Overview
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern, evidence based therapy that combines two powerful approaches: the forward, goal oriented features of solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), and the deep relaxation state of clinical hypnosis.
The SFH approach is grounded in research, and while the methods are straightforward and immediately practical, their impact can be profound. Through simple, targeted techniques, we can rewire the brain, to seek out positives, shift perspective, and recognise opportunity.
SFH is a positive talking therapy, but unlike other forms of talking therapy, it doesn't dwell on the past. Neuroscience tells us that the brain cannot distinguish between imagination and reality, meaning that recalling past events can bring back not just the memories, but the physical sensations and emotions that came with them. In our sessions. I will never ask you to revisit those experiences. The focus is entirely on moving forward, SFH directs your attention toward where you want to go then taps into your own mind's natural capacity to get you there.
Neuroscience shows us that when we are stressed and anxious we move into the primitive part of our brain (fight / flight / freeze). We need this in emergencies, but this is not a useful or healthy place to live, we can't make good decisions from there. We need to regain our intellectual control and move back into our planning, creating and logical thinking area. SFH is a way to do do this quickly and effectively
It is a brief form of therapy by design. Most clients see meaningful lasting change in eight to twelve sessions (sometimes more). This isn't a shortcut, it's because SFH works with your brain rather than against it.
