Why is Hypnosis Used?
In our version of Clinical Hypnotherapy, which incorporates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the power of suggestion is used in order to facilitate lasting changes in your life and experience. You need to change how you think and feel, and hypnotherapy will help you do that effectively and easily.
During a session, beneficial suggestions will be given to assist your mind, which has been made receptive by hypnosis, to let go of negative or harmful habits or ideas. Easy to learn techniques, including self hypnosis, will also be demonstrated and taught so that you can continue to reinforce improvements outside sessions, and be ready to instantly counter any stress.
Is Hypnotherapy Safe?
Hypnotherapy is completely safe. No ill effects have ever been established from its use.
Both the appointment at our Clinic and the contents of the hypnotherapy sessions are kept totally confidential. The client hears and remembers what is said, and cannot be made to do anything against his or her will. It is not possible for the client to be "stuck" in hypnosis, or to do or say anything he/she does not want to. Stage hypnotists have been responsible for many misconceptions concerning hypnosis. They are after all in the business of entertainment, rather than therapy. Clinical Hypnotherapy is very different from stage hypnosis.
Why Have Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy adds to, and does not replace, your Doctor's treatment. Having said that, many people believe that the way we deal with those who have problems in the western world is frequently inappropriate. We go and see a medical practitioner, talk to him or her for a few minutes, and usually come out with a prescription for a product of the pharmaceutical industry, such as ineffective nicotine replacement therapy. Often, because the consultation is so short, and psychological factors not taken into account, the true basis of the problem is neither discovered nor is the solution found This is unsatisfactory, because many issues brought to the GP are psychological in origin and require a remedy which accesses and influences your powerful subconscious mind to change its programming.
