| PERCUSSINE SUGGESTION (PSTEC) First I'd like to point out that PSTEC is not a hypnotic technique. It is NOT hypnosis. However it is true that some people PSTEC is also known as Click Track. Click Track was developed in the UK by Tim Phizackerley, an experienced and noted hypnotherapist. Click Track has proved so successful that it's use is spreading fast world wide and I am proud to be the first therapist to offer PSTEC in Palma De Mallorca, or for that matter, in Spain. When using Click Track the 'subject' listens to a recording which includes dialogue which has various sounds and tones superimposed on the audio. He, or she, is required to tap with the fingers in frequency with these sounds. Note: The tapping mentioned above can be done on any convenient surface. Click Track has proved wonderfully effective in removing various fears, phobias and anxieties, often when other therapies have failed. Click Track can be used with, or as a compliment to, hypnotherapy. I would like to stress ,at his PSTEC, that PSTEC should not be confused with EFT ,or other meridian tapping therapies
Typical applications include: Fear of spiders Fear of public speaking Fear of flying Fear of driving Claustrophobia Social phobia And many, many more. You can contact me, Lou Ravelle, on 971 70 15 90******************************************
TESTIMONIAL Read what a very happy lady says about PSTEC. This is a translation from the original, which was in Spanish.
Hi Louis, After your treatment with Clicktrack PSTEC for fear of flying, I flew to Madrid to spend a few days to celebrate the new year. And I can not believe the difference. I flew to Madrid and then back to Mallorca with no problem at all. The panic and fear that I had always felt earlier had disappeared. The change is incredible!
Greetings and thanks for everything Mari Trini Yeste Blázquez Mallorca, Baleares*** *******************************************

REQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Why is hypnosis, or hypnotism, often thought to be in some way connected with the occult, or even witchcraft?
A. Such fairy tales are entirely due to the ‘Hollywood Effect’. Films often portray victims who are forced by evil people to do terrible things while under hypnosis.
Film directors and writers have found a very useful tool in their fictional type of hypnotism.
The truth of the matter is that a person can’t be made to do anything against his/her will, religion, or beliefs, while under hypnosis.
Q. What’s the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a scientific phenomenon which has been known to man for countless centuries. Hypnotherapy is a treatment which uses hypnosis as powerful tool, using the subject’s own mind to relieve symptoms and change behaviour. Typically, hypnotherapy is used to deal with problems such as smoking, alcoholism, weight-loss difficulties, and nail-biting. Many phobias and fears are also treated successfully using hypnotherapy.
Q. Does hypnotherapy have any unwanted or harmful side effects?
A. No, there are no side effects. It is non-addictive and not harmful in any way.
Q. Does hypnotism work on anyone?
A. Almost anybody, and only if they want to be hypnotised. The client has to be willing to ‘let it happen’. Don’t try to analyse what the therapist is saying. Even if you find yourself thinking: “I know I’m not going to be hypnotised - but I’ll go along with it anyway.” - that’s fine. Just let yourself go and don’t try to make sense of what is being said to you. Just go along with it.
Q. Why is it that stage hypnotists can only hypnotise part of the audience, while the majority seem to be immune?
A. Because of time limitations (the show must go on), stage performers use a very rapid induction technique, which only works on a small percentage of any audience. The therapist, however, uses a slow progression induction. This method is really reliable. Though sometimes the type of induction has to be varied to suit individual cases. Sometimes one therapist may appear to fail where colleague will succeed. Practically everybody can be hypnotised. The degree or depth of the trance will vary greatly from person to person, but only a light trance state is necessary for most therapies.
Q. Will I lose control and stop being aware of what is happening?
No. You do not go to sleep or into a state of unconsciousness. Most people remember everything that has been said while they have been in the trance state. Hypnosis is really a form of deep relaxation.
Q. Will the therapist have physical contact with me?
Some therapists may, during a session, touch the client on the wrist, hand, arm, or forehead. Normally they will tell the client that they are about to do so.
Q. Does self-hypnosis work?
Yes, but it is not as effective as that induced by a second person. To achieve the trance state by oneself is not easy and it may need some practice. It helps a great deal to use a pre-recorded tape, either of your own voice or someone else’s.
Q. Will I remember what happens during the sessions?
Most people are aware of everything that is said during hypnosis and of all other sounds. Some say that they remember most of the therapist’s dialogue, though they admit to drifting off at times. There are some that remember little or nothing. The therapy is just as effective in all cases.
Q. I have been hypnotised before, will that help?
Yes, with each subsequent induction you will find you can go into trance more rapidly and deeply than before.
Q. Is hypnosis suitable for children?
Yes, from about the age of six. Bed-wetting and nail-biting are typical applications. Also there are therapies for various phobias.
