How can Hypnotherapy help you?
Your mind is an amazing powerhouse. It keeps your system running day and night with not much effort from you to remind it. However, it can go a little wonky with thoughts, fears, pain etc. Our minds are overprotective and sometimes it cannot tell the difference between a real threat and a non threat so it puts us in fight or flight mode. That's probably for safe keeping. However, if it happens too often then it can interfere with day to day life.
We are born with a relatively clean slate. As we go through life we pick up on what is a threat and what isn't. Either by our own experience or from the reaction of our caregivers. For instance, if you have a phobia of spiders you might not even know where this came from. It might not have come from you but you were told as a child that spiders are dangerous. Your mind remembers this and stores it away in a folder called "threats". Next time you see a spider your mind opens the "threat" folder and scans it for anything that matches spiders and if it finds a match then it runs the "program" called "be scared of spiders".
This is where Hypnotherapy comes in. Your mind is amazing. It's never to late to learn new things. So with Hypnotherapy we can update the folder "be scared of spiders" to something like "aren't spiders funny". I'm generalising here because everyone's experience is different but hopefully you get the idea. So next time you see a spider your mind runs the "aren't spiders funny" program instead of the "be scared of spiders" program.
