Hypno-analysis Finding the causes of your
problems Hypno-analysis is used to discover the original cause of psychological and emotional problems. It is a means to get to the root cause of the problem. Once it is revealed and removed, the symptoms will permanently disappear. The types of illnesses which can be helped is truly amazing; Phobias, Eating Disorders, Alcohol dependency, Low Self Esteem, Shyness, Stammering, Sexual problems, Pain and many more. The reason why this therapy can help with all of these conditions is because these conditions are only 'symptoms' of an underlying anxiety, such as a buried trauma, emotion, shock, bereavement etc, which was not expressed at the time.
What Is The Treatment? What will it feel like? The only way to cure problems caused by blocked emotions is to release these feelings. This can be done by using Hypno-analysis. It is, in essence, very simple. After an initial consultation you will be asked to lie on the couch and close your eyes. You will then be relaxed by following the suggestions of the therapist, imagining calmness and peace and you will very quickly becoming very relaxed but still awake. This hypnotic state is a normal and natural state of being. We all pass through this 'hypnoidal' or 'lethargic' state every time we go to sleep. If you have been in meditation or listened to a relaxation tape or just day-dreamed, then you have been in this state. You are not asleep. Your conscious mind is simply in a quiet state while your subconscious mind is more aware and will be able to focus on images and memories much more easily. You will also be able to converse freely, be totally aware and remember everything which is happening. This take only a few minutes and then you will be asked to say whatever comes into your mind - memories from the past. You will not be led in any way. This is called 'free association'. By remembering one incident after another, your thoughts will lead you back to events and emotions from your past. This process can bring back and help you to release intense feelings locked away deep in your unconscious. It is aimed at recreating the emotions for your past. To feel them again, and release them. All the time you will be guided and looked after by the therapist who is trained to give you the best care in this sometimes vulnerable situation. The analysis is a very specialized therapy which is aimed to help you re-experience those feelings which are mainly from childhood. As an adult you can deal with them now as a mature person, putting them in their correct place.
How Many Sessions Will It Take? Hypno-analysis usually takes between 6 and 10 one hour sessions at weekly intervals. It must be stressed that although some people will make a rapid improvement, for many the internal process of change within a person takes time. This process continues after the sessions of Hypnoanalysis have finished. In fact it is not until perhaps six months after it has finished that the full benefit of the treatment will have taken place. The coming to terms and assimilation of these previously unknown and unresolved experiences is what brings permanent relief from the symptoms. This means that, although most people will be free from their problems at the end of analysis, some people may still have their symptoms but these should disappear with time.
