Hypnotherapy is full of myths. True or False? Lets have a look. I’m Danny Start, a clinical hypnotherapist based in Dartford Kent. I have to explain what hypnosis is and isn’t on a daily basis.
Hypnotherapy is now seen as a serious therapy treatment. Hypnosis has been proven to help people with: Anxiety, stress, IBS, weight loss, addictions, quit smoking, psychological conditions…
This has taken many years and still has some way to go. There are many scientific journals that have published evidence to prove this. Below are just two of the many.

Hypnotherapy overlooked
Many people come to a hypnosis session once they have tried everything else! What a shame.nhs
So why is hypnotherapy frowned upon by some? Why is it not as main stream as counselling, CBT or talking therapies?
Well it appears there are several interesting reasons. Those being; Sigmund Freud, the Catholic Church, Hollywood, Hypnosis comedy shows and fear (fear due to not understanding what hypnotherapy actually is).wiki
Psychotherapy
Modern day talking therapies are generally the go to for our problems today. Now, a 100 years or so ago, this was not always the case. Hypnotherapy was often used to help people through their difficulties.directory
However, Mr. Freud the farther of psychology was not very good at hypnotherapy. His bed side manner was too authoritarian. He struggled with rapport, which is essential for hypnotherapy.Hypnotherapy Dartford
So Sigmund opted for ‘free association’. A different technique to access the unconscious mind. Thus hypnosis was cast aside.
Religion
The Catholic Church, of which i was part of for 20 years, is not too enamoured by hypnosis. They have not come out directly disobeying hypnotherapy. Although they suggest it may be sinful. That only God can control your mind. The use of hypnotherapy is similar to drunkenness or drug abuse.Call Me or Book Appointment
Some parts of the Church suggest hypnotherapy would be allowed, if for righteous reasons. Such as, quit smoking etc.
Hollywood
Have you seen that brilliant and very scary movie ‘Get Out’? In this movie the star is hypnotised by a spoon scrapping around a tea cup. Then once hypnotised he and a few others are brainwashed to work as servants. Very scary and very impossible.
However, the general public, leave the cinema with a scary big question mark over hypnotherapy.
The Truth about Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy works quickly and effectively by getting to the root of the problem…which lye in the unconscious mind.
All your beliefs, values, programmes and habits are stored in the unconscious mind. Hypnotherapy safely helps you remove what no longer serves you. Then we can put in how you wish to be…it really is that simple! essential

And I just want to demystify this subject…for instance, quickly, you will be completely aware of all that is said during a session, and you can not be made to do something you don’t want to do; that’s Hollywood; this is Dartford! You are entirely in control, just relaxed and focused.
