For an insight into yourself it has no equal. What is Hypnotherapy used for? Hypnosis is very effective with deep rooted psychosomatic problems such as Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Fears & Phobias, Stress & OCD (obsessive Compulsive Disorder). We work under the “Cause & Effect” ethos. By finding the root cause of the problem & dealing with it, we remove the effects. Other treatments really only treat the symptoms but fail to address the actual cause of the problem. Depression is quite a common problem nowadays & many who have it, fail to recognise it, the following are some of the more common indications of depression: feeling of sadness/hopelessness, insomnia early waking or difficulty getting up. Eating disturbances, diminished ability to think or concentrate, thoughts of suicide or death, fatigue, weakness, lack of enthusiasm. Low self esteem & guilt. Anxiety & Panic Attacks can come in the form of one or all of the following; Profuse sweating with increased heart rate, palpitations & shortness of breath, dizziness or feeling faint & usually a feeling of wanting to “get away” from a particular situation. We all have fears of some kind or another Fears or Phobias can take over your life such as: Fear of Flying, Fear of dogs, Fear of heights, Fear of needles...... The list is endless & those above are just a few examples. Stress is more common today then ever before & manifests itself in many different ways, be it the pressure at school or work.
