Choosing a hypnotherapist

If you choose to visit a hypnotherapist for your hypnotherapy session, you should take care to choose a trustworthy and reputable practitioner.

In most places, anyone can set up as a hypnotherapist, and some have only the very briefest of �professional� training.

Please don�t let this put you off though, as hypnosis therapy can actually be very effective.

The effectiveness of hypnotherapy is actually proven by more genuine scientific evidence, than practically any other form of �alternative� or �complementary� therapy.

Hypnotherapy has proven physical benefits on the body � so can treat actual physical illnesses, as well as emotional or psychological problems.

Many people report real positive changes with hypnosis therapy � both in their physical and psychological symptoms.

When choosing your hypnotherapist, make sure you look for a professional hypnotherapist - who concentrates on the therapeutic benefits of hypnosis � rather than someone who describes themselves as just a �hypnotist�.

If possible, ask friends or family for a recommendation. Although it is actually just as important to find someone that you:
- feel comfortable with
- completely trust
- and have a good rapport with

Personally, I don�t feel comfortable going to a hypnotherapist, so I use self help hypnosis downloads from this website. I find them to be extremely effective.

Your First Session

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that you will get a miraculous cure in your first hypnotherapy session�

Instead, you should expect a series of sessions � the exact number will depend upon your own particular health problem, and your own response to hypnosis.

The first session normally consists of �normal� talking between you and your hypnotherapist �
�simply gathering information about your problems, hopes and goals, and explaining what to expect from the sessions.

You may not even be hypnotised at all, during your very first session.

The Sessions

Going into Hypnosis

hypnosis therapy choosing a practitioner

Every practitioner has their own special methods to help a patient go into the relaxed but aware state of mind required.

You will usually be asked to sit or lie comfortably. You will probably close your eyes.

The hypnotherapist will help you to relax by speaking to you in a slow and soothing voice.

The practitioner might help you to:
- visualize you are:
  - in a safe comfortable place
  - walking down a road
  - walking down steps
- they might count backwards with you
- or get you to concentrate on a particular spot in the room
- or on a particular object (probably not a swinging pocket watch though!)

The hypnotherapist waits until you are in the correct relaxed but aware state of mind, where your subconscious mind is receptive to suggestions of new behaviour.

Then they can explore the problem, perhaps with:
- stories and visualisations
- reliving past experiences and learning new ways to experience the same events
- introducing suggestions of new behaviour

The practitioner then brings you gradually back to �reality�, with the new suggestions firmly implanted in your subconscious.

There is no need to worry that you might remain or get stuck in a hypnotic trance, or will lose control of your own mind. This does not and will not happen.

Remember, no hypnotherapist can make the subconscious mind do anything that it does not really want to.

You may remember everything that has been said in your session, or you may remember very little or nothing at all.

Aftercare

Once the symptoms are at a manageable level, your hypnotherapist may teach you how to self hypnotise yourself. (More about self help hypnosis)

This is something that you can practice regularly to keep your illness under control.
