We need to look way back into history to find the roots of this ancient science. It is a tool that is now well respected by the medical profession and has been used by many individuals with great success. All major cities will have a hypnotherapy practice in their midst, often within a multi-disciplinary clinic.
The intension of hypnotherapy is to essentially alter some part of our behavior. Problems such as overeating, fears, stopping smoking, phobic reactions and other behavioral issues can all be cured through hypnotherapy. In a hypnotherapy consultation, the therapist will gently assist the client to move into a state of trance where, through the subjects subconscious mind, the work is performed. In essence, the state of trance allow the therapist to go beyond the conscious mind and address the real problems of the subject.
The mechanism of inducing trance is not complex. The ways of creating trance are numerous with the most popular being either concentration on a particular spot or swinging a watch or pendulum in front of the eyes. By using the voice, the therapist will use guided suggestions to help induce trance. Using words and phrases such as 'allow', 'become aware of' and 'notice how', enables the therapist to promote the trance state. When in the trance, by saying very specific suggestions to the subject, the therapist is able to promote the change being sought. Having finished the suggestions and the work is complete, the subject is returned to daily consciousness, usually by the therapist counting from 1 to 10.
There are many different ways to achieve the trance state, and many ways to perform the procedure, however the basic pattern described is the same.
The length of therapy, i.e. the amount of sessions needed, depends greatly upon the nature of the issues to be addressed. For people who smoke as a habit or for those with phobias and fears, a single treatment may be all that is required. Other deep-seated issues may require between 3 to 5 sessions to be fully effective. The effects of the therapy can often be immediate, but for some the change is gradual as the person adjusts to their new way of being.
Deeply repressed problems, long forgotten in the subject's subconscious are the cause of many problems treated by a hypnotherapist. Dealing with repressed issues whilst a person is in a trance, is a highly effective way of removing the negative impact on the individual. The negative impact of repressed feeling can be healed and a person's sense of peace can return.
People who have used the services of a hypnotherapists often report a feeling of wholeness and peace having regained their natural state of well being.
