Hypnotherapy
Because the number of qualified hypnotherapists keeps growing it's increasingly easily accessible this type of therapy. However, success is not guaranteed and outcomes vary greatly from person to person. How will you stack the odds in your favour while you set out on the path of behavioural change? Let's look at how to find a good hypnotherapist and how to avoid the common pitfalls that sabotage hypnotherapy results.


Hypnotherapy
According to Webster's Dictionary hypnotherapy is psychotherapy that facilitates suggestion, reeducation, or analysis by hypnosis. Hypnosis is defined as a trance state seen as a extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination.


Hypnotherapy
Just to be clear, the purpose of hypnotherapy is to help you get more of what you would like, either stopping behaviours, like quitting smoking or weight loss, or starting behaviours, like speaking in public or stress management. A hypnotherapy session will make you rethink, review and change the way information is stored in your mind.

Here are some of the actions that setup an excellent hypnotherapy session.



A good hypnotherapist will:



• discuss with you the reason why you want to improve your behaviours and will determine your readiness for change

• have you focused on your desired outcomes and understand what it is you want to achieve

• will explain a little concerning the script and test your inclination towards trance

• debrief along with you after the session

• cause you to feel comfortable and tolerant of the prosperity of the session



A hypnotherapy session will include a thorough discussion of the items your outcomes are and a debrief of what the hypnotic experience was like for you personally. Seeing someone who really understands your outcomes and your expectations dramatically increases the probability of making positive change.



Hypnotherapy is not always single session therapy. Some clients make radical change after just one session, for some clients it will take several sessions to determine changes. This may be due partly to there being multiple causes for behaviours, for instance, one individual might stutter when excited and another might stutter when under pressure. These multiple causes for behaviours result in the initial consultation vital, and so the information you discuss helps your therapist determine a great way to make use of.



Always choose a hypnotherapist that you understand. The likelihood of changed behaviours is far greater when you're with someone you are feeling you can rely on. The greater relaxed you are the more open you will be and this openness does affect your height of suggestibility. The outcomes of hypnotherapy are better the greater relaxed you're.



Should you be more comfortable experiencing hypnotherapy in your house you might like to try self hypnosis. DIY hypnotherapy is increasingly easy to access, there are mini-hypnotherapy sessions readily available for download onto smartphones and there are websites for MP3s and scripts. Self-hypnosis and pre-recordings are most effective when used daily not less than per month and revisited regularly in the months following.



If you choose to consult a professional hypnotherapist, this is what I suggest to prevent common pitfalls that sabotage hypnotherapy results:



• possess a thorough brief and debrief so you're both really clear about what you would like changed

• know your follow up options, if you will see several session when in the event you rebook and what, contrary, are you able to do within the weeks between sessions

• understand if you will find changes to get making in your environment, ie get rid of ashtrays

• consider hunting for a specialist in your change area



Ignorance probably doesn't bring bliss when it comes to making behavioural change. Discussing the above points together with your hypnotherapist provides you with advisable of the problem and help to set your expectations of what is coming up next.



Personally, for the best results I recommend visiting a professional. Often hypnotherapists possess a specialty in a particular area and are amply trained in the subtleties of making sustainable change easy. The best use of hypnotherapy is when you and your therapist are crystal clear around the outcomes, you're relaxed and concentrating on the hypnotic story as well as your hypnotherapist has the necessary skills to embed suggestions when you're most receptive. As the interest in hypnotherapy keeps growing we are increasingly more educated in how to find precisely the right fit for our needs. Knowing what to expect and how to support how well you're progressing after your hypnotherapy session gives you the greatest possibility of success.
