Hypnosis is thought to work by altering our state of consciousness in
such a way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is turned
off, while the non-analytical right-hand side of the mind is made more
alert. The conscious control of the mind is inhibited, and the
subconscious mind is woken. Since the subconscious is a deeper seated ,
more instinctive force than the conscious mind , this is the part which
has to change for the patient’s behavior and physical state to alter.
For example, a patient who consciously wants to overcome their fear of
spiders may try everything they consciously can to do it, but will still
fail as long as their subconscious mind retains this terror and
prevents the patient from succeeding. Progress can only be made by
reprogramming the subconscious so that deep-seated instincts and beliefs
are abolished or altered . We believe that the root cause of any issue
stems from the subconscious which constitutes 88% of our mind, and so
during a trance-like state when the therapist can suggest positive
ideas, concepts and lifestyle adaptations to the client ( with which the
client concurs with prior to the actual session) , the seeds of which
become firmly implanted. The practice of promoting healing or positive
development in any way is known as
hypnotherapy. As such,
hypnotherapy
is a kind of psychotherapy.
Hypnotherapy aims to re-programme patterns
of behaviour within the mind, enabling irrational fears, phobias,
negative thoughts and suppressed emotions to be overcome.
