Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a brain based therapy using the most up to date findings of neuroscience and retraining the brain. It does not focus on what has happened in your past and instead looks at your present situation, and your future. Therefore we do not need to talk about your problems for hours and hours in order to get to the root of it or spend time picking apart your past. We are not 'problem centred' but 'solution focused'. We acknowledge the problem, decide on the goals you wish to achieve then focus on the here and now and the solutions that you can achieve. We start with little steps that will lead onto bigger changes. When you are relaxed and in a perfect frame of mind you can see the wood from the trees and change the way that you think, for the better and be more confident and in control of your life. Once in a trance state it is possible to access your subconscious mind to enable changes to take place so that you deal with situations more appropriately effectively and successfully. What would your future look like if the problem you’re experiencing had improved? What would have changed? Questions like these help solutions become more obvious, giving you actionable steps to take to reach your goal. A core belief of solution focused practitioners is that you, the client, have the strength and resources to solve your own problems. The role of the therapist is to prompt and guide you along this journey. Adding hypnosis to this technique is what separates solution focused hypnotherapy from traditional solution focused brief therapy. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation where the subconscious becomes more open to positive suggestion. Incorporating relaxation and guided visualisation can help to enhance the solution work being carried out.
