Hypnotherapy is a state of deep relaxation. Using hypnosis the therapist gently guides the client into a state of relaxation. Ii is very much like the experience of meditation or when you practice mindfulness.
The National Hypnotherapy Society says that “ hypnotherapy is a skilled verbal communication used during hypnosis, which helps a client’s imagination in such a way as to bring about intended alterations in sensations feelings and thoughts.
What Conditions Can it Help? Hypnotherapy can be used for aiding weight loss, addictions like smoking, chocolate and sugar, fears , anxiety and relaxation , times of change and transition, and much more.
What Benefits can be Expected? Achieving your desired goal of losing weight or stopping smoking will feel great and the added health benefits are an added bonus.
Everyone is different but generally people experience feelings of well being and a more positive attitude.
What happens when you come and see me for hypnotherapy?
For hypnotherapy and coaching the start of the session is the same
Firstly we start with getting to know you and what you want to achieve. There is a form to fill in and this will form the basis of the work that we do together.
Then you will be asked to sit in a comfortable chair.
Using information that you have given me I will then encourage you to enter into a gentle state of relaxation. This is just as if you were listening to a Mediation recording or perhaps when practicing Mindfulness.
Following the details that you have given about what you want, gentle suggestions are made to bring about the positive change that you wish to achieve.
