A two-day Certificated course in 'Changing Limiting Belief Systems'.
For online courses see: changinglimitingbeliefs.co.uk
Everyone experiences limiting beliefs at some time in their life, whether they simply have a little self-doubt, self-esteem issues, have frequent complaints or illnesses, or suffer from full-blown ME or PVFS - this course will empower YOU to help them change their lives, completely.
On this advanced two-day course, you will learn ‘The Rob Kelly Technique TM’ - which is an incredibly powerful system of training people to identify and change their limiting beliefs, and take back control of their lives.
Question : What DID a clinically depressed GP, an ME sufferer, an obsessional social-phobic, a child with leukemia, a cigarette smoker, someone with an obsessive personality, and a sufferer of a major neurological illness have in common?
Answer : They all HAD limiting beliefs that were preventing them from regaining their health, and living happy, successful lives.
The above six REAL case - histories will be explored during this course...
The key to recognising and changing limiting beliefs, lays in understanding he different personality types and traits that create, distort and maintain them. This ground-breaking course joins together amazing new research, and Rob ' s 20 years experience (as a Pure Hypnoanalyst) of treating people with limiting beliefs ....
Do you ever have clients/patients, that regardless of how much you do for them, seem ‘closed’ to the idea of getting better? Or clients/patients who, though they have been successfully treated - and there is no longer any pathological reason for their symptoms - seem to cling on to them (their symptoms) for dear life?
Maybe you have treated a smoker, and though they have stopped, they are struggling because they are still thinking of themselves as a ‘smoker’ or an ‘ex-smoker’....
Maybe you have helped a person to lose weight and feel better about themselves, but as soon as they stop coming for treatment, the weight went back on...
Maybe you have been treating someone for clinical depression, and they just REFUSE to get better.....
Maybe you have treated somebody, who just had no belief in their ability to be healthy, and have a happy, fulfilled life?
This course will not only explain WHY these clients/patients haven’t got better, but it will teach you how to train them to overcome their limiting belief systems, and take back control of their lives!
Changing Limiting Beliefs, is a multi-faceted approach to training people to completely change their limiting beliefs - empowering them to take back control of their life. A major part of this course will be orientated towards learning a six-session training program that you can use with your patients/clients, that can significantly help people with ME, post viral fatigue syndrome, anorexia, fibromyalgia, OCD, smoking.....and just about ANY other disorder or symptom where limiting beliefs play a part .
Whilst researching this course, a physicist who runs a Paediatric Oncology dept in a major UK hospital told me he can tell within minutes of meeting children with leukaemia which ones are likely to survive their illness, and which ones won’t....it all comes down to their belief systems... which are changeable!!
This course teaches you a complete process for retraining the way a person thinks and feels. The process includes techniques adapted from clinical hypnosis, CBT, NLP, applied psychology and from Robs own clinical experience
Some of the topics that will be discussed and demonstrated on this course include:
- The HUGE role that having an 'external locus of control' plays on limited belief systems - the biggest problem with having limited beliefs, is that people feel POWERLESS to do anything about them – they feel that these things are beyond their control..
- Understanding the formation of belief systems: where do they come from? Why do they form in the first place? What purpose do they serve?
- An in-depth look at the real causes of ME/PVFS/Chronic Fatigue – and an overview of all the research undertaken into these illnesses. What does the medical profession think?
- Delusional belief systems and how they differ from 'normal' beliefs: how can someone with, for example, anorexia believe they are fat – in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?
- Grooming and 'normalised behaviour' in relation to distorted thinking
- How is it that some people can have hugely traumatic childhoods, and yet grow up to be resilient, positive, successful and healthy people... Whereas some other people have loving, caring, supportive and safe experiences of childhood, and yet need three weeks off work just because they get a cold?
- Why people lose perspective over their problems/symptoms, preventing them from seeing things right under their noses..
- 'Deserving' - the huge role that 'believing that you deserve' plays in a person ’ s ability to get better and move on from a stressed state.
- Negativity, negative thoughts and the inability to perceive feeling better
- Anxiety - Rob has split anxiety into anticipatory anxiety and real-time anxiety making it far more understandable.
- The positive use of 'Coue's Law' and how to create positive and lasting changes.
- 'Reframing' - taking a different attitude and a different view towards past and recent experiences.
- Rob’s 'Dream Technique' - the actual process of changing negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones. This is NOT simple ‘positive thinking’ - the problem with ‘normal’ positive thinking, is that it doesn’t last. This does.
- A comparison with 'The Lightening Process', The Perrin Technique, Mickel therapy, Reverse Therapy and other interventions that claim some success in treating conditions such as ME/PVFS
- All insights and techniques will be backed up by the latest research, psychological testing and real case histories
Whilst researching this course, and refining my techniques, I successfully treated a man who had been suffering terribly with M.E. For over 20 years. It was completely ruining his life....and yet he told me early on in his training that ‘he would rather have M.E. until the day he died, rather than being cured now, and know that his ‘illness’ was psychological . ’
In order to successfully treat people with limiting beliefs, you MUST have an in-depth understanding of ALL the psychological forces involved in maintaining them. This course Will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know.....
The Techniques taught on this course can be used as a stand-alone training program, or in conjunction with other therapies such as: hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, CBT, Life Coaching, Counselling etc or alongside physical therapies, such as: osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, and even alongside conventional medicine: in the G.P.’s surgery In hospitals, or in clinics
This certificated course is a module in the IAPH Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and Pure Hypnoanalysis. All delegates will receive a certificate, proof of 14hours CPD, and a course receipt
As with all Rob's courses and training sessions, this seminar will be presented in a dynamic, challenging, humorous and exciting way. Rob Kelly has been in full-time practice as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist for twenty years, and has amassed a huge amount of experience in treating people with limiting belief systems. This two-day course is all about changing those limiting beliefs....
About the course writer/presenter:
Rob Kelly is a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, who has been in full time practice for around 20 years. He is the Director of Training for the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts (IAPH), one of the largest independant hypnotherapy organisations in the world.
He has developed an incredibly powerful form of therapy known as Pure Hypnoanalysis, which is able to help people completely resolve and process the unconscious conflicts that drive common symptoms such as fears, phobias and anxieties etc. Rob has also developed a programme called 'Changing Limiting Beliefs', which enables people to take control of their lives and overcome fears, anxiety, depression and ill-health.
Some testimonials from people who have undergone the changing limiting beliefs programme:
I had suffered ever since I remember. Mainly lower back pain, IBS and bladder pain, as well as very low self esteem but after the break up of a long term relationship I suffered anxiety attacks, acute back pain, had to go part time at work because I could no longer travel (I'm in sales). Even visiting friends and family was stressful because I would panic about what they might feed me. I was getting my life back on track but then I experienced the worst bladder pain I had ever had and very bad IBS for about 4 months. I had always used Reiki to help my symptoms but this time it wasn't working. I had moved out of my shared house into a flat on my own because being around people was causing me stress. I became a total recluse, drinking most evenings and talking to people on the Internet was my only social life. If you met me you would think I was a successful, strong, attractive person but on the inside I was torturing myself.
The first time I saw Rob, he listened to my "life story" and within minutes totally understood where my problems were coming from. He helped me to understand that I had an obsessive personality, social phobia, and I was very impressionable, so my inner voice and my spiritual beliefs were actually keeping me ill because I had no trust in my own ability to be well. All I ever said to myself were negative things... "I will never get better", "no one likes me" etc. I would always expect the worst to happen and I would obsess about situations for hours on end.
When I started using the DREAM technique, I was very very sceptical that something so simple could be effective, but within a few days I felt like I had unlocked a chain around my neck. It was like I was seeing the world (and myself) through new eyes. The negative filter was gone! When using the DREAM technique it was like putting a petulant child on the naughty step, I would have to repeat it a number of times but eventually the negative thought would be turned into a positive one. I found that my relationship with my parents and friends had greatly improved and I was no longer the outsider I had imagined myself to be.
After a few weeks I had planned a 2 week work trip to America. My first meeting was a presentation in front of 30 people and I couldn't believe the improvement in my confidence. I was finally being the person I knew I could be. The rest of the trip went amazingly well, even though I was in a different city each day, I was not stressed at all, I had loads of energy and my physical symptoms were much improved.
Now I am a few months on, and I still use the DREAM technique every day. It is a part of my life now, so much so that I had DREAM tattooed on my wrist as a constant reminder!
I am so grateful to Rob for giving me this tool, I have come such a long way in a short space of time, it has empowered me to change my life for the better and I want to keep going!

