My Hypnotherapy Guide

Weight loss:

Hypnosis for weight loss can work very well if it is supported with a balanced diet and exercise. The technique effects people’s subconscious mind which could reduce cravings as a result of long term hypnosis sessions. The main benefit of using the hypnosis technique is the fact that most people do not gain weight back unlike other techniques which requires only diet.

Quitting smoking:

Similar to weight loss, the technique helps you to minimize the body’s craving for nicotine and reinforce these feelings of resistance over time. If you have already tried different ways to quit smoking or have tried to stop smoking without any help but without success, you should try hypnosis.

I was introduced to hypnotherapy whilst on holiday. There were a few people managed to quit it by hypnotherapy.  I was told that the most important thing was to believe in yourself and the therapy because there is no magic way to stop craving a cigarette.  It is possible to get a few trial sessions before you start payments. Sessions may cost around £100 in many places.

Anger Management:

Anger is one of the solid emotions we have which may destroy our relationships or badly affect our health if we don’t know how to control it. Any moment or situation can be ruined in a second if you are unable to control your anger.

Moreover, heart attacks, high blood pressure, early aging skin are all connected to anger. Is it worth hurting your loved one? Is it worth the bad memories from your honeymoon? I think the answer would be no.

Anger is an emotion which can be handled for good use so hypnotherapy can help you convert your negative energy into something positive. The therapy will target your subconscious to find out what triggers the anger. Also, it teaches you how to stay calmer and see the things in a different light.

The subconscious mind has unrecognised strengths, weaknesses and knowledge, which could be the source of many problems. Our thoughts, acts and habits are stored as information. Hypnosis is a technique to access the subconscious mind aiming to change our unwanted habits and acts as well as finding solutions to our problems.

What happens during the hypnotherapy session?

The therapist’s first goal is to encourage the client to talk about their concerns and problems, building a relationship of trust between them. In the second stage, called a trance state, the client lies comfortably in a chair or sofa while the therapist talks in a slow voice to start the translations. The client may be asked to imagine something, a condition or location, for example, something like “Imagine yourself on a deserted beach….”

The length of treatments may vary from one to six sessions depending on the problem and the person.

Hypnosis therapy has been used to treat many illnesses from mental to physical for thousands of years.  The main goal of hypnotherapy is to make a person realise that they have full control of their life and they have the power to make changes through actions and habits. When hypotherapy is used effectively, it is proven to help many physical and mental health issues such as lack of confidence, anxiety, stress, losing weights, quitting smoking , insomnia, phobias and conditions.  It could also be used to treat physical conditions such as asthma, pain and irritable bowel syndrome.

According to researchers, mind plays a major role in pain management. Participants must believe the therapy and be willing to corporate it to be successful.  If you are looking for hypnotherapy for any reason, you should make sure that your hypnotherapist is licenced practitioner.  They could be family counsellors, psychologist and medical doctors. 

It is worth considering hypnotherapy if you have an unsolved condition especially if your these are affecting your health or daily social life. You have nothing to lose!

A friend of mine was very afraid of the dark and did not know what to do about it. He used to sleep with the lights on. He couldn’t stay on his own in the dark, which used to cause problems from time to time as he was a grown-up man. It sounds sad and pathetic, but it is difficult to understand the complex emotions you feel when you have such a fear. When he tried hypnotherapy he was completely overwhelmed and he now recommends it as a worthwhile solution.
