What is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
Imagine a therapy that combines the power of your mind with the soothing relaxation of hypnosis—that's Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) in a nutshell!
It is a powerful therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with hypnotherapy techniques. At its core, CBH focuses on understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and leveraging the power of suggestion to facilitate positive change.
In CBH, we work collaboratively to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to emotional distress or limiting personal growth. By integrating hypnosis into the therapeutic process, we can access the subconscious mind more effectively, allowing for deeper exploration and transformation.
During hypnosis, clients enter a relaxed state of focused attention where they are more receptive to suggestions for change. This heightened state of suggestibility enables us to bypass the critical faculty of the conscious mind and access deeper levels of awareness, where lasting change can occur.
CBH is highly individualized, with treatment plans tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. Whether addressing issues such as anxiety, phobias, or low self-esteem, CBH empowers individuals to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create positive, lasting change in their lives.
