What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to help alleviate emotional or psychological difficulties.
Uses of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can be used to help with difficulties such as
- Low self confidence or low self esteem
- Anxiety, phobias or stress
- Negative attitudes or problems with motivation
- Assertiveness
- Relationship issues
Hypnosis can also be used to help people break bad habits such as smoking or to deal with issues that may have an emotional or psychological element but are causing potential physical health problems, such as:
- Help with giving up smoking
- Help with weight loss
- Help with migraines.
NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming practitioners) are sometimes also trained in hypnosis and hypnotherapy as they sometimes use similar techniques to help you retrain your mind and build your motivation. Paul McKenna is an example of a famous hypnotist who also uses NLP techniques.
What Happens in Hypnosis?
Hypnosis produces a changed state of awareness involving deep relaxation and focus rather than sleep or unconsciousness. This new state of awareness is sometimes called 'hypnotic relaxation' or 'hypnotic trance'.
When you are in this hypnotic relaxed state you can access the resources in your unconscious mind to help detach you from worries that you may have and enable you to build positive mental habits responding to suggestion involving all your senses.
What is Self Hypnosis?
Self hypnosis involves using the techniques of hypnosis to put yourself into the relaxed hypnotic trance state where you can achieve the kind of positive changes highlighed above.
