'It’s time hypnotherapy is taken seriously and accepted as a legitimate form of therapy' ✍️ Jacqueline Carson writes for MetroOpinion
‘What am I doing?’ I thought. ‘I’ve invited a man I don’t know into my house to hypnotise me to stop smoking!’
Like a lot of people, I’d seen the TV shows with Paul McKenna and Derran Brown, and associated it with trickery or pretend magic. Watching people on stage clucking like a chicken, I thought they must all be in on the act.after a breast cancer diagnosis. The idea was to help process what was happening; to come to terms with and accept my cancer diagnosis. I was open minded about it, even after my previous experience.
When you’re faced with a serious illness where there is a possibility you could die, you think about things differently, your priorities change. The hypnosis helped me to think clearly, it helped me to realise that I had more power than I ever knew, that I was not a victim, and I could take some control over my life.
The following year, I asked a colleague if she’d hypnotise me to stop smoking, using the method we had both learned in hypnotherapy school. She agreed and I paid her. I read it and re-read it like you would an affirmation, then I hypnotised myself and re-read the words in my mind. I visualised myself not drinking, living my life without alcohol. Rather than pouring a glass of wine after work, I pictured myself making a cup of herbal tea.
To manage my own pain and hot flushes, I created a place in my subconscious mind where I could turn them on and off. I use this same analogy when I go to the dentist now, and with my clients.Now, I run my own business, helping others and making positive changes to their lives. I get amazing feedback and have been told I am a miracle worker. Yesterday a client told me her life has been totally changed.
