Hypnotherapy explained

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis - a light state of relaxation - combined with other therapeutic techniques (e.g. suggestive or analytical therapy) for the treatment of many anxiety or stress related disorders, symptoms and conditions.

Most hypnotherapists practise a mixture of different therapies, including some analytical work, but predominately suggestion therapy mixed with a smidgeon of N.L.P. ( neuro linguistic programming . IAH Members however, practice a totally unique form of analytical hypnotherapy, that we believe is Faster, more Effective and more Empowering, than any other therapy available today. We call this therapy 'Pure Hypnoanalysis'.

Types of hypnotherapy available at the Bath and West Hypnotherapy Clinic

Clinical Hypnotherapy
Suggestion Therapy is basicly planting a positive suggestion into the subconscious mind to counter the symptoms of negative conditioning I.E. „You will feel totally confident when you are engaged in public speaking„. This type of therapy is hugely successful at removing symptoms like blushing, shyness, phobias, smoking, low self esteem. The list is endless. However as these problems are symptoms of what is known as 'free floating anxiety' another symptom will soon replace it. Suggestion therapy will remove the symptom , but won't remove the cause and is therefore only really suited as an excellent quick fix, short term remedy , for example if a client has to get a flight as an emergency and has a fear of flying , or exam nerves.

Suggestion therapy also forms part of Easy Smoking Cessation.

Analytical therapy ( Pure Hypnoanalysis )
Hypno-analysis, a very special type of hypnotherapy, is one of the best methods in the world for treating emotional, psychological or anxiety-related problems. IAH hypnotherapists specialise in a 'pure' type of hypno-analysis which is not taught nor practiced anywhere else in the world. It is a uniquely successful therapy which allows the client to resolve the very root cause of their problem, helping them to change their lives signifcantly in a short space of time.

Analytical therapy is used to discover the sensitizing event ( the cause ) of psychological problems. The critical factor in a child is developed by eleven. Before that the child interprets information literally. When the child experiences emotional trauma outside of their everyday growing pains the psyche either disavows it and its put in denial, or it is swept away into a secret place .PURE HYPNOANALYSIS will allow the emotional content release. The emotion once released will take with it its many direct and indirect symptoms. The sensitizing event can then be viewed as an adult, and placed in proper perspective.

The entire Analysis normally takes between eight and twelve sessions, lasting approximately one hour per session. Hypnoanalysis will find and release the cause of the problem - and hence the symptoms disappear. Emotional problems respond particularly well to Hypnoanalysis. The object of analysis is to bring you to a 'moment of surprising and liberating enlightenment', a complete and lasting release, by finding and removing the originating causes - as opposed to mere control of symptoms by; dieting, anti-depressants, herbal remedies, smoking, drinking etc.
