What makes a therapist good? What sets one apart from another? Finding a good therapist can be a bit of a minefield, but here are a few simple ways to find a good one. Let me explain, how to find a good therapist.
I think it’s important to look at the differences between speaking, talking, hearing and listening. Most people don’t listen with the intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply.
Speaking is producing sounds from your mouth whether you are saying something important or not.
Talking is the interaction between an individual and another where responses are commonly expected whether meaningful or not.
Hearing is receiving sound around you without the need to understand it.
Listening is the act of comprehending the message of the sounds you are absorbing.
A good Therapist listens, understands and helps you find the tools you already possess to help you get the best from yourself.
A good therapist is not there to offer advice or personal opinions and must be unbiased and non-judgmental.
I believe that it’s imperative for anyone seeking a therapist to find rapport, to work with someone who you have confidence in, who you can confide in, and who you feel you can trust. If you don’t feel comfortable or fully at ease with your chosen therapist then move on. Keep searching until you find someone you connect with, the end result will be that you will have found what it is that makes a good therapist, for you.
Therapy has lost all stigma (if indeed it had any in the first place) There is no stigma in seeking help for emotional and mental wellness. There has never been any stigma attached to seeking help for a physical complaint, so why should our mental health be any different?
Clinical Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy used to readjust the subconscious mind. When in hypnosis, you put your mind and body into a heightened state of learning, making your mind more open to positive suggestion for self-improvement or behaviour modification. The goal is to rebalance the subconscious and conscious mind allowing them to work together in harmony, which in turn helps give you greater control over your behaviour, emotions and physical wellbeing.
Some forms of therapy can take many sessions and even many years to uncover problems, the paths which led to them and past life events, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy concentrates on finding solutions to your problems in the present time and exploring ways in which to solve your problems in real time. This method takes the approach that you know what you need to do to improve your own life and, with the appropriate coaching and questioning, are capable of finding the best solutions to improve or alleviate your symptoms yourself.
Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of deep sleep. It involves the induction of an induced state of deep relaxation. In hypnosis you are acutely aware, concentrated and focused and it is in this state that the conscious mind can relax and stay calm and become more responsive to positive suggestions, ideas, concepts and lifestyle changes.
