Hypnotherapy is a therapy that combines psychological methods to help people make changes or have more control over their condition. It utilises hypnosis along with one or more of the following therapies:
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Neuro-linguistic programming
Talking therapy
- Psychoanalysis, in some instances
Why Hypnotherapy?
- Recent research by Stanford Medicine indicates that areas of the brain that play a role in the brain’s action control and awareness centre are altered during hypnosis, leading to greater acceptance of suggestions during hypnosis.
Openness to suggestions created by reduced activity between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the medical prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortex.
- Hypnosis is a genuine psychological phenomenon where you are fully relaxed but in a state of highly focused attention or concentration. Under this relaxed state, you are much more open to helpful suggestions that support your desire to make the changes you want than you would normally.
- At Livewell Hypnotherapy, we always screen the client to check that hypnotherapy is right for them before any commitment is considered.
