Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy - the gold standard
How does it work?
When you are hypnotised, you are are able to accept suggestions for positive change, and afterwards you find it easier to carry them out. Researchers at Imperial College, London, have found that there are significant changes in brain activity when you are hypnotised, particularly in the brain area dealing with emotions. While much remains unclear about the How of hypnosis, the Whats are more certain. There is plenty of research evidence to show that the benefits of hypnotherapy are long-lasting.
Hypnosis quietens the fight or flight response which is aroused when you are anxious and so reduces anxiety, controls stress and builds confidence. Surgeons really do operate on hypnotised patients. Before the days of ether and chloroform, hypnosis was the only method of anaesthesia.
