DR JULIE KIDD - CANBERRA HYPNOTHERAPIST

Hi, I'm Julie Kidd. I have been a doctor for over 30 years. In that time I have practised in teaching hospitals, as a country GP, wholistic GP and in heart disease prevention.

Ten years ago I went to a training course in Medical Hypnosis. The doctor who was teaching needed a subject for demonstration, so I brought my then 10 year old son, who had debilitating insomnia ,to the class. The two sessions that he had made a tremendous difference to our lives, Finally, after 10 years of the misery of sleeplessness and exhaustion for parent and child, it was over. My son could just go to bed and go to sleep and I could have evenings to wind down. I was amazed that this was possible, easy and life-changing. Ever since then I have been a medical hypnotherapist helping others who are suffering and needing a way to change.

From my experience, some people will heal or change themselves by simply taking themselves as the authority in their lives. They know what they want, decide to do what needs to be done, and they have the inner resource to do whatever it takes. However, many of us need a little help.

Most of us know what we should do, but we can't find the energy, the will or even a sense that it's possible to change. We waste our lives and our energy on ruminations about the past, the future, repetitive thought patterns, unhelpful habits and self-judgement. Using hypnotherapy, we can re-gather the power of mind, body and spirit into a unified force for change. It isn't hard.

All achievements are from habits. All failures are from habits.
