What
is Hypnotherapy?
With its ability to enhance the power of suggestion, Hypnotherapy,
the therapeutic application of Hypnosis, effectively treats
a variety of problems. Hypnotherapy has been successful in
alleviating a range of physical and psychological issues including
chronic or situational anxiety, tension and depression; phobias
and compulsions; pain from surgery, pain from recent injuries
or pain stemming from a chronic health condition. Hypnotherapy
can help break an addiction to food, smoking, alcohol, or drugs;
steady the heartbeat, bring down blood pressure and much more.
All hypnosis is self hypnosis. Hypnotherapy is effective if
an individual wants to be hypnotized. It is not possible to
hypnotize an individual if they choose not to be. However it
is possible to hypnotize an individual who believes they can’t
be hypnotized. A hypnotic state is a natural state; everyone
has the ability to enter a state of hypnosis.
Some people are concerned that if they are hypnotized they
will not "wake up" from this state. In reality, hypnosis
creates a state in which your mind is more alert and aware than
in your non-hypnotic state. Although the body is deeply relaxed
and extremely comfortable at no time are you "asleep".
Hypnosis is collaboration between the client and Hypnotherapist.
Clients have the ability to bring themselves out of trance
at any time if they choose. It is important to work with a
skilled Hypnotherapist whom you trust. This allows you to experience
the full benefits of the hypnotic state.
What
makes Hypnotherapy treatment so effective?
Hypnotherapy is so effective because your subconscious mind,
or emotional center, stores all of your earliest emotional
imprints, both positive and negative. These imprints create
the beliefs that you have about yourself. These beliefs along
with your unique way of processing information create the patterns
at work in your life today.
We have all had the experience of seeing a "pattern" at
work in our lives that we feel unable to change. Perhaps you
have difficulty establishing healthy relationships, you have
repeated conflict in your work environment, or continued "bad
luck" with finances. Perhaps you struggle with addictive
behavior, low self worth or chronic health problems. The basis
of all your experiences originates in your subconscious mind
and the "programming" you have created based on this
subconscious information. Working with these subconscious beliefs
by modifying negative programming allows you to break these old
patterns and create positive, long-term change.
How
is Hypnotherapy different from Traditional Psychotherapy?
While Psychotherapy offers tools for understanding your limitations
and blocks, Hypnotherapy offers the tools for change. Although
Psychotherapy can assist with insight and understanding, psychotherapy
alone is often unable to change the problem behavior, as many
long-term psychotherapy clients will attest. As a Psychotherapist
I value the process of understanding and insight. However,
the outcome of change is equally important. Hypnotherapy and
NLP creates change in behavior, by working on the deeper level
of your subconscious mind.
Hypnotherapy is also designed as short-term treatments, as compared
with the longer-term treatment seen with Psychotherapy. Most
issues can be resolved in one to five treatment sessions.
