ADVANCED
HYPNOTHERAPY
An increasing number of people are coming to hypnotherapy
because they want something that is positive, constructive
and specific. They may be happy with most aspects of their
life, but want help mastering one thing. Just some areas
covered are:

WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis. It is
completely natural and safe, with no harmful side effects. It
is nothing like stage hypnosis, and you remain aware and in
control!
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
In simple terms, hypnosis describes a state in which someone’s
body becomes completely relaxed, which their mind is calm,
concentrated and aware – rather like being totally absorbed in
an exciting movie. We all go into these natural trance states
every day – daydreaming, forgetting chunks of a car journey or
getting wrapped up in a book. A hypnotherapist’s voice and
visualisations can gently guide you into this wonderful
relaxation, which often produces a tremendous sense of
well-being.
 HOW DOES IT WORK?
In hypnosis, the mind is more receptive to positive
suggestions and it is possible to access the area of the mind
beyond the normal level of conscious awareness – the
subconscious or inner mind. Our mind works on two levels. We
make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind, while
our subconscious is the automatic facility of the mind;
controlling our habits, behaviour patterns and containing all
our memories. In hypnosis, we can communicate directly with
the subconscious.
COPE WITH THE
PRESSURES OF MODERN LIFE
ADVANCED HYPNOTHERAPY allows you to make positive changes in
your life. Working as a partnership, the therapist can work
with you and your sub-conscious to get rid of unwanted habits
or problems. It can help provide the motivation you need or
allow you to return to a memory that, although long forgotten,
may be causing you to behave in a certain way. The issue can
be resolved, you can release negative emotions, heal any hurt
and move on.
Unlike suggestion only hypnotherapy, 4Change has a tool kit
full of therapeutic techniques which can be used - which are
always explained to clients - visualisation, regression,
Gestalt, parts therapy, NLP, positive thinking to name a few –
oh, and a sense of humour!
CAN EVERYONE BE HYPNOTISED – HOW DOES IT FEEL – AM I IN
CONTROL?
Anyone of normal IQ with no severe mental problems can be
hypnotised if they wish. There are no special “feelings” as
such – you are not asleep - you just experience a wonderful
feeling of relaxation. You certainly remain in control and
are aware of what is happening or said. If a fire alarm went
off, for instance, you would come out of hypnosis immediately
for self-protection, and you cannot be made to do anything
against your will.
SELF HYPNOSIS
The benefits of
daily relaxation are enormous for your mental and physical
well-being. All clients are taught self-hypnosis so that they
can get themselves into a calm, resourceful state whenever
they need to. One bank manager client swears by it, and often
takes a quick ‘power nap’ at work to aid his performance.
HOW MANY SESSIONS
DO I NEED?
Advanced hypnotherapy is a brief form of therapy which gives
powerful results. It’s important to stress that most issues
need a COURSE of therapy over about 3-5 sessions. If you have
been troubled with an issue for years, you cannot expect a
therapist to work a one-hour miracle cure! Therapy is brief –
but not that brief.
Normally, sessions are about a week apart, with the first two
sessions lasting approx. 1 ½ hours, and subsequent sessions at
about 1 hour. Clients are given tailor-made tapes to listen to
daily between sessions. This forms an important part of the
treatment, so commitment is key.
If a client is committed to stopping smoking, they can choose
a 2 – 2 ½ hour intensive session, or attend three weekly
sessions. The latter may be preferable if the client has many
emotional issues or certain physical conditions.
PUTTING YOU IN CONTROL
In addition to hypnotherapy, 4Change believes in giving
clients a variety of tips and techniques and ‘thinking’ skills
to allow them to take charge of their emotions. These are
simple but very powerful tools for your ‘tool box’ which can
make all the difference.
COMMITMENT
Hypnosis is not magic - the client is an active part of the
process. It goes without saying that the client needs to
follow simple instructions where given to obtain the results
they want. Any tapes and literature provided also form an
important part of the therapy – so commitment is key. 4Change
will give you a variety of ‘tools’ to help you take control
and obtain your goals. These can help with every aspect of
your life. You will need to use those ‘tools’ to get the best
results.
Sometimes telephone enquiries ask about my success rate. That
depends upon the client! I am 100% committed to their success
– they must also play their part by having the motivation to
change, following any tips given and listening to any tapes
provided. You get a course of therapy and you get homework –
if you expect someone to click their fingers and make you well
in minutes you need a magician!

PLEASE NOTE
The effects of therapy may differ for different patients, and
no therapy offers a 100% guarantee of a cure. All clients are
required to complete a questionnaire form before hypnotherapy,
in which you are asked to disclose certain medical
information. Whilst advanced hypnotherapy is very safe, if
you are epileptic, or undergoing psychiatric treatment, you
should obtain a letter from a medical practitioner to confirm
that you may have this treatment.
