About hypnotherapy
Introduction to hypnotherapy
My name is Lana Lane, and I live in West Sussex in the UK.
The human brain has always fascinated me since it is the most complex organ in our universe about which we know so little as to how it functions.
I am passionate about studying neurology to gain further understanding about how the brain works.
I graduated from the University of Southampton, studying biomedical science and neuroscience.
I am a King’s College London student studying Applied Neuroscience (Msc).
My desire is to join research teams and study memory, brain aging, and mental disorders.
My calling is to help people with mental conditions and provide them with the support they seek. I currently work part time at a care home for people suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
I was accepted into the hypnotherapy course in Brighton in 2022, where I learned hypnotherapy practices and how to apply solution-focused hypnotherapy to help treat many mental conditions and to help patients to cope better with whatever issues and problems they may have in their lives.
While hypnosis is not a cure in and of itself, it can be a tool that makes therapy delivery easier, much like how a syringe makes the distribution of medicine possible and more efficient. Hypnosis can assist patients in believing in themselves and giving positive mental support with whatever they may wish to accomplish, however it cannot make the impossible feasible.
Trance is, in fact, a state that everyone experiences daily – it can be while watching a ballet in the theatre, listening to music, concentrating on particular work, and even driving a familiar route home or to the office for example.
For therapeutic reasons, one could think of hypnosis as a meditation that one can learn to enter knowingly and purposefully. Afterward, suggestions are made vocally or visually with an eye towards achieving the intended result. This could be done to control the side effects of drugs, reducing anxiety by accessing tranquility and relaxation, or alleviate pain or other symptoms. Hypnosis is typically a calming experience, which can be pretty beneficial for a patient who is tense, stressed, worried depressed or has addiction issues . Hypnosis’s main advantage is that it enhances the power of positive advice and gives access to mind-body connections and the unconscious thought processes. In addition to being used to lessen emotional suffering, hypnosis may also have an immediate impact in reducing a patient’s level of pain
Since the beginning of time, hypnotic states have been used for healing. Still, because they can be abused for so-called entertainment and because hypnosis has been portrayed in the media as a mysterious, magical state that is ostensibly beyond the control of the hypnotised subject, many medical professionals are skeptical of it. Yet thanks to recent developments in neurology, we can now start to understand the positive possibilities when someone enters a hypnotic state.
