Hypnotherapy (sometimes called hypnotic suggestion) is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a state of focussed attention and concentration and heightened suggestibility.
Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through hypnotherapy/hypnosis:
anxiety attacks
phobias
pain management
smoking cessation
stress reduction
weight control
habit changes
confidence building
sports performance
There is a growing body of evidence which shows that adding hypnosis to cognitive behavioural therapy improves outcomes.
It could be said that adding hypnosis “turbocharges” CBT.
Of all psychotherapies CBT has the strongest evidential backing and is now the treatment of choice under the NHS. CBT aims to change thoughts and behaviours to bring about positive changes. Research studies where CBT and hypnotherapy are applied together have shown that they are strongly complementary, and their effectiveness is raised many times when used in combination.
Hypnosis is one of the most researched therapies, referenced in over 11,000 research studies to date.
It is recognised by the British Medical Association and the British Psychological Society as well as the American Medical Association and the US National Institute of health.
Scientific research studies have shown it to be effective in treating anxiety attacks, phobias, pain management, smoking cessation, stress reduction, weight control - as well as supporting behaviour/habit changes, confidence building and sports performance.
