Whenever someone consults me with anxiety, phobias, depression, panic attacks e.t.c., I think it is fair that we could say they are suffering with…

Something inside themselves but outside their control

They are behaving in a way they would rather not, but feel powerless to change it. Alternatively, they are not behaving in a way they would like, but feel equally powerless to change it.

Hypnoanalysis works under the principal of cause and effect. For every effect (symptom) there has to be a cause. There must be an unconscious cause for those symptoms.

The role of Hypnoanalysis is too uncover and, by doing so, remove the unconscious causes of problems.

Hypnoanalysis combines Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy helping to process life events. Using Hypnosis means it is easier to remember events and unhelpful interpretations made at the time and the emotions they created.

Rather than focusing on simply managing symptoms, the therapy aims to resolve the underlying root cause of the problem.

Psychologists often refer to something call self-efficacy. A quiet confidence in your own abilities.

Rather than the brash, loud behaviour we may associate with confidence, it is the opposite. It is that feeling of ‘I know I can achieve this, I know it can be challenging and I may need help, but I know I can and will do it’.

We might think of it as relaxed confidence. The kind of belief in yourself that does not require a person to prove their abilities, but rather a self-esteem that allows a person to get on with life enjoying and dealing with the ups and downs it throws at us.

Our self-esteem is largely established as we were growing up. The experiences we had as we made our way from early infancy
to adulthood helped us form a blueprint of how to deal with similar events in the future.

Hypnoanalysis is an analytical form of Hypnotherapy, which rather than treating and controlling the symptoms (the confidence/self-esteem issue) it aims to resolve the root cause of the behaviour.

Psychologists sometimes refer to an accumulation and amplification effect. The everyday hassles and stresses accumulate overtime. Individually they are unlikely to cause you problems, but they build-up.

The accumulated effect is far greater than you might expect, and creates a vulnerability to other stresses.

We begin accumulating emotional stress from the early stages of our development, and as they accumulate they become anxieties and emotional problems.

Analytical Hypnotherapy helps a person resolve the build up of those accumulated stresses which lead to a person feeling anxious, or struggle with a negative mindset.

If we remove the emotional causes of problems, the pressure is relieved and so too can their anxiety.

How we perceive ourselves is quite often made up of our experiences, the feedback we have from those around us, and the way our self-esteem was established in our younger years.

We develop a self-image and then look for validation, and it’s something we learned in our formative years. In a lot of ways it describes how we learn. We observe, decide on how to behave and act upon it. If that same behaviour is validated positively we are more likely to repeat it.

That’s okay if the validation is positive, but inevitably that’s not always the case.

Hypnoanalysis is an analytical therapy, which rather than only treating the symptoms (the self-image issue) it aims to resolve the unconscious origins of the behaviour.

Stress and anxiety impact each other. The greater our external stresses, the more we will be troubled by our inner anxieties.

The anxiety within a person’s mind needs to find an outlet. They have to ratioanlise it, so (unknowingly) attach it to a symbolic representation. They feel the anxiety for something in particular, for example, phobias, some physical symptoms, panic attacks, depression and more.

The symptom acts as a ‘pressure value’ for the anxiety. It allows a person’s mind to ratioanlise feelings they are experiencing as anxiety.

Hypnoanalysis combines Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, helping a person process events from their life. Using Hypnosis makes it easier to remember events, the unhelpful interpretations made at the time and the emotions they created.

The cathartic effect of thinking through past experiences reduces the intensity of the stored emotions. Events are re-interpreted, with the benefit of hindsight, and the anxiety is resolved.

A free initial consultation available for all.

Hypnotic suggestion can often help a person manage their emotional problems, but if the underlying root-cause remains, the problem will find another outlet. Another emotional problem will surface.

That’s why someone can overcome a fear, for example, only to develop a new fear, or stop one habit, only for the anxiety to reappear in a different form.

Symptoms are signals; not the root cause.

Hypnoanalysis aims to resolve the underlying cause of anxieties and emotional symptoms.

Once the cause is resolved, the symptoms no longer need to exist.

Lasting change, not temporary relief.

Understandably, people hope that therapy will be a quick-fix - something to simply switch off the anxiety, pain, phobias or unwanted habits.

Many assume that Hypnosis means that I’ll ‘put something into their mind’ to change the behaviour, but Hypnoanalysis does the opposite…

It aims to resolve the root cause which has been created the problem, often for years.

When the root cause is resolved, the symptoms no longer need to exist.

The changes that follow are natural, lasting and often surprising.

I offer a free, no-obligation consultation to find out how Hypnoanalysis could help you.

How many times have you heard the advice: ’Just think positive’? It’s the ‘just’ part that bothers me the most.

If changing negative thinking was a simple as just thinking positively, wouldn’t everyone do that?

Positivity has to be grounded in reality if it is to begin to change negative thinking.

Perhaps we should consider the negative thinking as a symptom, and seeking to resolve the causes rather than just focusing on the ‘thinking symptom’.

Analytical Hypnotherapy (Hypnoanalysis) aims to resolves the negative obstacles that lead to negative thinking. Rather than controlling symptoms, Hypnoanalysis works through the causes of emotional problems allowing people to behave more positively.

Anxiety is a common experience that affects millions of people worldwide.

While it can serve a useful purpose by alerting us to potential dangers, chronic anxiety can lead to a range of long-term impacts that significantly affect an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

How Can Hypnoanalysis (Analytical Hypnotherapy) Help?

Hypnoanalysis works through and resolves the root cause of causing emotional and psychological difficulties.

Rather than managing symptoms, the aim is to remove the psychological root cause of symptoms.

By enabling past events to be re-examined and the associated emotion released, patterns of behaviour which are no longer appropriate, the symptoms, cease.

Everyone has the opportunity to come along for a chat so we can go through things in a bit more detail and I can explain exactly what Hypnotherapy is and how it works.

Things you might not know about Hypnotherapy:

There are many different types of Hypnotherapy - Suggestion Therapy is focused on controlling symptoms and is useful for many habits. Analytical Hypnotherapy deals with the cause of the problem and helping the person resolve the issue.

Hypnotherapy can be useful for a range of problems. It can help a person overcome their phobia, or can be of assistance with their anxiety and emotional problems.

Hypnosis is the tool I use to help the person rather than the ‘thing’ that does all the work. You are perfectly aware of everything. It is more accurate to think of it as focused relaxation.

A no obligation initial consultation is a good way of finding out more about Hypnotherapy and how it may be of help to you. Give me a call and book an appointment today!

The act of challenging negative thinking is tough because it requires an individual to reappraise how they believe things are.

It means having to change position in the our mental argument. We become fixed on a way of thinking and it shapes our expectations.

Positivity has to be grounded in reality if it is to begin to change negative thinking.

Perhaps we should consider the negative thinking as a symptom, and seeking to resolve the causes rather than just focusing on the ‘thinking symptom’.

Hypnoanalysis aims to resolves the negative obstacles that lead to negative thinking. Rather than controlling symptoms, Hypnoanalysis works through the causes of emotional problems allowing people to behave more positively.
