What our graduates say..
“My staff found that techniques like the “infinity sign” which utilises eye movements to control anger and reduce stress not only effective in managing their own stress but in helping young people cope with their own anger. I highly recommend.”
Ian Jordan, Chelsea Football Club, London
"I have used Josh’s eye movement and somatic techniques with some of my patients and was surprised about its efficiency in the treatment of even very deep trauma cases. My long-term experiences in treating patients with regular psycho-analytical methods are showing that his methods cannot only enlarge but also be the most efficient way to find the door to the unconscious."
Dr Agnes Bone, Psychiatrist Munich
“I have a vivid visual memory of a face of a dead body I saw over 20 years ago. I can recall it as if it was there in front of me. During the session the image moved as if it was on a conveyor belt, physically taking an image from one part of my brain and moving it to another whilst changing it to a blurred image. Like putting it on a shelf. After the session I tried to recall the old image. I couldn’t do it. I’m pretty shocked by the effectiveness of this and think it is good for PTSD trauma flashbacks.”
Andy Whelan, QCH Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Former Police Officer, UK
