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.

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. You are perfectly aware of everything. It is more accurate to think of it as focused relaxation, it simply helps us achieve our aims in therapy much quicker.

A no obligation 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 and book an appointment today!

Learning relaxation techniques and using them frequently can be effective in taking charge of many common stresses we experience in everyday life.

The more stressed we are the less able we are to cope and think positively. This can lead to being stuck in a cycle of negative thinking which prevents a person being able to achieve the things they would like.

Hypnosis is an ideal way of benefiting from relaxation and encouraging a more positive attitude. Hypnosis is best described as focused relaxation.

Many of the people that consult me will try and sum up how they feel by saying they want to get the ‘old them’ back. Sometimes it has taken them a while to realise that things have changed.

For some they feel less happy or content than they did before, and for others the pressures or changes in their life have led them to feel out of balance.

I explain it like a train coming off its tracks. For years the person’s ‘train’ has been edging off its path. The bottled up pressures and emotions through the person’s life have been pushing the ‘train’ further away from its normal route, until it has come off the tracks, leaving them feeling unhappy, low or anxious.

By dealing with and resolving the bottled up pressures and emotions we can put the ‘train’ back on it’s track, and as a result the ‘old them’ returns.

What are the Signs of Healthy Self-Esteem?

Healthy self-esteem is the foundation for emotional well-being and resilience, but how can you tell if your self-esteem is in a good place? Here are a few signs:

Confidence without Arrogance: People with healthy self-esteem believe in their abilities but remain humble. They accept compliments graciously and are open to feedback without feeling defensive.

Ability to Set Boundaries: Healthy self-esteem allows you to say "no" when necessary. You respect your own needs and don’t feel guilty for putting yourself first occasionally.

Resilience to Criticism: Instead of taking criticism as a personal attack, you see it as an opportunity for growth. Your self-worth isn’t easily shaken by others' opinions.

Analytical approaches to Hypnotherapy view the symptoms as an outward expression of past behaviour.

The symptoms are what is happening in the present, but are reflections of past experiences and the effect they had on the individual.

When we approach understanding mental health in this way, we accept that symptoms are not the root cause of the problem. They are a response to difficulties that mirror their experience.

Imposter syndrome describes an individual doubting their accomplishments and abilities which are converted into a fear of being exposed as a fraud. This is still evident even when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

When an individual feels this way they have an attribution bias. They have a tendency to attribute their successes to luck or poor judgement on the part of others. The assumption being, they are ‘just getting by’ and if others saw the real them then they would be less than impressed.

Imposter syndrome can negatively affect self-confidence and prevent a person progressing with life in ways they had planned.

It’s unsurprising that negative life changes cause stress, however research has acknowledged that even positive life changes produce stress. Why?

Any life change requires extra mental effort. A life change needs extra processing of emotions (positive or negative) as well as adjusting to new beginnings.

It is the change that is most important. The change requires extra mental effort as we adjust, and that’s what causes the stress.

Equally stressful are the accumulated daily hassles. Individually they are not particularly stressful, however when accumulated, or at a time of life changes, they can have a greater impact on a person’s ability to cope.

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...

It can be useful to think of anxiety as inner stress. Because it is coming from inside, a person finds it difficult to understand why they feel they way they do or how to overcome it.

The anxiety is an obstacle. It prevents them from getting the most out of life.

Hypnoanalysis helps a person resolve the build up of pressures leading a person to feel anxious, or having a negative mindset.

Like a pressure cooker a person can have a build up of emotional rubbish which is having an affect on a them.

According to the Seasonal Affective Disorder Association around 17% of the UK population suffer with the condition in a mild form.

Common symptoms range from prolonged low mood, to sleep problems and increased anxiety. Most of the time symptoms can be relieved when Springtime comes around.

Suggestion Therapy using hypnosis can be of benefit; using suggestions to control the symptoms.

Perhaps we should be considering dealing with the possible psychological causes of the condition. Using Hypnoanalysis it can be possible to make more permanent improvements for the sufferers.

An individual’s mental health is experienced in the present but is influenced by the past, and informs future behaviour.

Analytical approaches to Hypnotherapy view the symptoms as an outward expression of past behaviour.

The symptoms are what is happening in the present, but are reflections of past experiences and the effect they had on the individual.

When we approach understanding mental health in this way, we accept that symptoms are not the root cause of the problem. They are a response to difficulties that mirror their experience.

An opportunity comes your way. Part of you wants to go for it, but your inner critic takes over and begins giving you doubts.

The inner critic is something which is established during our early-years. The way we view the world and how we respond to what happens is based on a kind of blueprint that we learned as children.

Our experiences shape how we will act in the future. These are a mixture of helpful and not so helpful experiences, and they continue to have an effect on us as we continue into adulthood.

Analytical Hypnotherapy can be a useful way to help a person ‘re-set’ that blueprint and banish the inner critic.
