Self-hypnosis is taught to almost everyone who comes for hypnotherapy with the Internet Therapy Partnership.

Self-hypnosis – sometimes called auto-hypnosis – can be thought of as a form of "D-l-Y hypnosis", a method by which one can take oneself into very relaxed state which is both restful and beneficial, enabling positive, helpful suggestions to be given to the subconscious mind.

Though it might seem this must involves mastering difficult techniques, in fact self-hypnosis †or auto-hypnosis, is surprisingly easy because it is straightforward and simple to understand.

To help develop this skill clients are given training during therapy and emailed an audio file which trains them to go into self-hypnosis quickly and easily. In addition clients are sent a PDF file containing a short explanatory booklet.

Among  the important benefits of auto-hypnosis are that it helps you relax under your own direction while assisting you to progress in your own time with your therapy. 

Using this technique can also help deal with anticipated events, enabling you to prepare or rehearse for them. It helps develop greater self-control and is a skill which you will always be able to use whenever you need it.
