Writer's block, an owner's guide: Hypnotherapy for writer’s block
As you can imagine if you’ve been following this journal, I still don’t have much time to write about writing – I barely have time to write. But let me draw your attention again to Ben Dean’s useful newsletter the All But Dissertation Survival Guide which is targeted at academic writers but totally applicable to all forms of writer’s block.
Because I do hypnotherapy, I was specially interested in the story his guest writer Dr Geoff Michaelson told this month.
I arrived at the office very curious about what would happen. The hypnotherapist spoke to me in a matter of fact way. I remember him saying in a very curious way, with a Cheshire smile, Isn’t it nice that things can change?” I started laughing. He said something else that sounded like the first phrase but was more personal.
Within a few months I completed my work and graduated in the fall of that year. A lot changed very quickly. What remained obscure was the phrasing of the second suggestion and why the impact of this one session and two simple phrases had been so profound…
Unfortunately the newsletter is not fully archived so there’s no way you can read the whole story. Sign up, why dontcha.
