The following files have been the most requested by participants in our workshops and those who have read our materials.

• Facilitating Childbirth. Using hypnosis for pain management during labor and childbirth is not new. In 1955 the British Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment and an effective form of pain management during childbirth. The American Medical Association approved hypnotherapy in 1958. While going through pregnancy, labor, and delivery is one of the most natural experiences a woman can have, you can use SCS/NLP guided imagery/hypnosis to support your process in many ways--physical, emotional and mental, and spiritual. Research indicates that with proper use of SCS/NLP guided imagery/hypnosis you can experience shorter labor, reduce the need for pain medication, and have a statistically reduced incidence of surgical delivery, including Caesarian delivery and use of forceps. Additionally, at birth your baby is likely to have higher Apgar scores, which are the measurement of your baby's well-being.

• The Personal Profile. The “Personal Profile” is a well-tested personality sorter, complete with questions, descriptions of behavioral tendencies, and correlations to common NLP Metaprograms and to Myers-Briggs personality descriptors. It is designed to help people understand the characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of their typical behavioral tendencies and to identify potential sources of interpersonal conflict in relationships. The “Personal Profile” may be downloaded and duplicated as long as it is reproduced in its entirety, including appropriate attribution.

  The "Personal Profile" comes from Healing with Energy: Your Key to Effective Mind-Body Communication,, by Bowman and Basham. To order a copy of this comprehensive training manual and reference book, call/write now: (269) 921-2217 or debra@scs-matters.com

It is a great way to distinguish between what you really can do and what needs to be turned over to the universe with the recognition that it would be wonderful if....

• The Drama Triangle Revisited. The main roles of the Drama Triangle—Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer—are well-known, but not everyone is familiar with either the Cognitive Triangle or the Transrational Pyramid. This document will help you identify the various roles and help you and your friends, family, and clients move from roles on the Drama Triangle to the sense of Awareness, Clarity, and Harmony available from the Transrational perspective.

• Newly revised, the worksheet providing directions for using Healing Touch™ as self-care, is now available in two forms, the standard (Self Full Body Connection), and with new language incorporating the Lord’s Prayer for those who wish to draw on the resources of the Christian religion (Self Full Body with Our Father). Both worksheets provide the directions for use and illustrate the hand positions for balancing your Human Energy Field and inducing a state of relaxed well-being. A CD is also available (see SCS Products and Services for more information).
