Hypnotherapy & NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
What is Hypnotherapy?
If you have a habit you can't break, or just want to feel better about yourself, hypnotherapy can help you make the changes you desire, no matter how entrenched the condition has become.
Hypnotherapy is a perfectly safe and natural way of using your inner mind to absorb new, helpful suggestions, and to reorganise your thoughts and behaviours to bring about beneficial change. There are many examples of hypnotic, or trance, states in everyday life, daydreaming is just one, another is that feeling of being completely immersed in a good book or TV programme. You also pass through this deeply relaxed state just before you fall asleep at night and again as you wake up in the morning, so there is nothing to fear and everything to gain.
Hypnotherapy is the term used when a properly qualified therapist (often a psychotherapist) uses Hypnotherapy as a tool for therapeutic purposes. A Clinical or Medical hypnotherapist is the most highly trained in advanced Hypnotherapy techniques and can also be employed in hospitals and for emergency situations.
Hypnotherapy cannot force anyone do something they do not want to do. It's important to remember this because it means that nobody can make you do anything unless you actually want to.
Advanced Hypnotherapy combines Hypnotherapy with NLP techniques to produce powerful and deep reaching solutions which are also safe and gentle, fast and long lasting.
What is NLP?
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) uses specific words and visualisations to enable change, helping you deal with unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
Neuro - means the brain and nervous system
Linguistic - means the verbal and non-verbal language we use to communicate
Programming - is the way we put all this together to create behaviour
Within your brain you have two minds, a conscious mind and an unconscious mind. When you get out of bed in the morning your brain starts running programs stored in the deep unconscious part of your mind, that's the part that remembers how to do all the things you do automatically, like walking and driving a car for example.
Once formed, a mind programme will produce the same results again and again. Some programs work well for you but others can be holding you back and having undesirable results.
Sometimes you have learned a mind programme which worked for you in the past but is now no longer needed and may be getting in the way of the changes you wish to make.
NLP re-trains the unconscious mind in a fast and effective way,
allowing you to leave behind unhelpful patterns and make the changes you desire.
There are many benefits of using advanced hypnotherapy to stop smoking including:
Ease of stopping: - you only need to sit or lie back, relax and listen.
Success rate: - because Hypnotherapy involves your whole mind and body in stopping, the success rate for Hypnotherapy (90%) is far higher than using patches or gum (30%), and considerably higher than just relying on will power (?).
Relieves stress: - the scripts are written specifically to also help relieve stress, boost confidence and enhance self-esteem.
Safe and natural: - you’ve been using your mind every day since you were born, with the help of Hypnotherapy and NLP you let your mind take control for your benefit.
Feel good: - the words and phrases woven into the scripts are designed to eliminate cravings or withdrawal symptoms, and to make you feel good when you say “No thanks, I don’t smoke."
