Hypnosis: Nudging Us Towards Accelerated Healing

What is it and is it for me?

Clinical Hypnotherapy - Your questions answered!

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention that draws you into a theta brain wave state. It is

commonly a pleasant and relaxed experience. Research has shown we are more receptive to learning and shifts in perspective whilst in this state, opening us up to opportunities for neural plasticity. Your hypnotherapist guides you into this state of increased focus and then verbally embeds the agreed upon content that will support you to live a fuller life.

What is Strategic Psychotherapy?

Strategic Psychotherapy is a person-centred, individualised toolkit for creating meaningful

changes in the way you approach life.

It is solution-focused and concerned with the present-day rather than the past. We harness

change as a process and not a single-step destination. This is how we achieve long term results. It is a short term therapy that quickly identifies the common distortions and biases that people run as patterns in their everyday lives. Your clinician is able to provide education on these errors in thinking and doing, replacing them with suggestions for more effective approaches to interpreting your experiences.

The Strategic approach is aimed at giving you the skills to reclaim your sense of internal control, rather than being at the mercy of external forces. It is based on the fundamental premise that change is possible and probable with the right mindset.

Clinical Hypnosis in Strategic Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy analyses the barriers that are holding you back with a solution-focused goal in mind. Clinical Hypnosis may be one tool we suggest to Help Yourself Heal.

Hypnotherapy utilises all of your existing strengths and coping strategies to make change easier right from your very first session. We support you to understand where you may benefit from learning new skills and perspectives. This is how we bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be in your life.

Strategic Hypnotherapy is time efficient and cost effective - we don't endlessly rehash the past. We stay present-day focused and give you the steps to take as you move along the

process of positive change.

Help Yourself Heal uses a person-centred and individually tailored approach. Based

on the Ericksonian method, you are always in control of the process.

You are almost certain to enjoy it as an uplifting experience. Sessions are generally 1 hour long and your treatment plan is revised after every session. This ensures you are maximising your investment in therapy.

Our Approach to Anxiety

Help Yourself Heal understands anxiety as a learnt response. A process of biased thinking

and behaviours that have become ingrained over time via repetition. We deconstruct the lens through which you perceive and act in the world. We replace these lens with new frames that free you from your self limiting beliefs.

Our Approach to Pain Management

Help Yourself Heal approaches the experience of pain with compassion. We support you to achieve manageable levels of discomfort, through teaching you powerful self-implementable techniques in a supportive and safe setting. You are always in control.

Is Strategic Hypnotherapy For Me?

The Ericksonian model of Strategic Hypnotherapy places control back in the client's

hands.

Change requires a commitment to the process.

Your hypnotherapist will ask you to complete simple, and generally enjoyable, homework between sessions. These tasks are negotiated between you both and multiply the positive outcomes you will achieve during appointments.

If you are ready to see constructive change, hypnotherapy is likely a good fit

for you!
