1. Stopping Smoking. If the main reason people keep smoking is
because they are addicted to nicotine, the nicotine replacement therapy
(NRT) would be really effective. It isn't. In fact NRT such as patches
or gums is only 7% more effective than a placebo. Hypnotherapy addresses
the unconscious desire to smoke and the habit, with a much higher
success rate of over 60%.
2. Weight Loss. If you can stick to a
diet, chances are you will lose weight. The only problem is that you
have to be able to stick to it long term to lose a meaningful amount of
weight, and possible indefinitely to maintain the weight loss. We as
human beings have shown ourselves to be spectacularly bad a sticking to
diets. Issues of deprivation, motivation, willpower, stress and emotion
all come into play to sabotage our latest diet. The answer is to use
hypnotherapy to work on these issues at a deep level, helping us to
reduce stress, change unconscious habits, see food, and ourselves
differently and make lasting changes that we can stick to.
3.
Stress. Stress occurs when we negatively react to the environment around
us. We can't always change the things that happen in our lives, but we
do have the power to change our responses. Hypnosis allows you to tap
into inner resources to manage stress more effectively, to cope better
in any situation and remain calm and relaxed no matter what life throws
at you.
4. Confidence. Using hypnosis is the quickest and easiest
way of feeling more confident and better about yourself. Whether you've
always had low confidence or whether a life experience damaged your self
confidence, hypnotherapy can help you to move forward, feel good about
yourself and give you the confidence to do all the things you'd really
like to do.
5. Fear or phobias. Get control over your mind and
your life by conquering your fears with hypnotherapy. During the relaxed
state of hypnosis, you can explore reasons for your fear, move past
them and replace feelings of fear with those of controlled calmness.
It
is a pleasant, relaxing and enjoyable experience. Some clients describe
it as being like an enjoyable daydream, and some enjoy it so much that
they want to stay for longer in that relaxed state. You remain aware and
in control at all times.
Stage hypnotists thoroughly vet their
participants before hand - they choose extroverts who want to perform on
the stage and who would not embarrass themselves or the hypnotist by
not playing along. Since hypnosis cannot make someone do something they
do not want to do, the participant subconsciously wants to do as the
hypnotist asks and play along. Although this can demonstrate the power
of hypnosis, it differs from hypnotherapy in a number of ways.
Hypnotherapy aims to get to the root cause of your issue or problem, and
the therapist works with you to empower and help you to make these
changes. Your best interests are always at heart, and your integrity is
of the utmost importance.
