Life-changing. Brilliant, simply brilliant!COUNSELLOR / EX IT SERVICE MANAGER Why take this course Strong emotions focus and lock attention – keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen until the emotional arousal is reduced. This is why all health and welfare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in their clients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly but can be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination any required changed behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’. If you want to be able to help people effectively, this is a key course to attend – guided imagery is an essential skill required for removing phobias, curing PTSD, lifting depression and overcoming addictions or self-harm, and is also useful for raising self-confidence and increasing motivation. When you become confident in using these skills, you can begin to bring patients out of the emotionally-driven trance states of a wide range of conditions such as anxiety disorders, addiction, anger, stress overload, trauma, depression, chronic pain and much more. That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us – and one you need in your ‘toolkit’. Fascinating way of working with clients – relaxation techniques very powerful. Extremely relevant to practice. Good techniques and strategies learnt to use with clients to help them problem solve and move forward.HEALTH VISITOR What will you learn Powerful new ways to improve treatment outcomes Training and practice in using one of the most effective psycho- therapeutic tools available for treating a wide range of emotional and physical conditions Invaluable ways to motivate people, reframe life circumstances and instigate changes in behaviour Insight into how the mind/body communication system works Greater confidence when working with a wide variety of conditions Supervised practise in generating healing trances The core skills you need to acquire for the rewind technique for treating PTSD and phobias A variety of ways to help people relax Ways to reduce pain, including in childbirth Increased understanding of trance states and their role in everyday life Effective skills for helping people improve their performance – sports, public speaking etc. The opportunity to experience relaxation, guided imagery and visualisation yourself A scientifically-sound knowledge of why the various techniques and skills you will gain are so valuable And much more Good to know The skills you will learn on this course are an essential pre-requisite for taking the The Rewind Technique – Effective treatment for trauma (PTSD) and phobias course.

By The In House Training Company

ChatGPT, along with other AI tools, aims not to replace the human touch in management, but to enhance it. By addressing repetitive, daily tasks, these tools free up managers to concentrate on core responsibilities like strategic decision-making, team development, and innovation. As we move further into the digital age, integrating tools such as ChatGPT isn't a luxury; it's the future of proactive leadership.

Obtain quick insights, data, and research across varied topics Streamline the writing of articles, training notes, and posts Craft interview tests, form relevant questions, and design checklists for the hiring process 1 Streamlining emails An inbox can be a goldmine of information but also a significant time drain for managers. Here's how to optimise it: Drafting responses: Give the AI a brief, and watch it craft a well-structured response. Sorting and prioritising: By employing user-defined rules and keywords, ChatGPT can flag important emails, ensuring no vital communication slips through the cracks. 2 Efficient report writing Reports, especially routine ones, can be time-intensive.

Proofreading: Lean on ChatGPT for grammar checks and consistency, ensuring each report remains crisp and error-free. 3 Rapid research From competitor insights to market trends, research is a pivotal part of management. Data synthesis: Feed raw data to the AI and receive succinct summaries in return. Question-answering: Pose specific questions about a dataset to ChatGPT and extract swift insights without diving deep into the entire content. 4 Reinventing recruitment Hiring can be a lengthy process. Here's how to make it more efficient: Resume screening: Equip the AI to spot keywords and qualifications, ensuring that only the most fitting candidates are shortlisted. Preliminary interviews: Leverage ChatGPT for the initial rounds of interviews by framing critical questions and evaluating the responses. 5 Enhancing training Especially for extensive teams, training can be a monumental task.
