Hypnotherapy

 Agoraphobia is one of the most debilitating of all phobias. The comes from a deep fear of unfamiliar or potentially uncomfortable situations, and can grow to the point where a sufferer becomes a shut-in. If you suffer from agoraphobia, you do not need let this condition dominate you. You can learn about this phobia and find out how to overcome it by using hypnosis therapy.

The word agoraphobia literally means “fear of the marketplace,” but sufferers may feel nervous in any location with a crowd. These situations are typically public areas or unfamiliar areas away from home. Sufferers may be scared of spending time in lines, shopping centers, airplanes, restaurants, or any location where they might not feel completely secure.

People with agoraphobia are scared of having panicky feelings or anxiety attacks in a situation where it would be hard or impossible for them to escape. Agoraphobics usually lead happy and normal lives in the settings where they feel comfortable, even visiting with guests and conducting business from the comfort of their own homes. Unfortunately, the phobia can be so severe that sometimes the afflicted will only feel secure in extremely confined areas. One recently publicized case revealed a woman whose phobia was so extreme that she did not emerge from her bathroom for years, endangering her own health as a result.

Agoraphobia often arises from other anxiety disorders and fears. For example, sufferers of social phobia may have agoraphobia as well because they are nervous about having to interact with other people. It may also result from traumatic incidents such as having had an accident far from home. Veterans of war frequently develop the condition along with post-traumatic stress disorder. It affects people of either gender, although it is thought that agoraphobia occurs more frequently amongst women.

People with agoraphobia might feel that they risk humiliating themselves if they go out in public and experience a panic attack. It is often embarrassing for a person to experience symptoms such as nervous breakdowns, trembling, or sweating and lose their self-control.

Agoraphobia is frequently treated with anti-anxiety medication or counseling. However, it can be quite difficult to treat because sufferers may also have other phobias and root causes for their problems.

The reason why phobia sufferers cannot seem to control their fears is because their emotions are based at the unconscious level. No amount of conscious effort or willpower is entirely effective to suppress a fear that comes from this level within the mind.

The techniques found in Ericksonian hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) are effective on phobias because they operate at the unconscious level of the mind. Hypnotherapy is an ideal treatment option because it is safe and non-invasive, with no negative side effects.

There are Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP programs available on CD that are incredible because they can treat any phobia, or even multiple phobias. It is unnecessary to get a program that deals specifically with each different phobia. This is because a good program will work on the thought process that triggers any phobia. This makes this type of program perfect for many agoraphobic people.

A good multi-session program will offer multiple techniques, which makes the program work for virtually every user. With a step-by-step program, people can overcome their phobias with relative ease.

Achieving a relaxed feeling is the first step in the hypnosis phobia program. As a type of therapy, hypnosis has been used for years for anxiety-relief, allowing even the most panicky people feel calm and relaxed. Once an individual feels calm and relaxed, NLP techniques extinguish a phobia by altering the single thought process that causes it.

Ericksonian hypnotherapy is an innovative type of hypnosis that uses suggestions hidden in a story, conversation, or metaphor to treat fears. Ericksonian hypnotherapy works better than conventional hypnosis because the unconscious mind finds it more difficult to resist suggestions that are not obvious, than simple direct suggestions. Unlike direct suggestions, which simply try to “tell” your unconscious what to do, suggestions that are hidden in stories and metaphors will guide the unconscious into a desired, stress-free thought process.

Those who find themselves scared to leave the house can rediscover their freedom and confidence by trying hypnotic therapy. A program with Ericksonian hypnosis techniques and NLP techniques is ideal for people who want to vanquish their fears for good. Hypnosis therapies produce a huge benefit for sufferers of agoraphobia and other panic disorders.

By gunawan indaviro

 Hipnoterapi anak sekarang mulai dilirik oleh para orang tua dan para praktisi anak-anak. Itu terjadi karena banyak kisah kesuksesan dalam meningkatkan perkembangan anak melalui hipnoterapi anak. Setelah menjalani sesi-sesi hipnoterapi secara rutin, anak-anak dan anak sekolah menunjukkan perkembangan dalam prestasi, konsentrasi bahkan kesehatan anak.

