Clinical Therapy

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness, involving focused attention and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestions and enhanced or reduced peripheral awareness. When this concept is applied as a therapy to address wellness issues, then it is termed hypnotherapy. Mechanisms such as guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention are used to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is also called a state of trance.

In a state of complete relaxation, a person feels calmer and more relaxed and is more open to positive suggestions and affirmations. Once the person becomes more relaxed and calmer, the therapist communicates with the subconscious part of the brain and gives positive suggestions relevant to specific issues like stress, anxiety, addiction and so on.

Regress to cause: hypnoanalysis of a problem

This is a methodology where the therapist takes the client back in time using regression techniques to see when the cause of the current problem first originated, and then addresses the issue appropriately.

Parts Therapy

This is mainly used when there is an inner conflict that prevents the client from achieving the desired goals. This technique uses hypnosis to identify the conflicting parts that hinder wellbeing and then helps those parts negotiate with each other to arrive at a final resolution.

For example, “I want to exercise in the mornings every day but I am not able to” is a conflict. Parts therapy will help address this effectively.

Pain Management

There are several studies that show that hypnosis interventions consistently produce significant decrease in pain associated with a variety of both acute and chronic pain issues. This is majorly in the form of instructions through self-hypnosis.

Mental and emotional issues through Hypnodrama

This is a simple yet very powerful technique for bringing about shifts in relationships. The process involves asking the person to do a role play in a state of trance, and they are asked to rehearse, visualise and experience the kind of relationship they want more or less of under hypnosis.

The idea is that their mental distortions are identified and removed. Many times this helps them vent all their negativity towards the other person from mind and body, and replace it with opposite positive emotions, behaviour or responses.

Inner Child

Most parents are very loving and care for their children in general and try to provide a stable and secure environment. However, sometimes children grow up in toxic environments, and being vulnerable and sensitive, these traumas are stored in the brain, in many cases with long-lasting effects. Children who grow up in such environments can sometimes develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The emotional pain they suffer as a child can manifest in several ways as they grow up and keep haunting them throughout their life.

This inner child is present inside each one of us. Instead of addressing and healing the pain of this child inside us, generally we either forget and move on or we don't pay much attention to the cries of our inner child. Hypnotherapy helps connect with the inner child and make peace with what happened. The conflicts that reside deep in our subconscious due to childhood traumas get effectively addressed through hypnotherapy.
