CBH - Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy
Developed by the London based psychotherapist, Avy Joseph, CBH is based on the Albert Ellis model of CBT... Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. (REBT) is an approach of counselling and psychotherapy that falls within the cognitive-behavioural therapeutic tradition (CBT) In fact REBT is generally recognised as the first CBT approach.
The theory underpinning it says that it is not events or circumstances in life that disturb us but rather the view and beliefs that we hold about them. To put it more simply, we don't just get upset but upset ourselves by holding unhealthy beliefs.
The unhealthy belief contains irrational demands either about ourselves, other people or the world in general.
The beliefs lie waiting to be summoned in the unconscious mind.
We may not recognise them as beliefs but we are affected emotionally.
We make demands about:
Ourselves
I must do well and have the love and approval of others or I'm no good as a person
Other People
Other people must treat me well and be kind to me, and if they don't they are no good and deserve to be punished
The World
I must get what I want and when I don't it's awful, life's a bitch and I can't bear it
These kinds of beliefs can lead to anxiety, self-depreciation, depression, anger, self-pity and procrastination, all depending on the unhealthy belief.
Each time you unconsciously make one of these demands you find yourself reacting emotionally and it can be very painful.
This is restricting the quality of your life and stopping you from growing emotionally.
But you don't have to be stuck with these unhealthy beliefs. You really do have a choice. With help you can learn how to change the irrational unhealthy beliefs into alternative healthy ones. This is the goal of Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy
Once the unhealthy belief has been identified it can be weakened and replaced by a healthy belief that is in keeping with good psychological health. It requires some work from you to you to change the unhealthy belief into a healthy one and you will need to practice. Rest assured though, you will have my support.
CBH is a goal-focused therapy undertaken both in and out of hypnosis. It can be helpful in a variety of problems. It teaches a philosophy for rational living and psychological good health.
I trained with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis in Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy and you can experience the therapy with or without hypnosis.
