Self-help CDs

What is a self-help CD, who is it for and why might I need one?

You may have seen on the market many different types of CD's like meditation CDs or Self-Hypnosis CDs (or indeed downloads!) and you may wonder whether there is any point to them.  Or, you may already have bought many, used them a couple of times and then forgot about them.

Well if you have never used one or have lost faith in them, you may want to read on...

Self-help CDs, used properly can be extremely beneficial and cost-effective, depending on what you want from them and your commitment to change. 

I have tried a few self-help audios and CDs myself over the years and now sell my own based on what I thought worked well and techniques I have learnt through my training and research.  The main problem I encountered with the CDs on the market was how generic they were and so it was very difficult finding one that suited my needs.  And there were so many to choose from, it was virtually impossible to know which one to get without spending a small fortune!

To give you an idea of whether you may benefit from one of my CDs, I will discuss some important things you need to know self-help CDs including the types of things you may want to use the CDs for and how to get the most out of my CDs.

Before I begin, I would like to point out that although you may purchase a CD from me, you will be able to download it and put it into the format that is most suitable for you - to play on your MP3 player or IPod. 

What is a self-help CD?

They are designed to be used by individuals looking to improve any area of their life.  They can be used to help overcome unwanted habits and behaviours or to create positive habits and behaviours. 

Some types of self-help CDs 
  • Meditation
  • Self-Hypnosis
  • Motivational
  • Medi-tapping

Some uses for self-help CDs
  • Relaxation/De-stress
  • Combating cravings
  • Increasing intuition
  • Improving relationships
  • Increasing confidence
  • Succeeding in goals
  • Labour and birth

Why are they sometimes unsuccessful?

If you buy a CD, you are often not as informed about the commitment you need to make in order for it to help you achieve success as you would be with guided therapy sessions with a qualified practitioner.  You may have unrealistic expectations that the CD will transform your life straight away and when it doesn't you may get very disheartened and feel that it is a waste of time.  

If you want to be in control of your life and are very motivated then you will probably understand the importance of putting the effort in to achieve your goal.  It's all about knowing how to get the most out of the CD and then doing it. This is the part where motivation and willpower come in. 

It is important to remember, however, that sometimes a problem may have many complex aspects that would make it difficult to unravel alone and so in these cases it would be best to seek help from a professional.  

My Self-help CDs

The great thing about my CDs is that I advise you on the suitability of the CD for your needs (without charge).  If I feel you would benefit from guided sessions or medical advice, I discuss this with you before you commit to buy. 

This means you can avoid the difficult task of online searching, trying to find out what will be the best thing for you to buy from an array of different styles, techniques and practitioners. 

I can also personalise a CD for you to make the suggestions more effective, reaching the core and helping to make the process of making changes in your subconscious mind somewhat easier.  The techniques I use include self-hypnosis, guided meditation and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping

Even if it's just relaxation you are after, I can create something personal to you making it more enticing for you to keep using it.  The benefits of regular relaxation meditation are numerous and well-researched.  You will benefit not only your mind but your body too. 

I keep my prices very low and offer a personal approach with all my clients whether you want therapy sessions or a really cheap generic relaxation CD.  You can email me anytime with any queries and I am always happy to help.

How to get the most from my self-help CDs
  • Get in touch with your requirements and be as specific as possible
  • Follow the instructions I give for use - repetition is always the key to making positive changes
  • Ask any questions you may have
  • Use your willpower initially to make the time needed to listen to the CD and be patient, the benefits will not be far away. One listen will be relaxing and after about 20 days you will have actually changed your brain and created a new positive habit.
That's it!  I will do the groundwork and guide you through the process and then I will leave it in your capable hands to see it through!
