Hypnotherapy in Surrey

Hypnotherapy is the key that enables the vast power of the mind to bring about positive and beneficial changes. 

Hypnosis is a natural state of heightened awareness, where you are able to open your mind to beneficial suggestions and where you can make use of your imagination to help make positive changes in your life.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool (not a panacea), however a really adaptive creative, powerful tool. It can help establish the correct neural pathways in the brain to establish a new way of interacting with specific situations: this includes establishing new, healthier habits (whilst breaking unhealthy habits). In the case of healthy habits, they need to be established in day to day life, so they will need to be reinforced; just as we may need to practice a new skill for a while - until the new constructive behaviour becomes the new habit.

What does it feel like to be hypnotised?

Everybody experiences trance differently - it is a unique experience, but the client is always in control. In general a hypnotic trance is a pleasant, relaxing and tranquil experience. While hypnotised you will be aware of all physical sensations around you, perhaps even noticing sounds you wouldn't otherwise be aware of. After a traumatic incident such as a car accident or violent robbery, a subject under hypnosis may be able to recall with extreme accuracy, car numbers, details etc that their subconscious mind has remembered but their conscious mind has overlooked.

​

When you are fully aware again you may be able to recall everything that happened while you were in your trance, depending how deep your trance was. Remember way back to this morning when you were half awake and half asleep? You couldn't be bothered to wake yourself up properly but because you weren't really all the way deep down asleep you could appreciate all the comfortable feelings that go with being snuggled down in your bed. 

​

Well that's pretty much how it feels to be hypnotised. You're not asleep but you're not awake either. Hypnotherapy is rather like being in a daydream, it is a state called "trance".It might be a deep trance or it might only be a light trance. Whatever level you achieve it's absolutely the right level for you at that moment. With hypnosis there's no right or wrong way to experience it, there's just different ways and they're all good 

Many people experience a trance like state while driving a car - the journey is often made on "automatic pilot" mode, how many times do you arrive home unable to recall the journey or enjoy daydreaming? 

 

We all access hypnogogic, this is the first phase of sleep and sometimes enjoy hypnopompic that moment when we have an opportunity to lay in. 

 

These are all hypnoidal phases known as hypnosis.

How is hypnotherapy different to other therapies?

Hypnotherapy is a brief strategic therapy - one that is aimed specifically at finding a resolution to your problem as quickly, safely and efficiently as possible. It is not a long drawn out method of solving a problem. A skilled hypnotherapist will have the ability during a case study to ascertain whether you need to regress back to find the root of the problem, or whether it is more applicable to use future progression techniques to change tomorrow. 

 

Hypnotherapy utilises hypnosis, a state of altered consciousness in which the therapist can help you to access the deeper levels of awareness, to which you are usually oblivious in your normal day-to-day functioning. More often than not, what you are experiencing as a problem, whether emotional, psychological or psychosomatic (i.e. actually producing physical symptoms) is only a surface EFFECT of a deeper underlying mental/emotional CAUSE. It is at these deeper levels of consciousness that we as hypnotherapists work with you, to bring about change in the way you feel, think and behave. 

 

A skilled hypnotherapist will always work with your co-operation and in the most caring and nurturing manner. If left untreated, problems can sometimes create a ripple effect into other areas of your life, and what many people find is, on completion of effective hypnotherapy, other problems seem to melt away. Life is what you make it, so why not make it better? Hypnotherapy can improve your life for the better on a daily basis including the way you feel about both yourself and the world around you. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
