Changing Times Hypnotherapy

Do you describe yourself as a worrier? I don't - although I'm not immune from worry. But I always try and let go of those negative predictions because I can't see any value in it. Worry is always about things that will probably never happen, and what use is that? When the time comes, if the worst does happen, then I know that I will be able to deal with it. So why waste my energy? But it can be such a hard thing to do - letting go of worrying thoughts. The skills you learn from cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy can help you to practise letting go of those thoughts. I'm talking about ways to manage worry this week so check back later for more tips...

World Sleep Day today, is putting the spotlight on sleep. I want to shine the spotlight on how hypnotherapy can help us sleep better, more restfully and without needing any tech, apps or products.

This Friday is World Sleep Day. Focussing our minds on the need to get the most out of our sleep. You might be wondering exactly how cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy can help you get more restful and restorative sleep? Let me explain what we do.

First of all we look at your thoughts and behaviour around sleep and identify those aspects that aren't helping. With all the emphasis we hear about how crucial it is to get a good night's sleep can set up unhelpful pressure and expectations that can work against us. Thinking "I must get to sleep now or it will be a disaster tomorrow" is probably guaranteed to give you a wakeful night! Having a relaxed 'so what' attitude to the time that you sleep is a much more helpful option.

Relaxation, mindfulness, guided imagery of peaceful relaxing scenes are all very helpful tools that Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy can teach you that will improve your ability to drift off at night.

What happens when you wake in the night or early morning? Does that set off your mental alarm bells, heralding an hour or so of wakeful tossing and turning? Or do you simply take a moment to acknowledge that you've woken, while remaining calm and peaceful with confidence that sleep will soon return? We don't want to engage our mind in the middle of the night, and CBH can help us to figure out how to not let that happen.

We associate hypnosis with a form of 'sleep' but looking at our thoughts, and our behaviour, as well as learning how to use hypnosis can provide a thorough approach to tackling insomnia.

A recent study added to the evidence to show that hypnotherapy is a very effective treatment for IBS and that hypnosis can be effectively delivered online. When I work with a client who is struggling with IBS, the most important aspect is to teach them self-hypnosis so that they are empowered to manage their own condition.
