Suggestion or Analytical Therapy?

Hypnotic suggestion is the treatment that most people probably expect to receive when considering an appointment with a hypnotherapist. Positively phrased suggestions are offered to your unconscious mind in order to bring about the desired change. As long as these suggestions are accepted by your unconscious, you will respond automatically and enjoy the benefits.

For confidence boosting, or improved relaxation hypnotic suggestions can be invaluable. For studying and exam situations too, suggestions can relieve anxiety, improve concentration and memory recall. Suggestion can also be very effective in treating habits such as nail-biting, smoking and over eating.

Hypno-analysis, on the other hand, works upon the principle of cause and effect. This means that if you have a problem or symptom, it is there as a result of an underlying cause. When this underlying cause is resolved, the symptom becomes redundant and disappears. As long as the underlying cause is completely resolved there is no reason for the problem to return.

Analytical therapy, or hypno-anaylsis, takes place over a period of several weeks, with weekly sessions lasting around one hour. Compared to psycho-analysis, which typically takes around 1000 hours of therapy, hypno-analysis is an extremely fast therapy (usually 8-12 hours).

Both therapies may be used during the course of treatment.
