Kate Anna Jewson Therapist
Oxford, Oxfordshire
Description
Hypnotherapy is helpful for changing unconscious habits and overcoming self destructive behaviour as well as accessing past memories if necessary. It does not rely on hours of analytical therapy in order to understand why one has a particular issue, although it can also be very illuminating and insightful. The aim is for positive effective change with achievable goals. Hypnotherapy is solution focused and yet it often involves that enlightening ‘light bulb’ moment. It is conducive to short term therapy but can be offered as a part of longer term treatment.
There is nothing strange or other worldly about hypnotherapy and the client never looses control. It works by allowing communication between one’s subconscious and conscious mind and therefore accessing areas that one is often unaware of in our waking state. This not only reaches possible blockages or negative habitual patterns but also taps into wonderful abilities and strengths that lie dormant in one’s mind. It can be an exciting and profound way to understand and to accept oneself and encourages self development.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and it can be extremely relaxing. Trance is a natural process and an ability that we all possess, for example when we immerse ourselves in a good movie. I teach self hypnosis to practise at home and this improves the experience and process. I give you a self recorded CD of my self hypnosis after the first session.
