Phil Smith - Hypnotherapy

Brief introduction

Hypnosis is not "The Answer" to all of your problems. It is a tool, and a part of our natural inbuilt resources to help us deal with issues in our lives. For many people, it certainly can cure, or at least assist, but no guarantees should ever be stated or implied as it does not suit absolutely everyone. Hypnotic trance is established to bypass our conscious filtering processes, and to resynthesise our experiences and skills to into more beneficial applications, via planned clinical methods, and your own new subconscious methods.

Styles vary greatly between different practioners.

• Hidden commands,
• metaphors,
• directive or permissive instruction,
• language patterns,
• rapport methods
• and many other tools and approaches are used.
  
  Ethics relate directly to how and why each is used, and the respect shown to the client's mind.
  
  If you feel intimidated or detect and lack of respect for your mind or well-being, simply walk out.
  
  

  So, what is a hypnotherapist?

  
  We are simply educated negotiators to work between your conscious and subconscious. We take what you want to achieve consciously, and present it to your subconscious, making sure it agrees with what you want, and is safe to do so. We use safeguards to provide only positive effects, which tends to be lacking in Stage Hypnotists and some improperly (hypnosis) trained professionals.
