Cognitive Hypnotherapy in London with Christian Huez

Cognitive Hypnotherapy

Cognitive Hypnotherapy (CHT) is a unique therapy. It uses the most effective elements of a variety of therapy practices and applies them during therapy. It believes that the therapist’s role is not to come up with answers, only questions that guide the client to finding his or her own answers.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy does not believe that depth of trance is a significant factor in the success of a suggestion or technique. Instead,it uses the client's natural trance states (like you experience when driving and can’t remember the journey, or been in a meeting and you were “miles away”) to assist in uncovering the feelings, thoughts and memory patterns that led to the problem, and which continue to maintain it.

In CHT, we seek to identify the primary or process emotion that generates the automatic thought and change it. Finding the emotional root of a problem has a deeper impact than changing the thoughts that communicate it.

NLP has developed an excellent set of tools to analyse these processes allowing us to make conscious the ‘thought steps’ the unconscious takes to manifest good or bad behaviour.

Hypnotic suggestions are intended to disrupt the process that brings those thoughts into life. These indirect suggestions are built from the words, thoughts and expressions, the client uses when describing both their problem and solution state.

In CHT we call this wordweaving™, a style of communication developed and taught by the internationally recognised Trevor Silvester, the founder of The Quest Institute.

Compared to direct/authoritarian hypnotherapy CHT uses mainly indirect suggestions where there are fewer chances that they get rejected by the conscious mind.

Many traditional therapists use a one-size fits all approach irrespective of your background, reasons for change or motives for seeking help. No two people with a fear of public speaking or lack of self-confidence are the same. With that in mind, the same approach is likely to have limited impact.

Everyone is unique and so is their experience of their problem. As a Quest trained professional, I will identify your unique patterns or thoughts and emotions of your issue and create a personal and bespoke treatment plan just for you to help you achieve any needs or goals using the very latest scientifically driven ideas and techniques.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)

This is an approach developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.

• Neuro- the idea that all behaviour is the result of information we receive from our 5 senses.
• Linguistic- the languages we use to order our thoughts and communicate.
• Programming- the way we use the above to create our behaviour.

NLP allows the therapist to understand your everyday and unique processes and then changing them using the large number of techniques NLP provides.

Incorporated within Cognitive Hypnotherapy it can provide a cutting edge approach to modern therapy providing positive change quickly and permanently and significantly improve your life.

Some famous NLP statement are:

• 'There's no failure, only feedback!'
• 'All your behaviour started out as good behaviour!’
• It’s never too late to have a happy childhood!’

Some of the techniques you can learn and apply yourself giving you more control of your issues and life.
