Hypnosis and hypnotherapy for acne
Acne is a common skin condition which can manifest with varying degrees of severity. It affects adults as well as teenagers, and the symptoms are not only physical – sufferers often experience a great deal of psychological and emotional distress, impacting on their confidence and self esteem.
How can you manage / control your acne?
The simple answer is: not very well. You can try topical creams and lotions, but this often leaves the skin prone to redness, stinging or dryness. There are antibiotics, contraceptives and other medications, but whilst these may provide some temporary relief, sufferers often find their acne will return once their prescription has finished. Chances are if you’re reading this then you will have already tried one or more of these methods, and possibly others. Unfortunately, none of these can resolve what caused your acne in the first place, and so controlling your symptoms becomes a constant, tiring battle.
Why, Why, Why?
The most effective way to cure acne completely and permanently, is to resolve what’s causing it; if there is no longer any cause, there can be no effect.
So why do you suffer from acne? You have probably puzzled over this many times before. Looked for reasons, triggers behind it, such as stress from exams, relationships or work. If you're female, it may be exacerbated by your period, pregnancy or polycystic ovaries. Perhaps you feel it's hereditary if your parents have been sufferers too. But knowing this doesn’t make the problem go away. Neither does it explain why others, who undergo similar stresses or hormonal changes, don't suffer acne. So why do you? What's causing YOU to suffer? The subconscious, automatic part of our mind controls every single muscle in our body and every physiological response. It regulates our organs. It's able to fight infection; to heal; to mend a broken bone. So why is it so persistent in maintaining your acne?
Beneath all the triggers lies a single, root cause stored away in the subconscious mind. It’s something you can’t think of. Something small, easily forgotten, easily overlooked. It’s like that bit of grit in your eye. Once you find it, it can be hard to believe that something so small could have caused so much trouble.
It can take years for our problems, conditions and symptoms to get a good hold over us. Something that starts out as a minor irritation gets worse and worse until it causes us so much suffering that we eventually seek help to put it right.
How can you cure acne?
Curative hypnotherapy is distinguished from all other forms of hypnotherapy primarily by its use of logic. The therapist approaches each person without theories or preconceptions – except for one – that the answer to your acne lies only within your subconscious mind. With Curative Hypnotherapy there is no need to suppress or manage your symptoms. By resolving and correcting the true cause, your acne will automatically clear up and fade away, until eventually your problem is nothing but a vague and distant memory.
With curative hypnotherapy you will not be required to relive any traumatic or upsetting situation. All you will feel is pleasantly relaxed.