Hi Rob
Just to let you know, I have just completed your online research survey :)
Now, about my emetophobia....... it's completely bloody gone!
I'm sorry I doubted you, and I'm sorry I was a difficult client, but you are a genius. I had tried everything to try and get some relief from the fear that was crippling my life, and now it is completely gone - and it's amazing. I read your testimonials page before coming to see you, and I remember thinking 'God, I would love to feel like those people do" - well, now I do, and I couldn't be happier. I can eat anything I want, I can drink anything I want, and all my other anxieties have now completely gone. Thank you so so much, you have given me a life.

Hi Rob,
I hope that you're keeping well.
I realised that I was meant to call you last week however thought I would drop you an e-mail for now. Since we last met, as discussed, I have been applying your DREAM technique and beating the demons. To date I am pleasantly surprised at the outcome. My anxiety prior to driving has considerably subsided and whilst before I would dwell on it for hours on end, since applying DREAM the negative thoughts have started to diminish which has undoubtedly increased my confidence behind the wheel. I have also found that the frequency of the negative thoughts are decreasing. I have travelled short distances on the motorway feeling more confident and will write again when I travel further.
In addition, I have found myself being less angry in relation to small matters which would have bothered me i.e., Ian not cleaning the kitchen or coming home late from work. I thought this was the norm however now that I have a different positive approach I can certainly recognise it wasn't.
I will continue to apply the technique and hopefully next time I will be able to report further developments. The day I left your office, I made a promise not to be scared anymore and since that day life began to change! Thank you. Furthermore, When that little devil on my shoulder rears it's ugly head, I tell it to shut the fu.k up!
Kind Regards

Rob Kelly has changed my life. He has helped me to see the power of the mind and to better understand myself and how my mind works. Rob's care and concern were apparent immediately and these coupled with his expertise, professionalism and commitment have produced remarkable results. After 7 dreadful years of depression I can see a future. The road Rob took me along was bumpy but he guided and supported me. He has shown me how to use my abilities constructively rather than against myself. Thank you so much Rob.

