Stop Smoking
Why stop smoking? Smoking increases the risk of developing a wide range of health ailments and diseases. But the habit does not only harm the smoker’s health, it can also have a negative impact on the people around them. Children and babies living with people who smoke are vulnerable to many health problems. This includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart disease. A great number of people find hypnotherapy for smoking an effective treatment. The method works to break the negative behaviours and thinking patterns associated with smoking. The thoughts and behaviours the smoker holds is often what prevents them from successfully giving up. When a person makes the decision to stop smoking, the key aspect is to let go of the routine and change their perspective of cigarettes. Breaking an addiction like this is a challenge. Many people find changing how they think about something difficult. As hypnotherapy focuses on this change, it is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of treatment. When considering stop smoking hypnosis, the first thing the person has to do is make sure they are choosing to quit for themselves. Hypnosis for smoking has been found to be most effective when the person really wants to quit. It is important to remember that hypnotherapy for smoking is not a miracle cure. The ultimate aim of stop smoking hypnosis is to empower people to take control of their addiction. Hypnotherapy for smoking will promote healthier behaviours. It can help the individual to develop new patterns of thinking.
Weight Management
In 2016 58% of women and 68% of men were overweight or obese and this figure is rising. The implications for our health are devastating our bodies are designed to know exactly how much food we need to stay alive and well so what is stopping us from hearing to these messages? Solution focused hypnotherapy is incredible effective at helping us to understand what is going on in our brains when we overeat and aids us in gaining control back. Eating when under stress is not just about filling an emotional need. Your body has a system of hormonal checks and balances that actually promote weight gain when you are stressed out. The so-called “stress hormone” cortisol is released in the body during times of stress along with the hormones epinephrine and nor-epinephrine that constitute the “fight or flight” response to a perceived threat. Following the stressful or threatening event, epinephrine and nor-epinephrine levels return to normal while cortisol levels can remain elevated over a longer time period. In fact, cortisol levels can remain persistently elevated in the body when a person is subjected to chronic stress. Experts agree that stress management is a critical part of weight loss regimens, particularly in those who have elevated cortisol levels. Exercise leads to the release of endorphin's, which have natural stress-fighting properties and can lower cortisol levels. To effectively reduce elevated cortisol due to stress, lifestyle changes are essential, Hypnotherapy can aid this.
Confidence
Low self esteem? or lack of confidence? Self-esteem is the phrase we use to describe the opinion we have of ourselves. It refers to how we think, the type of person we are, our abilities and what we expect for the future. When our self-esteem is healthy, we tend to feel good about ourselves and have a positive outlook on life in general. A high self-esteem gives us the courage and strength to deal with the ups and downs in life - without them having a long-term impact on our health and well-being. When our self-esteem is low, our thoughts and feelings about ourselves are generally negative. We are more likely to focus on our weaknesses and be overly critical of the things we do and mistakes we've made. Low self-esteem means our entire outlook on life is affected. We are also less able to cope with everyday challenges. Our mental health can be severely affected by ongoing low self-esteem. Our relationships and physical health may also suffer. Seeking help is vital for ensuring long-term problems do not develop. Hypnotherapy for self-esteem is an increasingly popular means of treatment and support. Confidence is a state of mind. When we feel confident, we accept ourselves and believe in our abilities. When we don't feel confident, we can become stressed, anxious, unfulfilled and ultimately unhappy. Low self-confidence is something many of us suffer with and can be a result of many factors like fear of the unknown, low self-esteem and fear of other people's perceptions. This lack of confidence can hold us back from developing both personally and professionally.
Anxiety
Clinical Hypnotherapy for anxiety and panic attacks is an extremely powerful tool. When an anxious client first visits me I explain how the brain works and how anxiety can gradually build up, sometimes leading to physical symptoms and avoidance techniques in order to protect ourselves, we work on changing the thought processes that are leading to anxiety and panic so that the client can function better and enjoy life to the full. When an anxious client first visits me, I can be surprised at how they have attempted to cope by just using their own resources. They often demonstrate amazing courage and fortitude in an effort to manage their fears, without the help of professional and well-proven techniques such as hypnotherapy, we can often see a real change in just a few sessions.
Sports Performance
Using hypnotherapy to visualise your sporting goals is not just for the A-listers. You too can have an unshakeable belief in your ability and use these techniques to achieve your sporting or fitness goals whether it be a couch to 5k or a triathlon. Using hypnotherapy, I will work with you to remove any negative stress and tension that will inhibit your performance and get you focused mentally on not just achieving your current goals but surpassing them.
Pain Management
Living with chronic pain daily can be taxing both physically and emotionally. People who live with chronic illness and pain go through a wide range of emotions, including sadness, grief, depression, anxiety, frustration, and anger. All of these lead to greater pain severity, hypnosis is a safe drug- free method which has shown to help reduce pain intensity, it helps calm the brain to the noise of pain, providing a much needed respite, aids restorative sleep, reduces stress and worry and helps you feel calmer (we understand that chronic pain can affect your mental wellbeing).
