Basildon Hypnotherapy

read moreHypnoanalysis allows you and your therapist to really explore, in great detail, the nature of the 'presenting problem', i.e. what it is that's getting in the way of you enjoying life to the full. It may be that the original cause of the problem is deeply buried in your subconscious and not something that you can consciously recall when you try to think about. This may be because it occurred when you were very young, or it was traumatic and your mind has buried it deep. But, whatever the cause, the 'effect' will occasionally surface and you find yourself reacting in ways that you don't fully understand.

Watkins in the 1960's and, more recently, further developed by Dr. Gordon Emmerson. Combining elements of C.G.

This page will help to reassure you that what happens is very normal, certainly non-magical, and with generally predictable results. Hypnosis is usually induced by the use of the therapist's voice, though you are unlikely to actually feel hypnotised. There is no such thing as a 'hypnotised feeling' though many people find their senses to be far more alert than usual - you will certainly not 'lose control' at any time, nor can you be manipulated in any way.

Hypnosis itself does nothing other than help you to feel relaxed but, in this relaxed state, you're able to communicate more fully with a therapist, and are often more willing to discuss the problems and issues that you're facing, while feeling comfortable and confident that your problems and feelings are being respectfully addressed. This form of treatment is ideal for helping to cope with such problems and situations as driving test nerves, exam fears, smoking, nail biting, some weight-control problems, stress, building self esteem, confidence and many other problems besides.
