Why do some people have doubts about hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a much misunderstood phenomenon. For centuries it has been affiliated with spiritualism, witchcraft and various kinds of mumbo jumbo. Its image in the public mind has not been helped by cheap stage and TV hypnotists who delight in having people cluck around like chickens etc. This is a far cry from the kind of hypnosis practiced by a professional, properly trained and qualified hypnotherapist.
In the UK, it is illegal to show the actual hypnotic process on television.
Yet many people form their impression of hypnosis and hypnotherapy based on television programmes. It is important to understand that professional hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis are very different things. Most of the hypnosis you may have seen on TV has been heavily edited -- and therefore greatly distorted. In fact, in all probability, very little you may have viewed on TV has any real connection with professional clinical hypnotherapy.
Aren't all therapies and therapists basically the same?
No. Because of inadequate training and experience, many 'hypnotherapists' simply induce trance and read a 'direct suggestion' hypnosis script at you (we call these practitioners 'scriptnotists'...), perhaps throwing in some visualisation techniques for good measure -- believing that this is all it takes to change. Sometimes, they might combine this with a smattering of NLP or EFT, gleaned from a couple of day's course in a hotel somewhere. Sadly, whatever results they may achieve are usually short lived and temporary. In order for real lasting change to occur, the actual cause needs to be discovered and neutralized. This is exactly what 5 PATH® Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy is designed to achieve. See also How to Choose a good hypnotherapist.
Do I have to fill in forms?
All clients of PETER FIELD HYPNOTHERAPY are required to complete a short questionnaire requesting disclosure of certain medical information before undertaking hypnotherapy. (This is a brief and simple procedure.)
Whilst hypnotherapy is very safe, if you are epileptic, undergoing psychiatric treatment, or have been diagnosed with clinical depression then we need a referral from your doctor confirming that there are no medical reasons why you may not enter into hypnotherapy. A doctor's referral is also required when working with medical conditions. In order to facilitate this, we simply fax or send the appropriate referral form to your doctor. There is no charge for this service.
(Please be aware that therapy depends on the individual's ability to connect with feelings. In certain cases, prescription medication and other drugs might flatten or affect feelings to such a degree that therapy may not be possible at this time. Should this be the case, the therapist will explain this to you within the first couple of sessions and therapy will be deferred or discontinued.)
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
In most cases, somewhere between 2 and 6 sessions are all that's required, but this does depend on the individual and the issue being treated. Simple phobias , for example, most often respond to a minimum of sessions, while more complex, long-standing and multi-faceted issues (e.g. depression that has lasted for years) obviously require longer. In your initial consultation, Peter will assess your situation and give you a realistic appraisal of the number of sessions you may require.
