This will be discussed at your initial appointment, which is for approximately 1-45 - 2 hrs. It is important to have an assessment before hypnotherapy, to be sure the session is tailor-made to suit your requirements.
Your first appointment will include an in-depth assessment and your chance to explain your issue, as well as a hypnotherapy session. Many clients notice positive changes within one to three sessions, although the number required varies, depending on the individual and their goals.
Hypnosis is a completely natural state often described as a state of focused and relaxed awareness which you enter many times during the day. You are in hypnosis frequently, when you are concentrating on something of great interest eg: watching TV or movies, playing computer games. Daydreaming and driving over familiar roads or long distances can be other forms of naturally occurring hypnosis.
Since hypnosis is a natural state of mind, clients are often surprised that they hear what is said to them. You many not feel any different to when you are day-dreaming or relaxing in your favourite arm chair. Usually the overall effect is one of great relaxation – a wonderful break from our stress filled world.
The practice of promoting healing or positive development in any way, whilst in hypnosis, is known as hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy is very simply…therapy or suggestions, given to you while you are experiencing the state of hypnosis. Positive suggestions, in themselves, can have a very therapeutic effect on the mind and body for self-improvement and/for the release of problems and to assist you to achieve your goals.
In therapy, hypnosis usually involves clients experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focused on appropriate positive suggestions made by the therapist. These suggestions can help a client make positive changes within themselves.
When in hypnosis, you will be totally relaxed, aware and in control at all times whilst powerfully focussing your mind on positive ideas and goal orientated suggestions.
It is generally accepted that all hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. A hypnotist merely helps to facilitate this experience – hypnotherapy is not about being made to do things, in fact it is the opposite, it is about empowerment.
Most people live normal, healthy lives and yet there may be some aspect they may want to change. Many people choose hypnotherapy to: build confidence; reduce stress; develop healthier habits; prepare calmly for childbirth; improve sleep; enhance performance; strengthen motivation; manage fears and unhelpful thought patterns; compliment medical care when appropriate.
Firstly, during the interview process, any misconceptions a potential client may have about hypnosis should be dispelled.
During the hypnotherapy portion of the session, the client sits in a comfortable recliner chair and relaxes. During hypnosis, clients cannot be made to disclose any information without their prior consent or do anything they would not ordinarily do.
The important thing is that clients must want to change some behavioural habit and are highly motivated to do so.
Hypnotherapy is a complementary approach designed to support positive behavioural, emotional and wellbeing goals. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent medical or psychological conditions and should not replace advice or treatment from a registered healthcare professional.
