Hypnotherapy and how it begins:
Sessions typically start with the client sharing their reason for seeking support, and then progressing to a relaxing hypnosis. The first appointment or Intake is a 2 hour session, with continued appointments being 1 hour duration. Clients are encouraged to record their own hypnosis for continued practice between sessions.
Hypnosis works by inducing a trance-like state, which opens the mind to suggestion, making the client receptive to new ideas and behaviors. During hypnosis, the client is guided into a state of deep relaxation, where they can more easily access their own subconscious mind, making therapy more effective.
This state of consciousness allows the trained hypnotherapist to suggest new ways of thinking or behaving to the client, and can help them overcome issues such as anxiety, depression, or addiction. It is important to note that hypnosis is not a magical or mystical practice, but rather a scientifically recognized tool that has been used for many years to help people make positive life changes.
The way hypnosis happens:
- Slow deep breathing and progressive relaxation;
- Guided imagery, relevant to the problem space, used to tap into the unconscious mind;
- Suggestions are made here using the information from strategic questioning during pre-hypnosis/counselling phase;
- Client is brought out of trance state;
- Post-hypnotic suggestions are anchored.
Where Hypnosis can help:
Hypnosis has been demonstrated to benefit many areas including:
- Depression
- Stress and anxiety, including performance anxiety
- Insomnia
- Pain management
- Phobias
- Addictions (smoking, drinking, online shopping, etc)
- Relationships
- Procrastination and Goal Setting
- Post surgery recovery
- Weight loss
- And so much more…
A typical appointment involves a combination of Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnosis aiming to bring out the best in the client, by leaving behind negative patterns and/or habits that no longer meet the client’s needs. As the client, you will transition into a stronger, happier, more effective person, able to access previously untapped positive qualities that were hidden in the unconscious. The extent of individual success depends entirely on your commitment to change, and your willingness to let go of or unlearn past negative habits.
Brief Strategic Psychotherapy has evolved from the study of psychological problems, to the study of therapeutic solutions, aiming to eradicate negative patterns that have formed over time. Often the patterns were an attempt to cope but ultimately maintained the issue, often making it worse.
Using permissive language, imagery and metaphor the therapist will strategically guide the client toward identifying dysfunctional thought patterns causing emotional blocks, bringing the client to a new self-awareness, and then instilling long-lasting and desirable change.
This re-organisation of beliefs and perceptions is how change occurs, ultimately shifting the client forward again.
