Hypnosis
Hypnosis works because it allows communication directly to your unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is the mind that runs your body even though you are unaware of it, i.e. it keeps your heart beating, and it tells the body to keep breathing while you are asleep at night! It has your very best interests at heart! Hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind and speaks directly to the unconcious mind, allowing negative habits and behaviours to be overcome (lack of confidence, over-eating, smoking, etc.) and new positive habits and behaviours to be adopted.
We normally use hypnosis in conjunction with Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Time Line Therapy™ / Creating Your Future Techniques™ because this produces results much faster. Hypnosis is a marvellous way of cementing positive changes already made by the client and for performance enhancing change.
As your hypnotherapist, we are here as your personal guide to cementing positive change.
During hypnosis you will usually go into a light to medium trance that is very similar to the waking state, only much more relaxed. You will be aware of everything happening around you and you can choose to come out of the trance at any point during the proceedings if you so wish. Hypnosis works for everyone but research shows that the more intelligent, open-minded, creative and imaginative you are, the better it will work for you.
Hypnosis cannot make you do anything you do not want to do. Therapeutic Hypnosis is nothing like the Paul McKenna style stage hypnosis that is carried out for entertainment purposes (the people who are chosen to go up on stage during these shows are picked out mainly because they are the sort of people who would be willing to dance on stage like a chicken whether they are hypnotised or not!). Your critical conscious mind will not allow you to do anything that is stupid or dangerous or that goes against your values.
For each client, we design a bespoke hypnotherapy session which focuses entirely on the issues you wish to address. This personalised, targeted approach ensures the best outcomes for our clients.
