3 WAYS HYPNOSIS HELPS CONQUER DEPRESSION

1. Revivification.

This is my favourite technique. First I get the client to go into trance. Then get them to emotionally relive a memory. We do this naturally. Maybe talking with friends we recall a pleasant memory. Maybe laugh or smile as we tell it.We relive it in some way. In trance often these memories and the feelings can be more intense.
So this helps us to release happy hormones, endorphins .Serotonin, dopamine etc. .We release our own brains medication, our own antidepressant. I've had great results with this. Clients love the effect of this memory.
Giving them some natural relief from their low mood. Some control.
This technique often sets up all the other ones .As a client starts to FEEL better .Its easier to accept positive suggestions.This technique sets hypnosis apart from other therapy. Hypnosis has many deepning techniques that help you go into such a deep state of relaxation.

2. All or nothing thinking 
In trance black and white thinking can be challenged and changed for more subjective ones. This type of thinking is very common with depression. Any other distorted ways of unhelpful thinking can be also challenged at a deep level. How we talk to ourselves is so important. Hypnosis is a great way to plant positive suggestions deep into the subconscious.

3.Accessing the root cause.
Sometimes there can be an initial forgotten/repressed trauma locked in our subconscious .Hypnosis can act as a short cut to your subconscious mind. Its amazing watching clients accessing a memory from 20 yes ago that they completely forgotten about.The memory was forgotten, but the effects still remain. By releasing it, we can reprocess it as an adult .Leaving behind the old reaction to it.

It still give me a great sense of satisfaction siting  four feet away from someone, watching their mood change.
Sometimes after only 20 mins. Of course these techniques have to be practiced over and over again before long-term results are achieved.
Hope this short Blog may encourages you to try hypnosis for yourself. I know many

can be  sceptical about hypnotherapy. But that's only natural .I would be the same myself.
Some clients come to me who are slightly sceptical. They come often because they have tried everything else .But when they start to get results. Belief follows .Please contact if you have any questions .Only too glad to help. Email me or ring for Free phone consultation.
all the very best

Why hypnosis is so successful for treating Anxiety

I really do beleieve that hypnosis is such a powerful tool for treating anxiety.Having successfully treated many clients who suffer from anxiety/panic/stress.It still gives me great satisfaction watching a client leraning to control/reduce/elimante their anxiety.
Then how is hypnosis so good for this.As someone once said to me.It really gets at the anxiety.Of  course finding out the root cause of anxiety is so important.Identifying negative self talk.Healing and reprocessing old trauma memories.Most decient psychotherapy will help you achieve this.
But the first I do with a client is help them relax.Before we do any analysis.Talking deep breaths,progrssive relaxation techniques.Positive healing visualizations.Because clients FEEL anxious. Don't.Don't under estimate how useful relaxation is.
Hypnosis can really help you achieve deep states of relaxation.For some who has been suffering from crippling anxiety,its so powerful.I use a technique called revivification. This.This is where you emotionally relieve a memory.First Talk the client down into trance.Then the get the client to relive a happy/relaxed memory,maybe a time when they felt so safe.But its the feelings that are most important.Releasing feelings of calmness.
Clients often say that their not sure if they can do this.Its always me me smile a little.Because once you go down into trance.Its often quit easy to release these endorphin memories.Because this ability is already within us.We often do this in our waking life.When we meet friends,or watch a favorite Tv program from our childhood.It triggers a memory,a feeling.
Often I find people who are most anxious go the deepest.I think they are just waiting for someone to show them how to let go of their weight.
Of course everyone responds at a different rate..Hypnosis is not magic.Hypnotherapy helps you to help yourself.Its not mind control.
I had a client last week who went so deep so quickly.It still impresses me.He had been suffering from anxiety for over 2 yrs.After 20 mins he said he hadn't relaxed like that in over 2yrs.It was the first break he had from his anxiety.Also said he was slightly skeptical about hypnosis at first.He just tried it as a last resort.
He had tried CBT .But it didn't do much for him.
Anxiety treatment that doesn't involve relaxation techniques fall short I believe.
Many of my clients have tried cognitive behavioral psychology.But they found it a bit dry.Don't get me wrong I use some of the CBT techniques myself.But on its own sometimes not enough for anxiety.
Hypnosis really helps to get at the anxiety.Helping the client to work directly on calming their nervous system.
As the client starts to feel less anxious and more relaxed.Then its easier to work on deepers subconscious programs.
I hope this blog helps someone to find relief from their anxiety.Or maybe point them in the right direction.
Majority of my clients don't go past four/five sessions.Hypnosis can treat anxiety so quickly.
Of course as I say everyone is different.Hypnosis is very powerful.But its not magic.Its nothing like what you see on a stage show.
Anxiety is often called "misuse of the imagination "seeing things go wrong before they actually happen. Thoughts can create feeling. Change your imagination through visualisation, see the other side. If you have any questions , please email or just ring me. Always open to having a chat.
All the best and good luck on you journey.

