Earlier this week following a hypnotherapy session one of my clients said to me “More people ought to give this a try!” My response was “If only they would!”
Many people fear hypnosis thinking that they might lose control or lose consciousness. Sadly many people have misconceptions about hypnosis, often confusing therapeutic hypnosis with stage hypnosis. The fact is that inducing hypnosis is not something that can be “done” to someone else. As a therapist I play my part in helping the client to use his or her own ability to enter into a state of trance and this can only be done with the co-operation of the client. I am not able to influence the client without the client’s consent. The state of trance is quite ordinary in many ways. We enter into that state in doing our everyday activities without even being consciously aware that we are doing that. When our attention becomes focused in a very narrow way to the extent that we “zone out” everything else that is going on around us, then we have entered into trance. Imagine when you are so engrossed in reading a book or watching a television programme that you just do not notice when someone has started to talk to you. By inducing a state of hypnosis I am able to help your subconscious mind take over from your conscious mind. In this way I enable you to allow a perception of events into your subconscious in a manner that has been altered to suit your particular needs e.g. to overcome a fear or a phobia. The combination of hypnosis with the solution focused therapeutic approach enables me to support the client by utilising his or her inner subconscious resources. By accessing these resources I am able to influence the client (with the client’s consent) through suggestion in different ways which would be beneficial and positive. For instance, I may use direct or indirect suggestion or I may use guided imagery to help the client make desired changes for positive outcomes. One thing all of my clients express following a session of hypnotherapy with me is a statement of how lovely and relaxing they find the treatment. Often I observe my clients slowly and reluctantly disembark from my treatment table. It was at that stage the other day when my client exclaimed, ““More people ought to give this a try!” The question is, “Would you?” © Tracy Daniels and rainbowhypnotherapy.co.uk, 2016 – 2017.

And why I love neuroscience.
I love my work! I consider myself very fortunate that I am able to do a job that brings me immense job satisfaction. Throughout my entire, somewhat lengthy career, I have always worked in the caring professions. Working with people comes naturally to me and what motivates me is making a difference to people’s lives. Working as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist suits my personality in many ways. I have a practical mind and a positive, problem solving approach to just about everything! Like many of my clients I have encountered some very difficult and challenging life experiences. I think it is because my life has not been easy that I am able to empathise with my clients and show them the compassion and understanding that they need. It means so much to have someone to talk to who truly understands what you are going through; someone who won’t judge you in any way and who is open-minded. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is partly informed by recent developments in neuroscience, which is the study of how the brain works. I have studied neuroscience as part of my hypnotherapy training and in much greater depth as part of my professional mindfulness practitioner training. It certainly helps me to have this firm grounding in neuroscience which enables me to impart knowledge and understanding to my clients. As you learn more and more from me about how your brain works in relation to what is going on in your life and the problems or challenges that you are encountering, you will gain a greater insight into yourself as a human being. Understanding of oneself and insight into one’s own behaviour can be tremendously empowering. That’s what I seek to do; to empower you, to help you feel that you are in control of your life, your behaviour and how you think about your situation. Regaining control of one’s life is a wonderful feeling and that is the change that I am able to help you with. That’s what makes my work so wonderfully rewarding. When a client completes their treatment and leaves my clinic feeling ready to face the world again, able to smile again, confident and self-assured then I absolutely know that this is a job worth doing! © Tracy Daniels and rainbowhypnotherapy.co.uk, 2016 – 2017.
