How can hypnotherapy help
Probably more time is spent in most hypnotherapy practices with the three S's - slimming, smoking and stress. However, hypnosis is used to treat a very wide range of somatic, psychological and medical problems. Below are listed, under five broad classes, problems for which hypnosis may be best placed to help. This is by no means a complete list, so please use the 'Contact' page, or telephone 01978 769178, to find out if Delwyn Hypnosis is well placed to help you. All information is of course treated strictly confidentially.
David Collingwood-Bell is a certified specialist in the treatment of tinnitus. Yes - for many people with this debilitating condition there is a cure, if not silence then near silence, or a significant turning down of the volume of the noise, together with a reduction in the level of emotional distress that accompanies it.
Delwyn Hypnosis also practices Hypnosis for Childbirth and David Collingwood Bell is a HypnoBirthing(R) Practitioner, Certified by the HypnoBirthing Institute. In this programme 'mums to be' and their birthing partners are taught techniques which lead to birthing taking place in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, free from the fear and tension that cause pain. Severe discomfort does not need to accompany labour and birthing.
Thoughts and Ideas
Thoughts of low self-esteem; obsessive thoughts about someone or something; , i.e. not being able to get out of one's mind that one is suffering from an illness, despite a doctor's reassurance, or that a partner is unfaithful; anxieties about coming events like public speaking, or dental appointments or surgical procedures; improving performance in a sport, academically or in relationships.Hypnotherapy can assist clients to change such thoughts for the better.
Fears
Many people experience irrational fears, for example, of insects, spiders, snakes, flying and all kinds of objects or situations. Hypnotherapy is particularly renowned for its effectiveness in assisting sufferers to overcome such distressing and inhibiting conditions.
Feelings
People can suffer from a wide range of distressing feelings such as panic attacks, anxiety, jealousy, guilt, anger, inadequacy and lack of confidence. Whatever the problem feeling, hypnotherapy can deal with it more specifically than can a drug - and without harmful side effects.
Habits
People can find themselves in the grip of one of a variety of habits, which they seem unable to control, from something like nail-biting, smoking or overeating to more deep seated compulsions. Using hypnotic techniques, hypnotherapy can help to remove habits with precision and with a total freedom from side effects.
Medical Conditions
These are the conditions which responsible hypnotherapy practices, like Delwyn Hypnosis, only treat with the knowledge of, and maybe on referral from, a medical or dental practitioner. Hypnotherapy is increasingly used to enhance medical treatments and speed up the healing process, especially after surgery. Hypnosis may also be most helpful in assisting patients to become more relaxed and calm before medical or dental procedures, and may also assist in the control and management of pain. Hypnosis can also be used to significantly reduce anxiety and discomfort during childbirth. Examples of conditions for which hypnotherapy has been found to be useful in some cases are irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, sexual dysfunction, tinnitus, some dermatological disorders and vascular control
