What Is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis, also known as trance, is a natural and gentle state. We go into trance many times throughout the day. Have you driven somewhere and arrived at your destination realising that you were on autopilot for most of the journey? Or perhaps you have read a book that was so good; you were completely immersed in it? Or maybe you catch yourself just staring out of the window with glazed over eyes? This is trance, a time when we are not really concentrating on what we are focused on.
When in that beautiful, relaxed state our subconscious brain becomes more receptive to suggestions and ideas, allowing us to make positive decisions with ease. We are able to think about things logically rather than emotionally, and then find the solutions we seek, whether that is relieving stress & anxiety, learning how to build confidence and self-esteem, relaxing or taking steps to enjoy something new in life.
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a talking therapy where the aim is to help us overcome our issues and symptoms. There are many different types of talking therapies.
Solution focused therapy is what it suggests, a focus on finding solutions, rather than reliving past traumas and issues. We can acknowledge they happened but here we concentrate on our preferred future.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution focused hypnotherapy is a collaboration between hypnosis and psychotherapy. We find small steps that will move us towards our goal, whatever that goal is: having more confidence, feeling calmer, being in control of our eating, being happier……….the options are endless! We then consolidate these ideas with hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy is not like stage hypnosis, which is purely for entertainment. I have no control over any of my clients. We are a partnership working together to aid you in reaching your potential and realising your dreams.
