What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a collaboration process between you and the therapist. You will play an active collaborative role in this process by just using your imagination – The Hypnotherapist will use a variety of hypnotic skills and processes in order for you to achieve your positive intended outcome and bring about positive emotional and behavioural changes, aided by suggestion.
Hypnotic suggestion is a way of experiencing helpful ideas at a level deep enough to directly influence emotions and behaviour.
Psychological and emotional problems are often as a result of negative thinking; hypnotherapy aims to encourage (“suggest”) positive ideas that lead to improvement.
Hypnosis can also be described as an increased ability to focus on a single idea or notion which will allow the part of the mind we sometimes call the “Subconcious” or “Unconcious mind” to re-focus on your desired positive outcome.
For Hypnosis to be as effective as possible, you must be motivated, have positive expectations and allow yourself to be part of the hypnotic experience.
Thousands of positive experimental and clinical research studies on hypnosis have been published and it’s been recognised as an effective treatment by the British Medical Association (BMA) since the 1950s.
What hypnosis is not…
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep or unconsciousness.
Hypnosis is not a state of mind control. You cannot be made to do anything against your will.
Hypnosis is completely safe when used in a responsible and professional manner. You can’t get “stuck” in hypnosis.
Comedy stage hypnosis is very different to clinical hypnotherapy and should be viewed as such.
Hypnosis doesn’t increase the accuracy of your memory and can’t enable exact re-experiencing of events.
Can I be hypnotised?
Everyone can, in principle, be hypnotised if they wish to be. It’s been shown to help if you relax, think positively, and imagine the things being suggested.
What can hypnosis be used to treat?
Hypnosis can help with a wide range of different issues. Research tends to provide most support for its use in:
Treating fears or phobias
Anxiety management
Pain management
Overcoming sleep disorders
Treating certain psychosomatic or stress-related illnesses
Conquering habits such as nail-biting or smoking
Personal development in areas such as performance and public speaking.
It can also be used to treat a wide range of other conditions on an individual basis.
There are also issues and ailments that cannot and should not be treated with hypnosis – I’ll advise you if that’s the case.
I look forward to working with you to achieve your positive outcome.
