A Carlton hypnotherapist wants to help a nurse or other frontline NHS worker keep their jobs by helping them overcome their fear of inoculations.
Sam Culshaw-Robinson, who runs the Live Well practice, has helped scores of people get over their worries using tried and tested hypnotherapy techniques.
Recent government rules confirmed frontline NHS workers must get their Covid vaccines by April 1 next year or risk being sacked.
In England there are currently 103,000 unvaccinated NHS workers who work directly with patients.
Sam, who offers face to face or online sessions, said she wanted to help using her hypnotherapy skills.
She said: “Some NHS workers will have a fear of needles and injections involving their own skin. It is surprisingly common. I can offer support and would like to give an NHS frontline worker the chance to experience hypnotherapy for free.
“I would love to help someone from my local area in Carlton or Gedling.”
“They could be doctors, dentists, midwives, nurses, paramedics, ambulance drivers, physiotherapists or radiographers. Anyone who comes into direct contact with patients.
“A lot of people’s experiences of hypnosis is of theatre shows where people are encouraged on to the stage to do something outrageous such as bark like dogs.
“This is very different. Hypnosis during hypnotherapy is gentle and alters the frequency of a person’s brainwaves. It can help re-frame any situation which causes the fear in the first place. We work out the right tools for the client to use themselves before and during a medical appointment.”
“The unconscious mind is amazing and guides us more than we realise. I help and support my clients by teaching them to listen to their unconscious mind.”
Sam is offering two free sessions and proof of work in a frontline role NHS is required. She particularly welcomes people who would be willing to speak about their experience afterwards.
She said: “There must be people out there living with this fear and are now worried about losing their jobs. I can help.”
Sam runs her practice in Carlton and helps people lose weight, stop smoking and deal successfully with chronic pain and phobias.
