Hypnotherapy Q&As
Does hypnotherapy actually work?
Hypnotherapy is built for the job that willpower and logic struggle with: changing an automatic response, not just understanding it.
Talking about it versus changing it
Most of what people bring to Tim is learned: a fear picked up in one vivid moment, a habit repeated until it runs by itself, an alarm that went off once and never reset. Knowing better rarely switches these off, because they fire before conscious thought gets a say.
In hypnosis the busy, critical commentary quietens and the part of the mind that runs habits and reactions becomes easier to work with. That's where the change happens.
How Tim makes it work for you
There's no script. Tim chooses from Ericksonian hypnotherapy, NLP, coaching and mindfulness to suit you, and rather than just removing a reaction, you rehearse a calmer, more helpful one in its place. Many clients notice progress after each appointment.
Hypnotherapy is a short course of sessions, not open-ended therapy, and you leave with self-hypnosis to keep using for the rest of your life.
