CBT-based Hypnotherapy combines the efficacy of hypnotherapy with the self-awareness gained from the well-proven psychological technique of CBT.
Research has shown that this approach is up to 80% more successful than either straightforward hypnotherapy or 'standalone' CBT.

Hypnosis works on the unconscious part of the mind. With your unconscious working with you instead of against you, it gives you a fighting chance with the power from within to sort and settle your problems.
Problems that become 'stuck', simmering in a corner of our mind can prevent us from functioning normally. All it takes is something or someone to do something that triggers off the memory or reminds us of our problem and our unconscious immediately provides us with a mental image or a picture in our mind. Not only do we have a mental picture playing before us like a movie but it is accompanied by forceful, painful emotions that we find difficult to bear.
Sometimes the root of the problem is so deeply rooted beneath the surface that we cannot identify exactly what it is, all we know is that we feel the painful emotions.
Hypnosis can release from the unconscious mind what the conscious mind has either forgotten or does not wish to reveal. Cognitive behaviour therapy with hypnosis can help you to identify the trigger that brings up the disturbing emotions. Behind the psychologically disturbing emotion (anger, anxiety, depression, low self-worth) lies an unconscious belief that we hold that is both irrational and unhealthy. CBT can help you to see things from a different perspective that can help you to overcome your problem.
