| Why choose hypnotherapy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hypnotherapy is
very different from any other type of therapy and that is
because it enables therapy/suggestion to be applied directly to
the subconscious mind, which can create a more effective,
speedier outcome for the client. The reason is that all our
beliefs and therefore hang-ups/anxieties/phobias and neurosis
are stored in the subconscious mind and so it is necessary to
access this area of the mind in order to facilitate the
necessary change for the client to achieve their goals. Working with normal counselling therapies through the conscious mind will take a lot longer and may not be as effective because the conscious mind/conscious critical faculty itself will act as a filter before allowing any access to the subconscious mind. Your conscious critical faculty is the part of the brain that sits as a filter between the conscious mind and the sub-conscious mind. It contains as a database of your beliefs built over your life and these beliefs are based on your life experiences and interactions with other people in your life and they may be correct or incorrect assumptions. The conscious critical faculty filter accepts and interprets information constantly and works out in split seconds whether the information being received is “correct or incorrect” depending on the interpretation that is stored in the subconscious mind. An example of this could be someone with a strong phobia of spiders and even though they “consciously” and logically knew that the spider was not going to hurt them, this did not stop them jumping on the chair and screaming in fear. What has happened is that they learned in their early formative years from seeing someone else’s reaction that spiders were to be feared and they have taken that fear on as a belief in their own subconscious mind. This belief is then stored and cemented over with the CCF (conscious critical faculty). So whenever that person sees a spider, she may logically think, they won’t hurt me, the mind goes to check the CCF and finds that she is wrong, there is a information in here from past experience that spiders will hurt her. This is a false belief but it is the overriding one (as the subconscious mind usually wins), so you can see how easily people get stuck with irrational fears. Hypnosis is the most effective mechanism we have for bypassing the CCF and getting into the non-judgmental, non-logical subconscious and allowing us to change the incorrectly held beliefs that are sitting there restricting us in some way. Although Hypnotherapy is an excellent form of therapy, it is not a cure-all and there may be some conditions that are served better through other therapies. On initial consultation, I will of course be happy to access your needs and we can mutually decide the best plan for you. There are wide ranges of ailments/symptoms that can be treated/alleviated with this type of therapy. Some of them are:
