Grantham Hypnotherapy treatments
What types of symptoms and anxieties can be helped with hypnotherapy?
At Grantham Hypnotherapy we can help with virtually any stress, anxiety or psychological problems, ranging from 'minor' things such as stopping smoking, to more serious issues such as depression.

Two types of hypnotherapy offered
There are two different types of hypnotherapy used at my clinic, and the therapies can be combined if necessary. Suggestion Therapy (clinical hypnosis) is used for minor issues such as exam nerves, confidence or stopping smoking. Analytical Hypnotherapy (Pure Hypnoanalysis) for more serious issues or concerns allows clients in therapy to resolve the root cause of their problem, thus freeing them from their symptoms permanently.

Suggestion Therapy
Most people can identify with hypnotherapy ( sometimes referred to as clinical hypnosis) from the type of thing they may have seen on TV : The application of suggestion to effectively change negative thought patterns into positive ones and therefore bring about the desired change for the client.

For example using the power of suggestion to find giving up smoking ridiculously easy

Or perhaps all those situations a person would previously find stressful are now simply calming and relaxing.

Hypnotherapy is perfect for all those situations where time is of the essence ( you just have to fly off on Friday but the thought of getting on the plane and sitting through a two hour flight is bringing on the equivalent of a full blown panic attack) or you would like to sit an exam, perform on a stage, sit your driving test knowing you have done the very best you can and, not only that, actually enjoy the experience!

Hypnotherapy is a fantastic way of managing such situations and will bring about the desired result. If you consider yourself a person without external pressures ( typically issues around career, money, marriage, children, health ), this may well be all you ever need to effect a permanent change for yourself!

Hypnoanalysis
However after a Free 30 minute chat, you may find that given the opportunity to just off load in a safe, supported and confidential environment, you have lots of things you have just kept well, bottled up, maybe for a few months or years or perhaps over an entire lifetime!

Why is pure hypnoanalysis such a fast, natural and effective treatment?
Today G. P.s and primary health care workers are finding themselves under continual pressure to give the patient who may simply just ’ need to talk’, their valuable time, not to mention a ‘solution’ to the problem!

In addition to appointments perhaps running over time, there is of course the more prolific problem of our so called, Prozac Nation. How is this to be addressed when recent statistics indicate that despite being the fifth richest nation, the UK houses the unhappiest children in the western world? ( UNICEF)

A safe, gentle, natural therapy
‘Pure’ Hypnoanalysis is not a led therapy, not counselling, or advice giving but rather an amazing therapeutic process, developed to help people permanently resolve their unconscious anxieties and conflicts, freeing them from their symptoms and problems in life. Whilst many other talking therapies keep the client in transference for months
( possibly years ) our therapy aims for closure within 12 weeks

We are well aware of the accumulative effect of stress: we use expressions like ‘the straw that broke the camels back’ or ‘ I’ve had it up to here!’ Let’s look at a very modern stress such as a ‘road rage ’situation.

Could someone really feel that angry at another pinching their driving spot? Not unless there was a whole back log of other unresolved stresses in their life!

Some of these bottled up feelings we know about ( but would still feel much better for off loading ) and some of it we might not. These are the situations where we might have a feeling of living with something inside ourselves but outside our own control Irrational fears, phobias, compulsions, anxiety and stress which do not make any real sense to us, are often driven by emotions which have not previously been expressed possibly because it has never before felt safe to do so.

Consider the following scenario:
A young car crash victim who on recounting his version of events may well say something like “I don’t know what happened really, it all seems a bit of a blur. I can remember being helped into the ambulance afterwards and I can remember exactly what watch was worn by one of the ambulance men but after I started skidding I don’t know what happened.” It would be a reasonable assumption to make, that the fear generated when events became out of their control, was strong enough to effectively remove all conscious thought. The conscious part of our psyche will only tolerate a level of emotion it feels comfortable handling. Therefore our road accident victim remembers all the parts where some sort of order was restored to the situation e.g. the ambulance men taking care of him. But what of the emotion experienced during the terrifying moments when he can remember nothing? That emotion may well be locked away in the subconscious.

Now that was an example of a highly emotional situation but is no different from any other experience in so much that every moment of every waking day the human psyche is subjected to a barrage of information. We are constantly making split second decisions as to whether we can ‘cope’ with that information. Whether we retain it at a conscious level or ( in that split second), prefer not to think about it at all. A lot of these decisions are determined by a combination of personality, experiences and perception of life to date.
In a nutshell : We simply bottle things up

Can you tell me about hypnotherapy and hypnoanalysis sessions?
Hypnotherapy sessions last around 55 minutes and combine a chat around the issue at hand, relaxation and positive suggestion. The session is designed to put the client fully back in control with self-hypnosis techniques they can take away with them and apply to their everyday life.

Pure Hypnoanalysis sessions last around an hour. As with hypnotherapy the session begins with relaxation .Although this is a talking therapy it is not an intellectual exercise such as counselling or CBT where you might expect to ‘ look’ for an answer to your problem. Instead you will be encouraged to allow your mind to wander freely over thoughts, experiences, images, memories. In fact anything and everything that comes into your mind ! You can not go wrong. Really it’s childs play!

Why does hypnoanalysis work so well compared to other therapies?
Because given a supported, non judgemental and safe environment your mind will naturally find any bottled up feelings and in the release of this emotion you will lower stress levels and strengthen your coping mechanisms. Phobias, obsessions and compulsions can be effectively and permanently removed. The bottom line is you will be back in control of your life.

A good example of Free Association helping you to do this naturally would be at a funeral ( and not even the funeral of someone close to you). Perhaps you would agree that in such a situation there is a certain amount of self reflection. You find thoughts drifting to areas of your own life and associating with the emotion of the event and allowing feelings to surface.

You feel safe in the environment, you allow yourself a little time to reflect, you release the emotion. Hypnoanalysis typically takes between 6 to 8 sessions.
