How do the Natal Hypnotherapy™ CDs work?
The Birth preparation CD guides mothers into a deeply relaxed state using breathing techniques, guided imagery and visualisation. Once she is in a deeply relaxing day dream like state, the CD continues with a detailed visualisation of giving birth from a physiological perspective. It is like she is going through a dress rehearsal of giving birth in a calm, natural way. This way she is practising how she would like to feel and respond to the sensations and changes during labour. The CD also includes “triggers” such as “each new face you meet reminds you of the confidence you have in your body… each contraction encourages you to relax… the sights and sounds of the hospital float over you and allow you to remain wonderfully relaxed”. This way you are using the things which may otherwise have caused you some anxiety and turning them into something positive and useful. By listening to the CD over and over again before labour your body and mind become more and more familiar with the processe
