How Hypnotherapy Can Improve Your Mental Health

Hypnotherapy enables us to relax, and focus. In undergoing hypnotherapy, we centre on a particular area of your concern, adapting and changing your responses, and reinforcing your inner abilities.

Mental health issues often result after intense negative experiences that have accumulated over time. Humans often suppress painful memories and emotions, but the problem remains, and it manifests in our self-image, self-talk, and behaviour. Hypnosis for anxiety or depression for example, has the potential to release the emotional pain attached to buried memories, without trauma. In addressing lingering concerns, we can then begin to heal, and move on.

Hypnosis and mental health go together, and hypnotherapy is a natural therapy that doesn’t require consuming chemicals in the form of medications. In the middle of the contemporary pandemic when people are experiencing self-isolation and quarantine on a mass scale, mental health has never been more important.  

Read on for some ways this growingly popular therapy can help you achieve a better mental state and improve your overall well-being.

1. Addictive behaviours

Suggestion therapy is one way of applying hypnotherapy for addictive behaviors. When under hypnosis, we become more susceptible to suggestions. The hypnotherapist can, therefore, repeat and reinforce statements that can change a person’s daily behaviours. For example, the adverse effects of the addiction can be highlighted and emotionally charged to reinforce an aversion response to their addiction. 

2. Emotional pain and trauma

Hypnosis can often help a person get to the bottom of trauma or emotional pain so that it can be released. It can help unearth feelings that have been buried away, so that they may be treated. A hypnotised person benefits from a clarity of thought that can help them zone in on areas requiring attention. This can help address issues such as lack of confidence and absence of self-worth.

3. Stress and depression

Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxing process. Through hypnosis, you can address the causes of stress and depression in your life. These can be replaced with positive thoughts, using suggestion therapy.  Hypnosis frequently encourages deep breathing which, in itself, can also help release stress and anxiety. Relaxation tools may be taught as a means of self-help between sessions.

Summary

Hypnotherapy is a long-standing treatment for many mental health issues. It is recognised in many parts of the world and is growing in its acceptance as a mainstream treatment. Through hypnosis, it is possible to be at peace within, and within your daily life.

If you have unsuccessfully tried various other means of overcoming your mental health issues, then consider hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is empowering therapy that gets to the very heart of your problems. Your thoughts dictate the way the body responds.
