Hi there, I hope you enjoy the podcast. My recording studio is actually under a doona in my bedroom (it muffles the echo) but with imagination we travel to more interesting places. We can use the skills we learn to remain relaxed in stressful situations, when the world seems turned upside down.

If you enjoy the podcast and would like to explore how relaxation techniques can be used to treat a specific problem that you need help with then have a look at the College of Medical Hypnosis website by clicking the above link. You can find a therapist near you who has been trained in the sort of techniques I use in the podcast, and can apply them to your particular situation rather than for general relaxation.
