A hypnotherapist is a therapist who works appropriately on your problem and looks for a solution. Each therapist uses his own technique. You will be put in touch with your subconscious to work on your problem. You may have already visited a hypnotherapist, but for many people it is still unclear what exactly they do. What happens when you go to a hypnotherapist?
A professional
When you go to a hypnotherapist, you visit someone who is trained in a specific profession, a professional or of course also a professional with experience. Like any other professional, your therapist has a range of tools that enable him to do the job properly. He has tools to do an intake, put you in a trance, deepen this trance, and then perform the necessary therapy.
What hypnotherapy entails
A hypnotherapist uses hypnosis as a remedy for your complaints. He puts you in a trance where you remain in control. By entering this state, you make contact with your subconscious mind. This way you will gain more insight into your needs and possibilities. This may help solve your problem. Whatever your problem, your hypnotherapist will choose the appropriate tools. When you make your first appointment, tell the therapist what you are coming for. However, a particular technique will probably only be chosen once he has gotten to know you.
Your therapeutic goals
You may want to know why the complaint bothered you or you may know exactly what your complaint is, but you want to get rid of it as quickly as possible. If you wish, your therapist will decide which technique he will use to explore your past, or whether you need to work purposefully towards a healthier future.
Your personal history
This may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but your career, hobbies, likes or dislikes can all provide clues to which technique to use. For example, if you enjoy gardening, your therapist can use metaphors related to that to help dig into your problem and plant seeds for a healthy solution.
Your therapeutic history and preferences
You may have visited a hypnotherapist who used a technique that was particularly effective. If so, tell him because he can use the technique to solve your current problem. If you don’t like or are concerned about a particular technique, tell your therapist so he can avoid it.
Regression therapy
If you are convinced that your current problem is related to something that happened in a past life, your hypnotherapist will consider using regression therapy. Regression means returning to a previous stage, a previous life. This technique can only be applied if you are convinced that it is so, otherwise this technique makes little sense.
Your hypnotherapist’s personal preference
All therapists have a favorite technique to use. The choice of your hypnotherapist could simply be boiled down to the fact that he likes a particular technique, is practiced in its use and knows that it works.
The training of a hypotherapist
Like the majority of psychotherapeutic disciplines, hypnotherapy offers several approaches to study. Your therapist may have been trained in the analytic approach. Uncovering the reasons for the development of a complaint is also part of combating it. It may be that your therapist is very solution-oriented in his direction to work on the complaint, or perhaps he opts for an electrical approach.
The suitable therapist
Ultimately, you want a hypnotherapist who chooses an appropriate technique. You may have a preference for a certain technique, but your therapist suggests a different technique. Your therapist may have a reason for this. Listen to your therapist and then explain why you think this is not the right technique.
