Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a ground-breaking, scientific approach to therapy. It combines and integrates well-researched and successful approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Positive Psychology, Gestalt, Evolutionary Psychology and Hypnotherapy.
In September 2015, the Mental Health Review Journal published Cognitive Hypnotherapy as “a brief effective treatment for clients with clinically significant levels of anxiety and/or depression”.
In an average of six sessions, 71% reported themselves recovered, compared to 42% of people using other therapies.
It is so powerful because there are no pre-written and rehearsed scripts, not labelling problems only providing a personalised and individual approach to your issues. Sessions are able to go straight to the heart of the matter allowing for a rapid and efficient treatment.

We Are Already Hypnotised” subheadline=”Studies suggest that approximately 90% of our behaviour is unconscious.According to a study published in March 2019 in the Journal Scientific Reports, researchers in Australia were able to predict basic choices participants made 11 seconds before they consciously declared their decisions.
Our choices are made out of beliefs that were formed in early childhood and our unconscious drives our behaviours according to these beliefs and associations.
According to the Cognitive Hypnotherapy approach, when you behave in a way that you don’t want you are already in a trance. And because this happens every day, we consider trance as natural state that everyone experiences without even being aware of it.
If the unconscious drives 90% of our behaviour, then the notion that we are in control is an illusion and the reality is that the unconscious mind is the one running the show.
Instead of hypnotising the individual, we use Cognitive Hypnotherapy to actually de-hypnotise the person from a state that no longer serves them, which is what we normally call “problem”.
So here is the difference. While traditional hypnotherapy presents hypnosis as a state where the hypnotherapist must “put you under”, Cognitive Hypnotherapy understands hypnosis to be a natural state that we go to whenever our mind drifts or when we are in a relaxed state.
Cognitive Hypnosis is not a special state where someone else, in this case the therapist, will have control over you. It’s simply a more relaxed state, when your brain produces alpha waves and you are less likely to resist the information received.
For this reason, there is no such a thing as a person who can’t be hypnotised. Everyone’s brain is capable of producing alpha and theta waves which are the frequencies that we need in order for the unconscious accept the suggestions given by the therapist.

The Uniqueness of Every Individual” subheadline=”The things that we perceive as “problems” are simply everyday trance states that leads to behaviour that we can’t seem to control.
Even though people present similar “problems” such as anxiety, eating disorders, depression and the list goes on, each individual is very unique in the way they form perception. As human beings, we share similar feelings and pains but our narratives are unique.
And the unconscious mind is all about the narratives, the stories that are strongly attached to beliefs that then makes us behave in a certain way. And this is a tricky part because we are normally unaware of these beliefs and we were not taught how to observe what thoughts are creating our feelings and vice versa.
Therapy helps the individual become aware of the narrative so we can understand the beliefs that are attached to them. By learning the associations made by the unconscious we can start a process of changing the narrative so your unconscious can work for you in a way that will serve you better.
Instead of labelling people and using pre-written scripts, our approach uses the uniqueness of each individual to create customised hypnotic suggestions.

Problems are unique and so are the solutions” subheadline=”Another crucial difference between Cognitive Hypnotherapy and traditional hypnosis is that we work in a way to help the individual find the solution according to their own truth.
Here at MF Holistic Therapies, we combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an intuitive process that comes from the heart chakra. We guide the individual to tap into their inner guru or wisdom so they can find their inner truth and the best solution to their problem.
Then, we use their own solution to the problem in a hypnotic way to accelerate the process. Because it comes from their inner guidance, the unconscious has very little resistance towards it, which allows for a rapid and deeply transformative experience.

We’ll analyse exactly how you experience it and the effect it has on your life and what you would like to achieve according to your inner guidance.
From there, we’ll design your personal treatment programme together to ensure that we work in a way that suits you best.
Sessions won’t be only about going in a trance or a relaxed state of mind. Here at MF Holistic Therapies, we integrate the practice with breathing exercises and other modalities that come from Yoga therapy to help the nervous system to detoxify and release traumas and emotions that have been stuck there for a long time. The combination of these approaches allows for long lasting change.
How fast it works depends on the individual but most people start to see results from the 3rd session. A minimum of 4 sessions is recommended and for long lasting/permanent results the average ranges from 4 to 6 sessions. Depending on the case, it can take up to 8 sessions.
Even though many people see results after 3 sessions, it’s important to carry on with the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it takes up to three months to rewire the brain and to a new behaviour become automatic.
