Hypnotherapy can be provided in a number of different ways.
Just like in counselling or psychotherapy there are different schools of thought abour the most
effective approach to this form of help.
Suggestion Hypnotherapy
This type of session is as the words imply purely about the hypnotherapist giving suggestions to you. These suggestions are generally phrased in a positive way. Such as “you will eat healthily from now on” as opposed to “don’t eat unhealthily”. Having said that, some therapists will use both ways of phrasing suggestions.
This approach can be effective very quickly and is often used for particular issues such as nail-biting and often self-confidence which can respond well to hypnotic suggestions.
Analytical Hypnotherapy
This is aimed at finding possible causes for a current issue. If someone has IBS there may be a cause for the symptoms of IBS and using hypnosis to aid the memory’s ability to remember the cause can provide relief from the symptoms.
Often referred to as hypnoanalysis, this use of hypnotherapy usually occurs over 4 to 10 sessions and can be used for almost any issue or problem. It generally provides long-term if not permanent resolution from the issue.
Conclusion
Both approaches have their advantages and under the honed skill of a experienced hypnotherapist can be life-transforming.
A well-trained hypnotherapist will usually use a combination of these two types. Indeed any hypnotherapy session, including
hypnoanalysis will inevitably include direct suggestion.
