Clinical Hypnotherapy

Numerous studies have shown that hypnotherapy is an effective tool to help to deal with both mental and physical issues.

Hypnotherapy, just like visualization utilizes our potential to reach a state of inner absorption, concentration and imagery. In this state, a trained hypnotherapist can help clients turn their attention inward to discover and utilize resources within themselves that can help them achieve positive changes. Unlike the common pre-conceptions, the client during hypnotic state is not under anyone’s “control.” Instead, he/she is an active participant in the process.

Hypnotherapy is a wonderful evidence-based, non-medication and, most importantly, a side effect free intervention. It can be implemented in:

  • Medically Unexplainable Somatic Symptoms that include pain complaints, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (read here), lower abdominal complaints,
  • Pain Management in number of health related issues. Read more here.
  • Stress and Anxiety Management and Burnout, past traumas and PTSD, excessive fear, grief, and burnout.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, but it’s not a one-time fix. It’s a multi-session process aimed at creating lasting and stable change. Together, we work gradually, always respecting your personal pace. The first session is dedicated to understanding your story and goals. We’ll explore what’s troubling you and set the direction for our work. Then we schedule further sessions when we roll up the sleeves and get to work on your issues using suitable hypnotherapeutic tools such as Regression to Cause, Reintegration of parts, Trauma resolving methods, etc.

Questions & Answers

What is the process of Clinical Hypnotherapy?

The clinical hypnotherapy process usually involves multiple sessions, starting with an intake session where we go over your problem that you like to deal with and a short history.

Then we plan a hypnotherapy session itself, depending on what you want to achieve. For example, if we want to find the roots of your issue, we will do Regression to Cause. Once we find it, we resolve it then and there. If you have a particular traumatic event already in mind, we deal with it using a Psycho-Sensory method. If there is a desired behaviour or belief, we apply Integration Hypnotherapy, etc.

Clients often desire to do more and go further with the issue after the session. I typically suggest what would be suitable.

Will I be asleep during hypnosis?

No, you are awake, but you are more focused inwards. You will remember the whole session and interaction with me.

What if I can't be hypnotized?

You can. Everyone can. As long as you wish to enter hypnosis, you will. It’s that easy.

Do you do regression?

Yes, I do what is called a “Regression to Cause” where we tap into buried memories from the past. It’s an invaluable way to uncover the roots of an issue you want to resolve.

Will I still be in control of myself during hypnosis?

Yes, you remain fully in control. Hypnosis induces deep relaxation, but you won’t lose control. No one can take over unless you allow it.
