There are 2 very different types of hypnotherapy...

Suggestion Therapy

This type of therapy is used for 'simple' problems such as smoking cessation, nail biting, slimming, pre-test nerves, confidence boosting, calmness and relaxation.

This is achieved by combining hypnosis and carefully worded suggestion, usually just 1 or 2 sessions are required, and sometimes a booster session is required later on.

Analytical Therapy

This is a combination of hypnosis and psychotherapy called hypno-analysis which is a technique used to discover, then resolve the subconscious cause(s) of anxiety; ie: finding the root cause of the problem and thereby relieving the symptoms(cause and effect)

Analytical therapy is usually 6-12 sessions of about 1 hour (average approx 8 sessions)

Emotional problems respond particularly well to hypno-analysis-There is no reason why anyone should put up with something"inside themselves but outside their control" provided they are prepared to devote time, money, effort and discipline to be free of their problem.

PHOBIAS & ANXIETY EXPLAINED

At the Peterborough Hypnotherapy Practice you will find expert to assist you to get rid of your phobia once and for all in just a few hypnotherapy sessions.

WHAT IS A PHOBIA?

A phobia is a certain type of anxiety or fears that are triggered off by coming into contact with different objects or situations.

A phobia is an 'external symbol of an internal anxiety', therefore intense panicking emotions that we feel inside, are set off by something we feel outside.

HOW DO PHOBIAS DEVELOP?

In childhood we go through many different types of experiences, sometimes those experiences are unpleasant and the emotions generated are intense. With our childlike minds being unable to cope with these intense emotions, we repress them, or in other words we 'bottle them up'.  However even though you may have no conscious awareness of them, they are still locked away in your subconscious mind: you then develop a phobia or anxiety, so that your mind is 'warning' you not to get into that or a similar experience again.

Phobias are symbolic in nature..there are 12million people in the UK with a fear of flying (aviatophobia),.. now they have not all been in a plane crash and lived to tell the tale have they?..no, for most of them the fear is not about crashing, it's about being out of control.  Let's face it, there is nothing like triggering a fear of being out of control, more than being in a plane 30,000 feet up, jammed in like sardines and the doors locked!,and you cannot get off, even if you wanted to!

Your brain 'symbolises'  that fear of being out of control onto the experience of flying.

Many other therapists/therapies either try to 'get around' the phobia or teach the sufferer coping strategies on how 'to live with it',however these therapies are not able to gain access to the bottled up and locked away experiences and emotions.

'PURE' hypnoanalysis can and does reach these emotions and safely unlocks them and the phobia will disappear because the emotions driving it will no longer exist..... no emotions = no phobia!
