What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is the ability to induce a natural trance in another. We all access our own trances many times a day: day dreaming, reading a book, being engrossed in a film, just before we drift into sleep or waking in the morning. These natural, relaxed states are known as hypnoidal states. Because we all do this naturally, we are all able to enjoy hypnosis. As the therapist understands what we do before we go into a trance, the client is asked to reproduce these phenomena and so, naturally, goes into a trance.
Can anyone be hypnotised? If the person wants to be, yes. We all have the ability to accept or reject others’ suggestions through our internal resistances.
Why use hypnosis? It is said that when we are in this relaxed state, we are more open to consider other ideas and suggestions because our resistance to change and new ideas is reduced.
Where does the therapy come in? Whilst our mind is more open to change, different therapeutic interventions may be used. These may be classified under the headings of Direct Suggestion, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Desensitisation and many other traditional approaches to therapeutic change. It is believed that in hypnosis, we accept therapeutic change at an unconscious level and so achieve our aim quickly and thoroughly. The advantage to the subject is to dramatically reduce time spent in therapy: add to this the intervention of modern techniques within the therapeutic relationship, and we can understand the success and popularity of this approach to change.
