About Susie
Susie has worked successfully as a psychotherapist and teacher for 38 years. During that time she has sought to find the interlocking elements between the diverse skills and evolving theories that make the spirit and and practice of up-to-date clinical psychology.

Susie
chose to study psychology for her own survival.
Like many other leading lights in today’s science and art, Susie Rotch
is the child of Holocaust survivors. Susie was drawn to psychology and self-responsibility
to cope with intimate experience of what is politely termed ‘the failure
of civilization’. We are all subtly drawn towards what we most need -
to find a balance, to seek peace or to find an understanding about who we
are.
The business of self discovery.
Somewhat overshadowed by the constant technological advances in everyday life,
the topic of understanding the world and ourselves is an ever-increasing,
worldwide inquiry that was just about nonexistent 50 years ago. And while
we can only work at understanding the ways of the world Susie believes we
can take steps to positively change our attitudes and reactions to that world.
Breaking chains that were never there.
We voluntarily or involuntarily construct our view of the world and our place
in that world. The role of psychology is to help reveal the choices we have
made and then the choices we can make to better enjoy our lives. Psychotherapy
is not a medical treatment handed out and controlled by strangers. It is a
very personal, self-controlled, existential process that aims to change for
the better our understanding of ourselves and the world.
The Living Skills Library is a distillation of Susie's 3 decades of
practical psychotherapy experience into a series of professional self-education
and universal self-hypnosis courses.
'Leading
Psychotherapy Groups - Becoming an Expert Group Therapist'.
This is a twelve month, self training course. It is the most comprehensive
and practical publication on this topic. The 580 page manuals come with four
DVDs illustrating the key concepts and many examples of group interactions
recorded during an eight week, 38 hour Personal Growth Group.
This ground-breaking publication also has an Administrators Manual for teaching
Group Therapy Leadership in a structured, learning group setting.
'Leadership:
How to get the VERY BEST from your Teaching or Training Group' is an innovative
course in explaining and applying psychological models to use in all learning
groups.
The HypnoBooks
offer a step-by-step manual / workbook and highly-crafted DVD presentation
which make available to the general public a guided path to self exploration
and voluntary behavior change. While both 'Leadership' and the HypnoBooks
address different issues they are both driven by Susie's desire to teach the
processes of self empowerment - an experience missing from her own early life.
The inspiration of the Self Help Cinema HypnoBooks:
or an astounding leap forward into the blindingly obvious.
Hypnosis has been successfully used therapeutically for many years as has
self-hypnosis. This less common behaviour-changing technique requires some
self knowledge and the ability to focus attention. Movies have become a universal
means of inducing very narrowly focussed attention. So why not combine the
two? Susie did just that with the Self Help Cinema Hypnobook series.
The HypnoBooks. Each HypnoBook title has it’s
own 60 minute DVD that integrates Susie's commentary with enthralling multilayered
images gently flowing with natural rhythms. The spoken word and the screen
images synchronize with a slow natural heartbeat, a picture and sound combination
that produces a very powerful, calming effect to help unlock the power of
the mind.
