Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful approach that accesses the subconscious, fostering positive changes and promoting overall well-being.
What Conditions Can Hypnotherapy Address?
Hypnotherapy is used to address a wide range of issues, including managing stress, overcoming phobias, improving sleep, addressing anxiety and depression, managing pain, enhancing self-confidence, and aiding in habit changes like smoking cessation or weight loss. It's also utilized in some cases for enhancing performance in various areas of life, such as sports or academics.
What does curative hypnotherapy feel like?
During therapy the patient feels deeply relaxed and calm, it is very pleasant and enjoyable, similar to daydreaming or meditation, only your awareness will actually be heightened. Curative Hypnotherapy mustn't be confused with stage hypnotism where the participant appears to have no control. This is entirely misleading; stage hypnotism is a magic trick based on hypnosis. At every point in curative hypnotherapy, the patient is in complete control and aware of what is happening. During therapy, we don’t make suggestions for the patient to follow but if we were to, the patient could quite easily ignore it and choose to return to a normal state of awareness, terminating the session if they wished.
How does hypnotherapy treat these conditions?
Curative hypnotherapy offers a pathway to accessing the subconscious mind, empowering patients to uncover the triggers behind negative symptoms. By revisiting pivotal events, individuals can reevaluate their responses, leading to the resolution of issues and symptoms, all without the need to disclose intricate past details to the therapist, aligning with the principles of 'content-free' hypnotherapy that respects patient privacy while facilitating effective healing.
What does our subconscious mind do?
The subconscious mind controls aspects of our behaviour and perceptions that we are not consciously aware of. Most importantly for therapy, the subconscious is responsible for our emotional responses and the autonomic processes e.g. the digestive, endocrine and nervous systems that lead to the correct functioning of the immune system and all of our bodily functions. So if we want to change the functioning of any of these we need to work with the subconscious.
Does Curative Hypnotherapy Require Belief to Work?
No, unlike conventional medicine where there is great belief and therefore significant placebo effect, with curative hypnotherapy the normal approach is one of ‘giving it a try’. There is therefore little placebo effect but this hasn’t affected the success rates found in research which can be sourced either from our research page or from following the links on our further research.
