HYNOTHERAPY

Train your performance butterflies

to fly in formation

Hypnotherapy is an immensely valuable approach which works on the body’s own defence patterns to bring about change. The use of deep relaxation to reduce the driving control of the conscious mind allows the subconscious mind to accept change. The subconscious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure but crucially contains memories of every life event that you have experienced. Depending on the experience the subconscious mind will establish a reactive behaviour. This response may be composed of many competing influences with a resultant misbehaviour attached to the stimulus. Phobias, Habits, Sleep difficulties, excessive weight gain, Stress, self-harm are examples of mismatched responses. Hypnotherapy uses suggestion with the subconscious part of the mind to reroute the out o f date response behaviours into acceptable positive outcomes.

There are many negative associations with Hypnosis which are unfounded. Stage Hypnosis is not Hypnotherapy. In hypnotherapy you are free to accept or reject suggestions, you are aware of everything that is happening around you, you are in complete control and can stop a session at any time, you are not asleep. You will feel relaxed and comfortable, you will always be perfectly safe and secure, you will be able to drive after a session, you will have a sense of having worked hard emotionally and feel positive about your future. You will become aware of progressive changes in attitude, behaviour and attention as the subconscious mind reroutes the brain neurons into new pathways of behaviour.

Complimentary Approaches

Complimentary approaches are a group of strategies that can be used in conjunction with Counselling and Hypnotherapy. They focus attention on changing immediate troublesome behaviours. Stress, Phobia,  Panic attacks, over eating are dramatic responses to a specific stimulus. Taking control of these unwanted behaviours and interrupting old thinking patterns and feelings,  reduces the harmful responses that have developed.  Interruption can be achieved by  strategies from Neuro Linguistic programming, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Mindfulness, Self-hypnosis, EMDR with Hypnosis. The different approaches have differing rationales for their effectiveness, they have all been shown to positively benefit individuals. 

These strategies can be integrated throughout your therapy enhancing positive self development.
