What you need to know about High Tech Hypnotherapy (HTH)

What is HTH and how can it help me?

In Hypnosis, positive suggestions, visualisations and guided imagery are given to the unconscious mind to be absorbed and repeated. As a result, you automatically begin to change the way you think and act about yourself and your future to achieve a more positive successful you!

Can everyone be hypnotised?

Anyone who is willing can be hypnotised. Everyone is influenced everyday by many things: our environment, beliefs, friends, feelings, even our own bodies, Hypnosis focuses that influence in a manner that supports your outcome.

Will I say or do anything under Hypnosis which is against my will?

In order for a suggestion to take place, you must be in complete agreement with it. You will never say or do anything against your morals or beliefs.

What will I feel like under HTH?

Hypnosis is a very peaceful state of mind. Stress and pressures disappear and every nerve and muscle in your body is free of tension although you remain alert and completely in control. When you open your eyes, you feel peaceful, refreshed, optimistic and hopeful, and determined and motivated to follow through with new positive thought patterns.

Do I need High tech Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy can help you if you experience nervous symptoms such as: anxiety, depression, fears, and stress or physical complaints. If you have difficulties with other people at work or in personal relationships; if you have emotional, self-esteem or problems; if you feel out of control with unwanted habits or patterns; if you suffer from irritability, bad temper or you just believe you are not getting the most out of your life, Hypnotherapy will be of help to you.

Will I go to sleep?

You are never unconscious nor in a sleep state. Instead you are more mentally alert and whilst completely relaxed your senses are more acute. When we use the words “deep sleep”, we mean a deep relaxation of the mind and body.

Will I remember everything after Hypnosis?

You will remember everything clearly and perfectly after being hypnotised. You are always in complete control.

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

The process of going into a hypnotic state is very relaxing and once you have reached a deep enough state of relaxation, you will be guided so that you can start to make the changes that might be necessary to achieve your desired outcome.

Addictions

Addictions ruin people’s lives and those of the ones they care about most.

Through our unique techniques using hypnosis and other neural sciences learn how to successfully control the problem and stop.

At HTH we have helped many clients to quit their addictions that have often occurred for decades.

 

Just a few of the addictions we have worked with are

·        alcohol

·        gambling

·        drugs

·        eating and or certain food addictions

·        drinking

·        gambling

·        Substance abuse

·        Sex

 

We have found that people use there addictions for certain reasons.  They may use their addiction to deal with stress of anxiety or perhaps just to unwind.  Gambling for example is often used to help to deal with stress and unwind but it doesn’t really work.  Some of our clients have spent tens of thousands of dollars a year on pokies or some other form of gambling. The only ones who win are the ones who own the machines. The only way to deal with this problem is to quit totally and stay completely free – always!

It is useful to find other ways to relax such as new activities (that ideally are not expensive) and self hypnosis. Some clients just need to break the pattern; others need to deal with the underlying issues that led to the problem in the first place.

Alcohol

Alcohol can cause a wide range of problems including abusive behaviour to family and friends, the dangers of drink driving, health risks, expense, and not being able to function properly at work. Some clients I have worked with need to learn to control their use of alcohol, others need to quit totally.
Drugs

For some people drug use is a nuisance – for others it can be life threatening. Marijuana for example is very commonly used and some people can take it or leave it. But some smoke every day or even several times a day. There are other drugs that are almost guaranteed to lead to disaster e.g. Speed, Ice, ecstasy and heroin.  Learning to change your mind about the habit and being committed to being free can make all the difference.

Chocolate, Coca Cola, Coffee

Addiction to chocolate can be expensive, unhealthy, cause weight and skin problems and be a nuisance. Clients have felt so much better giving up with addictions to chocolate, as well as coke and coffee.  As one of my clients said recently “no chocolate of any form has passed my lips since my 2006 session with you ….. success!”

Panic Attacks

Panic attacks are very sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety, mounting physiological arousal, fear, stomach problems and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms. The onset of these episodes is typically abrupt, and may have no obvious triggers. Although these episodes may appear random, they are a subset of an evolutionary response commonly referred to as fight or flight that occur out of context. This response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline), that aid it in defending against harm.[2] Experiencing a panic attack is said to be one of the most intensely frightening, upsetting and uncomfortable experiences of a person’s life.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder OCD

OCD is generally characterised by obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions, such as cleaning, checking, counting, or hoarding. It is a potentially disabling condition that can persist throughout a person’s life. The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome. OCD occurs in a spectrum from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, can destroy a person’s capacity to function at work, at school, or even in the home.

Hypnotherapy for Postnatal Depression

Postnatal depression (PND) occurs in all cultures and all socio-economic classes, and can happen to child-bearing women of all ages.
Postnatal depression is not a modern condition. Each generation calls it something different. What we call PND today may have been called a ‘nervous breakdown’ 50 years ago.
Mild, moderate, or severe symptoms can begin during pregnancy (antenatal depression), suddenly after birth, or gradually in the weeks or months following delivery. Symptoms can emerge at any time during the first year after birth, but most cases have their onset within the first 4 months.
Postnatal depression can happen after miscarriage, stillbirth, normal delivery, or Caesarean delivery. Pregnancy is the common factor. This disorder generally happens mostly after a first baby, but can occur after any other pregnancy. It has a 50 per cent chance of recurrence with a subsequent pregnancy.

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Post traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more terrifying events that threatened or caused grave physical harm. It is a severe and ongoing emotional reaction to an extreme psychological trauma. This stressor may involve someone’s actual death, a threat to the patient’s or someone else’s life,  serious physical injury,  or threat to physical or psychological integrity,  overwhelming psychological defenses. In some cases it can also be from profound psychological and emotional trauma, apart from any actual physical harm. Often, however, the two are combined.
