How Hypnotherapy Works
Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic process that can be used to help facilitate a desired cognitive or behavioural change, to allow you feel more positive and in control. This is done by accessing the natural state of hypnosis when the mind is more receptive to positive suggestions.
Hypnosis itself is a focused state of attention we go in and out of many times a day, for example when we are absorbed by a piece of music or film. There are no tricks or stage hypnosis techniques involved and you can’t be made to do anything against your will.
Many people describe the experience as deeply relaxing, or like meditation. Some say it’s like a spa for the mind. You may or may not drift in and out of sleep during the session; the treatment is effective either way. Many clients have said they favour it over other complementary therapies because it’s drug-free and needle-free and it can be done remotely.
The number of sessions required varies depending on your individual situation. For many, 4 to 10 sessions are adequate to see desired change. Top-up sessions can also help by reinforcing the outcome of your sessions over the longer term, or to apply similar techniques to different issues.
There are many reasons why clients choose to have hypnotherapy online….
It eliminates the time required to travel to an appointment away from your home or place of work.
You are likely to be able to retain an enhanced sense of relaxation for longer without the need to travel directly from your session.
You may feel more relaxed from the outset given the familiarity and comfort of your own setting, which can only have a positive effect on the outcome of your hypnotherapy.
Online sessions are more cost effective since they don’t incur the overheads associated with premises, time and travel.
Provided you have access to a private space and internet connection, it is completely accessible for anyone, including people who may be housebound, have physical difficulties or disabilities, or are too unwell to travel.
