MIND BODY CONNECTION AND HYPNOTHERAPY
Gone are the days of limiting ourselves to the belief that our mind is situated only in our brain. More and more people are beginning to entertain a new, yet age-old belief that our mind exists within, and governs the working of our whole body.
Many times a person may be suffering from a physical problem, but "know in their gut" that it has some connection with their mental or emotional state.
We have all had an experience at some point in our lives where our body represents an emotional experience we might be going through. Whether it is "the weight of the world on your shoulders," or being "heart broken," or being "pissed off" we often relate to how we are feeling by bodily sensations. Whether or not we want to admit it, our emotions do have an affect on our bodies - especially when those emotions go unexpressed. Do you notice how your shoulders tighten up when you don't deal with stress properly? Or maybe you make more trips to the toilet when you're nervous? Or maybe you get sick when you are emotionally "run down"?
Hypnosis provides a wonderful, safe and risk free alternative to complement conventional treatment. It also offers an alternative to those individuals who suffer from physical complaints that have no conventional treatment (eg. irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc).
How can Hypnotherapy help?
Hypnosis can help in a variety of ways with mind-body issues. Whether it is simply pain management, visualisations, or deeper techniques based on discovering possible contributing emotional factors. All of the hypnotherapy techniques used are focused at getting the client to experience a state of mental and emotional balance so that 1) the body is free to work in its most efficient way to heal itself and 2) the individual is more receptive to positive healing suggestions.
(Disclaimer: Under no circumstances is hypnotherapy meant to replace the treatment prescribed by a medical professional. Hypnosis is provided as a complementary therapy to offer individuals greater alternatives on their way to health.)
...a professional, caring and client-centred approach...
