What is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy?
Here’s what you need to know about Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and how it can help you create lasting positive change in your life.
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) combines the power of hypnosis with the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy to help you make lasting positive changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours. It helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, teaching them how to reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier behaviours. CBT is goal-oriented and practical, equipping people with skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and various other mental health issues. It helps clients build problem-solving skills, improve emotional regulation, and increase resilience.
Hypnotherapy uses the power of hypnosis to help individuals access a deep state of relaxation and heightened focus. In this relaxed state, the mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and change. Hypnotherapy can help people overcome fears, manage stress, improve sleep, break unwanted habits, and boost self-esteem. By working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can help reprogram negative beliefs and emotional responses, leading to lasting change. It's a gentle yet powerful tool for self-improvement and healing.
