Hypnotherapy
We offer two different types of hypnotherapy for various symptoms and conditions. Your options can be discussed at a free initial consultation, and sometimes the therapies can be combined. The two types of hypnotherapy are known as Suggestion Therapy (also known as clinical hypnosis) and Analytical Hypnotherapy (also known as hypnoanlysis, or 'Pure' hypnoanalysis as it is called in our association).
Suggestion Therapy (clinical hypnosis)
Suggestion therapy is a wonderfully quick and powerful type of therapy using the state of hypnosis. In suggestion therapy the client is induced into a relaxing hypnotic state and given positive hypnotic suggestions specifically tailored to reframe and change a persons behaviour the symptoms you are wanting help with. Suggestion therapy is particularly successful for so-called minor symptoms such as smoking cessation, pre-test nerves, nail-bitting and assistance with pain control especially in relaxed childbirth therapy.
Pure Hypnoanalysis (analytical hypnotherapy)
Pure Hypnoanalysis is probably the single most Effective form of therapy available in the world today, for the resolution of anxiety, depression, phobias, fears, eating disorders and other psychological and emotional problems/symptoms.
Pure Hypnoanalysis is a highly developed form of hypnoanalysis (sometimes called hypno-analysis or analytical hypnotherapy) Hypnoanalysis, in its various forms, is practised all over the world, though only IAPH Members are trained to practice the amazing 'Pure' version.
Emotions and your mental health
Simply put, each person’s anxiety or conflict with it’s associated symptoms is the result of pent up and bottled up emotions buried deep within that persons mind. Emotions that haven’t been dealt with and continue to churn and grate at one's physic eventually creating an organic dysfunction in a biomedical system. These emotions and conflicts have quiet literally been buried in the back of our minds since our childhood and forming years. Because they have been hidden away we are unable to deal with them and ‘get over them’ as we have been designed to do. It is said ‘time is a healer’, this is not necessarily true, it is actually the release of emotion over time that allows us to move on. If you are no longer consciously aware of the conflict how can you release or get over it? You can’t, it will continue to simmer away under the surface presenting itself in anxiety disorders, phobias and all the symptoms outlined. So the most natural and gentle therapeutic way to resolve these problems is to go back to that time, recall the emotion and simply let it go.
How hypnoanalysis works
This type of hypnotherapy in which IAPH practitioners specialise involves the use of the relaxing hypnotic state for comfort and relaxation and then using the remainding session time to link experiences together (by talking about them, sometimes called free association) to eventually resolve/get rid of these internal emotions that are causing the problem or symptom.
Your safe place to let go
In essence, the success of Pure Hypnoanalysis is brought about by creating a safe environment and a relationship of trust and confidentiality where the natural therapeutic process can work, ALLOWING the client to slowly bring all the bottled up emotions to the surface. Hypnoanalysis isn't just 'counselling' or traditional psychotherapy (which takes years and thousands of hours). Hypnoanalysis isn't talking through 'any-old stuff'...every symptom caused by psychosomatic or psychological forces must have an originating cause and all we do is create a safe, caring, trusting, confidential relationship and slowly and gently help you to release those 'bottled up' emotions so that you can go on to lead a much happier and more relaxed life. Pure hypnoanalysis does not rely on insight or intellect or what the therapist considers important or significant we do not use ‘fishing techniques’, regression techniques or any other ‘invasive’ techniques. It is not something that is talked through, or smoothed over or giving up’s one’s belief to something external.
It simply facilitates a natural therapeutic process for the client allowing bottled up emotions come to the surface and ultimately resolve the real underlying cause of symptoms.
Hypnoanalysis involves a weekly session of about 50 minutes, and the course of therapy usually lasts somewhere between 6-10 sessions.
It is time to totally resolve these issues and transform your life.
