What happens in a Hypnotherapy Session?

Are Hypnotherapists Accredited?


This month in Hypnotherapist Sydney...

Why see a Hypnotherapist instead of a Counsellor?

The answer to this question lies in the heart of the difference between hypnotherapy and counselling. These are not the same thing at all. Counselling is at best talk therapy, if it is therapy at all. In fact, most counselling works only in the analytical mind and looks only at the reasons for your problems and then you might do some problem solving and that's about it. Your counsellor will be empathic as he or she reflects back what you have said and makes you feel accepted. Now, this is great, but it is definitely not enough to help you let go of anxiety, resolve emotional blocks, change habits, think more positively and so forth.

Hypnotherapy

Within the subconscious mind is all of the elements which influence so much of where we are today. Even the slightest thought could be attributed to the goings on within our deeper mind. Much of the unconscious mind resides within the body. The body serves as a powerful memory, creating habitual thoughts, addictions and emotions, and our cognitive processes, such as our beliefs, become entwined in what our unconscious mind tells us.

In order to make genuine and deliberate changes in life, it is these unconscious processes that need to be lifted and changed.

Hypnotherapy is an extremely natural, proven and safe means by which these changes can be so easily made. It is a state that people experience regularly, like when you find yourself staring off into space. Or when you first wake up in the morning feeling a little groggy. These situations or words might not be precisely how you would describe it, but everyone experiences a trance state regularly.

Hypnobirthing

Hypnosis can make giving birth so much easier.

So you might be pregnant either now or in the future. What an experience! Of course, you want it to be the most pleasurable and pain free experience possible, do you not? So how can this be achieved? This is where Hypnobirthing comes in.

Hypnobirthing is an natural birthing approach that can do much towards creating a safe, natural, drug and medical free birth. 

The process involves a number of steps in getting you to be ready for the big day. The first of these is to remove and let go of all negative associations with the birthing experience. These can include fears and anxiety about being pregnant or with the birth itself, and learning to have confidence your body. Learning to trust your body during pregnancy and while giving birth can lead to such a relief, creating a much more relaxed state.

Accreditation to be a Hypnotherapist in Sydney and Australia

Accreditation is an important factor when looking for a Hypnotherapist in Sydney. There are two main associations that accredit Hypnotherapists, thereby providing a level of reassurance that the therapist has met community established standards in the fields of Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Counselling, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Physiology and Pharmacology. There is more about being an effective Hypnotherapist than just hypnotising someone, as there are requirements of ongoing professional development in the range of fields outlined above.

The two major accrediting associations of hypnotherapists include the Australian Hypnotherapists Association and the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists.


The Australian Hypnotherapists Association is Australia's oldest Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Association and has grown to be a significant force in the registration and accreditation of standards for Hypnotherapists in Australia. The Association is a Member Association of The Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA). Jeremy is a Clinical Member of the Australian Hypnotherapists Association.

Hypnosis Sydney November 2010

The use of Hypnosis in Sydney is very common indeed. Hypnosis is used to help with all kinds of issues that people might have. The experience of going to a hypnotherapist, a specialist in the use of hypnosis for therapeutic benefit, can be a somewhat daunting experience for someone who is unsure of what it means to be hypnotised and how a session might be like. The intention of this latest article in my weblog, today, is to address these concerns in a number of ways. The first is to position the use of hypnosis within the field of psychotherapy and counselling. The second way is to explain what a hypnotherapist does. Thirdly, I will describe what should happen in an initial session with a highly qualified Hypnotherapist and lastly I will describe the experience of being hypnotised.

Hypnotherapy is the ideal state for real therapy to occur in. Not everyone who needs counselling needs therapy. But there are many people who seek assistance for a range of issues that find counselling insufficient in assisting to resolve their actual symptoms or complaint. Many people who come to my practice for assistance have had much counselling and seen little or no change at all. There is a reason for this. Talking about problems may create understanding, and for some people can help them to make changes in their lives with practical advise and exploration. However, for others the issues are deeper. The question is if the issues are deeper, and talking about them has not helped, then what can be done? This is where a Hypnotherapist comes in.

Hypnotherapy OCD Sydney

If you are looking for help with OCD, have you thought of Hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy can help anxiety, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours. 

It is different from counselling, because it allows for access to your unconscious mind to create changes at an emotional level. 

Once the underlying emotions have been released, the old mental looping tapes with the recurring thoughts and habitual behaviours can easily be replaced, controlled and changed.
