Hypnotherapy is much more than Hypnosis, but what is hypnosis?
“Hypnosis is a natural everyday phenomenon used to communicate with the unconscious and update it, so that the clients’ own resources can be utilised to solve their problems.”
We have two minds, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is in control of everyday thinking and actions, like shopping, going to work, working, cleaning etc. The subconscious or unconscious mind controls the running of the body, the immune system, the heart rate, the filing of information in the mind and much more. The conscious mind only works when we are awake but the subconscious mind functions even when we are asleep, sometimes giving us dreams to sort information or to alert us. Hypnotherapy reaches the subconscious mind.
Our subconscious mind holds all of our experiences and memories. It is the experiences and information gathered in our past that creates our beliefs and behaviour patterns- positive or negative, helpful or unhelpful. For example if you have had a difficult childhood with uncaring parents, you will learn that you are unlovable and difficult. You may be unable to experience loving relationships because you have never felt this love and don't know how to recognise it. If you have had abuse as a child, you are likely to experience many negative feelings like guilt, anger, hatred. These feelings again will impact upon your future relationships as the negative feelings take control. Hypnotherapy allows you to release these harmful emotions.

For every experience our subconscious mind draws a lesson and reacts accordingly so you may feel stressed in certain situations and fail to understand why. Without understanding the working of our subconscious mind we are out of control. There are people who think that they have to be in control all the time but they are deceiving themselves. When you go into self hypnosis in a Hypnotherapy session, you are in touch with your subconscious mind and you can make changes that make your life easier, more pleasant. Daydreaming or meditation is very similar to the state we experience in hypnosis or hypnotherapy. It is a perfectly natural state of mind. In this pleasant dreamy drowsy state, we can communicate with the subconscious directly. All hypnosis is self hypnosis as no one can hypnotise you against your will. When I help you to go into self hypnosis in a hypnotherapy session, we work together to alter inappropriate and outdated beliefs and behaviour that is holding you back. We reinforce new beliefs and behaviour patterns that are positive and life affirming. In hypnosis you are fully aware but deeply relaxed. Even in hypnotherapy, I cannot make you do anything and you are quite free to open your eyes or stop the session at any time you wish. This is nothing like stage hypnosis, where people act the fool for entertainment purposes. Hypnotherapy is for your benefit and I simply assist you to learn self-hypnosis so that you can practice it at home. You have a useful tool for the rest of your life. You will probably also leave with much more knowledge about yourself and the world, with techniques for self empowerment and relaxation. The benefits of Hypnotherapy and hypnosis are many: reduced stress levels; lower blood pressure; steady heart rate; greater relaxation and self healing for the body. Hypnosis uses the same brainwave state as meditation so many people who struggle to meditate find it much easier when they have experienced hypnosis. If you would like to turn your self hypnosis into meditation just let me know and I will give you all the information and tools you need.Hypnosis is a relaxed, dreamy drowsy state of mind, like when you just wake up, or like daydreaming in a warm bath. The normal conscious brainwave is called Beta. This is when you are thinking normally about everyday matters. When you go into meditation or Hypnosis, you slip into a deeper level of brainwaves called Alpha. The Theta brainwave state is equivalent to a light sleep and Delta is when you are in a deep sleep. |

What is Hypnotherapy?
During a session of Hypnotherapy, we talk about your problems and work together to trace them to their origins. Often we can find new meaning in an unhappy event, which enables you to move on in your life without feeling upset, fearful or panicky.
Hypnosis is not always necessary if you are afraid or your attention span is not long enough. There are many alternative techniques, which may be used with or without Hypnotherapy such as ThetaDNA, NLP, Neurolinguistic programming or EFT, Emotional freedom Therapy. Everyone is an individual with unique perceptions of the world but it is very common for clients to say that they did not fit into their family. They felt like square pins forced into round holes. In my opinion, everything that happens to us is for a reason or a lesson. I have met some incredible survivors who have suffered so much as children. They carry the scars but they are such amazing individuals. Hypnotherapy enables you to leave the past behind and move forward in your life with positive thoughts and behaviour patterns, bringing new light and happiness into your life. Call me to discuss a hypnotherapy treatment at my treatment room Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.
