Hypnotherapy with Stephanie Gardiner

Hypnosis ....is a powerful means of making changes in your life, so you can reach your full potential. When you are under hypnosis the subconscious mind can be accessed and dynamic changes can be brought about quickly and easily.

The subconscious mind contains all of your wisdom, memories, belief systems, childhood and life conditionings and intelligence. Hypnosis is easily applied, easily learned and is extremely relaxing. It is a natural state and is 100% safe.

What is hypnotherapy? - Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to effect positive changes in your health, way of thinking, behaving and general wellbeing.

What is hypnosis? - hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation similar to meditation except the subconscious mind is very alert. When a person is under hypnosis, their conscious mind relaxes and is by-passed, their subconscious mind can then be accessed.

The conscious mind is critical and analytical and sorts information by noticing differences, where-as the subconscious mind readily accepts suggestions and acts upon them.

The subconscious mind contains all of your wisdom, memories, belief systems, childhood and life conditionings and intelligence. It regulates body maintenance, and autonomic processes like breathing, blood circulation and tissue regeneration. It is the seat of your emotions and directs nearly all of your behaviour.

By using hypnotherapy to access the subconscious mind we are able to change unwanted behaviours, reprogram old beliefs, change negative thinking to positive thinking and access buried memories so that a process of therapy can be worked through to resolve emotional issues.

Will I be in control? - One of the most common misconceptions is that people fear that they will be out of control when they are under hypnosis, but in fact the client is in control at all times and can come out of hypnosis at any time should they choose to. The hypnotherapist merely guides the client to where they want to be, so that they can live life to their full potential.

Is it safe? - Hypnosis is 100% safe - you are aware, in control and can terminate the session at any time should you choose to.

Hypnosis is used all over the world in medical health practices such as dentistry, childbirth, surgery and pain management, to name but a few.

What does it feel like to be under hypnosis? - When a person is under hypnosis, it feels like a wonderfully deep relaxation, except that the subconscious mind is very alert. The person may feel heavy or light, as though they were floating etc. Whatever the sensations experienced by the person they are always wonderfully relaxing and therapeutic.

Will I be able to go into hypnosis? - Hypnosis is a very natural state that everybody goes into at least twice a day. On waking, and going off to sleep we go through the alpha state, which is the state of hypnosis. All a client needs to do to enter hypnosis is to allow themself to relax and follow the hypnotherapists instructions.

HypnoBirthing

HypnoBirthing is based on the teachings of the English Physician Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, a pioneer in the field of natural childbirth. HypnoBirthing was established in the United States by Marie Mongan and her book HypnoBirthing - The Mongan Method was first published in 1989. HypnoBirthing teaches parents how to experience a calm, relaxed, natural birth.

The HypnoBirthing® Advantage -

• Eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain syndrome before, during and after birth.
• Eliminates or greatly reduces the need for chemical pain killers.
• Shortens the first stage of labour by several hours.
• Eliminates fatigue during labour leaving mother, fresh, awake, and with energy for actual birthing.
• Promotes special bonding of mother, baby and birthing companion.
• Fosters more rapid post natal recovery.
• Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion.
• Returns birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended it to be.

Classes are generally run over five weeks. They are small (between 2-4 couples), relaxed and informal. It is essential that the birthing companion attends all classes also. As part of the course couples receive a copy of the HypnoBirthing book, relaxation cd's and lots of handouts. Private sessions can also be arranged.
