Hypnotherapy is a highly effective therapeutic technique that allows you to access the subconscious mind and heal numerous areas of your life that are out of harmony with your goals.
The mind and body are connected so everything that is happening on the outside is also happening on the inside. Through hypnotherapy sessions, you can use the power of hypnosis to access the subconscious mind and make changes at a deep level. This can help you heal physical ailments, experience pain relief, release physical limitations, resolve emotional issues, and more.
Sigmund Freud, a well-known neurologist, identified a theory called psychic determination in which he hypothesized that a symptom displayed on the surface had a deeper cause that could be found within the unconscious levels of the mind. Once this cause was uncovered and healed in that part of the brain, the symptoms would then disappear thus becoming a powerful pain reliever.
While Freud’s methods were often controversial, his theory of psychic determination laid the groundwork for what we now know about the mind-body connection. This connection is why hypnotherapy can be such a powerful healing modality and a big part of what makes it such an effective treatment. When you heal your mind, you heal your life.
Another great contribution of his was repetition compulsion, where a problem will continue to be repeated and materialize in a person until the patient’s response to it has changed. Once the problem is responded to differently, it is then eliminated.
For example, someone who has been in a car accident may have a fear of driving. This fear will continue to manifest itself until the person responds to it differently. Once you go back to the root of that experience and find peace and ease within it, the fear will dissipate and you will have a newfound serenity and connection in your life.
Another example would be someone who is struggling with anxiety or anger and has tried every known method to control it but nothing is working. By utilizing hypnotherapy we can go into the unconscious mind and access information that is generally unavailable to the conscious mind. This is where our impulses, compulsions, emotional feelings, and habits live.
By gaining access to the files of the unconscious and shifting the way we perceive the past, the present moment will also change. Wayne Dyer, a famous self-help author pinpoints this when he says, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Oftentimes, our anxiety, fears, and anger prevent us from reaching our fullest potential. Through hypnotherapy, we can work on transforming and releasing these emotions to allow ourselves to live more fully and achieve balanced mental health.
Can Hypnosis Help Heal?
One of the greatest things about hypnotherapy is that it is a powerful tool that can help us to connect with our true selves. So often, we lose sight of who we are amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. By delving into the depths of the subconscious mind and accessing parts of ourselves at a young age, we can access our authentic selves and begin to live from a place of truth and power.
Hypnotherapy will help you to be your own ultimate guide and connect with your true self to experience inner peace and positive change. Through theta states in hypnotherapy work, you can experience a spiritual awakening or a greater sense of mindfulness. This new conscious awareness will stay alongside you as you continue to achieve spiritual growth with the use of hypnosis.
In order to change our lives and heal the body, we must start with the foundation- our thoughts that occur in the human mind. Negative thoughts can have a big impact on our well-being and through the use of hypnosis, we can use positive affirmations to change these harmful thoughts into positive, healthy ones.
Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation that allows us to focus our attention and block out distractions. In this trance state, we are more open to suggestions and will be able to go back to past experiences and heal emotional pain through a holistic approach. Our thoughts become our words, which then become our life.
A good question that many clients come to a session asking is that why they continue to feel this way and can not seem to rid themselves of a certain negative emotion, memory, or unhealthy habit. This is because the root cause of our feelings and emotions are stored in the subconscious mind and are giving us false truths about the present.
The good news is that hypnotherapy is a healing process that through a relaxed state can help to access these deep-seated issues and begin the process of healing.
How Many Sessions Of Hypnotherapy Do You Need?
It varies from person to person. Some people can be helped after just a few sessions, while others may require more time. This all depends on the depth of healing necessary and goals of the client. Healing requires time, commitment, and courage. But it is attainable and can be done.
Most people will experience great relief from a hypnotherapy session’s ability to affect and transform root-level programming, which exists as the source of a problem. This area of the mind is usually changed permanently with hypnosis. This is the biggest advantage of hypnotherapy over other forms of treatment.
The type of work I do, transpersonal hypnotherapy, also incorporates the spirit into your healing. Transpersonal means the crossing of the mind, body, and spirit. This is a hypnotherapy technique that draws in an awareness of your spirit (soul) experiencing the therapy and helps you to use what is going on in your world as a path to discover more understanding about your life and purpose.
Hypnosis becomes the bridge between the mind-body-spirit, accessed through an altered state of consciousness. When you engage in this process, you may develop greater self-awareness, self-understanding, and a whole body-mind-spirit connection.
In a regression hypnosis session, you will be guided into a state of deep relaxation through deep breaths and enter a hypnotic trance. It is through this state of hypnosis that you will be open to hypnotic suggestions and where you will begin to see the places that hold your limiting beliefs. This is when we can start working with the subconscious mind.
Your subconscious mind is very powerful. It is responsible for everything that happens in your life whether you are aware of it or not. Your conscious mind is responsible for only 5 percent of your overall thoughts and actions while your subconscious mind is responsible for the other 95 percent.
I will work with you to help access your subconscious mind in the hypnotic state so that you can start making changes in your life. This may include working through past traumas, beliefs that are holding you back, and negative patterns that you want to break. It can also address anxiety, depression, suppressed emotions, physical trauma, sleep problems, high blood pressure, chronic pain, and weight loss, as just a few examples.
Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective way to heal the mind and body to achieve a positive mindset and a healthy lifestyle. If you are ready to make changes in your life, please contact me to schedule a private session. I look forward to working with you!
