Simon Wayman Hypnotherapy
& HypnoAnalysis
A few words from Simon Wayman about how and why Hypno-analysis works
I am continually contacted by people who suffer from any of the anxiety symptoms described in this web. Many of them have suffered for years without any real help. They haven’t found anything which really works. When I first meet them I ask what’s wrong and they tell me all the things – panic attacks, depression, low self esteem, low confidence, nervousness, etc. These problems often come on slowly through adult life, getting steadily worse or they will start some time after a shock, a family crisis or bereavement (this will be the trigger not the cause). They then have tried to work out why and from where they have come, and have sort treatment for these symptoms. The treatment is normally aimed at the symptom. This is why the treatments are often not so successful. There is a reason why you have a symptom, and it is this ‘reason’ which is the key to becoming well. This is where my treatment differs from so many others. Hypno-analysis is a therapy where you look back through your life at all the things which have hurt and upset you, and it helps you to release the emotions which have been bottled up inside. It turns out that it is the childhood hurts which are the most important, as your childhood sets your understanding and all your patterns for life. I have found through many years of listening to what comes up in therapy that I hear the same old things over and over again. Its all the knocks and bumps of life which get bottled up and stuck inside. Ordinary things which you easily remember. I have also found that simply by remembering and feeling again these emotions, that it clears not just your past emotions but your present symptoms as well. And this is the key. Your symptoms don’t come out of nowhere. They are actually caused by the buried the emotions inside you. As further proof that it really does work like this, let me explain how so many people go through therapy with me. As an example, I’ll take a typical lady in her mid thirties who has started having panic attacks. She says that she was fine until she went through a difficult divorce. The panics came on and are getting worse and she can’t understand why as she has always coped well with things through her life. Once I’ve relaxed her on my couch, I ask her to let her mind drift back and tell me whatever comes into her thoughts. This is normally a very easy thing to do. The memories just seem to appear in your mind. While she’s telling me what’s in her mind, I am just listening. I don’t lead her or comment on anything. My job is to keep her in her memories and help her to feel and release the emotions that come up. Not to analyse her thoughts. After doing this for between 6 and 10 sessions she will normally have release quite a lot of emotion and be free of her panic attacks and be feeling much better in many ways. The interesting thing is that she will probably never mention anything about her marriage break-up or divorce in the therapy. The thing which she blamed for her problem. Yet by the end of therapy it has all gone. I’ve seen this happen so many times. The symptoms disappear without working on them at all. We work on the underlying anxieties from the past and that does the job. I find this very convincing as an explanation of how people acquire nervous disorders and also that it is essential to get to the root of the problem and not to just paper over the cracks. Through the many years that I’ve been using Hypno-analysis, I have found it to be simple to use, very rapid and highly effective on the vast majority of people. It has brought many people back to living normal, happy lives. |
