About Hypnotherapy and NLP
 






So what is Hypnotherapy, and why does it work?

Hypnosis is simply a waylaying or distraction of the critical faculty that separates the conscious and unconscious minds so that a person has access to their full mental capacity.  We all have a conscious and an unconscious part to our minds. The unconscious is in control of all those aspects of you that you do not need to spend the time thinking about, such as keeping your heart beating.  The conscious mind is where you make your everyday decisions and thought. 

The act of being hypnotised is to relax your conscious critical mind to the point where the unconscious  non critical mind can be accessed easily. The unconscious mind has no judgemental ability and will accept whatever it hears as being absolutely correct.  This allows the therapist to reprogram your mind to think the way you need it to think in order to achieve a goal that you will have chosen prior to being hypnotised. 

Although we all think that we are consciously in charge of our lives in reality we are programmed by what our unconscious mind took in when we were quite small. Consequently we find ourselves doing one thing while thinking something quite different.  Why can't we stop smoking or stop overeating when we know it is bad for us and we consciously want to stop? The answer is always in the programming of the unconscious mind. 

Hypnotherapy is currently  the fastest way to gain praxis, the integration of thought with behaviour. The reason for this is it gains direct access to the subconscious mind, dealing directly with the source of the problem.


What is NLP or Neurolinguistic Programming?


NLP is really an examination of what goes on inside your mind.  You learn how to easily and quickly change your thoughts and feelings to respond differently to your world and it puts you more in charge of  what you imagine. What we create in our imagination becomes our reality, if we change our imagined fears or beliefs we can dissolve or change them or replace them with something that works for us now.  

The brain is considered to be plastic and easily changeable.  NLP,  through the use of imagination and your five senses assists you to rapidly create new pathways or links in your brain so that the current pathways of thinking that are not working for you are replaced with new, positively functioning ones.   NLP is a very fast change Talk Therapy that puts you in charge of your life.
