Therapies Explained

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a normal and natural state of mind. You experience hypnosis many, many times during the day, and have done so every day of your entire life .

For example….

• Just before you fall asleep and just after you wake up you go through hypnosis.
• If you drive long distances and just find yourself arriving home safely without any real memory of the journey, then you probably entered what is known as the ‘drivers trance' (which is perfectly safe).
• If you read a book and get engrossed in the storyline, feel the emotions of the character, than that too is hypnosis.
• If you watch an advert a couple of times and find yourself favoring a particular product (over an equally viable option) then that too is a form of hypnosis.

Everybody of average intelligence can and do enter hypnosis . Nobody can be hypnotized against their will and it is impossible to make you do something you do not want to do while in hypnosis.

Because you have experienced hypnosis so many countless times already, you will not feel anything different when you are with me and in hypnosis , than what you would normally experience when you are relaxed at home.

Hypnosis therefore is not a therapy - it is simply a ‘state of mind' – a relaxed, safe, comfortable experience where your brainwaves have slowed down a little bit. That is why it is useful as a therapeutic tool/aid because when your brain is relaxed you have greater access to your creativity and memory bank.

What makes hypnotherapy a ‘therapy', is the techniques used when a person is in hypnosis.

The two techniques when used in hypnosis that can create lasting and permanent change are called ‘suggestion hypnotherapy', and ‘pure hypno analysis'.

1. Suggestion hypnotherapy is a very simple and enjoyable process, where a person is given verbal suggestions ( e.g ‘you feel confident and capable speaking in front of people' ) to change while they are hypnotized. This form of therapy works wonderfully well for very simple problems like smoking cessation, nail biting and sometimes weight loss. Because the person is hypnotized the suggestions are much more likely to take effect and create a change in that person's life.
   
2. However, if the problem is more complicated / deeply ingrained, then a course of pure hypno-analysis would be recommended. This consists usually of six to nine weekly sections where a person gets to and resolves the underlying subconscious emotional cause of the problem. The results are immediate, permanent and liberating.

Imagine we have a bag of unresolved emotional experiences from the first 15 years of our lives. This unresolved emotion gives rise to a constant amount of subconscious stress . We carry this around with us all the time and add to it now and again as we get older. In therapy, every week we empty out a little of what is contained in the emotional bag and at the end of therapy the major emotional experiences are gone out of our system along with whatever difficulty/symptom they were creating in us.

Pure Hypno-Analysis is an entirely natural therapeutic process. If you had some time off and just sat in a quiet room, with no distractions and with someone providing your meals, you would naturally start to daydream and enter a reverie. Little everyday experiences and memories would naturally float into your mind. If you were to continue living like that for a few weeks/ months then you would, by the mind's natural built in therapeutic process, resolve the vast majority of your bottled up emotions.

Most people however cannot afford the luxury of taking time out to be completely alone with their thoughts, so Pure Hypno-Analysis is a technique to aid in this natural process, where once a week we meet up to focus the mind on the task of getting better and reach that moment of enlightening liberation safely together.

So if you would like to create that change inside yourself , to be free of your problem once and for all and forever – then pick up the phone and call for your free consultation (01 - 4954841).
