There are many forms of psychological therapy but Hypnotherapy is distinctive in that it attempts to address the client’s subconscious mind. In practice, the Hypnotherapist often (but not exclusively) requires the client to be in a relaxed state, frequently enlists the power of the client’s own imagination and may utilise a wide range of techniques from story telling, metaphor or symbolism (judged to be meaningful to the individual client) to the use of direct suggestions for beneficial change.

Analytical techniques (see below Hypno-analysis) may also be employed in an attempt to uncover problems deemed to lie in a client’s past (referred to as the “there and then”) or therapy may concentrate more on a client’s current life and presenting problems (referred to as the “here and now”).

It is generally considered helpful if the client is personally motivated to change (rather than relying solely on the therapist's efforts) although a belief in the possibility of beneficial change may be a sufficient starting point.

Regardless of the techniques employed, perhaps the most important thing is that a client should expect to feel comfortable and at ease with their therapist. This is of particular importance in Hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is greatly enhanced when there is confidence in the practitioner. For this reason it is recommended that a single session only is initially booked, leaving the client subsequently free to decide if they wish to proceed with more.

Unlike many other psychological therapies, Hypnotherapy is generally considered to be a fairly short-term approach in which beneficial change, if it is to occur, should become apparent within a relatively few sessions.

N.B. In actual practice, most Hypnotherapists will combine hypnotic procedures with other appropriate counselling and therapeutic techniques. Should there be any doubt about the combination of skills utilised in individual cases, the therapist should be asked directly for a further explanation of their preferred methodology.

Pure Hypnoanalysis or Analytical Therapy

Pure Hypnoanalysis or analytical hypnotherapy is totally unique and specialised by IAPH members. I believe Pure hypnoanalysis is effective at totally resolving problems like:

4anxieties
4panic attacks
4fears, like being sick or shy bladder
4depression
4obsessions
4phobias
4compulsions
4sexual problems

Analytical Therapy : is about discovering and uncovering the underlying cause of the problem which is where a person has emotional conflicts by allowing the mind to Free Associate which is letting the mind link and connect to experiences that influenced you through life.

Depending on the person eventually (usually 6-9 sessions) the conflicting experience causing the symptoms will come to light. Once back into consciousness a person begins to see the experience in a new way and start to view their life differently in the present and the future.

If the symptoms are direct (i.e. fear of being sick) they will start to transform and the person will feel as if they never had the problem in the first place. If the symptoms are in-direct (addictions, over weight ect) they will start to transform days to weeks after the conflict was uncovered.

The actual conscious moment can feel surprising, liberating, and enlightening.