Fear of needles

My name is Ger Griffin.I am a clinical hypnotherapist.www.hypnosis-dublin.com
I had the the woderfull experience of tasting my own medicine.I just went for minor lowerback spinal injection in hospital.To be honest was'nt looking forward to having a huge needle being stuck into my lower spine.Epidural injection into the L4 vertabrae to be exact.Hypnotherapists like myself often get into the field to deal with their own issues.Neddles beng one of mine.As I write this the effects of the local anaesthatic hasn't worn off yet.So maybe some spelling/text errors.I'm sure you will forgive me.
When I first arrived outside the hospital.My anxiety started to rise.My nevous system was telling me to"go"back home to safety.I took deep breath and released a relaxed anchor.This reduced my anxiety from 6 right down to 2.Sacle from 1 -10.First hurdle done.Relax anchor is practiced previously.In trance I visualise a relaxed memory,access the relaxed safe feeeling.Anchor it by putting thimb and forefinger together.Anchoring means ur body /mind remembers that feeling,those reassuring thoughts.
I then go into the main area of the hospital.Sit outside the xray dept.Where my procedure will happen.
Anxiety starts again,7 out of ten.Its really gioing to happen.I take deep breath and release anchor  again.
Then I do EFT Tapping.Serious of tapping points of body.Brought anxiety down to 2/3.Not bad.
I register at reception.Before I know it,there taking me to get ready for nerve block.The nurse gives me all the info.Calms my nerves,tells me,won't be too painfull.It should go very well.I listen carefully.Because these are hypnotic suggestions in themselves.
Im on the table now.Surrounded by  cylnder xray machine.My heart starts to race as they prepare.Another deep breath,release relax anchor.Heart starts to slow.They start with local anaestheic.Tiny pain.
Now for the big needle.In it goes.Feel pressure.I releax myself.Not feeling too bad at all.
Little more pain as the move needle around.They inject the medice into my spine.Take out needle.Its over.
My anxiety I kept under control.The nurse asks me"how was it""not to bad at all"and I smile.
Well done self hypnosis.My own medicine worked.
The background to this story.My farther died in this hospital.Also we suspect mistakes where made.No wonder I had anxiety.I had to relax away those negative thoughts/memories.
Feeling not to bad.Final thing,anchor in my subconscious that next time,no need for anxiety.The mind and body remenbersGot a taxi home.Had a chat with the driver.He was so nice.Shuck my hand and said"hope ur back gets better soon.Support of any kind is so important.
Sitting at home,with nice cup of hot tea writting blog.So pleased got to taste my own medice,as a clinical hypnothrapist.Not for the firs time.
Hope my story was helpfull to anyone going to hospital or the dentist.Theres always a way.
All the best.

Stop Smoking hypnosis-dublin

QUIT SMOKING 

Can hypnosis really help me quit?
I really believe it can.I have helped many clients to stop smoking .Often clients come to me after trying everything else.Nicotine gum/patches,ecigarets.Nothing has worked.Why is this?They may deal with the physical somewhat,but not the psychological.In trancehypnosis helps you identify the triggers and psychological association you have with smoking.Hypnotherapy aims to deals  with the physical and psychological triggers.What you once got from[endorphin rush] smoking you will get from releasing your own bodies endorphin.
Some clients find it so easy to stop,some find they have to make more of an effort ,some even find it hard.But if you stick with the programme your should get there .Smoke free .Its so worth it.
If you have any queries you can ring me for a quick chat without any obligation.I will be only to happy to help  you with any questions. Ger Griffin D.H.P ADV MICHP

What does hypnosis feel like
When was the last time you were in a hypnotic trance? When you just woke up in the morning,day dreaming.Trance is a natural state that we fall into several times a day.You will feel fully aware and can wake up at any moment.Its not like stage hypnosis at all.In fact clinical hypnosis is generally a very relaxing experience.
Its not stage hypnosis
What I mean by this that its not magic,even though sometimes it seems that way.Its not like I click my fingers you go into some zonked out state then your cured.I help the client to help them selves.Its still up to you.Don't get me wrong,you are more that quadrupling your chances to stop smoking forever.

Why Suffer from Depression this Xmass

Hypnosis is one of the best tools for defeating Depression.
Before starting any in depth analysis,I get the client to FEEL better.
Depression creates  negative hormones like cortisol.
Using visualisation,NLP,relaxation and suggestions.Hypnosis helps a client to create more positive hormones like serotonin &dopermine.It acts like as a antidepressant but without any side effects.
Even after two sessions a client's depression can be dramatically reduced.Everyone responds at a different rate.I don't do therapy,the client does.I help the client to help themselves.Its not like stage hypnosis.
Of course eating and exercise also has a big effect.
I think counselling  on its own falls short.But combining the both is way more powerful.
Today most therapist are trained in many areas.
I am trained in hypnotherapy,but also use some CBT,Counselling and EFT.
