Does Hypnotherapy
Actually Work? A question I'm asked
often as a hypnotherapist is whether hypnotherapy actually works. Hypnosis is a natural state, a level of altered awareness like those we can gently go in
and out of ourselves through our day. When concentrating on a
task, and very deeply involved in it, you’ll notice time seems to go by
slightly differently. You might be surprised to discover that what feels like
20 minutes was in fact over an hour. Similarly, if you've ever driven a very
familiar route, you might have arrived at your destination to discover you couldn’t
remember the journey, because you were so deeply involved in thought about
something else. In hypnotherapy we are
able to utilise this natural tool, by applying it in a specific and
concentrated way to address areas in our life we want to change. Our subconscious mind is a bit like a database,
holding our beliefs, habits, expectations and our memories - all of the things
that are stored on a deeper level. Our conscious mind dips in and out of that
subconscious information, and those things can influence our behaviour and
choices in ways that we often don't consciously recognise. In hypnosis we can
reframe erroneous, outdated information which is not serving us positively
anymore. We can look at our behaviours,
habits and thoughts in a different way, and suggest alternative ways of
perceiving and behaving which can allow us to move forward more positively and
effectively. Adapted from an article in LoveLocalMag.com May/June 2016 by Vicky McLeod, Meridian Wellbeing Hypnotherapy by Vicky McLeod, Meridian Wellbeing Hypnotherapy |
