About Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
CBH is a practical solutions-focused therapy which seeks to understand the Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviour that might arise in certain triggering situations. In the imaginal state of hypnosis where we are able to access the more creative right brain thinking, we can powerfully explore different beliefs, different feeling states and different behaviours. The freedom that comes from realising “Other options are available” leads to more creative, compassionate and connected ways of responding to the challenges of family life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cognitive Behvioural therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural therapy helps people to explore how they are thinking, feeling and behaving about a situation. It takes current trigger events and uses them as a lens to heal and grow. For example if we take a farming metaphor; in previous decades it was considered vital to dig deep in the soil if you wanted to grow food, but nowadays the “no drill” method is considered much better to maintain the structure of the soil. I think that is a helpful way to consider therapy too, for some things the no drill method is perfect! That being said, occasionally we have to dig deep to plant a tree and make sure it’s properly supported but that is only ever done in collaboration and with the permission of the client.
