I would conceptualise therapeutic hypnosis as probably one of the most flexible and effective interventions available to help people get better sleep. Published peer review literature and a wide body of research demonstrates the evidence to support the benefits of hypnosis in aiding sleep. There are many effective interventions/techniques available that are easily implemented with clients.
The following is a short list of sleep disorders on which hypnosis can have a positive beneficial effect, ultimately leading to a healthy lifestyle. Hypnotic intervention can be as flexible as needed to meet the client where they are at and take them to where they want to go to.
· Restlessness and Difficulty Falling Asleep
· Insomnia for Long Periods of Time
· Waking-UP and Not Being Able To Return To Sleep.
Providing services to clients can be based in the context that interventions are modelled and developed from a bank of available research and knowledge based evidence.
The overwhelming evidence is that hypnosis can help clients overcome insomnia, enjoy better rest, avoid waking up, or any other sleep related problems. In marketing –“sleep hypnosis” services – great emphasis can be placed on sleep contributing to a healthy lifestyle. The value of hypnosis therapy is that clients get to make the change they have come to therapy for, comfortably and easily. During the intake of a client, the therapist has the ability to structure a hypnosis session that truly meets the clients needs and alleviate that which brought them to the therapists office in the first place.
