What is Curative Hypnotherapy?
The only way to cure a problem is to find and then correct the cause
HYPNOSIS is simply a natural state of relaxation that we all experience during daydreaming, falling asleep, reading a really good book, and 'automatic' driving when we suddenly realise that we haven't been aware of driving for the last ten minutes or so. During this state our conscious mind (the analytical, decision making part) relaxes, thereby allowing us to access the subconscious mind (our automatic part which controls our emotions, urges, imagination, experiences, memories and even our central nervous system).
However, no one can ever enter this state against their will and no therapist can induce or maintain this state without constant co-operation and permission from the client. Although the conscious mind is relaxed, it is not asleep. It can jump in and interfere whenever you decide or feel it is necessary, because you are always consciously aware of what is going on.
For example, when you are drifting off to sleep and therefore in a state of hypnosis, you may hear the telephone ring but your conscious mind is likely to decide it is not important so you will remain relaxed. However, if a fire alarm were to sound then you would probably jump to your feet and respond. You always have control of your mind and do not need to be 'brought out' of hypnosis.
HYPNOTHERAPY is the therapeutic use of hypnosis. A hypnotherapist can induce this natural state to treat symptoms and problems, and this is often done by providing suggestions to the subconscious to suppress or change the symptom. However, this method can only provide a temporary solution, whereas Lesserian™ Curative Hypnotherapy can offer a permanent cure.
The reason for this is quite simple: consider for a moment the pain of a headache. A simple solution is to take a painkiller to relieve the pain. But if the headache returns then the pills are only working temporarily and you can begin to question what is causing it. In the worst case a brain scan may be needed to identify the cause and maybe surgery is then needed to remove, for example, a tumour. The lesson here is that the painkiller merely suppresses the pain but it does not resolve what causes the headache.
Many hypnotherapists work in the same way as the pills in the above example. They suppress the symptom but do nothing to find out what caused it; thus the problem can return or, in certain cases, even worse symptoms may develop as a replacement.
CURATIVE HYPNOTHERAPY is significantly different to other forms of hypnotherapy; by finding the root cause and resolving it, a permanent cure can be effected without the need for future back-up sessions. Curative Hypnotherapy, as its name implies, cures the problem. Using hypnosis the therapist identifies where the misinformation or misinterpretation lies in the subconscious, and then reinterprets the information in a logical way. Once the cause has been corrected, there is no need to treat the symptoms at all, as the subconscious will automatically correct the reactions and therefore dispose of the problem completely and permanently.
During this form of treatment you will NOT be required to relive any traumatic event or experience any emotions. All you will feel is beautifully relaxed.
