Room 3Q82, Frenchay
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a form of hypnotherapy that uses the latest psychological techniques and is informed by neuroscience to help you achieve your goals. This session will introduce you to the theory of how the brain works and explain why you feel the way that you do. Solution-focused hypnotherapy is particularly effective at reducing anxiety, dealing with phobias and getting more out of life. In a typical session of solution-focused hypnotherapy we follow a series of steps to put you on the path to wellbeing.
• First, you set the goals of treatment and decide what you would like to achieve. • We then discuss how the brain works and explain why you feel the way you do. • Next, we help you set achievable goals for the coming week. • Then we work with trance to put the brain into solution-focused mode which will help you achieve those goals.
All this takes place in a restful setting. Each session is typically 50 minutes and we would expect to work with you for around 8-12 sessions.
Research is being conducted in collaboration with the Clifton Practice is demonstrating the effectiveness of solution-focused hypnotherapy in stimulating brain activity, in particular, alpha and theta brain waves. Alpha is associated with relaxation and calming, creativity and problem-solving, reduction of anxiety and stress, an improved immune system and illness response, and is a natural way to reduce low mood as alpha waves stimulate the production of serotonin. Theta is associated with positive emotional experiences, intuition and enhanced creativity and problem solving which enables you to connect with your subconscious, allowing you to 're-programme' your brain with ideas and beliefs that you truly want to believe.
