What
is hypno-psychotherapy?
Hypno-Psychotherapy uses hypnosis
as an effective tool within a psychotherapeutic
environment.
As well as alleviating a range of disadvantageous
habits and many physical ailments,
Hypno-Psychotherapy also deals in deep-seated
problems. Hypno-Psychotherapists take a wide-ranging
and eclectic view in helping clients to understand
and to alleviate psychological difficulties.
The methods and strategies used in
Hypno-Psychotherapy, though powerful and often speedy
in effect, also respect and are attuned to the
qualities and characteristics of the individual
client involved. They seek to utilize and enhance the
resources and capabilities that reside in all people,
and do not by any means require the client to respond
to any standardized technique or to fit into any
standardized pattern.
While flexibility is paramount, the working
relationship in Hypno-Psychotherapy strives for
equality between client and therapist, in providing a
safe and supportive environment, where the client can
explore and clarify relevant personal matters. In
encouraging agreed modification of the client's
beliefs, emotional responses and behaviour, the
problem may require the therapist to assume a more
active or directive role. In shorter term
engagements, it can be used to inculcate skills and
overcome limiting habits or personal and social
inhibitions. During longer-term therapy, the working
relationship may present a dynamic context for the
client to examine and work through important
self-protection issues, including the reframing and
resolution of challenging early experiences and
liberation from previous blocks to personal
development.
Hypno-Psychotherapy may be valuable to anyone seeking
to resolve specific problems, or for personal
development.
