ABOUT HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy is a solution focused therapy that makes use of psycho-dynamic techniques in order to achieve swift and effective release of symptoms.

An eclectic range of psychotherapeutic approaches are drawn on in hypnotherapy with the central focus being to facilitate the resolution of conflict material at the unconscious level of the mind.
As well as orienting the client towards gaining insight, the hypnotherapist also works with the client to develop strategies for change.

There are two avenues of treatment in hypnotherapy; Hypnoanalysis and Suggestion therapy.

Note: Hypnotherapy cannot be used to treat epileps or any fom of psychosis.

HYPNOANALYSIS

Hypnoanalysis is solution-focused, brief psychotherapy which makes use of Freud's free association technique.

The use of hypnosis as a therapeutic tool speeds up the analytical process and facilitates the recall of memories and feelings.

In the first session I will introduce you to the process of free association by using neutral examples unrelated to the problem, until you become familiar with the method and what is required of you during the sessions.

Sometimes unpleasant feelings can be experienced, but with the help of the hypnotherapist you can be taught how to successfully release and transform these negative feelings. Hypnosis provides an excellent environment for exposing the mental programs underlying negative habits or destructive behaviour.

In the heightened state of awareness, you can draw on the resources within your mind to challenge ineffective learning and negative behaviour. You will learn how to associate into the part of you that wants to create more effective, positive outcomes so that you can replace previous negative responses with positive alternatives that will actually benefit you.

On completion of hypno-analysis, many people report feeling an increased ability to be self reliant and greater personal confidence. You will be able to deal much more effectively with those things that used to be a problem for you before.

SUGGESTION THERAPY

You set the target and suggestion therapy concentrates your thoughtsand actions into a one pointed lock and retrieve mode.

Learn how to put your critical mind aside and relax very, very deeply while you listen to powerful concentrated suggestions designed to program you for personal success.

Suggestion therapy helps you activate the force of motivation within you so that can turn your goals into reality.

As you focus on the positive outcomes you desire, you will feel and think and experience yourself as having already accomplished your goal. You will instill positive thoughts and build your confidence, enabling you to express all of your potential.

In the heightened state of mind awareness experienced in hypnosis you can draw on the resources within your mind for learning and positive behaviour and thereby replace ineffective habitual ways of responding with positive alternatives that will actually benefit you.