Some comments from previous course attendees:
I can honestly say that this is the best course I've attended. It was truly inspirational and I came away feeling really enabled and confident. I started putting the technique into practice with clients straight away with excellent results. This technique has really given me the skills to help not only clients with M.E. etc, but so many others. The course content was easy to understand and put into practice. My true 'light bulb' moment came the first time I tried the technique with a client and had a real breakthrough after their last couple of sessions had been spent going round in proverbial circles. If you only do one course this year this has to be it! Thanks again Rob.

I have just returned from Rob Kelly's Limiting Beliefs seminar and I would recommend it to any therapist that deals with clients who present with any debilitating illness. The weekend was great fun and most informative. I learned a great deal about how to help clients who are seemingly 'stuck' in a merry go round of chronic illness such as ME, PVS and CFS. The course is geared towards self help for these people and postive thinking. You will learn so much about the typical personality traits of such clients and how to help them deal with their illness and help them change their belief system. Rob is a dynamic and innovative individual with a presentation style which is unique.

I just wanted to say how truly inspirational I found the course at the weekend. I feel that as a therapist I now have a fantastic additional tool in my arsenal to assist clients. The delivery was, as always, exceptional and really left me wanting to know more about the symptoms and effective treatment of ME, PVF and CFS.
I literally started using it with clients the next day.
Cheers Rob

The two day residential course for 'Changing limiting beliefs' was, for me extemely useful. I have two clients, who although they had undergone a successful analysis were still questioning some aspects of their presenting problems. I was able to apply the procedure I learned on the course for these people, resulting in their learning to check and understand more clearly, their own thought process. This meant they had a greater understanding of self and therfore more control in aiding their own recovery.
The underlying characteristics of some personalities, and quite rightly so, predispose them to question and analyse their thoughts in a critical way. This new procedure can help them to stop 'being mean' to themselves and to use their ability in a positive rather than a negative way.
It is a really useful and simple way to help me to help my clients find relief, and this can only be good.
Erica Walsh - hypnotherapist 
Although the course was developed with ME suffers in mind, I am applying the techniques with many other problems that I am being consulted for, with excellent results. As with all your courses, the weekend was not only informative and interesting but great fun too.

Rob Kellys "Challenging Limiting Belief Systems" is a course which ALL therapists should attend. The content opens up a whole new dimension to the thinking process, not only for those difficult to treat clients, but also for our own personal belief systems. The course was at times emotive but presented by Rob, in a caring, humorous and direct manner. The two days included interactive learning through therapists own personal distorted thinking, plus a detailed life experience of a past ME sufferer. An absolutely brilliant course.

I just wanted to say thank you for the Changing Beliefs course - it's filled in a gap in our therapy that meant we couldn't help clients who were unable (usually because they were'nt motivated) to go through hypnoanalysis and given us a fantastic new way to get round the hurdles and resistance put up by analysis clients too.
The two days were certainly challenging to someone who believes so wholeheartedly in analysis, but it just made sense and its been helping me since I came back to work to really get through to clients who might otherwise have either left therapy or not managed to resolve their problems.
I'm already incorporating the techniques when I'm working with children and young adults too - one area that I felt we were'nt doing enough at times; with really good results.
I'd say this was just a very important course and will be coming back for a refresher and to pick your brains.

Hi Rob,
I would just like to say a big "THANK YOU". Since attending your 'changing limiting belief systems' course in December i have had fantastic results with my clients, some of whom would never have got through therapy without me using the techniques i learnt on the course
Thanks again
Vikki Heath 
Just to say officially that the workshop on Changing Belief Systems was really great. I am finding that I can use the concepts we covered on a regular basis : during initial consultations, for suggestion therapy, and as a final debriefing after a course of pure hypnoanalysis. Tomorrow I plan to incorporate elements of it into a Blowaway ............... love the plank walking !!!
Thank you Rob for your dedication, hard work and inspirational weekends............... humour's pretty good too.
Julia Chrisfield - Hypnotherapist 
When I first attended Rob’s course I was a bit sceptical on whether the simplicity of
his unique methods would actually work in real life. However I was proven to be wrong! They just didn’t work ... they totally transformed the life of one client, who was totally obsessed with negativity, yet within a few days of applying the Rob Kelly Changing Limiting Beliefs Technique;, she is now living a very happy, positive life AND has totally turned her life around! So, thanks for sharing your unique methods ..if they can convert a sceptic like me they can help any therapist train their most negative clients to become more powerful in their choices!”
Cheers mate ...
