Hypnotherapy
HYPNOTHERAPY and its benefits
Hypnotherapy is a way of tapping into the subconscious mind to harness the body's own resources for healing or changing behaviour. It is a safe therapy, recognised as a form of treatment by the British Medical Counsel.
The human brain is divided into two areas: the conscious, and the unconscious. The conscious part is reading this; it holds a small amount of information, is logical and analytical, sorting information and moving on. The unconscious deals with memories, intelligence, creativity, and things that we don't need to directly think about - like breathing; it is hidden away and it functions without you being aware.
Your unconscious mind has the power to effect change. Unfortunately most people can't communicate with it whilst wide-awake.
Anyone who has ever lulled a child to sleep has engaged virtually the same procedures as hypnotherapy. When you are hypnotised you maintain control - if you don't like the journey you can terminate it, in the same way that an aeroplane pilot can take control of the plane when it is on 'automatic pilot'.
Hypnotherapy can assist with any issue that involves the mind. Complete relaxation harnesses the mind's capacities using a (Eriksson) form of hypnosis, telling the mind and body to relax. You will hear all the words I say and you will be aware of any movement in the room. Should you feel uncomfortable you would naturally open your eyes. Previous clients have said how completely relaxed they felt and how enjoyable the experience was. At the end of the session it is quite normal to be unaware of the amount of time that has passed.
