information
about,..."Hypnotherapy"
The use of hypnotherapy is now being
recognised by more and more members of the medical profession.
Research
has now demonstrated that by hypnotherapy instead of normal prescribed
drugs, patients are able to rid themselves of many illnesses, phobias
and
stress related symptoms.
However, hypnotherapy is not a cure for
everything,
and certain ailments will still require other remedies as before.
For instance, if a person is experiencing
pain there could be an underlying problem that may require more
extensive
treatment. In this case, the patient should be advised to seek
normal
medical advice before continuing with a hypnotherapy programme.
Many illnesses however are caused because
the body's natural defence system is fatigued, often to due
stress.
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can be a very effective way of combating
stress,
thus reducing the chances of becoming ill.
Hypnotherapy falls into two quite
different categories:
Indirect Hypnotherapy
Indirect Hypnotherapists believe that the
power to heal a patient is already within them, and that these
resources
(even if they are not yet fully developed) should be used to full
extent.
By utilising the power of suggestion, the hypnotherapist will help the
patient to find the cure to the ailment or phobia from within.
Indirect Hypnotherapists will then help
the
patient to develop these resources and apply them as necessary.
Instead of pressurising a client to make
them accept suggestions, the Indirect Hypnotherapist will create new
ways
of looking at a situation, perhaps from a different perspective.
Direct
Hypnotherapy
Direct Hypnotherapists are normally
very
authoritarian in their approach to a patient.
Similar in many ways to Stage Hypnotists,
the Direct Hypnotherapist will use an authoritarian approach to tell
the
patient what to do. The patient merely takes the role of receiver
and is expected to accept the instructions made without question.
Regretfully, many patients do not respond
well to this type of approach, and in this case the therapy would be
completely
ineffective. With this in mind, this approach to hypnotherapy is
not often used.
What Can Hypnotherapy Do For Me ?
Hypnotherapy is safe and it works.
Hypnotherapy can help you make positive
changes
in your Life with a heightened sense of relaxation while connecting the
mind and body with unconscious suggestion to create the changes you
require.
Treatment Sessions
Treatment starts with a 60 minute
consultation.
Subsequent sessions are 1 hour to 90
minutes
in duration depending on the nature of the problem. Home visits are
possible.
Some Misconceptions
The combined influences of Hollywood and
tabloid sensationalism have created some misconceptions. Here are some
common questions...
Am I
asleep when I am hypotised?
It is true the term hypnosis derives from
the Greek word ‘hypnos’ which means ‘sleep’, but that is as far as it
goes.
EEG tests show hypnotised persons to be in a relaxed and attentive
state.
Subjects are aware of their surroundings and can respond. It is not
unusual
for people who have been in a light trance to claim they have not been
hypnotised at all.
Will
hypnosis give someone control over
my mind?
NO. No-one can be hypnotised against
their
will. You can resist hypnosis. Nobody can be forced to do anything they
don’t want to do. All suggestions made must be beneficial and
acceptable
or they will be rejected by the client. Clinical hypnosis is used to
help
people by helping them overcome their problems.
Will I be unable to come out of the
trance?
It takes effort for a Therapist to
maintain
a trance. Should the Hypnotherapist stop talking you will come out of
the trance easily
and naturally. You can bring yourself out of it at any time and at will.
Will I
give away secrets under hypnosis?
NO. You cannot be forced to say or do
anything
under hypnosis. You are in control of everything you say and do.
Indeed,
it is very unlikely you will be asked to speak.
What if
I cannot be hypnotised?
People respond in different degrees.
People
acquire the depth of trance natural to themselves.
Is
hypnosis a quick and easy remedy?
Hypnosis is a tool used in therapy to
deal
with special mental, emotional or psychosomatic problems. Results
depend
on the nature of the problem and the responsiveness of the client.
Sometimes
rapid and dramatic results can be achieved which would not be possible
without hypnosis.
Can
harmful suggestions be planted in
my mind?
NO. You will remember the session when
you
'wake up'. Do not expect blanks or amnesia. Should anyone try to plant
disagreeable ideas you will 'wake up' immediately.
How long
are the sessions?
Treatment starts with a 60 minute
consultation.
Subsequent sessions are 1 hour to 90 minutes in duration depending on
the
nature of the problem.
