If so, you’re not alone. Most people are very sceptical … maybe because they’ve seen stage Hypnosis and it looks a little fake.
I don’t blame you for having doubts – at times it does look a little contrived!
So let’s take a very brief look at what Hypnosis is:
Have you driven the same route day after day and sometimes arrived at your destination and cannot remember the drive? Have you have watched the TV but not really seen what is on the screen? Then you have been in a trance like state just like hypnosis. Some people compare it to daydreaming or like the moment just before you go to sleep!
Once your mind is quiet and relaxed, in this trance like state, then your subconscious is open to positive suggestions given to it; the positive desires you want to happen to improve your life.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy using a combination of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), a type of therapy that aims to help you manage your problems by changing how you think and act; encourages you to talk about how you think about yourself, the world and other people, and how what you do affects your thoughts and feeling, together with hypnotherapy (hypnosis for positive change) can be very powerful as it tackles both the rational and emotional parts of the mind.
Think about this – one part of your mind wants a bar of chocolate, a cigarette or has a irrational fear; or even low self esteem based on something that happened long ago in your childhood (that’s your subconscious mind), while another part of the mind is saying “I don’t want this” (That’s your conscious mind) … and …. Guess which one wins? I think we all know the answer to that question!
Using Cognitive Hypnotherapy we can work in partnership to convince the conscious and subconscious mind to change that unwanted behavior.
