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 7 - 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.

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.
