How hypnosis could help you

Hypnosis (whether hypnotherapy or self-hypnosis) provides the way to access your subconscious mind, with the aim of making positive changes to the way you think.

Becoming more aware of your habitual ways of thinking, rather than being locked into automatic thinking shaped by past experiences, is the first step to changing your experience of how you live your life.

Hypnosis can be an energising force, helping you focus your attention on replacing unhelpful with more helpful ways of thinking. Quite simply, hypnosis can bring about ‘helpful’ changes in the way you think, feel and behave, in relation to yourself and others. 

Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis can also help promote new ways of thinking about whatever is at the root of your current suffering, whether the cause is rooted in emotional or physical pain. Hypnosis holds the key to developing a  new  mindset about whatever is currently causing issue for you. 

How hypnosis works

Being in a hypnotic trance effects a bypass of the conscious mind, allowing helpful suggestions to be introduced into the subconscious mind. ‘Suggestions’, made by person themselves in self-hypnosis or by the therapist in hypnotherapy, are more likely to be accepted and integrated into the subconscious mind, helping the person in hypnosis to adopt, rather than reject, new ways of thinking.

The conscious mind is often resistant to change, due to fear, anxiety, or other factors. Hypnosis helps to bypass any resistance by the conscious mind by working directly with the subconscious mind. It is in the sub-conscious mind where our beliefs are rooted and where those beliefs can be reshaped to bring about positive change in how a person thinks, feels and behaves.

Self-hypnsosis

Self-hypnosis can be a very useful skill to learn and the hypnosis state it provides can be accessed easily anywhere and at any time of day or night. Self-hypnosis can become a person’s portable and very user-friendly personal support mechanism.

For those motivated to try using it, self-hypnosis is quite safe, facilitating the unconscious mind to accept positive, helpful suggestions, naturally rejecting any that may not suit. Additionally, in situations where a person is feeling at a loss of control in their circumstances, which can be both comforting and empowering.
