At the initial consultation it will have been agreed which therapy to use. This can always be changed later if the client wishes.
The choices are:-
Hypnotherapy
In session one the client is helped into hypnosis. A CD of the visualisation used to achieve this is given to the client. Their "homework" is to listen to the CD at least once a day for a week. This helps them to achieve almost instant hypnosis so that the therapy can begin.
In the second and subsequent sessions (usually a week apart), the client is helped into almost instant hypnosis. Now, using the most advanced techniques, the task of finding the root cause of the problem can begin. The methods used to do this will very much be dictated by what the client says during the session.............in other words we go where the client's subconscious mind takes us.
All sessions are carried out in my consulting room.
Reverse Speech Therapy
In session one a 30 minute recording is made talking about the presenting problem. In session two, a week later, the results of the analysis of this recording (reversals) are played back to the client. The client is then left for a further week. This time allows the unconscious mind to uncover more information. On session 3 a further recording is made, but this time questions are asked on how to put right the disfuntional metaphors discovered in the first recording. In sessions 4 and 5 (each a week apart), the client is helped into a very deep hypnosis and taken through a "METAWALK" or guided visualisation, to meet the disfunctional metaphors and carry out the instructions as given in recording two, as to how to heal or dispose of them. Session 6 for a further recording takes place 4 - 8 weeks later. The client can choose the time span. This recording is for confimation that all of the work has been successful. A week later in session 7, the reversals are played back to the client and they are given a final metawalk.
All sessions can be conducted in my consulting room or on the telephone.
Reverse Speech & Hypnotherapy Combination
Session one is a 30 minute recording talking about the presenting problem. In the session 2 the client is played the reversals found. In session 3 and any subsequent sessions the client is helped into deep hypnosis and taken to meet the disfunctional metaphors from the recording. The client is then asked how they wish to dispose of or heal the individual metaphors. They then carry out their own instructions. Some 4 - 8 weeks later the client chooses whether to have another recording or to have an hypnosis session to confirm whether the work has been successful.
With the exception of sessions 1 & 2, which can take place on the telephone, all other sessions are in my consulting room.
