What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy uses relaxation techniques including breathing and muscle relaxation to help you to deeply relax to a trance-like state.
Why do I need to be relaxed?
When awake and fully conscious, our conscious brain (10% of our mind) or mind argues with things that it hears and sees. Our conscious brain works at our fastest brain speed – there are 4 speeds in total, and it is necessary to relax you to slow down your brain speed to temporarily shut up your conscious brain. Your subconscious brain or mind (90% of our mind) can then be fully accessed.
What is the subconscious brain or mind?
This is the part of us that is responsible for all of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Throughout our lives we learn, and all of this learning and memory is stored deep within our subconscious brain. How we react to things is down to our subconscious brain. Sometimes we act or respond in negative and unhelpful ways, and this is all due to our life experiences and learning.
Why do you need to access the subconscious brain or mind?
New, positive and more helpful messages and suggestions can be fed directly to the subconscious brain, changing the ways in which we think, feel and behave. The subconscious mind is reprogrammed to rid it of unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
There is nothing to be feared, and you remain in control at all times.
Will you make me cluck like a chicken or dance with a broom?
That is part of stage hypnotism for entertainment purposes. No, I will not make you do things like this. You remain in control at all times.
Will I tell you things that I don’t want to whilst hypnotised?
No, you will only tell me what you want to tell me as you remain in control at all times.
Will I definitely wake up again?
Yes, you will wake up from hypnosis.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends entirely on your individual reasons for seeking help through hypnotherapy, an average number of sessions is between 6 and 8. Some people need less and some more, but this will be determined by your progress once you start having hypnotherapy.
