What is hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a form of short therapy that uses hypnosis to help overcome issues due to subconscious blockages or traumas and bring profound positive changes into your life.
What is hypnosis
Hypnosis is a form of modified state of consciousness that we naturally experience when we’re about to fall asleep, or during a meditation, where the mind starts to show us images and random thoughts pop without us controlling and with a sense of deep relaxation and bliss. It can be also experienced while we dissociate during an activity such as driving or playing a musical instrument. Our thoughts are ‘somewhere else’ and yet, if a danger happens, our full attention comes back immediately. Similarly, during hypnotherapy, we are aware of what is happening and can always stop the process whenever they want.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, no one can force you to be hypnotised or do things against your will.
Why is hypnotherapy so effective
When someone goes to hypnotherapy with a presenting issue, they usually have tried a lot of things, and feel that they can’t progress any further using will or conventional treatment only. The reason why they can’t progress is because they can’t change the subconscious blockage that is causing the issue.
Our subconscious mind is responsible for our emotions, sensations, beliefs, long term memories and body functions and therefore determines how we behave and perceive the world. This blueprint is accessible easily during hypnosis and in this state, we can change what we want to achieve better life outcomes.
Overall, most issues caused by the subconscious mind can be treated with hypnotherapy.
When we experience somatic issues, something in the present triggers unpleasant memories from the past. Our subconscious mind recognises some aspect of the present moment as identical as the problematic memories and the same sensation is revived instantly.
This can be a memory we know consciously, or something we have forgotten or simply never connected to the present issue.
By using a language that the subconscious mind understands instantly such as colours, shapes, music, stories, metaphors, symbols… we can heal from trauma and learn new ways of being, so that we no longer live ‘in the past’.
