This may also be described as 'Analytical Therapy'. Briefly, in hypno-analysis we find the root cause of the problem or symptom and remove it, thus giving a lasting release to the client. This is what is known as 'Cause and Effect'- we get to the originating cause of the presenting symptom. Analysis reveals the cause and consequently relieves the symptom. This moment of liberating enlightenmentmay come at any time during the course of therapy,however, usually at around session five or six.One can be reasonably confident that the release will be obtained within eight to ten sessions.
Analytical hypnotherapy is that branch of psychotherapy that investigates the client's innermost conflict,trauma and distress at the deepest psychic levels in order to bring about resolution and beneficial change. This form of therapy is, essentially, an insight oriented method akin to psychodynamic** methodology in that it draws out from the client that which is debilitating and unfruitful and that which hinders his/her personal development. Analytical hypnotherapy will allow the client,therefore, to grow emotionally, to mature psychically and to fulfil his/her own true potential in life.
**Psychodynamic therapy is a means of investigating the client's recollections and perceptions of life experiences in order to identify where the nuggets of psychological trauma and distress have been lodged. It is assumed that the root cause of any presenting problem has been buried deeply in the client's unconscious mind and that this inertia will need to be uprooted and resolved before he/she can gain any lasting relief from symptoms. The aim of psychodynamic therapy will be to empower the client to undergo a process of maturation in which his/her unconscious mind will come into touch with his/her conscious mind in order to achieve a harmonious enlightenment and a balancing effect.
What is Psychodynamic Therapy?
The term ''psychodynamic'' denotes the active forces within the personality that motivate behaviour and the inner causes of behaviour ( in particular the unconscious conflict between the different structures that compose the whole personality). Whilst Freud's was the original psychodynamic theory, the approach includes all those theories based on his ideas, such as those of Jung, Adler and Erikson.
