How Hypnotherapy Works
Hypnotherapy works by bypassing, the
usual conscious resistance, and accessing the subconscious mind. By doing
this we can begin to change your old limiting beliefs without the usual
conscious mind, butting in.
Suggestions will be used which at one
level can generally be understood by the conscious mind but which on the
unconscious level will convey something much more powerful, and appropriate
to the clients needs. It is therefore important for anyone experiencing
Hypnosis not to try and analyze everything they hear the therapist telling
them, as for much of the time, the actual message can only be fully
understood by the subconscious inner mind. I also believe in teaching
clients personal development techniques, so future problems can be dealt
with easily.
How do we do that?
My voice will help you relax quickly
and easily, using a relaxing tonality and words to help you let go. Using
relaxation we can break down the physical tension so that the mental
relaxation can follow. While the conscious mind is distracted powerful
positive suggestions can be given for your betterment. After a short period
of time the positive messages begin to gain a solid foundation, and start to
cancel out the old negative beliefs. Visualization techniques will also be
used to help change your own perceptions of your old limiting thoughts.
Can a Hypnotherapist
control our minds?
Absolutely not. All a Hypnotherapist
is, is a facilitator of change that the client uses to achieve the desired
outcome. The idea of Hypnotherapy as a mysterious phenomenon is not true, in
reality all Hypnosis is self Hypnosis and the person experiencing it is the
one in control. Nobody gets dragged into my office. People call me, show up
and tell me what to do for them. You could say that they are controlling me!
All I do is give them what they ask for. Movies and TV dramas have a lot to
answer for!
Can a person get stuck
in Hypnosis?
No. There has never ever been a
serious case of anyone who has been stuck in Hypnosis, and just recently a
judge ruled that there was no evidence at all that Hypnosis is in any way
dangerous to persons in any way shape or form. In fact we all go in
naturally induced Trances every day, when driving, watching TV, or just day-
dreaming, all Hypnosis does is utilize that state to achieve the required
change that the client wants.
Can every body be Hypnotized?
Everybody who wants to be hypnotized
can be, it has nothing to do with whether your strong minded or not, its
about the persons willingness to work with me to achieve the results what
they want. Even if a person is a bit skeptical it doesn't matter as its only
natural, what does matter is that the person wants it to work with me and
will give it his/her best shot to make it work.
Is it safe?
I recently watched a news
report where they said that there are roughly 5000 deaths every year in the
UK due to medical blunders. Yet we all trust the doctors and surgeons when
we go into hospital don’t we. In contrast there has NEVER been ANY
deaths due to hypnosis in its entire history. In fact I have never heard of
any case of negative side effects due to hypnotherapy in my entire time in
this profession. Not many professions can say that! With that in mind I
think its fair to say that hypnotherapy is probably one of the safest forms
of treatment known.
What about Stage Hypnotists?
What about them? They
are nothing to do with hypnotherapy whatsoever. They are totally separate
professions. We (hypnotherapists) are not responsible for what goes on at a
hypnotic show in Majorca. If somebody wants to go on the stage and allow a
self taught non medical professional to monkey around with their minds then
its their business. Hypnotherapy is safe, I can’t say the same for stage
hypnosis. Any bad stories we hear about hypnosis are about stage hypnosis.

What does it feel like
to be Hypnotized?
The
only
feeling you have when you are Hypnotized, is a feeling of
relaxation. At no time will you ever feel out of control, under my control
or under anything!! In fact you are always aware of where you are, what I am
saying and you are always in control throughout the whole time. Rather than
Hypnosis being a magic spell it is simply an effective clinical procedure.
In fact all Hypnosis is self Hypnosis, You simply allow your self to let go
and just relax. Forget about the stage Hypnotists they're nothing to do with
us!
How long will it take?
Unlike conventional therapy like
Psychiatry or Psychoanalysis, which can take a few years, Hypnotherapy is a
quick solution based therapy, which deals with the problem immediately.
Treatments are usually only one to five sessions depending on the problem.
Will it work?
For therapy to work you have to want
it to work, and you have to be open-minded. The truth is, for therapy to
work you have to be committed to trying something different. If you think
you'll try it for one session to see if it works you'll be wasting your
time. (You wouldn't only do one day of a week’s antibiotic course would
you!!) For therapy to be successful you have to follow the course and do the
exercises I show you. If you wont do that then forget it!
Can I do it?
Think positively and you will get
positive results. If you go into this thinking you haven't got the willpower
or strength to succeed then your beliefs will govern your actions, and
you'll get the outcome you predicted for yourself. Basically the more effort
you put in the more you'll get out.
Remember every change
you've made happened in a moment, what took time was getting ready to
change!!!
