What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind. It’s like the trance of daydreaming, when awareness moves from the conscious level to an inner space where feelings and memories are stored. This subconscious area of the mind generates and holds thoughts, and manages the running of the body without conscious input.

Thoughts are inseparable from feelings.
Thoughts are chemical recipes generated by our bodies from the beginning of our lives. You will already be aware that various thoughts can make you feel happy, sad, anxious, romantic, etc. When we are children our authority figures tell and show us, that things are good for us or not. These adults will pass on to us a whole spectrum of their own thoughts and feelings, ranging from their creative passions to their prejudices and fears. They will also tell us all their impressions of us, good or bad. Therefore we grow up thinking/feeling that we are who they told us we are, and sometimes those thoughts can burden and challenge us for many, many years.

 

Every thought has a physical response.


For example:

when a wonderful thought pops-up ‘happy chemicals’ are produced and quickly circulate around the body creating that ‘wow, it’s great to be alive feeling’.


fearful thoughts produce the chemicals which create acute anxiety and depression, for example to some people even the words spiders, flying, thunderstorms, can cause considerable physical and mental distress.

 

Enjoy testing your thoughts and the feelings that immediately occur.

Your thoughts feelings and memories are generated and stored in your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is highly receptive from birth, which is why some old perceptions need new understandings attached to them. Humans remember the feelings created by an event, at the age they experienced it. It is recognised that people carry their inner child. Over time people mature and want to live happy fulfilling lives and yet can find themselves held back by negative feelings from their memories. At an extreme level these can result in life harming patterns of behaviour such as smoking, alcohol and drug abuse.

 

Mind over matter


The body has an ingenious amount of healing ability through subconscious pathways and by using the power of the mind. There is an increasing amount of scientific evidence that there are numerous physical benefits in being positive and focussed. The profound relaxation experienced in hypnosis generates chemicals of healing and balm enabling the body to do its perfect work. Laughter also has a very beneficial effect on the body and has been scientifically recognised to generate well being and healing responses.

 

What is hypnotherapy?

Skilled therapists use both conversational and trance induced hypnosis to benefit the client.

However, people commonly think of Hypnotherapy as a process where-by the client is guided by a hypnotherapist into a trance state, to provide therapeutic support through suggestion and if necessary, regression. The trance state by-passes the analytical conscious mind. This allows the subconscious mind to process thoughts and feelings.

Hypnotherapy aims to guide clients into re-programming their negative behavioural and physiological patterns, such as

 

How does hypnotherapy work?


The success of hypnotherapy depends on both the client and therapist taking responsibility to do their best. The client does the ‘work’. The therapist uses hypnosis to guide the worker.

For example; A client may present with an ‘Empty Habit’ which is a pattern of behaviour that used to have a purpose that has lapsed, although the behaviour remains established. Smoking may have been started so that an individual would be accepted by their peer group. Years later that group has moved, or the individual has but the smoking habit remained. The individual realises now that in today’s society people who have positive self-esteem, value themselves and their health, have no interest in being a smoker or with mixing with smokers. However often conscious efforts to quit fail, because the subconscious is holding on to how important it was to belong to that group. Memories are thoughts and circulate chemicals in the body to reinforce what people feel about themselves. So lighting up touches on that deep memory even when its not consciously recognised. Hypnotherapy works by changing these perceptions and by replacing them with positive thoughts. Every person is unique, with their own skills and abilities, and is worth lots more than committing slow suicide by smoking umpteen ciggies daily just because of an empty habit.

Imagine the client as a car driver, in control. The hypnotherapist would be equivalent to the navigator. The car driver has a choice to follow the advice he/she has asked for from the navigator or not.
With two people working together to achieve the same goal, success can be expected.

 

What is this experience like for the client?

As every one is unique, so there experience of therapy is unique too.
Many people amaze themselves as they discover their ability to respond, relax and be a participating part of the process.
When the client is in trance they experience enhanced awareness, are in control, can talk, and move.

Once you have experienced hypnotherapy you will be amazed by the power within you. The therapist is a guide, navigating you to the creative solutions you already had, so that you can make real positive differences to your life. The differences will occur according to how you chose to implement this new positivity.
