Clinical Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy
Hypnosis is not a therapy, rather a therapy is conducted in Hypnosis which is
called Hypno-Psycotherapy.
Hypnosis is a trance like state and everyone has the ability to enter into a trance.
Everyday, people slip into natural trance states when they become absorbed in
watching television, or reading a book, using computers, or even driving.
Hypnotherapy is psychotherapy, treatment for mental and emotional problems -
which uses Hypnosis to help people. It works by lulling people into a state of
relaxation that then gives access to the Subconscious mind.
Hypnosis is the key that unlocks the door in the 'power house' of thought,
memories and emotions, namely, the Subconscious mind - thereby giving access
and power to use your brains' own Boo-computer.
In Hypnosis, there is absolutely no question of being controlled or manipulated or
even induced into a deep trance state. A person in Hypnosis (often referred to as
Conscious Hypnosis) is not asleep - they are often more aware of what is taking
place than usual and their senses function more efficiently than normal.
Nobody could possibly be made to do anything that they did not want to do and
anybody (except the try mentally sub-normal, very young children and inebriates)
can enter the hypnotic state. People who say or think "Nobody could get me under"
or "I wouldn't want anybody controlling my mind" or "I might blurt my secrets out",
are really demonstrating that they have a total misconception of what hypnosis
really is.
The state of Hypnosis, a totally natural phenomenon, is most pleasant and
particularly relaxing and a person can converse quite easily whilst within the state.
It is inconceivable that any harm could fall them. Indeed the centuries old
technique of hypnosis is being used increasingly as an adjunct to orthodox
medicine where it is proving a valuable alternative to drugs for anaesthesia to
accelerate healing, relieve stress and control pain. A good definition of hypnosis
is: A state of relaxation and concentration at one with a state of heightened
awareness induced by suggestion.
Your therapist will use her voice to induce you into the state of Hypnosis, you are
unlikely to feel hypnotised as such, you will probably experience a feeling of
mental and physical relaxation and your memory may well be enhanced. You will
find your therapist to be a caring professional person totally devoid of any magical
powers! No flowing robes or swinging watches - just a reassuring manner to put
you at ease, and the expertise to help you with your problem.