7 Manfaat Hipnoterapi untuk anak-anak dan anak sekolah:

1. Meningkatkan kepercayaan diri anak

Penelitian tentang hipnoterapi anak menyatakan hipnoterapi terbukti meningkatkan kepercayaan diri anak-anak sehingga prestasi mereka di sekolah mulai meningkat. Selain itu setelah menjalani hipnoterapi, anak-anak mulai bisa mengubah emosi negatif mereka menjadi tindakan-tindakan yang positif. Hasilnya, perkembangan anak bukan hanya di bidang pendidikan tapi juga di interaksi social anak ke teman-teman, guru, orang tua dan orang-orang sekitar.

2.Meningkatkan performa pendidikan anak sekolah

Hipnoterapi anak efektif untuk melepaskan pola pikir anak yang negatif. Seorang anak sekolah bisa meraih prestasi yang sangat baik asalkan di dalam dirinya timbul keyakinan bahwa dia memang pintar, disukai dan bisa berprestasi. Hipnoterapi membuat anak sekolah melepaskan hal negatif dari pikiran mereka sehingga kepercayaan diri bisa timbul.

3. Melepaskan depresi anak-anak

Hampir semua anak yang mengalami perceraian orang tuanya akan mengalami depresi. Dari ratusan anak yang saya terapi akibat perceraian orang tuanya, hampir seratus persen mengalami luka batin yang mendalam. Akibatnya, mereka akan selalu mengambil pilihan-pilihan yang salah tentang hidupnya, seperti makan berlebihan, minder, memakai obat-obatan terlarang, seks bebas dan tidak bisa mengaktualisasikan talentanya secara maksimal.

4. Melepaskan gelisah, ketakutan dan phobia anak

Entah mengapa, semakin banyak saja anak-anak dan anak sekolah yang mengalami kegelisahan dan ketakutan yang berlebihan sampai akhirnya bila tidak ditangani dengan baik akan mengarahkan si anak menjadi phobia. Memang, ketakutan-ketakutan anak terkesan ringan seperti anak takut kancing, takut bernyanyi di depan kelas, takut sekolah, dan lain-lain. Namun, bila tidak dilepaskan semua kegelisahan dan ketakutan itu akan berpengaruh negatif pada perkembangan anak. Setelah menjalani sesi-sesi hipnoterapi, anak-anak dan anak sekolah akan bisa melepaskan berbagai ketakutan dan kegelisahan mereka. Mereka bisa berpikir dan bertindak lebih positif.

5. Weight Loss

Jangan anggap remeh fenomena kegemukan pada anak-anak. Bukan hanya berdampak negatif pada kesehatan anak. Tapi celakanya, anak-anak yang mengalami kegemukan akan mengalami kepercayaan diri yang rendah. Akibatnya, mereka jadi minder, merasa tidak pantas dicintai oleh lawan jenisnya sehingga menghambat perkembangan psikologis mereka.

6. Berhenti merokok pada anak-anak

Banyak orang dewasa mengalami kesulitan dalam berhenti merokok. Secara akal sehat, mereka tahu betul resiko merokok dan memiliki dorngan untuk berhenti. Tapi, pada kenyataannya berhenti merokok tidak semudah itu jika tidak mendapatkan bantuan terapi alam bawah sadar. Itu terjadi karena merokok sudah menjadi kebiasaan bagi alam bawah sadar. Kita semua tahu kebiasaan merokok biasanya berawal di masa anak-anak. Karena itu, berhenti merokok saat baru mulai, yaitu masa anak-anak, akan menjadi lebih mudah dibandingkan menghentikannya berpuluh-puluh tahun kemudian.

7. Mengurangi rasa sakit pada anak-anak

Rasa sakit atau pun stress yang dialami oleh anak-anak penderita penyakit tertentu, seperti kanker, bisa sangat menyakitkan dan berulang-ulang. Rasa sakit bisa dikurangi dalam hipnoterapi anak. Sehingga dengan berkurangnya rasa sakit maka tingkat stress mereka akan menurun. Ini akan membuat daya tahan tubuh mereka meningkat.

Hipnoterapi anak efektif dalam meningkatkan perkembangan anak karena hipnosis langsung memasuki pikiran bawah sadar anak-anak. Sehingga program-program negatif yang tertanam di pikiran bawah sadar mereka bisa dilepaskan. Dan program-program kesuksesan bisa mulai ditanamkan sejak dini.
