What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a very effective, modern talking therapy. What I love about it is that it focuses on positivity and finding solutions, as the name implies.
In our sessions, you’ll tell me what’s been good since we last met. Occasionally, this can be hard for some people, but even having a really nice cup of tea would count! Then we’ll talk about what changes you want to make going forward. This is followed by hypnosis, or trance, which is when you get to lie back, relax and forget about everything. It’s that added extra that really helps those changes happen.
Just to be clear, hypnosis is not like stage hypnotism which is purely for entertainment. You will always be fully in control and I won’t ask you to do anything except get comfortable and relax!
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is rooted in the latest neuroscience. We talk about the brain quite a bit and this helps clients understand why they feel the way they do. For example, we know from neuroscience that repeatedly talking or even thinking about your past or your problems can, unfortunately, make you feel worse.
This is because your mind can’t tell the difference between imagination and reality. So every time you remember a negative event, you experience those negative feelings you had when it first happened, all over again. We want to avoid that, so in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy we talk mostly about the present and the future. You think about and imagine the changes you want to make. And what life could look like for you going forward, one small step at a time.
In between sessions, I’ll ask you to listen to my relaxation audio and this will support the work we’re doing, It’ll help you sleep better too.
As with any therapy, there are no guarantees. If you truly want change you have to have an open mind and put the effort in, and I will be there cheering you on, all the way!
