IN SHORT: People say life’s all about give and take. It’s not – givers and takers are game-players. Life is all about SHARING…
“Games are a compromise between intimacy and keeping intimacy away.”
[Eric Berne, 20th-century Canadian psychiatrist & author, creator of Transactional Analysis]

Last time we talked about the perils of running on empty and how important it is to take responsibility for refuelling before we hit the ‘red zone’ on our personal fuel gauge.
I promised this time we’d talk about the games people play – that’s not just other people though, it includes you – in order to try to get other people to meet their needs instead of taking responsibility for themselves and sorting out how to meet their own. …read the rest… »

This morning I’m sitting in Starbucks finishing off a few articles that I’ve so far not managed to finish. However, I remembered that I had no cash in my wallet when I left home this morning… …read the rest… »

Liverpool Event Flyer
It’s happening..!
I’ve teamed up with Regus Liverpool to put on a ‘Taste of Hypnosis’ event in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
It’s on Wednesday April 14th, from 12:30 – 1:30pm – a lunchtime, so you needn’t take time away from work.
We’re holding it at the Regus Liverpool Centre, Horton House, Exchange Flags, Liverpool L2 3PF.
In return for some fantastic insights into how your mind works and some simple demonstrations of how hypnosis can help you personally and professionally, all we’re asking is that you bring a £5 donation to Marie Curie Cancer Care with you.
We’ve had enquiries about this event even before we announced the details, so we know it’s going to be popular. However, there are only 20 places to be had which means you MUST pre-book, either by emailing booking@iceandlemon.com or calling 07730 651648 immediately!
Click here for a flyer and more information.
Remember – places are limited so book now.

This isn’t that new a tale – I first used it as part of a series of ‘Creating Calm’ stress-management sessions a few years back.
As always with metaphorical tales, it’s about whatever you take from it… enjoy! …read the rest… »

Well, that was 2009.
Since we ended last year with the theme of honesty, I thought I’d start 2010 on a similar note. I’ve got a couple of questions I’d like you to answer truthfully – I won’t make you swear to tell it, I’ll just assume that because you want to get the most out of this, you will be totally honest, at least with yourself: …read the rest… »
