Russell Davis – Cognitive Hypnotherapist

Stress is on the increase.  Self Hypnosis can be highly effective in reducing anxiety and stress.  Below are two examples of research studies in this area.

In a research study involving over 100 patients suffering from stress-related conditions it was found that 75% felt their symptoms were improving after 12 weeks of self-hypnosis practice, within one year 72% of the group reported complete remission of their symptoms as a result of the self-hypnosis. (Maher-Loughnan, G.P. 1980, “Hypnosis: Clinical application of hypnosis in medicine’, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 23: 447-55).

A study of 20 individuals compared the use of self-hypnosis and relaxation therapy in managing anxiety over 28 days. Both groups were shown to have achieved significant reduction in psychological and physical symptoms of anxiety. However, the self-hypnosis group exhibited greater confidence in the positive effects of the treatment, higher expectation of success, and greater degrees of cognitive and physical improvement. (Lucy O’Neill, Amanda Barnier, & Kevin McConkey, ‘Treating Anxiety with self-hypnosis and relaxation’, Contemporary Hypnosis, 1999, vol. 16 (2): 68).

But what is anxiety?  What is stress?   We all experience our situations in a unique way because we are unique.  How one person experiences anxiety can be very different to someone else.  How one person relaxes can be very stressful for someone else!  That is what I do have any set hypnosis scripts for my clients.  I treat each client as an individual.
