Questions Answered About Hypnotherapy Treatment

Hypnotherapy Treatment and how it works
I have had numerous articles published lately and many people
have contacted me to ask more about how treatment plans are
decided upon for clients Most of these individuals have been
suffering form panic attacks or phobias So I have addressed the
core of the question here for all to read, and it is my sincere
desire that this helps anyone considering hypnotherapy or
psychotherapy as a treatment for their problems to understand
just how the qualified and experienced professional may proceed
(or in my case, will proceed)
Unless presenting with a need for simple habit breaking
including smoking, weight control in some cases, driving
test/exam nerves, help with general confidence and public
speaking etc, most people need some form of analytical therapy
at the commencement of their treatment in order to ensure that
any route causes no matter how slight or weak they may be, are
found and resolved before proceeding on to ensure future success
for the client
It’s a bit like looking for the splinter in the finger and if it
is still hanging in there, remove it first before applying the
antiseptic cream and plaster or whatever
The average duration of treatment sessions is six, although much
depends upon the style of working that is most effective for the
client, balanced with which style of working is best to resolve
the particular problem they have This is where thorough
training in a multimodality approach and practical experience of
many types of problem with many types of client is essential to
the therapist being sufficient to help in most cases It’s a bit
like a mechanic having a large tool box full of different and
specialist tools He/she will use the appropriate tool for the
job, or part of the job being tackled at that time and so be
able to effectively work through to a successful conclusion for
the job in hand If on the other hand, the only tool in their
tool box is a hammer, they will tend to treat everything like a
nail (all situations receiving the same rigid treatment
pattern)
I, along with many of my colleagues, uses a multi-tool
(multi-therapeutic technique) type approach and this allows for
a very thorough yet very flexible way of working with clients no
matter what their problem and no matter what their personality
type, fears, concerns, etc People come in all types, shapes and
sizes, and their personality type, concerns and fears, likes and
dislikes, coupled with ‘what works best for them’ dictates the
way forward Even then, the way forward can not be too rigid, as
mid stream corrections in direction, speed, attitude, etc might
be required in order to keep on the best course for resolution
of cause and effective removal of symptoms Sometimes it’s like
lateral thinking That is to say, that to get from A to B, you
must first go to G, then to Y, then to D, and finally from there
to B Sometimes the most direct route is best Sometimes the
client does not feel comfortable with this direct approach, and
more importantly, their subconscious mind does not feel inclined
to go this route When the subconscious mind is resisting one
approach, we would be very foolish to continue with this route,
as the powerful subconscious mind will always win out in the
end Therefore the experienced therapist will change tack, or
use another tool of you will, in order to continue with
effective treatment
The powerful subconscious mind is truly a wonderful and amazing
thing It is so powerful that will-power will never overcome it
Direct assault on it’s deeply help core values will only produce
further problems for the client, and if we confront their belief
system head-on, we are in for many extra sessions of repair work
before we can proceed (if we can proceed at all with this
therapeutic relationship)
To enlighten readers further, the tools I would recommend are in
your therapist’s tool box might consist of:
Hypnoanalysis (including direct regression to cause, free
association, parts therapy) Suggestion Therapy (including
metaphor) Neuro-Linguistic Programming Gestalt Therapy
Personality Profiling and Balancing Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy (CBT) (a brief version of psychotherapy)
Also many good therapists are also armed with further and less
main-stream technoiques which may prove to be very useful on
occassion:
Past Life Regression Therapy Shamanic Journeying Energy Fields
Therapy* Emotional Freedom Technique* Deep Relaxation Therapy
Self-Hypnosis Training
*Variations and adaptations of Kinesiology type techniques
Again, your good therapist will be able to explain all of these
to you, and some will use one more than the others which is fine
as long as that suits you and your needs
I do hope this has all helped in your better understanding of
the fascinating world of hypnosis and psychotherapy
I hold free workshops to help people to understand the uses of
the above therapies on an ad-hoc basis If you would like to
