Who would benefit from therapy?

Can you identify with the cartoons below?

  • Do you feel out of control - unable to stop a self destructive habit, panicky, unreasonably fearful?
  • Do you feel anxious, unable to cope, depressed, or unable to say no when you want to?
  • Are you losing your sense of purpose or direction in life?
  • Have you become indecisive and unsure of yourself?
  • Have you suffered traumatic stress or been the victim of childhood abuse and even now feel unable to come to terms with it?

If the answer is YES then read on.

For there is no reason why anyone should put up with something which they feel is inside themselves but outside their control.

Why do I feel like this?

Unfortunately, all of us are, to some degree a victim of our past. As children, few if any of us has the psychological know-how to take care of ourselves. How many of us were raised in a family that was constantly nurturing and supportive providing us with unconditional love? In varying degrees we can identify with having suffered some physical, emotional, mental and spiritual anguish as a result of growing up. We have all experienced pain, put downs disappointments, traumas, Some of us have been able to handle it better than others.

It takes a lot of energy to block out those painful emotions. As a result, the person might feel down, depressed or fatigued or be totally numb to life. Other means may also be employed that's detrimental to the person's health and relationships - like the excessive intake of drugs, alcohol or tobacco, overwork, violence or sex to mask or suppress theirpain.

Adeline K.C. Kam offers caring and professional help, in total confidentiality, for emotional and psychological problems through a combination of hypnotherapy, NLP and psychotherapy in hypnosis.

THE THERAPY:

HYPNOTHERAPY

is treatment under hypnosis and can be divided into two very different categories:-

Suggestion therapy

Is a straightforward technique which is used for simple problems such as smoking, nail biting, relaxation, pre-examination nerves and confidence boosting; and requires between 1 to 3 hourly sessions, with perhaps a booster later on.

Analytical therapy

Is used to discover the original causes of psychological problems. Hypno-analysis can be summarised briefly as the doctrine of cause and effect; every effect (i.e. symptom) must have a cause. Hypno-analysis reveals and thus removes the cause and consequently relieves the symptom.

Emotional problems such as anxiety, mild depression, phobias, apathy etc. respond particularly well to hypno-analysis. The object of the analysis is to discover and understand past traumatic experiences, to discharge guilt and to remove the harmful and restrictive consequences of the traumatic events. In fact, hypno-analysis can be viewed as a journey of self discovery, what you could not handle as a child can now be handled adequately by the adult. When you understand the cause of your fears and face up to it, you take the sting out of the memory and subsequently grow stronger and more confident - able to step out from the past, enjoy the present and reach out towards the future.

One can be fairly confident that a release, bringing the client to a moment of surprising and liberating enlightenment will be obtained usually within 8 to 12 weekly sessions of analysis. With these cases, we are talking about a complete and lasting release by finding and removing the emotional content of the originating causes - as opposed to mere control of symptoms by suggestion.

The use of hypnosis dramatically speeds up analysis and results can be achieved in a matter of weeks rather than years as in the case of conventional analysis.

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Enables individuals to learn about themselves, to develop new insights into past and present relationships as well as to change fixed patterns of behaviour. A variety of approaches is used according to the needs of the individual concerned: i.e. emotive rational therapy, cognitive and behavioural therapy and aversion therapy. When used in conjunction with hypnosis, noticeable changes are observed within a short space of time.

HYPNOSIS - A Brief Introduction

This short explanation is intended to allay some of the fears concerning the use of hypnosis in therapy and to reassure potential clients that what takes place is very normal and non magical.

The myths and mysteries surrounding the use of hypnosis are totally undeserved. The state of hypnosis is a totally natural phenomenon, akin to daydreaming, and is most relaxing and pleasant. Whilst in that relaxed state, the person is in total control and cannot be made to do anything against his / her will. If any suggestions are made that is improper or contradicts their beliefs and moral codes, the person will either reject the suggestion right away or wake up from the trance state.

Hypnosis is derived from the Greek word Hypnos (sleep) but far from being asleep, a person in hypnosis is on the contrary, often more aware of what is taking place than usual and their senses function more efficiently than normal. They still have overall control of their own mind, can converse whilst in a totally relaxed state yet cannot be made to do anything against their will. Anybody, except the mentally subnormal, very young children and inebriates, can enter the hypnotic state.

Hypnosis is simply a state of relaxation and concentration along with a heightened awareness induced by suggestion; in fact there is no such thing as a hypnotised feeling. Hypnotherapy is non addictive, it feels good, is suitable for almost everybody and has no harmful side effects.
