What often stops us from reaching our full potential and achieving the life we want are the negative beliefs operating below our level of awareness. These unconscious patterns play out in day-to-day life, influencing how we think, feel and behave, stopping us from achieving our goals and living the life we want.

If you see yourself repeating the same old patterns despite every effort to change them then hypnotherapy can be extremely powerful at tapping into those unconscious blockers stopping you from moving forward. Through hypnosis we can addresses negative beliefs operating in the unconscious part of our mind, by bringing them to our conscious awareness we can take control. This is when you can take purposeful action to overcome self imposed limitations and go on to live a happier and more fulfilled life where you are in control.

Hypnosis works to accelerate the change process so you can expect to see results quickly. In identifying the underlying issue, we can use hypnotherapy within the cognitive behavioural therapy framework to affect the desired changes.

Many clients are amazed at how quickly they can overcome issues that have held them back for so long. They are able to face the future feeling positive, empowered and in control of their lives.

What is hypnotherapy and how does it work

Hypnotherapy is simply the therapeutic process which utilises the state of mind achieved when someone has entered hypnosis. At Empowered You Hypnotherapy, this is blended with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to deliver a seamless framework integrating social, cognitive and behavioural psychology and psychotherapy to deliver a modern approach to hypnosis.

When it comes to hypnosis itself, no one actually knows quite how it works, only that it does. There are two commonly accepted theories for it; the state and non state model. The state model positions hypnosis as going into a special trance like state. In contrast, the state model says that hypnosis is just a normal everyday psychological process, like when you are totally engrossed in a book or film.

Lets take watching a film as an example, as we get totally engrossed in the story, this can evoke some strong emotions within us, we suspend belief as we get lost in the story. This is similar to what happens in hypnosis, it creates a state of inner focus, concentration and deep relaxation, result in increased suggestibility. This is where the real change happens, through the powerful suggestions given during hypnosis, this works to alter old beliefs and cultivating feelings such as confidence, resilience, motivation and strength which is then harnessed to effect the desired change. This powerful combination is incredibly effective at creating positive change and helping you achieve your goals.
