Hypnotherapy to help you cope with change

One of the only certainties in life is that things never remain the same. When going through difficulties you may be glad of this and look forward to a brighter future but when you are faced with a change you don’t want to face this can be very different.

Change and loss

Every change involves a loss of some sort. The death of someone close to you can be shattering in its impact and consequences. Other losses include breakdown of relationships, redundancies and illnesses. You can find yourself grieving for a life you expected to have when things change that are out of your control. This can lead to feelings of anger, resentment, depression or the feeling of being stuck.

Smaller losses can also add to the load; setting off memories of bigger losses you have faced which can lead to strong reactions.

It is natural to struggle with change. Any change can represent a potential threat and this can trigger your mind to overreact with a fight or flight response. Large changes such as bereavements and relationship breakdowns impact on our lives significantly but the grieving process can sometimes be disrupted through the stresses and pressures of our busy lives.

People also vary naturally in their ability and attitude towards change depending on their past experiences, their background and their personalities. While some people thrive on what can be seen as positive changes (such as leaving home, changing jobs or making new friendships) other people find these difficult hurdles to overcome.

How hypnotherapy can support you to cope better with change

Solution focused hypnotherapy can support you by helping you to focus on the positives in your life and the qualities that have helped you overcome problems in the past. By building your confidence and resilience in this way you feel more empowered to face changes.

Through hypnosis your mind is also given an opportunity to process and catch up with some of the changes you have had to deal with in a relaxing and safe way.

Google review from a client who sought hypnotherapy for coping with change

A recent client explained their experience as follows: ‘I recently undertook hypnotherapy with Elizabeth and it has led me through a period of personal difficulty. A few years ago I suffered from a number of significant bereavements and had found it difficult to get back on an even keel and feel in control of life. The hypnotherapy sessions have helped me to overcome a range of anxieties and to start managing my life again and move forward with planning and projects. It has been a valuable experience.’
