Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. The technique enables changes in perception and memory i.e. the clients’ enhanced state of awareness paves way to dwelling deep into high resourceful state of mind viz. understanding deep perception & perspectives, forming vision boards of life based on the anecdotes in sub-conscious memory.

Our behavior and attitudes are governed by our belief systems ingrained along with values which; we have inculcated in the soul/life’s journey. These sentinels of emotions are stored as primitive as well as modern memory respectively. When there is a friction between these dynamic subconscious elements of psyche we tend to become less resourceful compared to our actual self/potential.

In the state of hypnosis the conscious mind slows down to reveal the subconscious mind where the actual healing takes place with profound results that are literally Life-changing .

The therapist works with the client to understand clients’ behavior patterns and relationship transactions to miraculous transformation on an holistic spectrum of the client lives.

Belief systems, negative behaviors patterns , unconscious fears, negative thoughts/negative automated thoughts can be very powerful obstacles for a happy and successful life. Hypnotherapy aims to re-programme such patterns and behaviour to alleviate issues & ameliorate the person to state of excellence and holistic wellbeing.

Hypnotherapy can be applied in many cases of physical, emotional and psychological disorders.People are now; understanding that hypnosis which was seen as waving pendulums and controlling minds is actually can be applied to therapy in deep and profound ways helping them understand “THY-SELF” & make positive changes within themselves.

Mindfulness & Guided Meditation

Mindfulness meditation is a mental training practice that teaches you to slow down racing thoughts, let go of negativity, and calm both your mind and body. It combines meditation with the practice of mindfulness, which can be defined as a mental state that involves being fully focused on “the now” so you can acknowledge and accept your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment.

Techniques can vary, but in general, mindfulness meditation involves profound breathing and awareness of body and mind. Practicing mindfulness meditation doesn’t require props or preparation (no need for candles, essential oils, or mantras, unless you enjoy them). To get started, all you need is a comfortable place to sit, will to be at present, and a judgment-free mindset.

These guided meditations can be very relaxing and profound for everybody.

Positive psychology 

Positive psychology is a relatively new form of psychology. It emphasizes the positive influences in a person's life. These might include character strengths, optimistic emotions, and constructive institutions. This theory is based on the belief that happiness is derived from both emotional and mental factors.

The Three Pillars: Positive Psychology has three central concerns: positive experiences, positive individual traits, and positive institutions. Understanding positive emotions entails the study of contentment with the past, happiness in the present, and hope for the future

The Dimensions of Happiness
The Pleasant LifeA life full of positive emotion. Experiencing pleasure and learning skills to build and maintain positive emotions. Traits of the pleasant life are often inherited.
The Good LifePositive engagement in life tasks such as parenting or work which is called "flow". A person with high flow will be challenged by their tasks, but not overwhelmed. They might feel that time flies by when they are engaged.
The Meaningful Life Using individual strengths for something greater than one's self. Deriving meaning and value from life. Happiness from the meaningful life is deep, rich, and resilient.
Practising positive psychology:

• Gratitude Journal.

• Gratitude Visit.

• Acts of Kindness.

• Developing Meaning.

• Design a Beautiful Day.

Neuro-linguistic programming is a way of changing someone’s thoughts and behaviours to help achieve desired outcomes/Expected traits. NLP uses perceptual, behavioural, and communication techniques to make it easier for people to change their thoughts and actions. preamble of the NLP is that mostly people operate with internal “MAPS” of their physical surroundings that they learn through sensory experiences.

NLP tries to detect and modify unconscious biases or limitations of an individual’s map of the world.

a central feature of NLP is the idea that a person is biased towards one sensory system, known as the preferred representational system or PRS.

Therapists can detect this preference through language. Phrases such as “I see your point” may signal a visual PRS. Or “I hear your point” may signal an auditory PRS

NLP mind work/Re-wiring is fast and effective to address the neurotic problems as well work related issues.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is similar to general talk therapy here there is special therapeutic interventions are carried out to achieve specific goals such as addressing issues of personality,behavior,cognitive patterns,emotion management etc.

Psychotherapy can help people in a range of situations viz.

• has overwhelming feelings of sadness or helplessness

• feels anxious most of the time

• has difficulty facing everyday challenges or focusing on work or studies

• is using drugs or alcohol in a way that is not healthful 

• is at risk of harming themselves or others

• feels that their situation will never improve, despite receiving help from friends and family

• has experienced an abusive situation 

• has a mental health condition, such as schizophrenia, that affects their daily life i.e. for people with psychotic disorders there always need of psychiatric interventions to which psychotherapy can be a complimentary therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behaviour therapy helps a person understand and change how their thoughts and behaviors can affect the way people feel and act.

CBT can help people with many issues, including: 

• depression

• anxiety

• Post traumatic stress disorder

• eating disorders

• low self-esteem

   

  Interpersonal therapy

   

  Under this modality a person learns new ways to communicate or express their feelings. It can help with building and maintaining healthy relationships.

  For example, if someone who responds to feeling neglected by getting angry, this may trigger a negative reaction in others. This can lead to depression and isolation.

  The individual will learn to understand and modify their approach to interpersonal problems and acquire ways of managing them more constructively.

  Psycho dynamic therapy

  Psychodynamic therapy addresses the ways in which past experiences, such as those during childhood, can impact a person’s current thoughts and behaviors. Often, the person is unaware that this influence is even present.

  Identifying these influences can help people understand the source of feelings such as distress and anxiety. Once they identify these sources, the psychotherapist can help the person address them. This can help an individual feel more in control of their life.

  It is similar to psychoanalysis but less intense.

  Family therapy

  Opens a save window for family members to ventilate:

   

   

  • express their views

  • explore difficult feelings

  • understand each other

  • build on existing strengths

  • find solutions to problems

   

   

  This form of psychotherapy can be useful when problems stem from family relationships, or when a child or young person is facing difficulties.

   

  Relationship Therapy

   

  Relationship therapy is another type of psychotherapy. It is very similar to family therapy, but a person may instead wish to present to therapy with their partner to address issues within a relationship.

   

  Group Therapy

   

  sessions usually involve one therapist and around 5–15 participants with similar concerns, such as:

   

   

  • depression

  • chronic pain

  • substance misuse

   

   

  The group will usually meet for 1 or 2 hours each week, and individuals may also attend one-on-one therapy.

  People can benefit from interacting with the therapist but also by interacting with others who are experiencing similar challenges. Group members can also support each other.

   

  Although participating in a group may seem intimidating, it can help people realize that they are not alone with their problem.

   

  Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

   

  REBT is grounded in the idea that people generally want to do well in life. For example, you probably want to achieve your goals and find happiness. But sometimes, irrational thoughts and feelings get in the way. These beliefs can influence how you perceive circumstances and events — usually not for the better.

  here at REBT we Rationalise thoughts there by changing emotions affecting our personality largely. concept of threapy with REBT goes like this..

   

   

   

  • Activation events

  • Behavior/belief system

  • Consequences

  • Disputation

  • Effective philosophy

  • Future course of action
