Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy provides a first class way of accessing memories, emotions, psychological states, and physical pain and problems. It offers rapid and powerful ways of dealing with them. It is often possible to deal with problems which have plagued people for long periods – even most of their lives – and have had a crippling effect on them. At its best, hypnotherapy can solve the problem and give whole new dimensions to people’s lives. It can even foster a spiritual development and progress which might never have happened.

Being in hypnosis is usually rather like a daydream state – pleasantly calm and relaxed. It is a normal and natural state which we all experience in everyday life – rather like the state many drivers experience when they are on ‘automatic pilot’ for a short while. With the hypnotherapist’s help, it is easy to enter and use it in such a way that beneficial instructions can be given to the receptive unconscious mind, creating effective and long lasting changes in the way you think, feel and behave.

The hypnotic state makes it much easier to achieve these changes. Nobody knows precisely why this occurs, but it is now beyond doubt that alterations which occur in the rhythms and electrical activity of the brain are associated with making such changes.

Contrary to what most people believe, in hypnotherapy you never come under the ‘control’ of the hypnotist. You cannot be hypnotised against your will or made to reveal information which you want to keep to yourself. In reality, the therapist and the subject are working co-operatively to achieve the outcome the subject is wanting, so if you wanted to stop or leave at any time, you could. Of course not many people do, because that is not what they come for.

Clinical hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to treat problems which have psychological or emotional origins. Even medical problems which originate in this way can often be helped with hypnosis, as can ingrained habits such as smoking, overeating and fears and phobias. Even when other, more conventional methods have been slow to produce results, hypnosis can sometimes succeed, because the underlying cause of the immediate problem lies in patterns of behaviour unintentionally learned in early years, or in a precipitating event in the past.

Clinical hypnotherapy can produced long-lasting, often permanent results. There are no side effects, and it is quite safe. You cannot get ‘stuck’ in hypnosis as some people imagine.
