Thinking about Hypnotherapy, but feeling hesitant to reach out for help?

Some common reasons why people feel resistance to reach out for the help they need, by making that initial call to a qualified Hypnotherapist are:

‘Will I lose control?’

Absolutely not. Many worry Hypnotherapy means surrendering their will, but this is not the case at all. A skilled Hypnotherapist ensures that you are gently guided, helping you to gain greater self-control and clarity in a safe and supportive process.

‘Can it really help me?’

Absolutely yes! Hesitation often comes from not knowing where to start. An experienced Hypnotherapist tailors the approach to you, making it a personal fit.

The numerous benefits of choosing to reach out for the help you need include:

1) Gaining greater clarity and focus.

2) Releasing old unwanted feelings of stress and anxiety.

3) Unlocking your positive potential.

By making the decision to reach out and book your initial appointment, this simple choice can literally alter the entire course of your life for the better, by providing you with the tools you need to create real and lasting change.

Are you fed-up with feeling stuck in unhelpful and limiting old beliefs? Or maybe sick of worrying about the future?

Then let's explore some of the benefits of developing 'Presence', and how Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help you to achieve this state of Being.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), neuroscience, and hypnosis to address negative mental and emotional patterns at both conscious and unconscious levels.

It’s tailored to the individual, focusing on how their unique experiences shape their thoughts and behaviors.

Here’s how Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help a person to cultivate Presence, and an experience of Self-Liberation:

1. Rewiring Negative Beliefs:

Negative mind-states like anxiety, self-doubt, or rumination often stem from unconscious beliefs formed by past experiences (e.g., “I’m not good enough”).

Cognitive Hypnotherapy uses trance states to access deeper layers of understanding and personal insight, making old unhelpful habits and beliefs malleable.

Through suggestion and re-framing, it helps to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones, reducing the mental chatter that pulls you out of the present moment.

2. Breaking Automatic Patterns:

Our brains can get stuck in loops of worry or overthinking, fueled by the amygdala’s fight-or-flight response.

Hypnosis calms this reactivity, while cognitive techniques teach you to interrupt and redirect those patterns. This trains the mind to stay present rather than defaulting to past regrets or future fears.

3. Enhancing Emotional Regulation:

By gently guiding you into a relaxed, focused state, Cognitive Hypnotherapy strengthens your ability to observe emotions without being overwhelmed by them.

It’s like building a mental/emotional pause button - letting you feel without spiraling, which allows you to be more fully present in the now.

4. Cultivating Mindfulness:

This process helps to integrate mindfulness principles, but with a twist: hypnosis makes it easier to enter a state of heightened awareness effortlessly.

You’re not just practicing presence; you’re conditioning your mind to default to it, freeing you from the grip of a negative narrative.

5. Personal Liberation:

The experience of Self-Liberation comes from shedding the weight of old stories or traumas that have dictated your reactions.

For example, someone plagued by perfectionism might uncover its roots in childhood praise, tied to achievement. Cognitive Hypnotherapy helps them release that link, so they can act from choice, not compulsion—fully present in their authentic self.

This dynamic approach blends conscious insight with unconscious change, clearing the mental fog so you can live more fully in the present moment.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always had.”

A common reason why people decide to seek help from a Hypnotherapist like myself is that they are fed up with feeling how they’ve been feeling, and want to feel differently about themselves and the life they’re living.

However, a common misconception held by some people is that the Hypnotherapist will ‘do something to them’, so that when they wake-up all their problems will have disappeared, without the need to take any responsibility for the way they treat themselves from then onward.

Despite common assumptions, an experienced Hypnotherapist will take the time during the first session to clarify how they work with their clients, to answer any questions that they might have, and will point out that all they are there to do is to assist the client to find the solutions to their problems from within their own mind.

If a person really wishes to change their experience, to let go of unhelpful habits and negative feelings toward themselves or others, then it’s incredibly important to learn how to communicate toward oneself differently.

We are all creatures of habit, but sometimes we may have consciously or unconsciously spent many years training ourselves in the habit of putting ourselves down, not believing in ourselves or our own self-worth, and may have become very skillful in beating ourselves up, along with all kinds of self-abusive patterns of behavior.

When people first come to see me for help, they arrive having little to no understanding of the power and influence of our self-talk upon our day-to-day experience of life. But when we learn the new skill of communicating toward ourselves in a compassionate and forgiving way, then this simple yet profound change begins to influence and transform our experience, and our sense-of-self for the better.

This process I refer to as ‘reclaiming control of the helm of one’s own ship’.

This is achieved by learning and developing what I call The Dialogue of Self-Liberation, which forms a practical foundation for lasting change and transformation.

If you’re fed up of feeling how you’ve been feeling, and are prepared to do certain things differently to free yourself from old habits and unhelpful patterns of behavior, then contact me via my website to arrange a suitable time and date for either an in-person session here in Glastonbury, or via Zoom.
