What can hypnotherapy do for me?
People have been pondering and arguing over hypnosis for more than 200 years, but science has yet to fully explain how it actually happens. We see what a person does under hypnosis, but it isn't clear why he or she does it. This puzzle is really a small piece in a much bigger puzzle: how the human mind works.
The key to understanding the general characteristics of Hypnosis is that it is natural for us as humans to be able to go into trance therefore Clinical Hypnotherapy is very simply the application of this natural trance state for a therapeutic purpose. Hypnotherapy can be combined with other therapies extremely successfully and I will often use a variety of techniques including EFT, NLP and Counselling skills to assist the client to overcome emotional or anxiety related problems.
Often clients wish to be able to achieve something, which they currently perceive as being impossible, such as overcoming a phobia or an addiction or unwanted habit such as smoking. Increasingly Hypnotherapy is being successfully used to alleviate stress symptoms.
Hypnotherapy can help with performance anxiety whilst helping us to be more resilient to performance related pressure. Providing valuable assistance with almost all psychosomatic conditions, migraine, stress, digestive problems including irritable bowel syndrome and muscular tension. Athletes and sports people also find that Hypnotherapy can greatly assist with mental rehearsal, concentration and goal achievement.
Clients are sometimes a little wary to begin with since they imagine that the therapy involves them losing control and possibly revealing their innermost secrets! In fact, they are fully in control and can bring themselves out of trance at any time if they so wish. Once therapy begins clients are usually enjoying the relaxed state so much that they want it to continue after the session has finished! |
