Uses Of Ericksonian Hypnosis In London Hypnotherapy

The Ericksonian Hypnosis is a new concept of hypnosis and it is used in London hypnotherapy. Its use in therapy was developed by Milton H.

Compare with the classic hypnosis London

The Ericksonian hypnosis (sometimes also called "new hypnosis") is opposed to the classic hypnosis that was developed early in the 20th century, by the means used to induce hypnosis and how this state is used.

Induction

In the classical hypnosis London, the induction is authoritarian, the hypnotist gives orders to the patient: "sleep", "close your eyes", etc.. Induction is generally the same for everyone. However, not everyone receives such orders and that is why the partisans of classical hypnosis London claim that everyone is hypnotizable.

The Ericksonian hypnotic induction is tailored to the patient: for those who require orders they are given, but for those who do not like it do otherwise. The induction techniques are many and varied, and they are especially adapted to the patient and his psychological state at the time of induction. One of the basic principles of Ericksonian hypnosis is to use what the patient brings, i.e. his psychological characteristics, his mood, he loves the way he talked, his worldview, its dominant mode of perception (visual, kinesthetic, auditory), etc.

Use

In classical hypnosis London, the hypnotist gives suggestions direct the patient in order to remove his symptoms, or change its behavior. The results vary depending on the personality of the patient and his problem, and the results are rarely lasting. In the classical hypnotherapy London, the patient is passive, he listens to suggestions and does nothing else.

In the Ericksonian hypnosis, the approach is radically different. Of course, there are always suggestions  used, but this is only one of many tools used. The basic principle is to establish communication with the unconscious patient and then to introduce changes in the functioning of the unconscious. This is an interactive process where the therapist reacts based on answers given by the patient's unconscious. This will directly address issues where there are and adapt to the profound needs of the patient, and this is the effectiveness of Ericksonian hypnosis.

The Ericksonian Therapy

Ericksonian Hypnosis is broader than just the use of hypnosis London for therapy. Behind the practices of the Ericksonian  therapy some principles implied  are very important:

• It is not necessary to make conscious what is unconscious
• It is not necessary that the mental processes and personality characteristics to be analyzed by the patient
• The suggestions need not be direct. The indirect suggestions can often circumvent the limitations of the patient acquired.
• The therapeutic suggestion is not to schedule the patient with the view of the therapist.
• The therapist is not less important, what matters is that the patient’s needs are met.
• Each patient requires an individual approach of its specific problem with hypnotherapy London
