What is Hypnotherapy?
This is a guide to define what is hypnotherapy.
Read on to discover what hypnotherapy is, what it isn’t and most importantly – what hypnotherapy can do for you.
Hypnotherapy takes an exploratory approach – this allows you to make dramatic discoveries about the deep causes that lie behind your situation.
Answers to why you feel frustrated or blocked or stuck somehow, or how you became lost on your path in some way.
A fresh perspective gives you powerful revelations about what it is you really want and how to go about making the dream a reality
With hypnotherapy you get a new approach, you get new tools and techniques to enable you to reach your goals faster and find simple yet powerful solutions to any challenges on the way.
By becoming conscious of your internal belief system you set the stage for adapting to new ways of thinking and being.
When you align to your inner values you gain an awareness of your true goals.
Hypnotherapy facilitates this understanding by allowing you to view your situation through a new lens. Providing new meaning and a recognition of your deeper belief systems, behaviour patterns and assumptions that you have been living under.
The hypnotheraputic process is designed to find out where you are now in life, where it is you want to go and then determining the best direction to take to get you there.
Hypnotherapy helps you take action where before there was inaction by tackling blocks or limiting beliefs, helping you face fear or deal with stress or just by helping you get re-orientated when you feel lost.
A good hypnotherapist will help you to eradicate limiting beliefs and unwanted patterns of behaviour and give you powerful tools to help overcome any roadblocks along the way.
By helping you find true purpose, hypnotherapy brings you a way to reach your deepest potential.
Through non-judgemental active listening and powerful questioning techniques hypnotherapy can find a new vision for yourself and a framework for turning the vision into reality.
A hypnotherapist is a professional who helps you to get things out of your head and into real action and make change in your life.
A hypnotherapist keeps you accountable for reaching your goals and continuing to make positive changes.
They challenge you to keep achieving, because ultimately this is what is needed if you truly want to achieve your goals.
A good hypnotherapist has effective, yet efficient, strategies that enable you to not only identify goals and gain a deep understanding of what you want to accomplish but also focus you on reaching those goals more quickly in a meaningful way.
A hypnotherapist should have the professional training and knowledge of mind-set strategies and change psychology tools to coach you to your dream life.
Their role is to be there with you step by step to help you stay on track and motivated.
Hypnotherapy is psychotherapy used under hypnosis. Hypnosis is a wonderful relaxed state similar to the feeling just before you drift off into a pleasant sleep. It allows access to the subconscious mind where we hold all of our beliefs and behaviours.
Important discoveries in neuroscience are providing evidence that the most effective way to change the neural pathways in the brain is through accessing the subconscious mind. The best way to access the subconscious is through hypnosis.
It has also been discovered that effective access to the subconscious is achieved through even a ‘light’ trance state – in other words hypnosis should be effective for all open and willing participants – i.e, those that fall into either a deep trance or light trance.
We now understand that the brain has a neuroplasticity which means that it is able to change throughout our adult life.
We used to believe that the brain became fixed at a certain age; we now know that new neural pathways can be created in the brain, which literally change the way we think, feel and act in situations.
We now know that we have multiple brains and that our heart as well as our gut have their own set of neurons. Understanding that if we are out of alignment in one brain this can have a high impact on the other brains is a revolution in how we treat many common disorders.
In hypnosis we are able to access all of our brains including the gut brain that has the fear, fight or flight response. By calming and soothing the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for fear and the link between the vagus nerve and the stomach, we are able to move clients to a state of calmness and courage where they are in control of their state not the other way around.
Overall hypnotherapy creates powerful change that is lasting and permanent when done over three to six sessions it helps to create and strengthen new pathways in the brain. Ultimately it puts you back in charge of your life by giving you clarity and focus and providing an understanding of what works for you and what doesn’t.
Hypnotherapy is an investment of both time and money into your personal self development and creating the life you want. Choosing the right life hypnotist is the critical factor in success.
Specialisation
If you have a very clear goal in mind you can look for a hypnotherapist with a specialisation that matches. Ultimately though you need a therapist who you can connect well with and who is skilled in hypnosis methods and practices.
I specialise in empowering people to meet heir full potential by employing science backed hypnotherapy methods and a powerful change psychology that incorporates advanced NLP tools and coaching processes.
If someone can help you to make life changing significant positive changes, what is that worth to you? How much does it cost to be unfulfilled, lost, limited and frustrated?
Hypnotherapy cost needs to be assessed against the utility or value that the therapy brings.
It can be difficult to invest in your own personal development, but it really is worth the investment when you have a therapist that inspires and challenges you to fulfil your deepest potential.
I want you to care about the amount you have invested in yourself, because I want you to care about the outcomes.
I want you to accomplish more than you thought possible.
