Why Pure Hypnoanalysis is different to all other Therapies...
By Cara Ostryn, hypnotherapist and hypnotist at the Ruislip Hypnotherapy Clinic. Serving the areas of Pinner, Harrow, Uxbridge, Hillingdon and London.
Most of my clients have tried other therapies before they come to me: Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), counselling, NLP, EFT, sex therapy, psychotherapy...the list goes on and on.
Not surprisingly, people become disillusioned because they are desperate to cure their symptoms and their hopes are high - particularly if the therapist has promised them a cure.
There are lots of people spending time and money on therapies that do not permanently cure them. I'm not saying these therapies don't provide some relief or reduction of symptoms - I know they can. For example CBT allows the client to better understand the triggers of their symptoms, and that in itself is therapeutic as the client feels they have more control over their symptoms.
Indeed, all a person may want is just a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear when they are going through a tough patch in life. In this case, these therapies may be just what they are looking for in order for them to feel better and move on.
Pure Hypnoanalysis
Pure Hypnoanalysis (as practiced by IAPH members) is completely different to all these therapies because it removes the CAUSE of the symptoms, it doesn't just work on trying to reduce or control them.
The underlying factor of all symptoms is emotional (often anxiety-based) and not open to intellectual understanding. For example, a phobia is an extreme and irrational fear. Because it is irrational, the cause and resolution of the symptoms is not open to rational thought and understanding - which is what counselling and CBT is based around.
Other examples of symptoms being emotional rather than rational:
• OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder): Suffers who compulsively wash their hands know intellectually that their hands are clean, but they are still compelled to carry out this behaviour.
• PANIC ATTACKS: It may make sense when people have panic attacks on the tube, in planes, but what about all the thousands of people who have panic attacks in the supposed comfort of their own homes?
• PHOBIAS: It may make sense to have a fear of flying, but it would make much more sense for the 12 million people in the UK with this phobia to have a fear of driving - it's much more dangerous.
Phobia of dogs - Most people with a fear of dogs have never been troubled by a dog, or similarly, many people who have been bitten by a dog do not then go on to develop a phobia.
• COMFORT EATING : Many people would love to lose weight, they know what they should and shouldn't be eating but still their emotions drive them to comfort eat, despite their best efforts to be good.
THESE ARE NOT RATIONAL BEHAVIOURS/FEELINGS AND SO ARE NOT OPEN TO RATIONAL UNDERSTANDING!
This is because emotions are always more powerful than logical thought. Therefore, only a therapy which truly deals with resolving the emotions that cause these symptoms will provide any permanent relief from symptoms.
it is important that people out there who have been disappointed by the efficacy of other therapies to know that hypnoanalysis is completely different. To support this, please go to my Testimonials page to read about how Pure Hypnoanalysis has really changed peoples lives.
All Hypnotherapy is not the same!
Although Pure Hypnoanalysis is categorised under the banner of 'Hypnotherapy', it is completely different to Suggestion therapy, or 'Clinical Hypnotherapy'. The only similarity is that hypnosis is the tool used to relax the client.
Again, I also have many clients who have tried hypnotherapy in the past only to find that it had little effect or the positive effects have since worn off and their problems remain. This is most likely to be because they have had Suggestion therapy: the client is relaxed and given positive suggestions to remove their symptoms.
Although this therapy can be very successful, it is usually just a temporary solution: because it is aimed at the symptoms, rather than removing the cause, the problem returns, or another symptom appears in place...the emotions will find another way of coming out.
Pure Hypnoanalysis involves creating a safe, trusting and confidential environment where the natural therapeutic process can work, allowing the client to slowly bring bottled up emotions to the surface, week by week. Usually, only 6-10 sessions are necessary.
When the emotions have been released, so too are the symptoms they caused, leaving the sufferer symptom free and feeling generally calmer, more confident and happier in their everyday life.
