COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT HYPNOTHERAPY


  • DO I NEED HYPNOTHERAPY?
If you have problems with anxiety such as tension, fears, fatigue, and certain chronic physical complaints; if you feel you are a compulsive overeater or in some other way you have lost control over an addiction; if you find it difficult to get along in your work or in your relationships; if you have a school, sex, or marital problems; or if you merely feel irritable, unhappy, and believe your are not getting the most out of life, hypnotherapy will be of help to you.

  • How does hypnotherapy work?
Nervous symptoms and unwarranted unhappiness are the product of inner emotional conflicts. In hypnotherapy you are helped to understand your conflicts. In this way it is possible to do something constructive about solving them. Since our bodies and minds work as one system, bodily symptoms such as intestinal problems and chronic pain respond readily to hypnosis treatment.

  • What exactly is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of altered consciousness that occurs normally in every person just before he/she enters into the sleep state. In therapeutic hypnosis we prolong this brief interlude so that we can work within its bounds.

  • What is the value in hypnosis?
Not all physical or emotional problems or ingrained habits are accesible with the conscious mind. Studies on memory show that we carry within the cells of our bodies the stored memory of everything that has ever happened to us, right back to the womb! The subconscious mind stores these memories like data in a computer. Hypnosis allows us a direct path to the subconscious mind and hypnotherapy has the added benefit of "re-writing" the negative "scripts" from which you may have been living all your life and replacing them with more healthy and positive suggestions and habits.
  • How can hypnotherapy work when other forms of therapy haven't helped with my particular problem?
The human mind is extremely suggestible and is being bombarded constantly with suggestive stimuli from the outside, and suggestive ideas and thoughts from the inside. A lot of suffering is the consequence of negative thoughts and impulses invading your mind from areas of the subconscious mind. By the time most of us reach adulthood, we have built up negative ways of thinking, feeling and acting which persist like bad habits. And because they are habits, they are hard to break. In hypnotherapy, we attempt to replace these negative attitudes with positive ones through the power of suggestion in the area of the subconscious mind, where the old habits originated. Talk therapy alone, while often helpful, does not reach the areas of the subconscious where many of our emotional and physical problems sit, just waiting for attention.
