| | Cheshire, and Shropshire are turning to hypnotherapy, as the silly old ideas about hypnosis are left in the past, and hypnotherapy and NLP start to become recognised as the positive forces for good that they really are. It looks inevitable that NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) will eventually have to license hypnotherapy, as researchers pile positive evidence upon positive evidence at their door, and meanwhile many people are already voting with their feet, so you're in good company!
So, why are some of us happy, or at least coping well, in the face of the many problems and difficulties that modern life throws at us, whilst others are anxious, depressed, angry, frustrated, down in the dumps, overweight, using excessive alcohol or other drugs, wanting to stop smoking tobacco, cynical, controlling, violent, and so on? The answer is uncomfortably simple, and it is that we choose it, one way or the other. Oh, maybe not in one big go, but bit by bit, in 'bite size' chunks that begin to accumulate, and which grow in influence, until they become disabling, until we look for help, until we end up looking at a website like this.
Most of us do not solely go down a negative path, or solely go down a positive path, but rather it is aspects of our lives that become problematical and negative, and when they start to really become problematical, they can obscure everything else, and even halt all the other more positive areas of our lives.
The good news is that we can choose ourselves right back up there and into that photograph (our own version of it) if we want to, with hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and NLP. We can move our focus from our problems and worries, whatever they are, really, whatever they are, and improve our lot, by focusing positively on what it is we want.
If it sounds simple then that's because it is, and in an age of MRI scans, we are now able to show that by thinking positively.... that by focusing on success....that by imagining what we want, we can influence our future to the point where we could reasonably be described as 'choosing' it,... when we choose to focus positively on what we want, then we create different chemical environments in our brains, which directly influence the way we feel and behave. This process can be started in the most humble and tiny of ways, and can be just allowed to develop, as the little things become bigger things, until we find that we have changed our lives for the better....and the real joy is that whether you experience anger, frustration, sadness, depression, anxiety, or their manifestations, through wanting to stop smoking tobacco, overeating, drinking too much alcohol, addiction to drugs, even nail biting, or if these feelings distort your perception of your environment causing you to experience debilitating levels of pain, or fear of every day events like flying, to name but two, the absolute reassurance is that they all come from very similar mental processes, and can be treated with very similar therapeutic techniques.
Most people think in the negative format, "I hope I don't this", or "I hope he doesn't that", and our unconscious mind cannot distinguish between the positive and negative in those things that we dwell on, only the object in question. When we think "I hope I don't fail this exam", we cause the unconscious mind to dwell on failing the exam, and in turn, the prospect of failing the exam causes anxiety responses, including chemical releases into the brain, which accelerate the rate at which you entertain the prospect of failing the exam, creating a vicious circle which, without intervention, becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.....you fail the exam, or do less well than you should have. By the time you've taken the exam, you've practised your failure very hard, so why wouldn't you?!
When we think positively, when we actually imagine success, especially within hypnosis, when we say "I hope I pass this exam", and positively visualise ourselves having actually passed, and enjoying all the rewards of passing, we set about an entirely different process, also involving chemical releases into the brain, but this time positive 'reward' chemicals, which the brain loves, and without your knowing sets you about finding more, by repeating your behaviour or thought patterns.
These reward chemicals are amongst our most fundamental drivers, and when the brain is functioning effectively they are in plentiful supply. When it isn't, we can make it function effectively, and we start with positive imagination of success, both consciously and in hypnotherapy, and we can start to show your unconscious mind what it is you want, rather than what you don't want. Often we'll discover new things that you want on the way, things that may not have been obvious at the outset, and that can be very nice. The hypnotherapy itself is almost universally positively enjoyed, and provides a very agreeable vehicle to good mental health.....or just getting you to step on an aeroplane, or to perform to the best of your ability!
Despite persistent rumours to the contrary, we are still searching for the first person to be 'stuck' in a hypnotic trance, and despite appearances, particularly those dreary ones on stages and TV, people really cannot be made to do anything that is outside of their value range whilst hypnotised. Hypnosis is a very agreeable voluntary state, made possible by your co-operation, and achieved by you, not the hypnotist.
The method of hypnotherapy employed at Positive Hypnotherapy is called Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and is exactly as it sounds, focused on a positive, optimistic future, and as brief as humanly possible, which is good for your pocket! We do not use analytical methods of therapy, but offer no opinion on them, mentioning this only inasmuch as we want potential clients to understand that we know, often their problems will have unhappy or even distressing associations, and we would like potential clients to be clear that these will not be dwelled upon in any way, beyond establishing the facts. No facing up, no uncovering repressed emotions. Clients actually seeking analysis should look elsewhere.
If you live in or near the Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry corridor, or in or near Nantwich then whatever your problem, be it little or large, common or rare (and few really are), you'll find that things are never as bad as they can seem, and you'll find there's a very agreeable and happy way of working your way through them at Positive Hypnotherapy.
