Can you see an angry face in one of these pictures Can you see an angry face in one of these pictures? It’s been thought for a long time that there are some emotions we all experience no matter where we come from but recently that idea is starting to change. The common research approach had been to show people photos of faces displaying emotion (like these pictures) but it seems that there are some biases in this way this research tool has been used. Recent research described in Professor Lisa Feldman-Barrat’s fascinating book suggests that emotions are shaped by language and culture much more than we used to think. The way we talk about an emotion like anger varies a lot. Russian speakers have two different words to refer to ‘anger at a person’ and ‘anger at a situation’. German speakers have three different words to describe the concept of anger and Mandarin speakers have five! In Micronesia emotion is expressed not as an individual experience but as an interaction between people. The Himda tribe in New Guinea express emotion as a behaviour rather than a feeling. This diversity shows that we have can have more control over our emotions than we often think. As a hypnotherapist I support many clients in understanding and regulating their emotions more effectively. Contact me to find out more.

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and though hi William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and though his exact birthdate is not recorded it is usually celebrated today (23 April). His cultural influence continues today and for good reason. Neuroscientific studies show that his literary techniques activate not only the parts of the brain associated with routine language processing but also areas of the brain associated with emotion, empathy and creativity. His techniques, now used by many other writers, seem to push the brain beyond habit-based thinking and stimulate the imagination*. In solution focused hypnotherapy we use metaphor in various elements of the session which can help clients identify deeply-held personal narratives that can be negative and constraining and to reframe in more positive and constructive ways.

In this gorgeous podcast series produced by his so In this gorgeous podcast series produced by his son @bobbicee, comedian & writer Barry Cryer talks with friends in a London pub during the last months of his life. A born storyteller, Barry talks with Miriam Margolyes, Stephen Fry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Danny Baker and Giles Brandreth. In one conversation he talks about the cultural influence of radio in his youth. He compared this to his father, a youth during a pre-radio, pre-TV era when ‘home entertainment’ meant something very different to now. His story struck me that in a single human life span there has been a massive shift in our cultural lives from storytelling and ‘parlour games’ to being able download Netflix on our phones and access to social media 24/7. We are just learning about the effects this can have on the brain and I have worked with young people who are overwhelmed by being online ‘24/7’ and feel addicted to their smartphones. Hypnotherapy can help clients to relax, find effective ways to ‘switch off’ and to rediscover alternative interests and activities. Contact me to find out more.
