HYPNOTHERAPY.........
The hypnotic trance is often described as ‘very relaxed, yet fully alert’…It isn’t the same as going to sleep, so you’re aware and in control of everything you do, and the state usually feels very pleasant….in fact, it’s a very natural thing that we all do....it’s very similar to daydreaming, and statistics say that most of us do it every 90 minutes! It’s the same as when you get so engrossed in a book, or a film that you have no awareness of what’s happening around you. One of the big myths of hypnotherapy is that you are in the therapists’ control…but nothing could be further from the truth.... all hypnosis is really self – hypnosis, and nothing can be done without your permission, so you are guided gently by the hypnotherapists’ voice to whatever you need to do to resolve your particular issue, which you will be helped to discover for yourself. Because all the answers come from your own experience...control is handed back to YOU...this is an incredibly liberating experience...to be able to feel in control of your own life again, to be back in the driving seat...with YOU being the one to decide what happens next!
The hypnotherapy session will usually last for about an hour, to an hour and a half (smoking cessation is a little longer), and will involve a detailed discussion of your problem on your first visit. I aim to identify and help solve your problem as quickly and effectively as possible, using a variety of techniques and tools, including NLP, TFT, analytical work, as well as hypnosis. Afterwards, you will usually feel relaxed and refreshed, and will feel benefits from the therapy session almost immediately. You are normally given some self – hypnosis and/or NLP techniques that you can take home and use whenever you need to.
Hypnotherapy is now recognised as the No1 complementary treatment by the NHS, because it is so powerful at solving a wide range of conditions; these range from addictions, to self-confidence issues, and deep-seated past traumas. It's known to be 3 times as effective as nicotine patches in helping to stop smoking, and keep stopped.
