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.
