CBT/ Hypnotherapy client
Tue 29 Aug 2023

I have had 3 adult sessions of CBT and hypnotherapy now. I am feeling so much more positive about everything and I'm excited about future sessions and the future in general. Really beginning to believe in myself and Emma's approach is absolutely what I need. Very professional but friendly and makes you feel completely at ease. She is easy to talk to, open up to and be 100% honest with, without judgement.

Overview - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

 

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.

It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.

How CBT works

CBT is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a negative cycle.

CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts.

You're shown how to change these negative patterns to improve the way you feel.

Unlike some other talking treatments, CBT deals with your current problems, rather than focusing on issues from your past.

It looks for practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.

Uses for CBT

CBT has been shown to be an effective way of treating a number of different mental health conditions.

In addition to depression or anxiety disorders, CBT can also help people with:

CBT is also sometimes used to treat people with long-term health conditions, such as:

Although CBT cannot cure the physical symptoms of these conditions, it can help people cope better with their symptoms.

What happens during CBT sessions

If CBT is recommended, you'll usually have a session with a therapist once a week or once every 2 weeks.

The course of treatment usually lasts for between 6 and 20 sessions, with each session lasting 30 to 60 minutes.

During the sessions, you'll work with your therapist to break down your problems into their separate parts, such as your thoughts, physical feelings and actions.

You and your therapist will analyse these areas to work out if they're unrealistic or unhelpful, and to determine the effect they have on each other and on you.

Your therapist will then be able to help you work out how to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

After working out what you can change, your therapist will ask you to practise these changes in your daily life and you'll discuss how you got on during the next session.

The eventual aim of therapy is to teach you to apply the skills you have learnt during treatment to your daily life.

This should help you manage your problems and stop them having a negative impact on your life, even after your course of treatment finishes.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the process that awakens that part of the brain which helps to control the behavior of the body. The process helps in healing from addictions and helps lead a healthy lifestyle. It makes us realize that we can change anything about ourselves that we need to but it takes realization and tapping the switch of the brain that says ‘I can do it’. And hypnosis tap that switches very effectively.

An accepted medical treatment

Hypnotherapy has always been a matter of doubt for many of us. But it is very rarely known that hypnosis is also a form of medical treatment that is accepted by medical practitioners. And interestingly, it has been there since the 1950’s and hypnotherapists have been using it to improve the mental health of people.

It is considered to be the best way to deal with negative behaviours and remove phobias.

Hypnotherapists get access to a person’s subconscious mind to treat them through the process and help them control their body and mind.

Hypnosis does not make the person sleep

We think that during the process of hypnotherapy, a person is asleep. But the person is very much awake and aware of what is happening around them. A person does not sleep during hypnotherapy. However, they can sleep out of fatigue but it is not in the process.

A person undergoing hypnotherapy knows everything going on and is capable of controlling his mind and body. Their actions are totally controllable.

The person is very well aware

During hypnotism, the person is able to control himself completely. His actions and body movements are fully under his control and he is fully aware of what has been said to him.

The person can hear and comprehend everything he is listening to during the process. The main motive is to free his mind from the pain not to make them do anything through bodily movements.

Treatment of many diseases

The use of hypnotherapy has been proven very effective in the field of science. People seek the help of hypnotherapy practitioners when they have to get rid of any sort of addiction. It is easy to control the urges when you are going through hypnotherapy.

Also, it helps in overcoming fears and phobias. People who have the fear of height, or water take the hypnotherapy sessions so that they can live life freely and out of fear.

Works according to the intended goal

Hypnotherapy is the process that works according to their goal and intention. We all have seen the hypnosis on stage as something that people forget once they wake up after the completion of the process.

But in reality, people who go through hypnotherapy are very aware of and remember everything. But if the goal of the hypnotherapy is to erase some memory, then it can be done during the process. However, the memories can come back with further help if one wants them back.

Basically, it is all about the goal, some people go through the process to get rid of any sort of negative memory.
