IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.?

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's' More 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute; look at it and really see it; live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!


Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

I have developed a Tool which records the client's feelings at the start of therapy, the higher the score the greater negativity and time spent in that modality. This enables me to measure the effectiveness of my therapeutic programme in a dynamic and powerful way throughout the process. This is hard evidence that my programme of healing and change really works in a short time frame of 6 weeks. All it takes is full participation in the programme.

The following table is an extract of data from clients with initial issues of stress, anxiety, depression, various addictions including weight issues, IBS, relationship and bereavement issues, as well as work related, lack of confidence and self-esteem, and academic related issues, who completed my 6 week therapy programme between February 2008 and June 2009. The table shows significant improvements in 8 key areas.

The small improvement in 'Thinking about the future' is infact a mixed result, in that many clients report that their thoughts about their future after the 6 week therapy programme is brighter and more positive; whereas the score at the start of therapy was from a negative view point.

Thank you for coming to my web site. I am an Existential Psychotherapist, that means that I teach people how to release their experiences from the past to discover the magic of the moment then guide them to create their future. I have been trained to use many different processes and techniques because my work has shown me that we are all different and what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. The core of my therapeutic practice is a unique process that I have developed and used since 2003 called Dynamic Thought Transfer Process TM. I teach my clients the DTT process, and from that foundation, the change begins, and all the other healing processes that I teach build the magic that is you. I work with individuals and with couples,as well as families, helping to heal the past, find solutions to personal issues and resolve conflicts. I teach clients how to meditate and then how to hypnotise themselves to change their behaviour; a skill that can be used for life. This is achieved using Brainwave Entrainment Techniques.

What is the best psychotherapy or hypnotherapy process for you? I use many techniques, all of which I will teach you so that you can improve your health, well-being and life choices. The techniques include, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Relaxation, Meditation, DTT (Dynamic Thought Transfer), Energy Medicine.
