Our self-esteem is largely established as we were growing up.

The experiences we had as we made our way from early infancy to adulthood helped us form a blueprint of how to deal with similar events in the future.

Both negative and positive experiences shape the way we think about ourselves. The way we think about ourselves then shapes the way we behave.

Many would say you cannot change what has happened (this is true), but you can change the way it makes you feel and the affect it has on your behaviour now.

The Inner critic is stronger when suffering from stress or anxiety. It is often recognised as ‘beating ourselves up’ about things we’ve interpreted as mistakes or lost opportunities.

Rather than simply an expression of low confidence, inner criticism is the result of an unhelpful view of ourselves and how value as a person.

Hypnoanalysis is a therapy which aims to resolve the underlying root cause that lead to an inner critic and help people to think and feel in a more productive way.

Free Initial Consultation - Find Out How Hypnotherapy Could Help You

Everyone has the opportunity to come along for a chat so we can go through things in a bit more detail and I can explain exactly what Hypnotherapy is and how it works.

Things you might not know about Hypnotherapy:

There are many different types of Hypnotherapy - Suggestion Therapy is focused on controlling symptoms and is useful for many habits. Analytical Hypnotherapy deals with the cause of the problem and helping the person resolve the issue.

Hypnotherapy can be useful for a range of problems. It can help a person overcome their phobia, or can be of assistance with their anxiety or depression.

Hypnosis is the ‘tool’ in the therapy. Hypnosis is the tool I use to help the person rather than the ‘thing’ that does all the work.

A no obligation free initial consultation is a good way of finding out more about Hypnotherapy and how it may be of help to you. Give me a call or text and book an appointment today!

Anxiety is the most common problem people consult me with. Fear and anxiety is something that creeps up on people over time.

The feelings of dread and panic can start to take over a persons life, so they find themselves not doing the things they once did, or enjoying the activities that perviously wouldn’t have been a problem.

After a while the anxious feelings are more persistent and return with greater strength than before.

With my clients I use Hypnoanalysis to treat anxiety. Hypnoanalysis is an analytical therapy which works under the principle of cause and effect: for every effect (symptom) there has to be a reason (cause) as to why the person is suffering with anxiety.

What makes them different?

How many times have you heard the advice: ’Just think positive’? If changing negative thinking was a simple as just thinking positively, wouldn’t everyone do that?

The act of challenging negative thinking is tough because it requires an individual to reappraise how they believe things are.

It means having to change position in the our mental argument. We become fixed on a way of thinking and it shapes our expectations.

How can Hypnotherapy help?

Hypnoanalysis combines Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy and helps a person process events from their life. Using Hypnosis means it is easier to remember events and unhelpful interpretations made at the time and the emotions they created.

The cathartic effect of thinking through past experiences reduces the intensity of the stored emotions. Events are re-interpreted with the benefit of hindsight.

We may not be able to change the events that happened, but we can change how we feel about it now and the impact it continues to have.

Most people who consult me have spent a great deal of time applying strategies to manage their unwanted behaviours.

They have experienced various degrees of success but begin to find the strategies less effective. This can have the opposite effect making them feel more anxious about the behaviour they have been trying to manage.

Perhaps one reason for this is because strategies require a person to use conscious effort. In other words, the person has to think about what they do not want to happen in order to try and stop it happening.

Perhaps we should be asking: where did that negative thinking and anxious behaviour come from?

Problematic stress leading to burnout is created by a mismatch between the demand placed upon us and our perceived ability to cope with the circumstances; in the time frame available.

What does this tell us?

How we think about the circumstances and whether we believe that we can cope, can determine if stress leads to burnout.

More than positive thinking, it’s about developing a belief, alongside appropriate skills, that prevent stress taking over.

Hypnotherapy aims to reduce stress, build positive beliefs and resolve the underlying root cause of unhelpful behaviours that are obstacles to coping effectively with stress.

It affects more than we think. If you’re tired, mentally and physically, it’s no wonder. Our lives are filled with stressors, whether they’re work deadlines, running the kids to all their activities, making sure our pets’ shots are up-to-date, or caring for our parents. According to the Amer...

The principle of cause and effect suggests that for every problem behaviour a person may struggle with, there has to be a reason why they developed that behaviour. Where did it come from?

Where did that negative thinking and anxious behaviour come from?

What were the influences which led them to develop such an unhelpful way of viewing themselves and the world?

What’s the difference between stress and anxiety?

Sometimes the two are confused, often because anxiety is used as a cover-all for unpleasant emotions and experiences.

Interesting article (below) explores the topic further.
