What
is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy places emphasis
on the present feelings and beliefs that a person has, particularly
where painful emotions and maladaptive/ behaviour are sabotaging
a full experience of life. In other words, Cognitive Behavioural
Hypnotherapy teaches people how to overcome the past by
focusing on the present. It also shows how to implement
healthy and realistic alternatives to current problematic
psychological patterns.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Simply speaking, hypnosis is an altered state of
consciousness, Hypnotherapy therefore, is the use
of an altered state of consciousness, or trance, for a therapeutic
endpoint. This means that people are not treated with hypnosis
but are treated in hypnosis. Hypnotism is the study
and use of suggestion with or without the presence of hypnosis,
while hypnotherapy is a form of therapy in which the use
of hypnotism constitutes the core of the treatment.
What is the Trance State or Hypnotic
State?
All hypnotic states are characterized by a tremendously
pleasant state of relaxation, which individuals allow themselves
to enter so that desired beneficial suggestions may be given
directly to the part of the mind known as the subconscious.
Under hypnosis, the conscious, rational/logical part of
the brain is temporarily bypassed, making the subconscious,
which holds our emotions, habits and behaviours receptive
to therapy.
Being in a trance state is very similar to day dreaming
or the experience we have whilst driving down a road and
not remembering how you got to your destination. Although
you were perfectly competent, adjusting to road conditions
you had no recollection of your journey, in other words
your conscious mind was 'switched off'.
- Nobody can ever be hypnotised against their will
and even when hypnotised, people still remain in complete
control of any suggestions given.
- The whole object of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is to take
back the control that has been lost and which has therefore
resulted in the symptom or problem.
The Subconscious Mind
The subconscious mind is the source of many of our problems
and self images. Our beliefs, habits and behaviours are
stored as information, very similar to data on a computer.
It is also the source of our emotions and therefore directs
nearly all of our behaviour. The subconscious is a tremendous
reservoir of our unrecognized strengths and knowledge.
Hypnosis is a natural and effective technique for accessing
the subconscious mind - the key to unleashing our potential,
changing our unwanted habits and behaviours and finding
solutions to our problems and concerns. You can literally
reprogramme your mind to create seemingly effortless changes
in you, your behaviour and your body. It is quick, effective
and safe. |
