How can hypnotherapy help so many different conditions?

Issues that can be helped by hypnotherapy are all rooted in the fear-based primitive mind, and are linked to anxiety, low mood, irrational fears, and self-limiting beliefs.

At its simplest, hypnotherapy:

  • calms the central nervous system

  • tones the vagus nerve, and

  • helps people change unhelpful beliefs, patterns of thinking, acting and reacting, naturally and relativity quickly

What’s the root of these issues?

Can you tackle many anxiety related issues together?

The answer us invariably… YES.

Poor sleep? Anxiety? Irrational fears? Exam stress? Social anxiety? A trauma you carry?

These issues do not exist in isolation and can be tackled all at the same time with hypnotherapy.

Can every Hypnotherapist help with all the things listed here?

Its likely most trained and accredited hypnotherapists can help you with most of the things listed.

However, you’ll notice that hypnotherapists do specialise and undertake further training or continuous professional development, and may have personal experience which underpins their practice. Childbirth, fertility, trauma and some medical conditions might require more training for example.

Anyone trained and accredited by the AfSFH will be happy to refer you on if they feel you need more specialised help.

Complementary Practices

Hypnotherapy is a complementary health practice that uses the body and mind’s own ability to help you manage, heal or resolve, and even transform many specific issues.

Some issues may be conditions that require medical or psychiatric care. No complementary therapy is a substitute for medical care. If you are under the care of a medical professional, please consult them before working with a hypnotherapist.
