What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

---

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a combination of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Hypnosis. SFBT is a talking therapy which has grown from research that has shown that although the causes of our problems may have long drawn out complex histories the solutions to them don’t need to be. 

Research shows that by focusing on solutions, strengths and the changes we can make today and in the near future will lead to a happier and healthier life with less symptoms of ill health, as a result we do not focus on the past or the problem in any great detail in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. 

As Solution Focused Hypnotherapists we use hypnosis in order to encourage change, hypnosis can be described as purposefully using the trance state , the trance state is essential to operate normally and an important part of the learning process. 

We all do it, we may drift in and out of the trance state even while reading this explanation, we can drift in and out of the trance state for up to ten times an hour. In hypnosis we experience the trance state for a much longer period of time, hypnosis cannot make you do anything you do not want to do and many clients express how normal they feel during trance. 

While there are different levels of hypnotic trance clients always remain in control and comment on how nice it feels. This trance state is created quite simply by us asking you to imagine certain things and works remarkably well online as it does not include any touch, swinging of a pocket watch or looking into my eyes!

As Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a brain based therapy, understanding how our brain works is a very powerful tool in enabling us to cope and perform better. 

From our very first session you will learn how the brain works in any given situation and what we can do to encourage it to work in a more positive beneficial way, this helps us overcome our issues and difficulties rather than worsen them, some parts of our brain cope better with modern life than others. When the more primitive parts take over we can feel very uncomfortable and feel like we are losing control.

Working together we move towards the positive changes needed to reach your goal.
