Do you dread a certain month in the year because you just know that you're going to be feeling really bad - yet you don't know why? Or, perhaps you do know - maybe it's a date when you lost someone precious or when something happened to shatter your sense of security?

Whether or not you are consciously aware of the cause, the subconscious mind knows everything which is why it has been triggering those feelings whenever this time of the year comes around.
As your subconscious mind has the ability to trigger those feelings - it also has the power to help you to feel differently so that you can look forward with happy anticipation rather than dread.

Hypnotherapy can make 'anniversary syndrome' a symptom that truly remains where it belongs - in the past.

Bereavement, or the loss of a loved one, can be the most devastating experience one has to cope with. Bereavement, whether of a parent, spouse, child or friend, can severely shake our sense of security.

Bereavement can cause severe feelings of depression and anxiety, and once someone is overwhelmed by those feelings, it can seem impossible at the time to surface and begin living their own life.

​

As the saying goes, "Life goes on" - but does it? Some people can become so severely shaken by the loss of their loved one that they may consider ending their own life - others just give up. This is not an easy subject to deal with; there are several stages of grieving that need to be lived through in order to achieve the ultimate one, which is acceptance.

​

If you want come to terms with bereavement, hypnotherapy can help you.

Losing a parent is one of the most difficult things many of us face at some stage of our lives. It is hard to imagine what our lives will be like once they're gone and the grief can seem insurmountable. As with any bereavement there are stages of grief that we go through and given time, our loss does become easier to live with and indeed, our lives must go on, just as our parents would want.

Somehow it seems easier to accept when we anticipate the end is near, as with old age and infirmity, but grief still hits home hard and sometimes you need an outsider to help come to terms with the loss.

It is important to remember the possible consequences that feelings of loneliness can result in - i.e. depression, self-abuse, withdrawal - even suicide - which is why it is essential that we do our very best to help those who are experiencing loneliness.

​

Hypnotherapy can help you - in a therapeutic setting - to overcome your feelings of loneliness and turn your life into one of joy and sharing.

The thought of losing one's child is every parent's nightmare and the grief they are experiencing can only be imagined by most of us who haven't had the experience to lose a child of our own. However if you are suffering from the accompanied emotions and grief you will need a strategy to help.

​

Whilst it's unlikely that a parent could ever get over such a loss, in time we can come to accept it. In the early days the pain is still raw. However, hypnotherapy can offer a stepping stone to acceptance and eventual recovery.

If you have moved away from home, and in particular, if you have left loved ones behind, then you will no doubt miss your old home, family and familiar surroundings.

​

Many children feel homesick when they first go on holiday without their parents. However, adults who feel the same way can find it difficult to integrate as well as they could, and this can spoil the enjoyment of what could be a wonderful new opportunity for them.

​

Instead of dwelling on your old way of life, you can begin to feel more optimistic about your new home, which will help you in those early settling in days.

Quite often you may experience feelings of guilt associated with 'not being there' at the time. This can lead to feelings of depression, excessive crying and an inability to come to terms with the loss of the loved one.

​

Hypnotherapy can help you to move on from your loss while at the same time, gain comfort from your loved one's spiritual presence.

When someone we love dies, grief can take on many forms. Many will ask why it happened and wonder if they could have done anything to prevent it. They will perhaps even blame themselves as they go through the different stages of grief.

​

When we blame ourselves to the extent that it interferes with normal life, it is known as 'Survivor's Guilt'. It doesn't matter how many times a person is told that it wasn't their fault, because the belief is deeply rooted on a subconscious level.

​

Hypnotherapy can help to correct those mistaken beliefs so that you can heal from your loss and overcome the grief you are experiencing.
