Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is one of the most evidence-based forms of Hypnotherapy around. It is built on the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which has a proven track record for improving many mental health problems. It then combines CBT practice with the powerful process of hypnotherapy wherein deep change can be facilitated.
It can be used to treat anxiety, depression, perfectionism, weight problems, addictions, shyness, phobias, negativity, insomnia and many more conditions.
The key difference in this form of therapy say compared to Counselling or Hypnoanalysis is that it is problem focused, is much faster in action (around 6 treatments) and empowers the individual with respect to relapse prevention.
There is added therapeutic benefit from combining CBT and Hypnotherapy as opposed to just applying one or the other. This has been proven in cases of weight loss, depression and anxiety.
What can you expect?
The main methods you will meet are relaxation and a variety of techniques for rebalancing your nervous system plus an exploration of your thinking patterns or deep core fears.
We aim to rebalance/restructure all of these so that you can function happily and effectively in life.
We aim for integrated functioning across thoughts, feeling and behaviour because conflict drains your energy and makes for an unhappy life, so we work to resolve conflict.
Great emphasis is placed on equal standing within a very powerful Therapeutic Alliance. You will be supported to make your own change and you will be deeply involved in exploring the problem you have and the best way of tackling it.
Treatment often involves you working on issues outside the therapy room, but you will be given detailed guidance and appropriate support material. You will develop enormous self-knowledge and skills like self-hypnosis which will become a life-long and effective self-management tool.
We want you to get better and to be able to manage any potential relapse through preventive action and shoring up the self-management skills you have been taught.
