Recently a student on the Process told us that they'd first heard about Hoffman from a person sitting next to them on a plane. It seems more people are happy to share their experience of something that made a positive change in their lives, and this way they inspire others to heal and transform themselves.
This month, we're really seeing the Hoffman ripple effect in action. Eleanor Moran has written a great article about the Process in the Guardian, Patrick Holford recommends us in his new book, we are planning more Processes in Ireland and will be hosting a series of events in the Middle East.
Everything is buzzing in the Hoffman world and we're glad we can share this with you,
With love from all the Hoffman team x

A moment that changed Eleanor
|
| |
|
Novelist, executive TV producer and BAFTA nominee Eleanor Moran spoke recently about her experience on the Hoffman Process.
In a feature in The Guardian, Eleanor credits the Process with helping her realise the harm that putting her father on a pedestal was having on her adult relationships.
'I'd read enough self-help books to fill a library, but when you're on the Process, there's no hiding behind your intellectual understanding of what's made you the way you are ... I was able to really feel the anger that it was too dangerous for me to express as a child. It meant part of me was still that child, frozen in time; Hoffman gave me the chance to grow up.'

Five keys to connection with Patrick Holford
|
| |
|
 Hoffman Graduate Patrick Holford is a pioneer in the fields of health and nutrition. His new book, The Chemistry of Connection, gives fantastic tips on how to live a purposeful life.
'The Hoffman Process is very good at unravelling self-destructive habits and discharging the negative emotions ... As well as an immediate sense of liberation, it enables you to recognise when you have become plugged into a negative habit and gives you the tools to break free...'
Patrick writes about the Process in his chapter on the importance of self-love. He also shares the value of the transference exercise.
You can catch Patrick on his nationwide tour of the UK and Ireland where he shares his five keys to connection.

Susan McGrath is a Hoffman Graduate and psychotherapist with experience across a wide range of issues including trauma, phobia and depression. In this article we asked her to talk about one of the root causes of so many patterns that we see on the Process: the role of attachment in co-dependency and addiction.
'Codependency starts in childhood with our family of origin and stems from how our dependency needs were or weren't met. Unlike many other species a human child needs closeness and attentiveness over many years to grow into a healthy adult. When there's less than nurturing parenting, for whatever reason, a child begins to internalise the belief that they're not good or loveable enough. Shame and anxiety is created and the scene is set for codependency to take hold.
One of the strengths of the Hoffman Process is exploring these childhood wounds. Through tried and tested techniques you work through the pain, relieving the symptoms which can vary from anxiety, depression, failure to get into a relationship or to multiple failed relationships, to name just a few.'
