How is the Conscious Mind Distracted

How Does it Feel to be Hypnotised

The client will feel aware and in control and might feel their hands and feet tingling slightly, this is the relaxed state improving blood flow. Breathing may become deeper as muscles relax and swallowing may increase. Thoughts may drift or remain focused but the agreed upon suggestions are accepted at a subconscious level either way. Once the client’s subconscious accepts the suggestions, the therapist brings the client back to normal awareness.

Who is in Control

Can Everyone be Hypnotised

Everyone can be hypnotised if they are willing to participate in good faith. The effect is not limited to people who are weak-willed, but it is about the willingness of a client to work with the therapist and the level of commitment employed. In fact recent research indicates that people who are above average intelligence and are imaginative benefit most from the process. Serious clients should not attempt to carry out their old problem behaviour (to see if therapy has worked), but instead practice their new chosen behaviour. Repetition of the new chosen behaviour creates a conditioned response, turning it into a habit.

Can Hypnotherapy Change Me

Yes. Hypnotherapy promotes the successful interaction between your thoughts, emotions and feelings, re-establishing your basic personality. It helps change who you are now (possibly affected negatively by past difficulties), into a more positive version of yourself. This enables you to be optimistic and fulfilled, despite life’s unavoidable setbacks.

What is Self-Care and Self Hypnosis

If a thought or emotion prompts you to behave in a way you no longer find acceptable, you have developed a habit (or conditioned response). Self-care and self-hypnosis helps you to develop a conditioned response (or habit) of behaving in the way you want to behave, without conscious effort. You will learn how to use these techniques at home.

What is Stress Response

Stress Response is the emotional response to a stress stimulus (or trigger) which may cause you to light a cigarette or eat in response to the stimulus. Hypnotherapy allows your subconscious mind to adopt a new and appropriate response in these stressful situations. Furthermore, repetition of the new and appropriate stress response develops it into a habit. Even the most intransigent addict or phobic etc can find relief from their unhappiness with a new stress response and repetition.
