This is because Hypnotherapy literally 'gets to the bottom' of what ails you.

By this I mean that Hypnotherapy goes beyond the conscious thoughts, fears and concerns you are aware of, and goes underneath these to the subconscious mind. 

By addressing the subconscious mind, we can truly find what the issues are, and they may not be what you think. We can address direct with the subconscious what needs to be done to ensure that your issues are dealt with once and for all, and it is amazing how it responds!

A useful example is stopping smoking, where everyone knows how bad this is for you, and if it were as simple as understanding this consciously, there would be no smokers left in the world. Subconsciously, however, you may wish to keep smoking because you feel that this is the only way you will ever feel relaxed now and in the future. Once we can speak to the subconscious and explain the many different ways you can continue to stay relaxed without the help of nicotine, and make it clear that this is what you want, the changes can take place very quickly indeed. 

Sometimes you are not sure what brought on a problem and what it relates to, and Hypnotherapy is very good for this also, enabling us to travel through your subconscious, where all information is stored, to the point in time to where and issue first became an issue, and thereby being able to change your responses to this.

These techniques are not only useful for psychological and emotional issues like phobias of spiders, but physical problems such as allergies and blushing. 

Past Life Regression is a similar technique that takes further back through time. This is an interesting area of therapy, with differing theories on what is actually happening during the regression - is it your own memories from this life, but which you cannot remember having? or is it truly travelling back through time to a lifetime before this one?

The most intriguing aspects of it are that, as has been well documented, Past Life Regression Therapy works where other therapies fail. And you do not have to believe in past lives and/or reincarnation for it to work.
