Ian Walshaw

Profile

My name is Ian Walshaw , and I am a full-time professional hypnotherapist and pure - hypnoanalyst.

There are two main types of hypnotherapy: suggestion therapy, and analytical hypnotherapy (sometimes called hypnoanalysis). Suggestion therapy only takes one or two sessions, and is ideal for: stopping smoking, exam nerves, getting on a flight, driving tests etc.... More

Hypnoanalysis, is a very short course of psychotherapy used in conjunction with hypnosis and takes about 8 sessions. It has amazing results at totally resolving: anxiety, depression, phobias and fears, weight issues, sexual problems, IBS, obsessions and much more...

Further Information

Its quite amazing how events in our childhood and our personality type cloud our view of life. Those events and emotions are the key to the choices we make as adults when choosing a partner for ourselves. If we are hurting inside then many of us will sub-consciously attract someone who is also is pain so that we can focus on them and in turn ignore our own feelings. I really do believe that many of us are carrying around emotional baggage and when we find ourselves going through a difficult time then we cant seem to react in a rational way because our emotions are being triggered by the those past events. What makes it more incredible is that the majority of us arent even consciously aware of what those events were We may be able to think back into our past and recall an event that caused us pain and we can look at it from an adult point of view but when the event happened we were only children and just werent able to process it so we - bottled it up. That very emotion, when it is found and re-experienced is the same emotion that frees us and heals us from our phobias, IBS, anxieties, stutters, stammers, depression, eating disorders, low-self esteem and irrational fears. That my friend is the real phenomenon behind hypno-analysis. I am sure that most of you reading this, are very wary and a little surprised that Hypnotherapy can help sort out unwanted emotions - I know that I was. My only knowledge of it was stage hypnosis and I thought that it just made people look like idiots! How wrong I was - not of the stage hypnotists (my views are still the same)) but of the whole phenomenon surrounding hypnotherapy. You see, when youre completely relaxed (hypnotised) and feel safe with your analyst all of your senses are heightened and your ability to recall events naturally through free association are much greater. You can access memories, experiences and most importantly emotions and my favourite saying is that When you feel it you heal it. It does however, take time and commitment - both financial and emotional that is, but when you think about counselling in a traditional way it can take many years to feel the benefits. Hypno-analysis takes a fraction of the time somewhere between 6 and 12 weekly sessions. I can really talk from experience as one of the pre-requisites/conditions of qualifying for this superb association is that you have to go through your own personal therapy.



If you can accept what I have said above then you really are on your way to changing your view of the world Its almost looking at life through a fresh pair of eyes and it truly is the most incredible gift you can give yourself. Removing (excessive) destructive emotions, like anger, fear and guilt, changes your perspective on life and changes every relationship you have, from your partner to children to family and to friends. When you really do love and respect yourself then you find that people will love and respect you too.
