Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not sleep,
the client is completely aware of their surroundings
although they may choose to ignore them. The therapist
may ask the client to ignore things or to concentrate
their attention on one idea, thought or feeling, but
ultimately it is the client who makes the choices.
Hypnosis is an induced state of physical and mental
relaxation and concentration in which the normally inaccessible,
subconcious part of the mind becomes more readily accessible.
The Hypnotherapists role being to act as a guide, both
in leading the hypnotic induction and in enabling the
most effective use to be made of the hypnotic state
to bring about the required changes.
David will use his voice to induce the state of Hypnosis
and although you are unlikely to feel ‘hypnotised’ as such, you will probably experience a
feeling of mental and physical relaxation and your memory may well be enhanced. You will
find David to be a professional person totally devoid of any mystical or
magical powers, no flowing robes or swinging watches– just a reassuring manner to put you
at ease, and the expertise to help you with your problem.

The International Association of Hypno-Analysts is dedicated to the
professional and ethical use of Hypnosis allied to the practice of Psycho-Analysis
for the treatment of nervous disorders and emotional problems. The Association is a
non profit making organisation whose Members have followed a course of training in
Psychotherapy, analysis and Hypnosis which enables them to specialise in
"Hypno-Analytical Therapy".
Members of the Association are bound by a Code of Practice and Ethics of
the highest order: they have satisfied an Examination Board of their knowledge and
level of competence and have undertaken to abide by the Rules of the Association which
requires that they are covered by Professional indemnity Insurance and such Certificate
of Insurance must be available for inspection. Members have also agreed to discharge
each and every client from treatment at the earliest possible moment consistent with
that clients good care. Every Member undertakes to respect the clients confidentiality
at all times and would not even disclose to a spouse or parent that they were
undergoing treatment. All Members of the Association have undertaken that any hypnotic
(or post hypnotic) suggestion given to any client will be so worded that the effect can
only be beneficial to the client. They have a clear understanding of
"Symptom Substitution" which without being too technical means the
possibility of switching say from Agoraphobia to Claustrophobia and in consequence will
only use what is popularly termed “Suggestion Therapy” for the more minor problems where
the probable substitution can be foreseen and therefore controlled. e.g. Anti Smoking
Therapy would contain suggestions to avoid over eating.
Each Therapist controls his or her own Practice in their own way. However the Association aims to maintain standards of the highest order and by
selecting a Member of the Association to assist you, your trust will not be misplaced.
There are two different treatments using Conscious Hypnosis available:
SUGGESTION THERAPY — which is used for simpler
problems such as smoking, nail biting, pre-test nerves, slimming, relaxation, confidence
boosting etc. and which require only one or two sessions with perhaps a booster later on.
ANALYTICAL THERAPY — which is used to discover
CAUSES of psychological problems (and of course, one does mix the two therapies)
Hypno analysis can be summarised as the doctrine of ‘cause and effect’, every
effect (the symptom) must have a cause. Hypno Analysis reveals and thus removes the cause,
and as a consequence, relieves the symptom.
Emotional problems respond particularly well to Conscious ‘Hypno-Analysis’. The
object of Analysis is to bring you to ‘a moment of surprising and liberating enlightenment’
and one can be fairly confident that a release will be obtained usually within eight to
twelve sessions of Analysis. With these cases we are talking about a complete and lasting
release, by finding and removing originating causes—as opposed to mere control of symptoms
by suggestion.
There is no reason why anyone should put up with something ‘ inside themselves
but outside their control’. Provided they are prepared to devote time, money, effort and
self discipline to be free of their problems. The use of Conscious Hypnosis dramatically
speeds up Analysis, and similar results can be achieved in a few weeks as would be expected
from a more conventional ‘1000 hour’ Analysis.
David deals with many problems. You can be sure,
however that whether you are a modest smoker merely needing a little help to stop or you feel you have little to live for, you will in either case receive the
best attention at all times. Your confidentiality and
right to privacy and anonymity are respected at all times.
