Dr Alexander has also produced a range of MP3 files for those issues he sees most often in his clinic. Why Choose Hypnosis MP3s Instead of Hypnosis CDs? There are several advantages in using Dr Alexander’s Hypnotherapy MP3s in preference to Hypnotherapy CDs and other Hypnosis MP3s. Consider the following: A Hypnosis CD needs to be posted and can take days or weeks to arrive. If it is lost in the mail you can waste many hours attempting to find it or recover a refund. Because MP3s can be easily downloaded, without the need for packaging and postage, they are less expensive. You receive your product, in a very private way, within a couple of minutes. A hypnosis CD is a very generic product and cannot easily be tailored to a persons specific needs, especially for issues such as anxiety, weight loss, insomnia, and self-confidence. Many of the issues people face are overlapping. For example, a person experiencing work related stress may also have issues with insomnia. Weight issues may be associated with low self-esteem. A library of hypnosis MP3s provides the opportunity for selective downloads which can be mixed and matched depending on individual requirements. The specific hypnotic suggestions contained in many hypnotic CDs are often so numerous that the listener becomes both consciously, and perhaps subconsciously, confused about what specific beliefs need accepted and what specific actions need to be taken. Many psychological studies prove it is better to focus on one goal at a time. When this has been achieved and maintained it is then time to move on to the next goal. For example, weight loss can be achieved by reducing junk food, decreasing portion size, and increasing the frequency of exercise. Many weight loss hypnosis CDs will try to motivate you to achieve all three at once. Even hypnosis is not this powerful! The listener is likely to fail and damage their self-esteem and self-confidence. For this reason many hypnotic CDs are ineffective because they say too much and the listener becomes hopelessly confused about what actions need to be taken. Dr Alexander’s MP3s help you achieve personal change in a clear, stepwise process over a period of weeks or months depending on the issue. Under the topic ‘Weight Loss MP3’ you will find 4 downloadable files. The first is an introduction which describes how the program works and how to use the following 3 self-hypnosis files. There is onc file for ‘junk food’ one file for ‘portion size’ and one file for ‘exercise". During a one month period you should only be using one of the self-hypnosis files at a time and listening to it no more than three times a week. In a similar way, under the topic ‘Stop Smoking MP3’ you will find 4 downloadable files. The first is an introduction which describes how the program works and how to use the following 3 self-hypnosis files. In this case you are to use the first file for one week, the second file for the next week and the third file in the last week. Changing the files helps keep you interested and motivated. For issues such as insomnia, greater emphasis is placed on education. Much is known about what steps need to be taken to get back into a normal sleep pattern. Under the topic ‘Insomnia MP3’ you will find an introduction file which includes information about such topics as sleep cycles, food, stress, and associative learning. The single self-hypnosis file is primarily used to get you to sleep. You listen to it when you go to bed or if you wake up in the middle of the night.
