Suggestion Therapy is good "old fashioned" hypnotherapy. It can best be described as a "helping hand" therapy. Sometimes, we are generally healthy, well rounded individuals who find ourselves having difficulty with one issue. A recent survey showed the general publics' top ten fears as follows: 1) Public speaking 2) Heights 3) Snakes 4) Spiders 5) Needles 6) Enclosed spaces 7) Flying 8) Open spaces 9) Failure 10) Pain Of all fears....public speaking is the number one fear people have. With failure also listing in the top ten, we can see that the fear of humiliation is paramount in the minds of most people and the pressure to perform and succeed is not far behind! When we are afraid of
something we will necessarily see the worst in it. If we have exam
nerves, we will see that exam in our minds many times before we sit
down to take it, probably negatively! By the time we actually sit
the exam we are exhausted! Because you have been negatively
rehearsing the event you will probably be convinced that you'll fail
too. Life has a way of fulfilling the prophecies we create!
Suggestion therapy takes advantage of the highly suggestible state
afforded by hypnosis to create a new and constructive positive
picture of a future situation. This positive image actually paves
the way for success, because the subconscious mind will naturally
move towards supporting whatever image it has in mind. It is about
re-educating our subconscious minds to behave in the way that is
appropriate for us NOW. Many of the templates we operate from will
have been laid down when we were children. Perhaps we were
humiliated as children in school and we now have a fear of public
speaking as a result? If we need to give public presentations
to obtain a promotion at work, this clearly is an inappropriate
response to our current situation. These templates can be broad and
can impact in all sorts of ways on our present day lives. Suggestion
therapy usually takes care of these templates with great ease using
highly effective re-framing methods to delete the negative templates
and replace them with far more successful images and ego structures.
Treatment using suggestion therapy is usually brief. One to three
sessions is normal, providing that the condition is not aggravated
by otherwise high stress/anxiety levels. Some of the most commonly
treated conditions with suggestion therapy include.....blushing,
nail biting, public speaking, performance, self-confidence, exam
fears, driving nerves, unwanted habits, poor concentration,
goal achievement, performance enhancement, and anti-smoking.
Anti-Smoking Therapy is single session therapy. It takes 2 hours and
costs £110.
