Clinical Hypnotherapy combines Counselling,
Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Assertiveness Training, EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming
(NLP). Relaxation, Visualisation, Regression Analysis and Desensitisation. Clinical Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems. It is
a safe and natural experience and can be successful where other, more conventional methods of treatment have been slow to
produce the desired results. However it is not a substitute for seeing your own GP who know each patients full medical
history.
The majority of normal people will
dip into some form of hypnotic state several times a day, typically when day dreaming or drifting off to sleep at night. The
hypnotic process is something that you allow yourself to take part in and not something that is imposed on you. It's a
way of opening your mind to unlock your own potential in order to give yourself the best opportunity to achieve your own realistic
goals. The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe, being neither asleep nor awake. The state
is characterised by a pleasant state of relaxation, sometimes described as an altered state of consciousness, into which individuals
allow themselves to enter, so that desired beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the unconscious mind. Thus, hypnosis
is a natural, effective way of making contact with a tremendous reservoir of unrecognised potential strength and knowledge.
