Well, the root cause of our troubles is usually inner conflict - between the conscious and the unconscious mind.

Neuroscience has demonstrated that 90 percent of our life is run by our unconscious mind. This unconscious is programmed largely in childhood, by what we see and experience as the way to be in the world in which we find ourselves.  Shockingly, this means that our conscious mind, our thinking, with which we tackle life choices and future planning, is very much a “minor shareholder” struggling to gain control!  This is why we often find ourselves behaving against our wishes in a way that “makes no sense”.

When life events trigger our unconscious it acts as programmed – the button is pressed – but when these programmes conflict with what we think we want the result is often stress, anxiety, anger or frustration. These damaging emotions drain power from our immune system, weakening its ability to fight off mutant cells and infections;   the result can be one or more of a range of illnesses from minor to life threatening, such as cancer.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is derived from the latest research into how the mind works. During therapy sessions an active, cooperative relationship is formed between therapist and client to identify the underlying causes of the client`s problems and then to work on re-programming the unconscious so that the problems can vanish.  This then frees the unconscious from conflict, so that it`s power can be directed to heal and help the client to live the life that they want and choose to live.
