Bringing Hypnosis into the 21st Century!
Information
about
Hypnotherapy
from
Registered
Hypnotherapist,
Grant Boddington.
| What Issues
can a Hypnotherapist Help With? |
There are hundreds of
situations, issues
and conditions that can be directly improved by a competant
Hypnotherapist.
Habits- smoking,
nail-biting,
thumb-sucking, hair-pulling, bed-wetting, etc. Phobias - heights, open
spaces, spiders, fear of flying, etc.
Addictions - drugs,
alcohol,
gambling, foods, etc.
Personal, business and
sports
motivation
Relationship
enhancement
Self-esteem
Sex therapy
Confidence
Sleep problems
Obsessive Compulsive
Disorders
(OCDs)
Weight loss &
control
Irritable bowel
syndrome
Stress
Depression
Pain management
Concentration &
focus
Painless childbirth
etc. etc.etc.
While there are many
hundreds, probably
thousands of ways a Registered Hypnotherapist can benefit a person on
its
own, it should be noted that Hypnotherapy is also an excellent
complementary
procedure to most traditional forms of treatment for physical, mental,
emotional and environmental issues.
| Making
1st Contact with a Hypnotherapist |
Generally your first contact
will be
by telephone, probably most likely either after a referral from a
friend,
or by choosing one from a list or directory of Hypnotherapists or
Hypnotherapy
clinics. It is important you speak with the actual Hypnotherapist who
you
intend to work with. The initial feeling you have for this therapist
and
that attitudes you share, can have an enormous impact on the results
you
will achieve. You must like and trust the Hypnotherapist in order to
reap
the best benefits from the therapy. So take the time to find one whose
manner and qualifications help put you at ease. (Qualifications
will
vary from state to state and from country to country.) Ask the
Hypnotherapist
about his/her training and experience - and only book your first
Hypnotherapy
session when you're totally comfortable with that therapist. In New
Zealand,
you are urged to use only an NZHRB Registered Hypnotherapist.
| What to
expect when visiting a Hypnotherapist |
You should expect to be
treated with
respect and dignity as with any health professional. You will likely be
asked to complete a questionnaire about your reason(s) for the
Hypnotherapy
consultation, a few personal details and some medical history. Most
Hypnotherapists
will only see you concerning any serious medical issue after referral
from
your doctor or specialist. While every therapist will have different
procedures
and methods of beginning the consultation, it is important that you
feel
safe and comfortable at all times and that you and the Hypnotherapist
gain
a rapport together that will later assist during the therapeutic
evaluation
and intervention.
Some therapists may seek
"permission
to touch" but will generally restrict any such touching to hands, arms,
shoulders or head. Most Hypnotherapists will choose absolutely no
physical
contact with you, other than a handshake at the start and finish of
your
Hypnotherapy consultation. Remember, you always have a choice about any
touching and if you have every right to decline any request from your
Hypnotherapist
- and that should have little or no effect on the outcome of your
treatment.
| What does
it feel like to be Hypnotised? |
It will usually be a very
relaxed, almost
lethargic feeling, but you can also experience lightness or floating
sensations.
During Hypnotherapy, you are not asleep! But then, you're not awake
either.
A light state of trance is closer to being awake, whereas a deeper
level
of trance is more like being in a dream. A medium level of Hypnotic
trance
is best described as: "like being awake and asleep at the same time".
Indeed,
during
deeper
trance,
you
may actually lose some conscious awareness.
That's actually quite OK, because your relaxed consciousness is always
still just hovering below the surface in case of any threat to your
well-being.
During Hypnotherapy you cannot be made to do things against your
morals,
ethics or physical or mental capabilities.
| Common
Styles of Clinical Hypnotherapy |
There are two main styles of
Hypnotherapy:
Suggestive Hypnotherapy and Analytical Hypnotherapy. Many
Hypnotherapists
have developed their own individual combinations and variations on
these
styles - and offer excellent therapy for either a broad range, or
specialized
fields within their Hypnotherapy practice.
This generally involves
gathering information
from you about your problems and the ways you want to improve them. The
Hypnotherapist will ask you questions about causes, effects and
expectations,
induce a light to medium trance state and then present your
subconscious
with deliberately constructed suggestions to assist you to make
progress.
There may be no need for you to speak during this style of
Hypnotherapy.
Generally you will be sitting or lying in a relaxed state listening to
the Hypnotherapist speak about you overcoming your obstacles. You will
probably be relatively aware of everything being spoken to you as you
enjoy
the relaxed feelings.
This style of Hypnotherapy
usually involves
the use of a procedure referred to as "regression". Put simply,
regression
is "remembering past events that are locked in your subconscious".
Sometimes
an event in your past that has been long "forgotten" can still have an
impact on your present, and by accessing your "memory banks" the
Hypnotherapist (with
your help) can often modify that memory, so it has less negative
effects
on your present and future. The depth of trance for this procedure is
often (but
not essentially) somewhat deeper and the levels of awareness may
fluctuate
as you "relive" certain memories. Regressive Hypnotherapy will usually
involve conversation between you and the Hypnotherapist.
Important note: "Memories"
recovered
under
regressive
techniques,
may
be fact, but they may also be
fantasy - with little or no way of distinguishing one from the other.
Sometimes
the recollections may be a mixture of the two - influenced by
attitudes,
thoughts and other experiences. Rarely are they absolute memories
and provable. So, if you are seeking analytical therapy to
uncover
past abuses, with a view to procecution, then you should consult only a
trained forensic Hypnotherapist.
You should be feeling wide
awake - either
bursting with energy, or quite mellow and relaxed. Which, will depend
on
a multitude of factors such as the style of Hypnotherapy used, length
and
depth of trance, etc. Because being in a trance is so beneficial for
our
mind and body, afterwards we may feel either refreshed and rejuvenated
or very settled and relieved. The Hypnotherapist may give you a tape or
CD as support and arrange follow-up sessions with you.
Many Hypnotherapists can
substantially
improve your life in just one or two sessions, whereas some will insist
on multiple sessions. Some Hypnotherapists will offer you a fixed
number
of sessions for a specific issue when you initially contact them, or
suggest
a number that you may require. Soon after your trance, the
Hypnotherapist's
suggestions may still have some effect, so if in any doubt as to the
necessity
for extra or multiple sessions, then this is not the time to discuss
them.
Take the time afterwards to decide how much assistance you've already
gotten
from Hypnotherapy and how much better it could be with more visits.