Q. What if something happens to the therapist while I’m in the trance state – a heart attack, or something like that?
You would come out of the trance naturally or you would possibly fall into a normal sleep and then wake naturally.
Q. Are their any side- or after-effects? Will it be safe to drive my car after a session, or will I feel ‘spaced-out’?
No, you’ll come out of the trance state feeling drowsy, rather like waking up from a siesta. This will pass off in a few seconds and then you’ll feel really good and relaxed.
Q. How many sessions will I need?
That depends on what the problem is. Some problems, like smoking, can be stopped in one single session. Other changes may take several visits. The therapist should be able to advise on this.
Q. How effective is hypnotherapy for smoking cessation?
Hypnotherapy is the most effective way to stop smoking. Using willpower alone, for most people, is very difficult. Patches are only about 20% effective. There is no doubt that hypnotherapy is the best tool available.
The actual success rate depends on both the therapist and the technique used. A good therapist with a good technique should achieve a success rate well in excess of 90%.
Q. When I stop smoking through hypnosis, will I put on weight as a sort of compensation?
A good therapist will build suggestions into your therapy to prevent this. He will make sure that the ‘satisfaction’ that you got from smoking is diverted to some other field. Typically, sport/fitness, a favourite hobby, or even your job.
Q. I want to have therapy to stop smoking, but my husband (or wife) doesn’t want to stop. With the temptation always close at hand will I be wasting my time taking the therapy?
No, no at all. Your case is by no means unique, in fact it’s quite common. The therapist should be informed of the situation and you will not be affected by others smoking around you. In many cases like yours, the rogue partner often, in time, comes into line and ‘takes the cure’ himself.
Q. Is hypnotherapy effective for weight loss?
Extremely, as the subconscious is usually programmed so that you only eat the right types of food and only in sufficient quantities to satisfy the body’s needs.

| YES, YOU REALLY CAN STOP SMOKING AND YOU CAN DO IT IN ONE SINGLE HYPNOTHERAPY SESSION OF JUST ONE HOUR Hypnotherapy has become universally accepted as the best stop smoking method available. It is harmless, has no side effects and it is amazingly quick. Many people are surprised at just how easy it is to stop smoking by using hypnosis. Very often these people have tried everything else on offer, before harnessing the awesome power of the subconscious mind. I have successfully treated smokers who have tried patches, acupuncture, and medication and of course willpower, all to no avail. When you think about it, it makes sense. The subconscious controls all our habits, right? So why not go straight there to get rid of an unwanted habit? Hypnosis is the key that enables us to access the subconscious and unlearn stuff that you no longer want ,such as smoking. Strange that years ago, when You took your first few puffs, it seemed like a good idea. Now you know differently and you want out. Hypnosis is the most powerful and effective way out. There are lots of people who are nervous about having hypnosis for the first time. This is understandable because they may feel that they’re venturing into the unknown, or that hypnosis is something akin to occultism. It isn’t. Some think that they’ll be asleep or unconscious during the proceedings and there fore will not be in control of themselves. This is quite untrue. When hypnotised you are neither asleep, nor unconscious. Hypnosis is neither of these two things. It is simply a state of deep relaxation, during which the subconscious will be re-programmed to dislike cigarettes and all that they stand for. While most of my work is that of producing ex-smokers, I also treat people for slimming, fear of flying, fear of public speaking and a host of other problems. Do I hear someone saying, “Is it really possible to get rid of a twenty year old, thirty a day smoking habit in one hour? - Just like that?” Yes, believe me, it really is. There are people proving it every day, not just with me, but with lots of other hypnotherapists worldwide. *********************************
The Stop Smoking in 1 Hour session costs, as likely as not, less than you spend on cigarettes in a month. . Compare this with what you spend on tobacco. It's a sound investment and one that will pay for itself a thousand times over. And we're not just talking about money. Think of the rewards you'll reap in the form of health and wellness when you leave that filthy, destructive and dangerous habit behind you.
As stated above hypnotherapy is the best smoking cessation method available. However, no therapist can guarantee success every time with every smoker. However the vast majority of smokers will achieve success when treated by a competent and skilled hypnotherapist. There is one ingredient that is essential to the successful outcome and that is the 'Want To' factor on the part of the smoker. The smoker must really want to quit. There are people who go for hypnotherapy with the idea, " I'll give it a try and if it works, OK, if it doesn't, what the hell, what have I got to lose apart from money?" This semi-negative approach is just not good enough, this kind of thinking reduces the chances of success. A positive mind set is necessary, with so much of that 'I'M GOING TO STOP' factor that you can taste it. Approach the therapy in this manner and your chances of success are enormously increased.
