Hypnotherapy & Analysis.
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis has been used as an aid to healing since the dawn
of mankind. It is an entirely normal mental state, experienced
by everyone every day, usually when passing into, or awakening
from sleep, or while concentrating on a specific task to
the exclusion of everything else.
A person under hypnosis is neither unconscious nor asleep,
they are in a very relaxed state. Their thinking mind is
quietened, and their immediate anxieties are dispersed -
yet their general awareness is heightened and their capacity
to communicate through speech is not impaired.
As a medium for therapy, hypnosis is unsurpassed because
it is entirely non-addictive, immediately beneficial from
the relaxation it provides and because no drugs or invasive
inducements are used.

Richard Bach.
The beneficial uses of hypnosis:
HYPNO-THERAPY.
This is a very effective with problems such as SMOKING and
WEIGHT CONTROL. By using relaxation techniques to bypass
the conscious mind it is possible to give positive suggestions
which are acceptable to the subconscious mind. These suggestions
reinforce the conscious resolve to overcome negative habits
or reactions.
PRE-EXAMINATION NERVES and DRIVING TEST FEARS also respond
well to this form of therapy.
'To be what we are and to become what
we are capable of becoming is the only end of life. 'Robert
L Stevenson.'
HYPNO-ANALYSIS.
The only effective method of relieving deep seated problems
permanently is to find the 'cause.' It is not sufficient
to treat a symptom, the cause must be found to enable a
cure.
Phobias, Lack of Confidence, Stress, Personal and Sexual
Problems, Eating Disorders, Migraine, PMT and many other
blocks to personal happiness are treated through analysis.
LIFE PATH ANALYSIS.
Background.
Many people have benefited from psychoanalysis or prolonged
counselling but sometimes these are noteffective or viable
solutions to lifes problems.
In the course of my work I came to understand that many
of the problems that effect our present life experience
are due to subconscious reactions to past events. The mind
develops many protective mechanisms to help guard us against
trauma but sometimes these safeguards become obsolete or
are no longer appropriate as we mature. As a result our
subconscious reactions often manifest as fears or phobias,
shyness and lack of confidence and many other negative traits.
What is Life Path Analysis?
To explain Life path Analysis I use the analogy of life
as a journey; every journey is made up of events that effect
the traveler. Delays, diversions, lost luggage etc will
all have an impact on the journeys outcome and the travellers
state on arrival at their destination.
Using hypnosis and the creative resources of the subconscious
mind we are able to create a map of the journey
so far. The map is punctuated with the events that have
caused concern along the way, by examining and analysing
these we are able to understand the connection they have
with present life issues.
We then go through a process of breaking down
the obstacle and releasing the resultant anxiety.
How long does it take?
Life Path Analysis can usually be completed in between 6
and 10 sessions.
HEALING WITH HYPNOSIS.
The body and mind are inseparable in the life process. It
is well known that many physical ailments have a psychological
origin and that a positive attitude tends to aid healing
and recovery.
Hypnosis is a very effective tool in galvanising the mind
and bodys resources to affect the return to normalfunction.
FEARS/ PHOBIAS, PANIC / ANXIETY ATTACKS.
Many people are effected by phobias and/or anxieties. Some
can manage by avoiding their particular problem, for others
the phobia can be totally debilitating and restrict lifes
normal activities and pleasures.
Many of my clients feel embarrassed about their fear, seeing
it as a ridiculous reaction to something that most people
wouldnt give a second thought to. I stress to all
of them that nothing is trivial if it causes concern and
no one should have to tolerate restriction to living his
or her normal life.
Hypnosis is used to help find the cause of the problem and
create a new positive response to the trigger.
Motivational techniques are employed to reinforce the process
and ensure full and permanent release of negative reactions.

world, is the you that you really want to be.' Robert Fritz.
