What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
I Don't Fix You: Discovering the Answers Already Within
As an experienced solution-focused hypnotherapist, I don't fix you!
Instead, I create the supportive space and conditions where the answers you already hold in your subconscious can surface through all the chaos and noise of your conscious mind and be implemented in your day-to-day life through the power of hypnotherapy, so creating lasting change.
🌊 Focusing on Where You Want to Be
I'll ask simple questions to help you recognise where you are now, visualise where you'd like to be, and take the steps to make lasting change a reality. These ideas and strategies are then reinforced in hypnosis: an enjoyable, natural, but powerful way to engage your subconscious mind in helping make the changes you'd like.
🌊 Beyond the Surface: The 95% Operating System
Where other schools of hypnotherapy may deal directly with a problem such as weight management or smoking, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy recognises that, if the underlying subconscious issues aren't addressed, any improvements are likely to be short-lived.
The thing is, we all have subconscious patterning unique to ourselves which makes up 95% of our operating system and which lives in our bodies, not our heads. Trying to think our way out of problems uses only the 5% of our function that is based in the mind, and this cognitive way of 'knowing' is really quite superficial and based on guesswork and prediction.
🌊 Working With Our Protective Patterns
The subconscious habits and patterns which really drive us, and make our choices for us, tend to be buried deep underneath this surface layer. This part of us is very tender and young, and creates all kinds of armour and defensive behaviour to keep itself safe. Until it feels safe, we can think and plan and talk about 'willpower' all we want, but this part of us will always run the show and drag us back into old bad habits or replace them with new ones, very quickly.
This part of us just wants to be heard and integrated and will work around any changes to get itself right in our face again.
Hypnotherapy uses the power of suggestion and the very ordinary concept of trance to reach deep down past the noise of our prefrontal cortex and into the deeper, more emotional and child-like parts of ourselves, so finding what's true for us, and healing the parts of us that have been running protection and damage-limitation programming for most of our lives. Sounds good, right?
