Directory Spotlight:
Lynne Russell, Hypnotherapist
Basically when we have hypnotherapy or use
self-hypnosis it is relaxation for the body and
mind; time off modern life’s hamster wheel.
This in itself offers benefits, as stress plays havoc
with our short and long term health. It feels like
dreaming, although we’re awake and in control.
Our focus drifts inwards and we can move through
a series of different brainwave patterns, increasing
our sense of relaxation, improving memory recall,
reducing pain, anxiety and our responses to stress.
When we have hypnotherapy the aim is to access
and update our patterns of thinking and
behaving, and draw upon more of our resources
and potential – a bit like a software update! We
can work with aspects of our lives that are challenging
us: fears and phobias, confidence and self-esteem
issues, unhelpful habits and insomnia, as well
as boosting creativity and creative problem solving.
It can also help in the management of conditions
exacerbated by stress including IBS, skin problems
and migraines.
I also offer workshops to teach people how to
use self-hypnosis to support themselves. Once
you understand the overall approach and how to
work with different areas, you begin to realise that
the potential for using this wonderful resource is
vast. The next one is on 16th April.
The important difference
between this and stage
hypnosis is the therapeutic
intention. You are in
control. Hypnosis is the
state – hypnotherapy is
what you do when you are
there. As told to Lizzie Lower
