Hypnotherapy
- It’s Not a Magic Fix: Hypnotherapy often complements other forms of treatment and requires active participation.
- Suitability: Not everyone is equally susceptible to hypnosis, and some people may not respond well.
- Therapist Expertise: Working with a licensed, trained hypnotherapist is key to ensuring safe and effective treatment.
Hypnotherapy can help with several common issues, including:
- Anxiety and Stress: It helps calm your mind and reduce feelings of worry.
- Bad Habits: It can help you quit habits like smoking or nail-biting.
- Weight Loss: Hypnotherapy might assist in controlling overeating.
- Phobias: It can reduce fears, such as fear of heights or flying.
- Sleep Problems: Hypnotherapy can help people who struggle with sleep, like insomnia.
- Pain Relief: Some people use it to manage pain, especially chronic pain.
- Confidence: It can help boost self-esteem and reduce self-doubt.
These are just a few examples. Hypnotherapy works by making you more open to positive suggestions, helping you change unhelpful behaviors or thoughts.
Yes, some people have a harder time getting into a hypnotic state. Not everyone responds to hypnosis in the same way. While many people can relax and focus deeply, a few may find it difficult to reach that level of concentration. Factors like being very skeptical, anxious, or not fully trusting the process can make it harder. However, with practice and a good hypnotherapist, most people can experience at least some level of hypnosis.
No, you won’t lose control during hypnotherapy. Even though you may feel very relaxed and focused, you’re still aware of what’s happening. You can choose to accept or reject any suggestions the hypnotherapist makes. You won’t do or say anything you don’t want to, and you can stop the session at any time. Hypnosis is more like being in a calm, daydream-like state, but you remain in control the whole time.
Currently we work with everyone over the age of 18 years old. This will be changing in 2025, when further relevant training and procedures have taken place.
Yes, hypnosis is real. It’s a natural state of deep focus and relaxation that some people experience. During hypnosis, you’re more open to suggestions, which is why it’s used in therapy to help change habits or manage stress. It’s not magic or mind control, but a therapeutic tool that can help with things like quitting smoking, reducing anxiety, or breaking bad habits. Many people experience hypnosis when daydreaming or getting lost in thought — it’s just a more focused version of that.
The number of hypnotherapy sessions you’ll need depends on your specific issue and how quickly you respond to treatment. Some people see improvements after just one or two sessions, while others might need several sessions to make lasting changes. For things like quitting smoking or managing stress, it might take 4 to 6 sessions or more. Your hypnotherapist can give you a better idea after your first session, based on your progress.
Business Support
It’s important for the workplace to support wellbeing because when employees feel good—both physically and mentally—they are more productive, focused, and engaged. A supportive environment can reduce stress, prevent burnout, and improve overall job satisfaction. When workers are healthy and happy, they are more likely to stay with the company, work better with others, and contribute positively. Supporting wellbeing also shows employees that they are valued, which can create a positive, motivated workplace culture.
As an employer, it’s not your responsibility to “fix” personal worries that aren’t related to the workplace. However, creating a supportive and understanding environment can help employees feel more comfortable and balanced. While you can’t solve personal issues, offering resources like mental health support, flexible working arrangements, or an employee assistance program (EAP) can make a big difference. Encouraging a work-life balance and showing empathy can help employees manage their personal challenges, which ultimately benefits both them and the workplace.
So, while it’s not your job to fix non-work-related worries, providing support shows that you care about their overall wellbeing, which can lead to a happier and more productive team.
Well-being includes mental health, but it’s more than that. It covers a person’s overall health, including physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Mental well-being: This involves managing stress, anxiety, and maintaining a positive mindset.
- Physical well-being: Keeping your body healthy through good nutrition, exercise, and sleep.
- Emotional well-being: Understanding and handling your emotions, like stress or happiness, in a balanced way.
- Social well-being: Feeling connected and having good relationships with others, like friends, family, and colleagues.
So, well-being is a bigger picture of overall health and happiness, not just mental health!
