Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy is using the
state of hypnosis to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems.
It is estimated that 85 %
of people will respond at some level to clinical hypnotherapy. It may
even succeed where other more conventional methods of treatment h Hypnotherapy makes use of the bicameral nature of the functioning brain and the conscious / unconscious processes therein. A t its simplest level the unconscious mind becomes (through our life experience) the repository of our conditioned experience, while the conscious mind is the waking mind dealing with appraisal and decision making. In hypnotherapy the critical faculties of the conscious mind are sidestepped (through the hypnotic condition) and new ideas and 'suggestions' placed directly into the uncritical unconscious to effect beneficial changes when back in the waking state. Clinical applications of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy is medically accepted to benefit the following and more: unwanted habits - smoking, nail biting, bed wetting, weight control / healthy eating, im prove work / study / sporting performance, boost self-confidence and achieving potential, phobias, compulsion s, emotional problems, sleep problems, inhibitions, worries, reduce stress, tension and blood pressure, stomach problems, IBS, gynaecological problems - PMT, psychogenic infe rtility, obstetrics (painless childbirth), skin problems, pain control, minor surgery, dentistry, arthritic pains, aches and pains, some sexual problems... Put simply, where your problem is due to habitual conditioning (habit formation), accumulated stress or unresolved events in your past then hypnotherapy can be used to access and reprogramme these complexes which are being sustained and remain active at the unconscious level.Hypnotherapy is a valuable therapy with which to release past trauma and decondition established habits. Even though our personal
unconscious only ever seeks to promote our well being it can often be
the seat of faulty learning from our childhood, leading to low self
est Hypnotic, or suggestive therapy is the oldest of all healing techniques. From the Sleep Temples of Egypt through the histories of ancient Greece and Rome, some form of hypnosis has always been an intimate part of all cultures. In the Middle Ages healing through touch and prayer became the major way of treating disease. In the 18th century - when it was believed that illness was caused by the magnetic influence of astral bodies - Franz Anton Mesmer would induce people into a trance-like state by what he (erroneously) believed to be Animal Magnetism. Although Mesmerism was soon discredited, it continued to be used even after the death of Mesmer as it often produced "miracle" cures. When James Braid
re-examined Mesmerism in the 19th century he discovered that simple
suggestion was just as effective as Mesmerism or any other method to
induce trance-like states. It was Braid who coined the phrase "hypnosis"
from the Greek word for sleep, hypnos. In the early part of the 20th
century, hypnosis was used almost exclusively by stage hypnotists, thereby
giving a hopelessly distorted view of this very powerful therapeutic
tool. In 1955 the British Medical Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis and hypnotherapy in Medical School education, since when it has become a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment. It may be surprising to many to learn that we experience trance states often during the course of our lives. Even passing into ordinary sleep involves a kind of trance state. The experience of hypnosis is similar: neither asleep nor awake and a little like daydreaming, with a pleasant feeling of deep relaxation behind it all. Hypnosis is a different state of consciousness, which you can naturally enter so that, for therapeutic purposes, beneficial corrections may be given directly to your unconscious mind. In this way, hypnosis is an effective way of making contact with our inner (unconscious) self, which is both a reservoir of unrecognised potential and knowledge as well as being the unwitting source of many of our problems. It is a fact that no one can be hypnotised against his or her will and even when hypnotised, a person can still reject any suggestion. Thus therapeutic hypnosis and hypnotherapy is a state of purposeful co-operation. Controlling
Anxiety With Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
General Anxiety is an increasing problem in western society as the modern world demands more and more of our time through mobile communications which reduces our time to recharge and can manifest in symptoms such as shortness of breath or excessive worrying, often about nothing in particular. The feeling of waking in the morning and feeling anxious and nervous for no reason is familiar one to many and can be soul destroying as the condition becomes a way of life. These symptoms are stress responses which are natural protective mechanisms often referred to as the "fight or flight response" which helped our ancestors to survive by preparing the body for immediate action against threats such as predators. Rarely do we experience such physical life or death threats in the modern world with the majority of anxiety occurring at a psychological level, yet our minds still perceive a physical threat and so the fight or flight response is activated. If the preparedness of the body for immediate action is not utilized then short term physical and mental health problems can arise such as gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, compromised immune system, panic attacks and more serious long term effects such as stomach ulcers, hypertension etc. There is no reason why anybody has to live in a state of anxiety. Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy can help you break free. Simple techniques such as self hypnosis can be easily learnt along with breathing techniques to immediately negate the anxiety. Further exploration of underlying issues and concerns can also be useful in addressing the origins of excessive anxiety.
