Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a generally misunderstood therapy, thanks to poor films and the silly mystique encouraged by stage hypnotists.

There is nothing magic, mystical, mysterious, controlling or unethical about hypnotherapy. It is simply professional therapy using the state of relaxation known as hypnosis.

Hypnosis

The word comes from the greek work for sleep - hypnos. It actually describes the natural state of relaxation between awake and asleep that we have come to know as "hypnosis".  You go through this state every time you fall asleep and every time you wake. If you can sleep, you can use hypnosis or self hypnosis.

  • Everyone who is capable of sleep can enter hypnosis.
  • You know what is going on, you are not controlled.
  • You can hear what is being said.
  • It is a natural state, you go through it every time you go to sleep.
  • It is not magical or mystical.
  • It has nothing to do with any faith or religion other than the state is similar physically to trances and deep prayer.
  • You do not need a deep state of hypnosis for therapy to work.
  • Rapid inductions are not therapeutic, slow relaxing inductions are far more valid in therapy.
  • Hypnosis is not a therapy, it is a state of relaxation.
  • Stage hypnotists are in no way qualified as therapists.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the use of a variety of therapies in the relaxed state known as hypnosis. Therefore you need to be a qualified therapist in order to use it. It is easy to induce a state of hypnosis, it is the therapy part that requires far more professional skill. This is why stage hypnotists should be avoided.

Methods used include:

  • Visualisation
  • Analysis
  • Affirmation
  • Autogenics
  • Regression
  • Positive self image
  • Advanced psychotherapy skills and CBT
  • Stress Innoculation Therapy

NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP uses a similar state to a hypnotic trance, only far lighter. It is known as an "altered state" rather than a "hypnotic state" since it is less relaxed, and indeed sometimes uses an "up" state instead. NLP is actually not a therapy in it's own right, it is instead a modelling tool. A number of brilliant therapists of their day were modelled by the founders of NLP in order to try to enable recreation of their abilities. The result was NLP.


What are NLP and Hypnotherapy used for?

They can be used for their primary goal -  cognitive behavioural change. In other words changing the way we think and behave in certain situations. It can also be used for dealing with past events and recovering from them.

Part of cognitive behavioural change is dealing with phobias and fears using variations of stress innoculation therapy. This makes both hypnotherapy and NLP highly effective in dealing with any irrational fear. 

In the same way cognitive behavioural work, and motivational affirmations and visualisations are highly effective in making positive changes for:

  • Self image
  • Sports
  • Sales
  • Weight loss motivation
  • Addictions
  • Exams and public speaking
  • Other positive change issues
Both Hypnotherapy and NLP are most effective when combined with other CBT Cognitive Behavioural Change Training! Look for a therapist with additional CBT / Psychotherapy/ Coaching experience and qualification.
