Stress & Anxiety
Have you ever tried meditation and couldn’t shut your mind off and zen out? Maybe it felt too open-ended? Too squishy? Hypnotherapy takes the reflectiveness of meditation but gives it a defined target. “Hypnosis is a state of narrowed consciousness, and hypnotherapy is using that consciousness toward a goal,” says Andrea Bradford, an assistant professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who practices hypnotherapy on some of her patients.
The client, however, is always in the driver’s seat. Jessica Yatrofsky, a 38-year-old artist, has successfully used hypnotherapy for her anxiety and compares the practice to a mental yoga class. “A lot of things are being activated and lit up in really cool ways — ways that you don’t typically use your brain,” she says, adding that she felt relief and “lighter” after her first session.
From debilitating phobia to calm acceptance
A woman came to Hypnotherapy Malta - Alan Bates with an acute case of cockroach phobia. The phobia was significantly impacting her life, preventing her from enjoying outdoor activities, particularly during the summer months. After a single session with Alan, she was able to see a cockroach without experiencing the overwhelming fear and panic that had previously controlled her life. This breakthrough illustrates the transformative potential of hypnotherapy in addressing and overcoming phobias.
