Hypnotherapy shares the power of hypnosis with anyone who is interested
in using hypnosis to improve their life. Hypnotherapy can help you increase
your self-knowledge and gain a better understanding of your inner self – the
person you really are, the person you strive to be – and helps you become
that person. By working with a Hypnotherapist, a person can resolve any
emotional and/or psychological issue, healing, transforming and growing.
Hypnotherapy changes self-sabotaging behaviors and attitudes into positive
ones. Our subconscious wants to repeat negative behaviors and attitudes
because these usually have the strongest emotional charge associated with
them. As these become reinforced they become habitual and very hard to
break. Most people will try using willpower to take charge of behaviors and
attitudes they want to change, by consciously telling themselves not to do
something. However, the subconscious mind does not respond to
negatives and so such a strategy often fails. Telling oneself “what not to
do” is like telling yourself not to think of a yellow rubber duck. This just
makes you think only of a yellow rubber duck. Hypnotherapy replaces
thoughts about negative behaviors and attitudes with positive thoughts
directly at their root in the subconscious mind.
Hypnotherapists use hypnosis for three primary reasons:
- Help access the underlying reasons or past experiences related to
any habit, attitude or emotion. - Present ideas or suggestions to let go of the negative and replace it
with positive life aspirations. - Use mental imagery or metaphors, even if only symbolic, to
encourage positive reinforcement.
Hypnotherapy assists in creating life-affirming changes to be made, by
revealing a person’s insight, inner wisdom and resources that reside deep
within. All unwanted behaviors and attitudes have underlying, deep-rooted
causes within the subconscious mind. It is important to uncover and
address these causes, so that the effects of hypnotherapy will be long-
lasting. If hypnosis is used only to redirect the symptoms, and the inherent
causes are not exposed, the underlying problem may come out in a different
way. For example, if someone wants to lose weight, and suggestions are
just given to their subconscious to make them want less food, they might
find themselves having mood swings, because the root cause of their
overeating has not been addressed. Accessing the subconscious mind
through hypnosis allows these deep-seated issues to be uncovered and
dealt with, even if the conscious mind is no longer aware of them.
