What is Hypnotherapy?
An effective and lasting remedy that with your participation is capable of rapidly and safely treat a wide range of problems that can be holding us back from leading our lives as fully as possible. Hypnotherapy has undergone significant, rigorous research which shows it is an effective therapy in dealing with negative thinking, distressing feelings, anxiety and stress.
It has also useful in helping overcome unhealthy habits, addictions and debilitating phobias as well as improving confidence and self esteem.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a pleasant, enhanced state of increased focus and relaxation. In this heightened state of awareness the mind is able to accept positive suggestions. When the logical, rational and analytical part of the mind disengages and the creative, intuitive part that involves the imagination becomes more prominent, we are more open to suggestion. In this state the hypnotherapist working with the client, can help initiate positive and lasting changes in thinking and behaviour.
If we change how we think, we can change our world. Certainly the way we view the world. This idea can become reality if we learn more about our thinking. We can learn to engage the mind in new healthier ways by training it with self hypnosis.
What happens in Hypnotherapy?
During hypnosis the active conscious mind is relaxed and this allows a deeper part to be accessed, enabling you to think outside of the box. Without actually realising it we are in hypnosis several times a day. One of the most common examples is when we are driving. Many people will recall times when they drove for a long time without remembering consciously about it. When you are concentrating deeply on something, time appears to stand still.
Being fully absorbed like this and losing track of time is similar to being in hypnosis. The experience of deep absorption is very pleasant, when you are able to let the critical mind rest for a while. It is said the chattering mind can think something like 95,000 thoughts a day, many of them old and repetitive, and in hypnosis this mental activity is quietened.
Then the part of the mind that involves our emotions, imagination and memories, takes over. Hypnotherapy enables us to connect more directly to this part of the mind often known as the subconscious. Working with the hypnotherapist we are given tools to overcome inner barriers to help change our out dated thoughts and behaviour to more healthy and positive ways of thinking and living in a more fulfilled way. At the same time you are likely to feel calm, peacefully relaxed and at ease as you experience hypnosis.
Treatments with C B H
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is one of the core models of hypnotic psychotherapy.
Cognitive therapy is based on the idea that both distorted and unrealistic thoughts produce unhealthy negative emotions like anger, stress and anxiety. Learning to think about your problems in a more positive and realistic way in hypnotherapy, can change the way you feel, often with profound effects. Behavioural therapy is based on the notion that you must acknowledge your fears before you can conquer them. Hypnotherapy can help you learn how to safely and effectively deal with irrational fears getting in the way of productive living.
How can Hypnotherapy help you?
Our imagination has immense power over our lives. It is the key to changing both our past, our future and our feelings about life. Our thoughts are influenced by our belief system, both positive and negative. In hypnotherapy it is possible understand how to transcend our limiting beliefs and reinforce our positive attributes. With practice we can obtain greater clarity and more freedom from the restrictions our negative thinking places on our lives.
When we reach a point of acknowledgement that we really do want to change, we begin to take steps to create a different world for ourselves. Through hypnotherapy we can learn how to create a more expanded view of our own potential and make the changes to our thinking and behaviour to achieve the life we want.
