Clinical Hypnosis &

Stress Management
 

Hypnosis is beneficial for anyone who would like to develop or change particular issues in their life.  A stressful modern lifestyle can create many symptoms which can be addressed by hypnosis:

Hypnosis is.....
 

....simply an altered state of awareness that we naturally enter many times each day. Hypnosis is focusing on the unconscious mind's activities rather than the conscious mind. The unconscious is the part of the mind that creates and controls our thinking patterns.

Sitting on a train not remembering the last 5 stops, or day dreaming are good examples of the natural hypnotic state. Everybody needs to drift into these states to allow the conscious mind's experiences to update the unconscious mind. This is sometimes called the filing system which stores every second of your life. By tapping into this system directly in hypnosis, you can retrieve and develop the information so that the unconscious mind stores it in a more appropriate way. Carefully worded suggestions are directed to your unconscious mind to develop the desired change. This new information is then available to be filtered back to the conscious mind in its new format. Hence a new healthy habit is affirmed!

It may seem too simple but that is exactly it!

Hypnosis because.....
 

....the unconscious mind is available 24 hours a day and yet we rarely use it to its full ability. Working hypnotically you can achieve amazing results that far outweigh the capacity of the conscious mind. Hypnosis is the most effective method of dealing with negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are stopping a person from truly doing what they deserve to feel and do.

If your conscious mind wants to do one thing and your unconscious wants to do another, the unconscious mind will always win the argument. Hence the word willpower does not exist. It just means your unconscious mind has created a habit and through hypnosis we can change that habit to a more appropriate one. No long term behavioural change can occur without the consent of the unconscious mind. During hypnosis we can confirm this change. Hence the reason why hypnosis works!

By developing a plan about what you want to achieve before the hypnosis, we can then tap into your unconscious mind by utilising wonderful suggestions, checking for any resistance to change that in the past was blocking your real potential.

How does it feel to be hypnotised?

Being hypnotised is a very pleasant feeling. People comment that they feel relaxed, safe and very calm.  All hypnosis is self hypnosis. You will always be in control and any suggestions that are not appropriate unconsciously will not be accepted just the same as in the conscious state.

During hypnosis you may choose to listen or to drift away. Whatever you feel or think is appropriate.

Any concerns you may have, rest assured we will discuss them before the hypnosis, so you can truly enjoy the time without any fears or misconceptions.

You will not speak at all while in hypnosis. My firm belief is that it is your time with you and your unconscious mind not mine! The only thing you need to do is to prepare yourself for wonderful healthy change.

The benefits of hypnosis are endless. If you have any questions I am more than happy to talk with you about hypnotherapy and the wonderful benefits you will feel and truly experience.
