know more about THERAPY ^^

Hypnotherapy

= Hypnotherapy, or 'neuro-hypnotism' meaning sleep of the nervous system, uses hypnosis to induce a deep state of heightened relaxation and altered awareness, during which the unconscious mind is highly receptive to new or alternative perspectives and ideas.

= In the field of hypnotherapy the unconscious mind is looked upon as a resource for wellness and creativity. Accessing this part of the mind through hypnosis opens up possibilities for the maintenance of the body towards health via the autonomic processes.

= Hypnotherapy can be applied to modify a client's behaviour, attitudes and emotions, as well as manage pain, anxiety, stress-related illnesses and dysfunctional habits, promoting personal development.


Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)

= Neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, is a means of interpersonal communication offering an alternative model to psychotherapy. Co-created by Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder in the 1970s, it is often referred to as 'the psychology of excellence'.

= In NLP the world is perceived in terms of excellence where individuals can be supported in creating their own choice and flexibility. The theories of NLP have been based on the subjective study of language, communication and personal change, drawing upon the work of Gestalt, family systems therapy and clinical hypnosis.

= NLP incorporates a set of techniques and strategies to enhance communication and personal experience. The core of NLP is the process of replicating excellence, understanding how individuals organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce results. The theory is broken down into three layers:

  • Neuro: the establishment of our individual mental map of the world
  • Linguistic: how we each assign personal meaning to the information
  • Programming: Our behavioural response to the latter.

= NLP techniques are often utilised to instigate change and enhance personal growth, development and performance in groups and organisations, and with individuals. NLP techniques are not always suitable in addressing complex psychological difficulties or distress.
