Support at Christmastime

As the holiday season approaches, a local hypnotherapist ‘Liane Ulbricht-Kazan’ is highlighting how hypnotherapy can help people who might be anticipating a less than happy Christmas.

Depression and anxiety are on the increase in the UK and for some people, the festive season exacerbates this.  Typical sources of holiday stress can include trying to balance all the demands of family with shopping and the social engagements, unrealistic expectations, financial worries, relationship tension, bereavement and missed loved ones.  There’s been a lot of talk in recent times of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) too.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) can help by assisting people to overcome negative thinking styles while in a safe, supportive environment.  It uses practical, modern and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time.

SFH therapists look at what the client wants to achieve rather than on the problem(s) that prompted them to seek change. The approach focuses on the present and future and not on the past. This enables the client to identify possible solutions themselves and work towards them.  Hypnosis itself reduces anxiety and this is done very simply through relaxation and visualization, allowing the client to focus on the positive aspects of their lives that encourages a shift in perspective.  Contrary to popular myth, Hypnotherapy won’t make you do anything you do not really want to.

Liane practices in Bristol (Clifton) & Gloucestershire (Naiolsworth & Berkeley).  For further information about Hypnotherapy, or to book a free initial consultation, please call 07825286550 or visit Liane’s website www.changeswelcome.co.uk.
