Hypnotherapy
We are pleased to be able to offer our patients Hypnotherapy from a local professional called Emma Armes who we have recently welcomed to our team.Hypnosis is a still underused but powerful non-pharmacological tool in dentistry. It has been shown to help patients with dental anxiety and phobia as well as those with a severe gag reflex. Due to its non chemical nature, hypnotherapy can be used in cases where there are existing medical conditions, offering a risk free alternative. Or in cases where other forms of behavioural techniques may have failed.
Hypnosis can only be carried out on an individual who is willing to give the therapist their co-operation. During hypnosis the patient is not asleep, only relaxed, comfortable, focused, and in a state of daydream type thinking. The analysing, thinking mind (Conscious mind) is turned off and the feeling and intuitive and creative mind (Subconscious) is aware of everything that is going on.
Under hypnosis the root cause of your issue is found, dealt with and then released for good, allowing you to move forward. You can also be taught a simple, yet effective, self-hypnosis technique to allow you to stay calm and relaxed in stressful situations. Hypnosis can not only help you conquer dental fears but has shown to improve mental well-being in many areas of life.
Emma can help you with anxiety, fears and phobias about dental treatments by using a blend of clinical hypnosis, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
Emma is registered with both the General Hypnotherapy Register and the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council and is fully insured for her practice.
