

The markets are led by greed and fear, but the traders who act on these emotions will get blown out by the market swings.

 

 

Some are turning to hypnotherapy to keep their decisions cold and rational, Aaron Surtees, a director at the London clinic CityHypnosis, told Business Insider UK.

Surtees has worked with employees at banks and hedge funds including Nomura, UBS, and Henderson Global Investors and said traders asked for the same thing in their treatments. Surtees said they want “to be like a robot: cold, clinical, highly efficient, high stamina, high concentration, relentless.”

It doesn’t take long either. Surtees said two to four 15-minute treatments should be enough to reprogram the subconscious and see gains. It’s not cheap, at £195 ($305) per quarter-hour session, but it has a market.

“It’s about taking away the reckless emotional trades and getting them to do what they want,” Surtees said. “Anger and frustration is quite a big one. Shoveling money in even though they know they should get it out and losing their head.”

He works with about a trader a day, though things haven’t reached the pick-up in business seen during the 2008 global financial crisis.

And for those who are worried that their newfound robotic behavior will spill over into their personal lives, Surtees said this was very unlikely.

“It’s like a performance, like an actor, so you’re in a different mindset the second you step onto the trading floor,” he said. “As long as they’ve got the desire for that change, then you can put all of that into the suggestions.”

hypnotherapy to give up cigs

/0 Comments/in /by

TV veteran Amanda Redman has told how she had to have five rounds of hypnotherapy to get her to quit smoking.

The former New Tricks star, 58, has been off fags for two years but still uses e-cigs saying: “Tobacco is the best drug.”

She said: “I’ve been off normal cigarettes for two years now. But it took the fifth round of hypnotherapy to properly get me off.

“It was really good and helped a lot. Now I’m just on these e-cigs, I love them. They are amazing. Tobacco is the best drug, normal cigarettes just have all that s*** in them.”

Amanda is set to star in new ITV crime thriller The Trials of Jimmy Rose with Ray Winstone as they play husband and wife.

They first worked together 15 years ago in low budget cult classic Sexy Beast.

Amanda admits she jumped at the chance of working with ray but that they giggled through all of their intimate scenes.

Speaking at the premiere of Dear Lupin, she said: “When we do those scenes we giggle the whole way through.

“He’s quite serious but I’m a bit of a prankster, I wind him up. We’ve worked together before and he is a dream.”

She also spoke about her ideal role and admitted she would only ever do something if it was “perfect”.

She continued: “I’ve been very busy over the last year, I’ve been directing a lot. And I do get a lot of offers to do different TV shows. But I end up turning most of them down.

“I am very picky, there is no point in just doing any old thing, you have to love it. I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Ray on this show again.

“And I will take my time before I sign up to something else.”

Amanda married 42-year-old mobile phone designer Damian Schnabel in 2010. And she says he is 100 per cent supportive with her work.

She continued: “My husband is very supportive, he’s not in the business at all. But he gets what I do, and I love that about him.

Still reeling from a painful breakup, Elena Gluhova realized that the damage caused by her lousy ex-boyfriend went far beyond a broken heart: Her emotional eating had caused her to balloon to her heaviest weight of 130 pounds.

“Quite frankly, I felt fat, ugly and not attractive,” recalls the petite 32-year-old West Village resident, who stands 5-foot-4. “I got a membership to New York Sports Club, but I only used it once a month.”

Unable to find the motivation to hit the gym, Gluhova began researching other tools to help her slim down — and after hours on Google, she stumbled upon a possible cure: hypnosis. Though it may sound like a subject offered at Hogwarts, hypnosis is a treatment approved by the American Psychiatric Association that’s used for quitting everything from smoking to biting your nails.

Hidden power of the mind and the role of hypnosis

By hypnosis you can uncover the contents of your subconscious mind which helps you to heal miraculously and stay healthy.

Human awareness has three levels: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the super-conscious mind. Each of these levels of awareness has different contents, and you access each using a different type of thinking.

hypnosis Buffalo NY Master Mind Advanced HypnosisYour conscious mind consists of your everyday perceptions, thoughts, attitudes and feelings – the facets about yourself of which you are very much aware. This part of your mind is with you through all of your waking hours.

The subconscious mind is a hidden storehouse of memories, deep feelings, desire and aspirations, motives, knowledge and other intensely meaningful aspects of yourself of which you are not usually aware. The subconscious mind is gigantic in size and power compared to the conscious mind. Austrian Neurologist and Psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud’s model of human consciousness looked like an iceberg, with conscious mind at the top (the part you can see above the water) and subconscious mind enormous but hidden (the part submerged under water).

The subconscious mind has numerous functions. It plays a role in guiding your bodily process: your heartbeat, circulation, immune functioning, and so forth. It also contains a library-like catalogue of your life’s experiences and the thoughts and feelings associated with your important events.
