Cognitive Behaviour Therapy CBT
CBT Cognitive behaviour therapy provides new ways of thinking and feeling within
a short period of time, this therapy usually takes between 5 - 9 sessions. This is
opposed to, often frequently long therapies. Some therapies can go on for many months
and even years which, paradoxically holds that person back from going forward. The
longer therapy continues, constantly reminds the client, that their problem is something
drastic, becomes more reliant on the therapist, with nothing happening in respect
to coping or feeling better.
People suffering depression tend to think or ruminate about the same old problem
over and over again. Thinking of things in the past that hurt them, or feel guilty
about, things they have not accomplished, and that they are useless and hopeless.
They say ‘Things will never get better’, ‘I will never be able to have a good relationship,
job’, ‘I’m no good at anything’ or ‘it’s my fault things went wrong’. These unrealistic
self-critical evaluations develop pessimistic ideas, that create low self-esteem
and a sense of hopelessness and helplessness.
Providing cognitive, behavioural CBT, and interpersonal approaches within hypnosis,
allows that person to think and feel differently and produces sophisticated ways
of overcoming problems. Solutions to problem solving are imperative and significantly
reduces a relapse. These coping skills and mechanisms are resources within all of
us, which are identified and brought out, to be utilised for the future. Clinical
hypnosis creates the effectiveness of psychotherapy, which enables unique specific
and positive changes to take place in the depressed individual. Virtually all CBT
sessions are recorded onto a CD for the client to play during each session. Self-help
assignments are provided, so the client can obtain a better approach to behaviors.
My aim is, to teach the individual to become their own therapist.
I reckon you only live life once, it’s how you go through life, that’s most important.
Analytical Therapy
Some clients require Analytical therapy with clinical hypnosis. This therapy is used
to discover causes of psychological problems. Hypno-analysis can be briefly summarised
as the doctrine of ‘cause and effect’ (the symptom) must have a cause. Hypno-analysis
aims to reveal and thus remove the cause, and consequently relieves the symptoms.
If a person feels that there are issues from the past, then they can be resolved.
