EXPERIENCE FEAR-FREE LIVING WITH HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy presents various benefits in addressing fears and phobias by accessing the subconscious mind, identifying triggers, and promoting relaxation. Through the induction of a relaxed state, hypnotherapy can help individuals reframe negative thought patterns associated with their phobias, leading to a more balanced perspective. Additionally, hypnotherapy empowers individuals by enhancing self-control.

Accessing the subconscious mind: Hypnosis provides access to the subconscious mind, where memories, emotions, and automatic responses are stored. Phobias often have underlying causes or triggers rooted in past experiences, and hypnotherapy aims to uncover and address these subconscious influences.

Reframing perceptions and responses: Using NLP and Hypnosis we can reframe the negative thought patterns and associations related to the phobia. This may involve changing the way you perceive the feared object or situation and alt your emotional response to it.

Desensitisation: Hypnotherapy can help desensitise individuals to the feared stimulus by gradually exposing them to it in a controlled and relaxed state. This process, can help reduce anxiety and fear responses associated with the phobia.

Empowerment and positive suggestions: Hypnotherapy can help you develop a more positive mindset and outlook regarding the feared object or situation.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the connections between neurological processes, language, and behavioral patterns learned through experience. When applied to the treatment of fears and phobias, NLP offers several potential benefits.

In particular, utilising the Rewind Technique within NLP to treat fears and phobias introduces several potential advantages. This therapeutic approach, incorporating language, visualisation, and cognitive restructuring, reprograms the thought patterns and behavioural responses to fear stimuli. The Rewind Technique, facilitates the identification and modification of limiting beliefs, helping the client to effectively manage and overcome their fears.

For the fear or phobia, assuming you adhere to the program as instructed, you can typically anticipate a substantial positive outcome within 1-3 sessions in most cases.

The conscious mind represents a relatively small portion of our cognitive processes, often estimated to be around 5-10% of our mental activity. This is the part of our mind responsible for immediate awareness, decision-making, and active thinking.

Conversely, the unconscious mind, which includes various levels of awareness, memories, emotions, and automatic processes, is believed to make up the majority, accounting for roughly 90-95% of our mental activity. It plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, often outside our immediate awareness.

Hypnotherapy, as I practice it, amalgamates elements of Strategic Psychotherapy and NLP, all facilitated through the use of Clinical Hypnosis. This blended approach enables a more relaxed and expedited pathway to absorb new information or insights.

Hypnosis is a state where you are relaxed and your mind is open to take on new suggestions. Hypnosis occurs when the brain hoovers in-between the states know as Alpha (relaxation) and Theta (deep mediation and light sleep), this is where you have a strong internal focus. If you have ever practised meditation or mindfulness, or found yourself day-dreaming, zoning out while driving, running or become absorbed in a movie, Netflix or a book, you will have already been in a hypnotic trance state.

Everyone does hypnosis in their own way, some find it deeply relaxing, others don’t and that’s ok. Nearly everyone can be hypnotised. We go into this hypnotic, trance state regularly throughout our day just doing our routine everyday tasks.

There are a number of difference:

It is a brief therapy, which means unlike many therapies we would look to have a significant outcome in 1-3 sessions for fears and phobias, not 20+ sessions.

It is directive, we don’t wait for you to come up with solution, we are goal oriented, and by working together we will find out how you are doing your problem and how best to resolve it.

We are focussed on the present and future, if you want to rehash your past and understand why you do something this is not the right therapy for you. Your past is of course important but it is unchangeable, and so to make lasting change we will focus how you are doing your problem and what you can change in your present and future
