HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of clinical hypnosis for the treatment and alleviation of a number of somatic, psychosomatic and psychological conditions. It is used in dealing with a wide range of problems and myriad of life issues from the desire to change habits and behaviours to managing pain and creating the life you want.

Guided by the hypnotist, hypnosis is carried out by relaxing your body and mind into a state of complete relaxation were treatment begins. This state of relaxation is experienced naturally every time before falling to sleep and just before awakening.

You frequently drift into this trance like state when you are watching a television programme, reading or listening to music, day dream or are lost in thought; and even when you are driving and don’t know how you got to your destination. All of these are experienced during a light to medium trance with the exceptional difference that hypnosis is guided, specifically focused and goal orientated.

In facilitating change hypnosis, guided imagery, suggestions and self hypnotic techniques are used for self improvement, behavioural change and healthy lifestyle.

This relaxed state allows the subconscious mind to become receptive to change. The hypnotic state allows you to communicate with your subconscious to alter the process of memory, perception, emotional, behavioural and attitude. The hypnotic suggestions allow you to regulate the activities in certain regions of the brain and help it to manage conscious and unconscious conflicts of the body and mind.

The hypnotic state does not allow the conscious mind to get in the way by logic, questioning, reasoning, evaluating, judging and making decisions. It opens the door way to the subconscious mind, where memories and information is stored. It is not a “thinking” process, but a process that “experiences” like a movie and accepts the new change by reprogramming, altering or giving the subconscious direct directions to do what you want it to achieve.

Hypnotherapy is very powerful in enabling you to create the life you want and not just remove the unwanted. With hypnotherapy you can change your emotional state, gain clarity and control of your life. Use hypnosis to boost your immune system, control chronic pain, headache, childbirth and dental procedures without anaesthetic or eliminate phobia, cravings, habits and smoking. In her work Vanessa successfully treats people with high blood pressure, stress, irritable bowel syndrome and psychosexual problems, premenstrual tension, skin problems, headaches, asthma and psychological trauma.

As a therapist Vanessa helps many people overcome a complexity of life issues including gambling, drinking and drug abuse as well as self loathing, body image, relationship problems, jealousy, anger, guilt and fear. Its powerful communication method can clarify and change your emotions, and how you feel about yourself, others and the world around you.

There are lots other reasons why people come to Vanessa for hypnosis; some people feel a part of them is out of character, behaving irrationally that’s changing their personality as they find themselves withdrawing from life.

Whilst others come because two parts of them is pulling them in different directions, feeling a void and having nothing to look forward to in life.

Majority come because they want to stop a particular habit or behaviour, or want to put their past actions behind them. Some simply want to increase their full potential or want a solution to the blocks they experience at home or work. Few come to lea rn about themselves, to expand their intuition and trust their gut feelings more.

Most successful sports person, writers, artists and musicians including managers and entrepreneurs confirm that their achievement is cultivated by accessing and communicating with their subconscious mind. The greater the communication with the subconscious mind the greater the expansion of creativity, intuition and success.

Vanessa also has a large number of school, college and university students that come to overcome pre-exam nerves, to retain information and achieve the desired grades in a calm and relaxed manner without panic, anxiety, difficulties in sleeping and eating, during a testing time that affects a person’s confidence and self esteem. As with children and adults many come to overcome bullying, or feeling left out and unable to connect with their friends, family and co-workers. Children under 16 require written permission from a parent or legal guardian.

The fundamental requirement to success of any kind is to be calm and relaxed yet, alert, motivated and focused. No one under stress, anxiety or apprehension can successfully perform or be at their peak mentally, emotionally or physically. Hypnosis does just that, it allows you to get ride of the panic attacks, the nervousness, the churning in your stomach and the tightness in your chest to achieve your best by stimulating your desires, getting ride of your fears and increasing your confidence and motivation.

Hypnosis is not a general anaesthetic, the client is always in control and because of this, hypnosis is very successful when a client is motivated to change; the hypnosis is ineffective if you do not really wish to do so, and is less likely to work.

It is always important at this stage to remember that you cannot go into a hypnosis trance nor do anything during hypnosis if you do not want to do it. You can at all times interrupt what is happening at anytime during the process, as you are still consciously aware of what is going on and you can talk during the hypnosis. You are still in charge and in complete control of your free will.

There are many forms of hypnosis and depending on the client and their specific issue; Vanessa personally tailors treatment to her client’s individual needs using some or all of the methods mentioned below.

Traditional hypnotherapy involves the hypnotist to guide and embed suggestions to the client’s subconscious mind. The client is led and given instructions to change. This type of hypnotherapy often covers over the root cause of the client’s problem, it still very effective especially for people who do not want to open up old wounds. For example, in the treatment of insomnia the patient is given positive suggestions to sleep, those with low self esteem are given suggestions to feel confident and pregnant women are instructed to have feelings of well being.

Advanced hypnotherapy also known as cognitive hypnotherapy is guided by the hypnotist for the client to identify the patterns, memories, beliefs and what the root cause of the problem is at the subconscious level. It is a process of investigation of where the problem is from, how the subconscious has relayed and stored the information and what it needs to change, given the appropriate instructions and gaining agreements with the parts of the self, body and mind.

Post-hypnotic suggestions are given to clients to take affect later in the waking state and carried out minutes, days or years later. For example, the next time they see a spider, the irrational fear of seeing a spider could be given a post hypnotic suggestion that you are calm and relaxed, it is harmless, small and you have no feelings or emotions attached to it. Just as they are getting on with their life, you will get on with yours. The sensations you would be directed to experience is pleasant.

NLP-hypnosis applies strategies, and techniques through guided visualisation to re-programme, adapt or change the past and create the new by using all your sensory perceptions, your creative mind will direct parts of you to become congruent and agree acceptance of your desires. The process of NLP-hypnosis may include metaphors, analogies, conflict resolution, modelling, and future pacing the life you want in the future to list a few.

Self-hypnosis teaches you to learn how to communicate with your subconscious mind for yourself. It is through active dialogue with your unconscious mind you can develop the results and outcomes you want in your life. By learning to dialogue with your subconscious is like having a best friend, who will support you at all times, and never let you down. By using your subconscious it means you will utilise 100% of your mind rather than just 10%.

If you are committed, integrating the various methods, in addition adding NLP it makes it a very powerful and strong treatment that is practically impossible not to succeed in achieving your goals.
