What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a fantastic way of bringing about positive change in any area of life. The process requires no effort, and is extremely effective and accessible to anyone, of any age. Many people only know about hypnotherapy and hypnosis through stage shows, or by it's portrayal on television or in movies, perceiving it as a type of mind control. Hypnosis is in fact just a state of mind, and it's important to realise that we naturally cycle in and out of this state every day, for example while driving, reading, studying, concentrating or relaxing. Hypnotherapists know how to usefully utilise this state in order to help clients make changes that have deep and long lasting beneficial effects.
What is meant by conscious and subconscious minds?
As you look at this iceberg; imagine the tip represents the conscious mind, and the submerged area is the subconscious. This helps in understanding the impact of this powerful part of our consciousness, hidden from view, but making up 90% of who we are.
The conscious mind manages the details of everyday life, moment to moment, while the subconscious is the repository of our emotions, memories, dreams and desires. Crucially, it also contains our perceptions and beliefs about who we are, what we offer to the world, and what we deserve to receive. If that information is largely negative, it affects our behaviour, our emotions, and our thoughts, in a way that we are mostly not aware of.
How does Hypnotherapy work and what can I expect?
Hypnotherapy replaces negative thoughts and beliefs held by the subconscious mind, sometimes for decades, with more positive ones. Initially, I meet with my clients to discuss the situation, behaviour or problem, and identify in detail exactly what they would like to achieve. In this way, the client's own words form the basis of the therapy, ensuring it's relevance and effectiveness. In the relaxed state of hypnosis, the conscious mind simply takes a step into the background, effortlessly allowing access to the subconscious. This part of our mind absorbs everything it hears without criticism, judgement or argument, thus the positive suggestions given during therapy are extremely successful in leading to the replacement of maladaptive thoughts and beliefs with useful, healthy ones.
For those who are focused on a particular goal, motivational suggestions are used to maximise chances of achieving this. Since self-doubt and other negative ‘self talk’ is a major reason holding people back, this process proves very helpful.
Life constantly offers us opportunities to change and grow, sometimes these come in the form of obstacles and challenges, but when we learn how to change the way we are thinking, we feel more in control, rather than letting a situation control us, and we are much more likely to deal with it in a way that leads to a positive outcome.
HYPNOTHERAPY is SELF-EMPOWERMENT
