Hypnotherapy/myths and legends
I am still often asked the questions... does it work and of course the next and obvious question, will I make them cluck like a chicken. well, to answer in order...yes it does and no I wont. It's understandable I suppose that some people still think that hypnotherapy is some kind of magic..well it's not. But it is a very powerful tool in helping people overcome many emotional and psychical problems.
I think many people still look at the stage hypnotist and assume we behave in the same manner. Nothing, is further from the truth. Hypnosis is mearly a nice form of relaxation at which time we can guide the client to explore the subconscious. It should be noted that at all time you are fully aware and can get up and be totally fine any time throughout the session. It isn't magic and at no time are you out of control, in fact your perceptions are more acutely focused and atuned whilst in this relaxed state.
In todays society, the power of the psyche is far more understood than it was in the days of Freud. His ideas though and suppositions opened the door to modern day hypnotherapy ,hypnoanalysis and psychotherapy.
The other evening I was chatting to some people about panic attacks. They were consulting me as to how we could work to bring about a cessation of these emotionally crippling episodes. Most people I have treated for panic attacks have told me more or less the same, that they thought they were having a heart attack/palpitations and the like, trouble breathing and complete confusion as to where these feelings came from. Many have told me they have an idea what has triggered these attacks but if that were so, it is quite possible that there would be no emotional response. So I explained that when treating This debilitating symptom, I seach for the initial sensitizing event, the trigger, that moment that we need to discover in order to release the sufferer from further attacks.
This all sounds quite straight forward they said and yes I suppose it is. Working together we can bring about great changes. Thats what hypnotherapy is all about in essence, bringing about possitive changes to every client that walks through my consuting room door. I see my work with each client as a journey, a journey on which we embark together, to bring about that positive change.

Innovative incitement.
Or finding new ideas, new methods to bring about and motivate the psyche to positive change. This is the aim of every therapist/councillor and with hypnotherapy we strive to achieve this very task.
Changing our thought patterns to accommodate the change needed to function in the way each and every one of us is designed to do. We all go on about the teachings of formative years, well these are the building blocks to the person we are. Our behaviour, our interactions with others, our fears hopes and aspirations all governed by these very teachings. That word aspiration, or desires for self, well this is where things like anxiety and stress, fears in general come into play. what are those things that hold us back from functioning and attaining our goals and dreams.
Most of us have been told throughout our lives that we mustn't do this, mustn't do that. Don't say this or that. We didn't do this or that very well. In fact our whole being is drilled into conforming to others wishes and beliefs.
Through all of this, our real self, our real personality is screaming to break free of its shackles. To stand at the top of the hill and howl at the moon, I'm free of my fetters, I will succeed, to achieve that which i desire, gathering self esteem and confidence.
Innovative thinking is the life and soul of hypnotherapy. We are always exploring new ideas and methods to incite and motivate the psyche, working on ways to help release the symptoms that hold us back.
Breaking new ground is, of course Symbio- dynamics ™ created by Terence Watts, which i have had exciting results with. It works with the major three inner processes of the psyche. That and Warriors, settlers and nomads, also by Terence Watts is innovative in its methodology of working with the outer persona. Both bring about profound and lasting change.
Freudian methods of analysis are incorporated in our work of course, ideally suited for many symptoms such as panic attacks, some weight loss, some sexual problems, abuse and behavioural problems to name a few. but that's getting away a bit from the subject at hand, 'Innovative incitement'.
In my practice I like to work closely with each client dealing with aspiration and desire aims and goals, helping to over come whatever it is holding them back from achieving them. Building confidence and teaching how to function in those situations which previously may have caused anxiety or stress. This, is where hypnotherapy excels.
The processes of the mind are, as I said before, like building blocks. Sometimes, through no fault of our own, they are not arranged in a way conducive for us to function as we wish to. With some innovative incitement and balancing of those blocks we can learn to be the real us, happily functioning to our full potential.
