Hypnotherapy with Peter McCartin

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness which allows access to the subconscious mind.
The best way to view hypnosis is a state of intense relaxation and concentration in which your mind becomes remote and detached from every day cares and concerns.In this relaxed state the subconscious part of the mind is best able to respond creatively to suggestion and imagery.It can focus on the things you wish to change and on the ways you can best do that free from Anxiety or analytical thoughts.

Everyone has experienced trance there are many natural states of trance daydreaming is a light trance state.We tend to go into daydream every one and half to two hours throughout the day,Although we may not be consciously aware of it because it is so natural.When you are familiar with driving a specific route in the car,You can often arrive at your destination with very little conscious memory of the journey this is a natural trance.
Intresting phenomenia of hypnosis is time distortion.You can often be pleasantly surprised by how much time has passed when you are in the state of mind.This is because our perception of time can distort in trance.In fact a person can be put into a trance and have the experienced of reading a whole book within minutes.In real time this would be impossible using standard reading techniques .
You may notice some slight muscle spasm or rapid eye movement.This is perfectly normal during hypnosis.You are in control at all times and you can terminate the session immediately should you wish to do so.

THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY
Dr Rodger Callahan invented the techniqueof Thought Field Therapy,Tft,during the 1980,s Dr Callahan claims that"TFT is a therapeutic process that can accesses and resolves the essence and the root cause of any problem-such as a phobia,anxiety,anger,habits anger or grief. The key to TFT is in influencing the body,s bioenergy field by tapping with your fingers on specific points in the body located along the meridians."
TFT uses a proces of patterning or algorithms,which include tapping particular points of the body,located along the energy meridians. Each algorithim is designed to treat a particular type of psychological distress. The process also involves the client/patient thinking about their emotional problem at the same time as carrying out the TFT process.

Every TFT treatment begins in the same way -the client is asked to intentionally think about the emotional distress or problem they wish to resolve-be it anxiety,phobia,fear or trauma etc.

Once the client has tuned into the distress emotion they are asked to rate it on a scale. The SUDS scale that we use when treating phobia is the mostuseful-with the most distress felt being rated at 10 and the least distress at 1. The therapist records the SUDS score before commencing treatment.
