We are social animals and need healthy relationships in order to be mentally well. However sometimes, these can feel like a minefield for most people. But there are ways that we can strive to do better. First by learning how to have a positive relationship with yourself. Also creating your own boundaries and having the confidence to enforce them and assert yourself is vital. You'll be surprised how when we are clear on where are boundaries are, in a calm confident manner, others adjust accordingly. We also should always respect the boundaries and needs of others in the same way.
Self-Care is vital. It's important to make time to take care of yourself. Often we feel the temptation to put others needs first. But then we burn out and don't have enough resources to give to others. We need to take care of ourselves to replenish our energy so that we are able to give to others. Self care is not selfish. Taking time to do what you want and need is vital for your wellbeing. Hypnotherapy not only promotes ways for you to engage for in self-care but it also counts as self-care. The trance is relaxing and promotes a sense of wellbeing.
At night we process the events of the day during REM sleep. This helps us to stay mentally healthy and keep our stress bucket empty. But when this process is interrupted, it can lead to a stress bucket that fills up. REM is restricted to 20% of our sleep patters so sometimes it becomes difficult to empty enough of the bucket in the time we do have. And unhelpfully, a full stress bucket makes it even harder to sleep, as a stressed brain does not like to sleep. Thankfully hypnotherapy is a good way to promote relaxation and get sleep patterns back in working order. Plus you will be provided with my MP3 recording which helps you relax every night.
We all have signals in the brain that tell us when to over or under eat. Stress has a lot of impact on this. So hypnosis can help by helping you to achieve relaxation. Set goals for yourself and learn to reinforce your own healthy attitudes towards eating habits. Whilst you are deeply relaxed, behaviour changes that you desire are encouraged. Whilst also working towards improving motivation and self-confidence.
Over time we repeat the same behavioural response to a phobia, thus further reinforcing the danger message in the brain. We then become hardwired to repeat the same pattern of behaviour each time, whilst no amount of logic imposed by anyone seems to help. During hypnotherapy, these messages can be challenged whilst feeling relaxed and not under threat. Thus aiming to reduce the phobic response. The course of treatment depends on the severity or nature of the phobia.
The PTSD brain is alert and vigilant. When we experience a trauma, we should process that trauma during our REM sleep. But we have a full stress bucket already or if the trauma is ongoing for a long time, we can get stuck. We go into survival mode and can't get out. Hypnosis offers a safe space for you to relax. The aim is to improve sleep patterns and set goals for you to get control back of your life. This allows your brain to have the opportunity to process the trauma and work through it.
Often depression and anxiety go together hand in hand. Hypnotherapy can challenge unhelpful beliefs we have about ourselves. Whilst encouraging relaxation, positive messages can be introduced and old messages that do not serve you can be challenged. You set your own goals, that are right for you and slowly you can begin to regain control over your life again.
Whether you suffer from low self-esteem or you just need some extra motivation to be better, hypnotherapy can help you to thrive. Your old belief systems can be challenged and new goals can be set. Allowing you to take control of your life and be the person you want to be. You can implement the behaviour changes that you want to. Be the person you want to be.
