Short description
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you recognise the inter-relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and resultant behaviours. Most people try to change their lives by trying to change other people, events and circumstances. People however are disturbed not by things but by their view of things. The key to the cognitive behavioral approach is that it links your thoughts about people events, things or situations with how you react and behave when you have these thoughts. The therapist helps you become conscious of these patterns and stimulates experimenting with new ways of thinking about them. This form of counselling is now being embraced by the Government and NHS as the best way to achieve results. It has proven itself to be very effective with a limited number of sessions, especially compared to older styles of psychotherapy.
Hypnotherapy is sometimes used by Frank as a support to CBT. Very often you may know logically (head) that a thought is unhelpful to inappropriate behaviours. But feeling this at a deeper level (heart) contradicts this. Hypnotherapy is very useful to bypass your conscious mind and communicate directly with your subconscious mind. By discovering the blocks that are causing this difference Hypnotherapy can enable what you think to be the same as what you feel.
