How can Affect Hypnotherapy help you?

 

Seeking treatment is always an individual choice. For this reason, we have included in this website all the necessary information so that you can understand the context of this psychotherapeutic method. 

There are many reasons why people come to biothymic psychotherapy. Sometimes it's about dealing with long-term psychological issues or problems with anxiety and depression. Other times you are due to major changes in their lives that are very difficult for them to manage.

If you feel uncomfortable with any aspect of yourself, or feel that 'something' is holding you back from reaching your full potential in life, then this can almost always be due to dysfunctional programming learned from childhood.

Affect Hypnotherapy will provide you with the knowledge and necessary psychoeducation to understand what matters at the subconscious level of the mind. Affect Hypnotherapy can help with many types of problems, including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, self-esteem, self-image issues, and general life changes. This therapy is suitable for those interested in getting the most out of their lives by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness and working for effective positive changes in their lives.

​

While many other psychotherapy approaches begin their journey with you based on what IS GOING WRONG or WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, Affect Hypnotherapy wants to start with what IS RIGHT. 

​

Symptom or Cause?

There is a lot of debate in healing circles (and always has been) about how to get to the source of a problem - get to the "root cause". As you go further into this site you will discover that science has found that most of these "sources of our problems" are driven by even more subtle emotional influences. Thus, biothymic therapy is concerned with redressing deeper emotional causes, which ultimately lead to many of the symptoms and problems we see in therapy today.
Consequently, biothymic focuses on the cause rather than the symptom, the primary emotional cause rather than the immediate problematic issues you may be facing today.

​

However, it must be emphasized that biothymic is NOT a retrospective therapy that seeks to uncover the "story" that has been buried in the past. It is a process of reframing, attuning and starting an adaptation to the present, the here and now.

​

Treating symptoms by focusing on their causes.

Clients who have completed a course of biothymic therapy report successful outcomes in addressing a wide variety (and often a combination) of psychological, behavioral, and emotional symptoms. This also includes many physical symptoms.

This is not surprising when we consider the scientifically proven connection between our physical body and our individual emotional plexus (how we have learned to unconsciously react to situations on an emotional level). The underlying emotional response patterns (emotions or emotions) have a direct impact on the state, well-being and balance of our physical bodies.

The parts of our brain that activate when we feel an emotion automatically send signals to the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) which then sends chemical messages throughout our body. The ANS controls every organ and physical subsystem (respiration, circulation, metabolism, hormones and immune system) and allows us to respond without thinking about our situation, including any threat or danger. This is an unconscious defense mechanism.

So, for example, when you feel "angry," your breathing becomes shallow and fast, you feel flushed and sweaty, your heart pounds, your muscles tense, and you feel a tightness in your stomach.

In addition to this, the ANS is also structured to maintain physical balance. When the situation that made us "angry" has passed, the ANS automatically balances or re-tunes those bodily subsystems that received signals to respond and work harder.

However, when the unconscious emotional response patterns we were taught early in life—and which are no longer helpful or protective—continually stimulate our ANS, they lead us to develop an emotionally induced physical imbalance. Due to the continued inefficient functioning of important body systems we can then develop a wide variety of physical symptoms that do not appear to have an organic cause. These are often referred to as psychosomatic and can often be successfully treated with biothymic psychotherapy.

In addition to resolving the underlying cause of the symptoms listed below, many clients report that their overall sense of well-being and sense of self-worth continue to improve significantly after the sessions.
