Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy explained
We use our conscious minds while we are awake to interpret events and our surroundings. However, the conscious mind is merely the tip of an iceberg when compared to the power of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the source of many of our problems.
Our self-image, beliefs, habits and behaviour are stored here, but it is also a reservoir of strength and knowledge.
A skilled Therapist induces hypnosis which is a type of relaxation similar to day dreaming. In this state, the brain produces alpha waves and provides a natural way of accessing the subconscious mind to find solutions to our problems, change unwanted habits and unleash our true potential.
If you've ever arrived at a destination without remembering parts of a car journey, or been so absorbed in a book that you've become oblivious to things going on around you, you have experienced the alpha state. It's harmless and you will remain in full control at all times.
Once hypnosis has been achieved the Therapist can convince your subconscious that, for example, you are no longer afraid of flying, or spiders, or birds, etc. This type of suggestion therapy is also used to stop unwanted habits like smoking, or over-eating and results can be achieved in one or two sessions.
Analytical therapy on the other hand, is used to uncover problems originating in the past. It is the principle of cause and effect. To put it simply, every psychological or emotional symptom (effect) must have a starting point (cause). Many people describe having terrible feelings inside which are outside of their control. They don't know why they feel like it. But, the good news is, that once we find the original cause and remove it, the symptoms will disappear. Your Therapist will work with you over about 8 or 9 weekly sessions to gradually uncover the source and release you from it forever. It is the most effective solution to these debilitating conditions.
"Recently I had cause to seek professional help with certain psychological problems that were creating a serious and persistent degree of unhappiness in my life.
Helen was recommended to me and, consequently I undertook a course of counselling and hypnotherapy with her. Several powerful sessions of hypnotherapy where dark thoughts and memories were 'rooted out', were followed by sessions where positive and optimistic emotions were explored.
I would like to state that, having myself approached this therapy with an 'open heart', Helen has opened up my responses to circumstances in my life; and has reinstalled a sense of balance within my character and personality.
It pleases me to say that I have become a happy human being; and as she was recommended to me, so, in turn, I would wholeheartedly recommend her to others in need of help in their lives."
