Hypnotherapy is a form psychological therapy that deals with one’s subconscious mind.
Everything that we have experienced, from birth to now, is stored in the subconscious and we are usually unaware of it. The subconscious dictates physical behavior, that is, how people feel about themselves. Hypnotherapy is a means of releasing negative emotions and thoughts that can make one unhappy and unable to lead a normal, fulfilled life.
Why hypnosis could be ideal for you
The most common questions people ask when considering visiting a hypnotherapist is whether hypnosis really helps and what the benefits of visiting a hypnotherapist are. Some of us are understandably wary about choosing hypnotherapy treatment due to the misconceptions propagated by films and TV. However, hypnotherapy has several benefits that are worth considering.
Anxiety
Many people dread taking medication to cure anxiety because they fear becoming hooked to these extremely addictive medicines. Others just can’t find the right medication. Hypnotherapy is a drug-free and effective method to calm anxiety. By applying hypnotic suggestions to get rid of triggers of anxiety, people with anxiety issues can sometimes get total relief from anxiety with the help of hypnosis.
Quitting smoking
Low self-esteem and unresolved emotions can lead to undesirable habits and addictions like smoking. Smokers see their habit as a form of reward or comfort. Consciously, people know that smoking is harmful but they find it impossible to quit. The reason is that their habit is embedded within the subconscious, which always wins whenever there’s an inner conflict.
Treating someone with an addiction to smoking should be taken seriously by a hypnotherapist because there are so many different factors involved. If you’re addicted to smoking, hypnosis can really help you overcome this habit. Many different teachings and styles of hypnotherapy are used during various complexion sessions, including regression, Neuro-Linguistic programming and Ericksonian therapy.
Hypnosis can help patients regain control of their thoughts and actions to ensure they make the right decisions. It also helps relieve physical addiction symptoms. Hypnotherapy has been shown to help banish addictions permanently so that the patient doesn’t relapse into addiction after a short time.
Weight loss
We eat to live, but when we eat more than we need, it is called overeating, which can lead to weight issues like obesity.
Some people eat to comfort or reward themselves. As children, we were given treats for achieving something positive. According to psychologists, this is a type of conditioning. Good deeds are rewarded with positive stimulus. Therefore, people carry this message in their minds until adulthood.
Hypnotherapy has been shown to be much more effective for weight loss than dieting alone. Medical professionals hypothesize that hypnosis helps those who have psychological reasons for overeating or hanging onto their extra weight.
Depression
Depression covers a broad range of states including negativity and clinical depression-a serious disorder where one suffers an abnormal and persistent lowering of mood as well as diminished interest in day-to-day life.
Hypnotherapy can help you come to terms with your situation and dispel your negative feelings. It may also be combined with cognitive behavioural therapy.
