Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, fears and phobias? Do you find yourself with a lot of worries, lack of confidence or depression? Then Hypnotherapy could be the perfect medical treatment to soothe your symptoms and support you in eradicating your illness.
Since the Victorian times Hypnotherapy has been a medical treatment for varying illnesses. Initially the Victorians used Hypnotherapy as a means to treat an illness they called “Hysteriaâ€. Over time however the use of Hypnosis as a therapy treatment has changed and is currently used in many anxiety disorders.
Hypnosis was defined by James Braid in the 1800’s after he studied Franz Mesmer and devised his own techniques, today called Hypnosis.
The idea of Hypnosis was to relax the mind but it soon took off across the world and many instantly saw a correlation between Hypnosis and its possible use in medical treatment.
The first medical treatment using Hypnosis was for hysteria.
Over the next one hundred years many different medical uses were found for Hypnosis and the British Medical Council started reviewing the technique as a valid medical treatment. Upon being validated, the name of the treatment became Hypnotherapy and was seen as a means to support the treatment of patients needing Psychotherapy.
Hypnotherapy has been found to be the perfect treatment for supporting illnesses such as Stress, Anxiety, Fears, Phobia, Worries, Confidence issues and Depression. The reasons for these seem to lie in the fact that patients are put into a relaxed state by the treatment and allow time for the body to truly relax. This is something that many with the mentioned illnesses find hard to achieve.
Anxiety and stress disorders are those that sit in the Psychological family of illnesses and while physically a patient will not look out of character they are debilitating for those affected. Anxiety, depression and stress can cause patients to become withdrawn and in many circumstances stop functioning in their normal lifestyle. It has been known for many sufferers to stop leaving their home, thus giving up work and friendships because of the pain and trauma associated with the illnesses.
While many people with anxiety and stress disorders suffer in silence, or simply take the medication given to them by their General Practitioner such as Citalopram, there is an alternative. This alternative is one that does not require medication and simply means taking time every week to visit a qualified Hypnotherapist. The Hypnotherapist will take the patient through the Hypnosis induction process and carry out therapy through the power of Hypnosis.
Anyone who is a sufferer with anxiety and stress related issues like the ones mentioned and has not been fortunate enough to find Hypnotherapy should speak to their Doctor. If you do not wish to speak to your Doctor, then why not find a local Hypnotherapist who will be more than happy to talk through the process and discuss on how it could help you.
Like Doctors, all Hypnotherapists need to be qualified in their field and also be registered to practise. This means you can be sure that any Hypnotherapist who has had their training and is registered to practise will be able to support you with your needs.
If you suffer with any of the illnesses and disorders mentioned, then why not take the opportunity and speak to your medical professional to find out if you are a good candidate for Hypnotherapy. You never know you could find that you are perfect for this brilliant and supportive therapy measure and that a Hypnotherapist could improve or even eradicate your problems.
