Hypnotherapy
Sometimes our perceived problem isn’t the underlining problem. Before you start thinking of a pendulum swinging, leaving you standing on one foot and barking please be reassured,THAT is the onstage ‘entertainment’ form of hypnosis. What I am talking about here is hypnotherapy.
- Are you stressed and anxious?
- Do you want to lose weight or give up smoking?
- Do you have other issues that you want help with?
It could be worth considering hypnotherapy!
In the past I have listened to Apps to help with any sleeping
difficulties, or to relax before a stressful event, so I was interested to hear
about relaxation hypnotherapy sessions and I
decided to give it a try. This preparation time is extremely important for building
a rapport and trust, which is crucial.
Sometimes our perceived problem isn’t the underlining problem ~ You peel away those layers to get to the root cause.
Can I be hypnotised?
With my hypnotists relaxed nature, I was instantly put at ease and was shown to a reclining chair and asked to put headphones on. The headphones are optional, but I would recommend them as it
helps to shut off any noise outside. The hypnotist spoke through a
microphone, accompanied by light background music, listening to her voice
I soon found myself drifting into a light daze. Stage by
stage, I was taken into a deeper trance. It wasn’t long before I was aware that
my hands tingled and felt numb, I remember how amused I felt about it.
I was
fully aware of going into a daydreaming state. I wished I had fully inclined as I was conscious of my
head drooping, this continued until I was blissfully in a fully relaxed state. My therapist continued to speak to me softly, reassuring me and reframing. She kept reinforcing the positive.
We have a conscious mind that handles our day-to-day
processes like eating and getting dressed. We also have a subconscious mind,
which is the part of the brain that a hypnotherapist taps into to give the
messages that will help with the issues which needs addressing. It’s worth
noting that this is a very safe therapy that you can bring yourself out of at
any time, without any adverse effects.
Before
I knew it, I was being counted back, and I really didn’t want to get to the
number ‘5’ as I wanted to stay as I was! I left my session feeling light and relaxed in a positive
state of mind ready to visit my next client. I will most definitely be booking
future sessions.
If you are tempted but worried. I would like to stress that qualified hypnotherapists are bound by many rules and regulations; confidentiality is strict. This is certainly a therapy I could see myself learning more about!
