Hypnotherapy and counseling A lot of folks who come to me want to be able to talk about their problems with me, and they also want to get them resolved as soon as possible. When counselling and hypnosis are combined, I believe they may provide a very potent combination. We know from research that people who go through psychotherapy tend to make changes in their thinking patterns and their behaviors. These changes can continue even after the therapy is over, which is why it's important to find a therapist who can work with you over a period of time. The aim of counseling is to help individuals deal with their issues effectively. While therapeutic counseling focuses on understanding and addressing emotional pain, building resilience and growing toward self-actualization, counseling and hypnosis can supplement each other's benefits. In addition to pain relief, hypnosis can also help clients: Manage anxiety or stress Improve social skills or communication abilities Change addictive or harmful behaviors Counseling and hypnosis can also help people deal with traumatic experiences such as abuse, neglect, or violence against women. Hypnosis can be an effective tool for treating trauma because of its powerful ability to create new memories that replace old ones with healthier versions of events. This allows people to change how they feel about something that has been hurting them for years.
