A form of psychotherapy used to make a change in a patient that’s under hypnosis is called hypnotherapy. With guided relaxation techniques, patients are put into a state of sleep, or unconsciousness, which invokes feelings of intense tranquillity and concentration that further offers the hypnotherapist the opportunity to find the root of the patient’s problem.
Being in a hypnotic state allows people to explore all the feelings and memories that they’ve suppressed from their conscious mind, which will lead them to the problem buried deep down in their mind.
Hypnotherapy has been used to treat a plethora of conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, various phobias and it has many benefits for our health.
Changes behaviour
If you’ve noticed that you get irritated easily and often, that you snap at others for no valid reason, or you don’t know how to put your anger under control, hypnotherapy is the perfect solution to the problem.
Hypnosis will help you change your behaviour patterns, and become a more appealing and pleasant person. Considering we learn to behave in early childhood, we tend to pick up various behavioural patterns from all over the place, and bad behaviour sometimes tends to become more prevalent.
Hypnosis will help you forget about the old messages in your brain that told you to behave badly, and instead, you’ll get to know new behavioural patterns that will tell you to act in a less offensive way.
People who grew up in dysfunctional families are most likely to develop these kinds of behavioural patterns, so hypnotherapy can be therapeutic for them in many ways. They will understand better why they act the way they do, which will in return be of great help to the entire family as well as their friends and people they often interact with.
Furthermore, hypnotherapy will help you develop a better understanding of self. Hypnosis will answer many questions that you’ve been asking yourself while struggling with depression, or childhood trauma.
Helps with chronic pain
Migraines, arthritis, and sinus problems can cause excruciating pain, and hypnotherapy is sometimes the only solution. While a controlled diet and painkillers may reduce the pain, some people don’t feel any relief which makes them go through terrible unease.
After a few calming hypnotherapy sessions, you’ll probably be able to get relief for some of the chronic pain. This is especially true if you suffer from sinus problems, or you experience chronic pain that comes in clusters. The guided relaxation combined with simple meditation techniques can help you control your pain and reduce the length of the episode, while also offering you more time between two pain attacks.
Treats addictions
Some people are more prone to addiction than others, because plenty of factors determine whether a person will become an addict or not. From upbringing, through genes, childhood experiences and to the environment that we live in, the amalgamation of influences can cause a certain addiction.
Hypnotherapy can help you get rid of any addiction, whether that’s smoking, drugs, gambling, food, alcohol or something else.
This will help break the addiction by alleviating the physical symptoms, help you regain control of your thoughts and prevent any relapses in the future.
Final thoughts
Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy used to treat various conditions and it has many benefits. From helping you acquire new behavioural patterns, through relieving pain and to helping battle addictions, hypnotherapy can completely change your life, and for the better. What’s more, it can also help you reduce stress levels, lose weight, cure insomnia, treats anxiety and depression and plenty of other conditions and problems that jeopardize your physical and mental health.
