Self-hypnosis is taught to almost everyone who comes for
hypnotherapy with the Therapy Partnership.
It can be thought of as a form of “D– l – Y hypnosis” – a method by which
one can take oneself into very relaxed state which is both restful
and beneficial, enabling positive, helpful suggestions to be given to the
subconscious mind.
Though it might seem this must involves mastering difficult techniques,
in fact self-hypnosis or auto-hypnosis, is surprisingly easy because it is
straightforward and simple to understand. |
To help develop this skill clients are given training during therapy andgiven either a free CD or cassette tape which can be used to learn how to go into self-hypnosis quickly and easily. In addition there is a short explanatory booklet which is also given to clients.
Among the important benefits of auto-hypnosis are that it helps you relax under your own direction while assisting you to progress in your own time with your therapy.
Using this technique can also help deal with anticipated events, enabling
you to prepare or rehearse for them.
It gives you more self-control as well ... and it is a skill you will be able to make use of all your life. |
