Positive Solutions for Habit Changing - Fears and Phobias
Stress and Pain Management and Self Limiting Beliefs
Facilitating Client Centred Change

Hypnotherapy is useful in helping you with almost every personal lifestyle or behavioural issue that YOU have a strong desire to change.

Some of these are:
anxiety, restlessness, stress management, relaxation, insomnia, bruxism, habits, gambling, nail biting, skin picking, stop smoking, fears and phobias, shyness, blushing, self confidence, self appreciation, motivation, procrastination, most depressions, pessimism, lethargy, creativity, self responsibility, your relationship to food, body and self image

When in the state of Hypnosis you are not really "thinking" in the traditional sense. You are "experiencing" without questioning.

The main characteristics of Hypnosis are:

* Feelings of well-being
* Increased muscle relaxation
* Predominating Alpha Brain Waves
* An enhanced ability to access memories
* An enhanced ability to accept new ideas about yourself if they are not in conflict with your values.

Hypnosis is a gentle and useful tool and has been proven successful when used in therapy in overcoming many habits, fears and phobias.

It works by addressing our belief systems by finding out what they are and where they may have originated, then deciding whether they serve us any more, or if we may have out grown them and want some new and better ones.

The whole process becomes possible by deciding and agreeing to relax into a slower state of consciousness where the critical faculty or conscious mind is bypassed, much like whilst daydreaming or when we watch TV, or get lost in a great movie or book.

The Therapy part of Hypnotherapy is the process of positive change that takes place in a safe environment with a facilitator you have chosen and feel comfortable with, with the aim to move forward in your journey towards positive change. The relationship is crucial to the work if change is to take place. A decision must be made to trust someone and you must feel that your facilitator is 100%on your side.

Most Habits, Fears and phobias were born in a moment of time when we really felt like they were a good idea!

We have lived through many situations that have left us feel frightened and vulnerable and, our very clever minds have at the time sorted, decided and leapt into whatever option felt to be the best one at the time for our sane survival.The trouble is, these habits, fears and phobias seem to hinder our living now and just don't seem to suit our lifestyles and who we really are anymore.

Through relaxation of our bodies and minds, we are able to give ourselves permission to release and ease into a slower state of consciousness and access our more creative mind.

In these slower states of consciousness, we are able to look at and feel the original triggers as they happened at the time and see them from a now more grown up perspective. Here we are easily able to decide if our original response still suits us or not.

If you have any concerns about what is going on for you in your living and feel stuck in making change, hypnosis is a great way to find out first hand what is true versus what you have just gone along with and believed to be true up until now.

*Relax, Rewind, Resource and Recreate
*Relax: into a Hypnotic less judgmental state.
*Rewind: look back with incredibly clear memory.
*Resource: some of the skills/talents strengths you may have not used for years or simply forgotten about.
*Recreate: how you would like to live your life.

The deep relaxation itself is worth the experience!
