What conditions and problems can be helped by hypnotherapy?
Top Question: What happens at a treatment session? Answer: As I have said, everyone is different and the actual techniques used will vary from person to person according to need. Some people respond best to a body relaxation programme, others to breathing techniques, others to imagining a favourite relaxing place and others to a numerical (counting down) approach. I tailor it to peoples needs at the time. Once the client is in a deeply relaxed state I will address the problem using carefully worded suggested words and metaphors – using material that the client has presented to me. That’s my chance to get creative! After this I will bring the client back to normal consciousness. Quite often the session may be tape recorded so the client can listen to it again at home on a daily basis which accelerates the process of change. I also make a point of teaching many of my clients self-hypnosis as I believe that this is a wonderful tool for change that can be used at any time.
