Therapy FAQ
Hypnosis
It might be easier to consider hypnosis first. Hypnosis is the ability to induce a natural trance in another. We all access our own trances many times a day, we know these relaxed times as day dreaming, reading a book, engrossed in a film, just before we drift into sleep or waking in the morning. These natural relaxed states are known as hypniodal states; because we all do this naturally we are all able to enjoy hypnosis. As the therapist understands what we do before we go into a trance the client is asked to reproduce these phenomena's and so naturally goes into a trance.
Can any one be hypnotised?
If the person wants to yes, we all have the ability to accept or to reject others suggestions through our internal resistances.
Therapy
Where does the therapy come in?
Whilst our mind is more open to change different therapeutic interventions may be used. These may be classified under the headings of Direct Suggestion, Counselling, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Desensitisation and many other traditional approaches to therapeutic change.
It is believed that in hypnosis we accept this therapeutic change at an unconscious level and so achieve our aim quickly and thoroughly.
The advantage to the client is to dramatically reduce time spent in therapy, add to this the intervention of modern techniques within the therapeutic relationship and we can understand the success and popularity of this approach to change.
