Analytical Hypnotherapy

[edit]

Definition

[edit]

Analytical Hypnotherapy will be an eclectic composite of insight-oriented psychotherapy which encompasses in-depth investigative and root-cause resolution methodology. Analytical Hypnotherapy can also be known variously as Hypno-Analysis, Hypnotic Psychoanalysis, Hypno-Psychodynamic Therapy and Hypno-Psychotherapy.

Analytical Hypnotherapy fundamentally utilizes a combination of influences from psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive methodologies which primarily embrace hypnotic regression techniques, free association of thoughts and transference utilization in order to effect root-cause analysis. These investigative analytic techniques will also be coupled with psychic rehabilitation methodology, such as the all-powerful inner-child healing practice, inner adviser techniques, ego-state practice, therapeutic re-enactment and cognitive practice, in order to ensure that the client will fully recover from her psychic distress.

The primary aim of Analytical Hypnotherapy practice will be to identify and to resolve the underlying originating cause of the client’s distress. The practice of Analytical Hypnotherapy, therefore, will mean not merely treating the client’s symptomatic manifestations superficially or providing a method for coping with life’s problems but actually handling cases of intense psychological malaise by resolving dilemmas naturally and effortlessly at the root of her problem.

The client will suffer as a result of stressful-traumatic experience which will then be translated into symptomatic patterns, unwanted reactions, underlying motivations and defensive strategies. With Analytical Hypnotherapy, consequently, the practitioner can confidently help the client with a full range of emotive and psychological difficulties, such as violent tendencies, really deep-seated fears, crippling anxieties, debilitating phobias, stubborn habit disorders, low confidence, grief-bereavement issues, relationship disharmony, psychosomatic-psychogenic disorders, traumatic distress and the devastating effects of childhood abuse, neglect and abandonment. The problems for which hypnotherapy has become popularly renown, such as weight management, smoking cessation, low-grade phobias and unwanted habits, can, of course, equally be tackled using an analytical hypnotherapeutic approach.

Analytical Hypnotherapy will draw principally on psychodynamic methodology but, as an eclectic practice, it will be supplemented by important features of humanistic, existential, gestalt, transpersonal and cognitive practices. It will be essential for the practitioner to appreciate that, as an eclectic methodology, Analytical Hypnotherapy will be wide in its scope and coverage rather than viewing the practice merely as a hand-me-down from psychodynamic philosophy. The practitioner can, with this vista in mind, approach a greater number of clients and, consequently, the practitioner's professional working life will be more interesting and fulfilling. The client’s hypno-psychotherapy, as an eclectic practice, will, therefore, be conducted with hypnotherapy as the medium through which he/she can access and can resolve the originating source of his/her stressful-traumatic manifestation.
