The Clinical Hypnotherapy Birthing Programme
What is it ? – Hypnosis assisted birthing is a relaxing, stress-free method of birthing. When we release the fear that is keeping our body tense and closed, we can more easily experience gentle birth.
The Clinical Hypnotherapy Birthing programme is a series of individual therapy sessions working with a woman and her partner. The programme includes techniques and training for relaxation and self-hypnosis, natural anesthesia. We explore birthing myths and birthing practices in other cultures, how your body works naturally for you, and other techniques to produce a shorter, more comfortable labour.
How does it work ? – Therapy sessions are tailored for each client based on their individual. The initial interview helps to identify areas of concern and what the clients really want and believe is possible for them. A birthing plan is established based on identified factors.
Worry and concern acts as “negative self-hypnosis”. The negative self-talk you allow in your mind about what might happen at your baby’s birth, can cause great stress and anxiety. You learn how your body will work for you … naturally … instinctively … just as it has been designed and made to do.
What do I need to be hypnotised ? – Hypnosis techniques empower men and women to feel confident, successful and hopeful. Three factors contribute to this success: a willingness to be hypnotized, a desire to discuss and understand the process, and the ability to follow simple instructions.
What about my midwife, doctor, obstetrician ? – Your therapist works as part of your birth team. When you have decided that this programme is for you and your birth, the hypnotherapist helps you … and the rest of the team to prepare for what you want.
So what happens for us ? – Well, if you have made the commitment to give birth to your baby as naturally as possible … then you deserve the highest possible chance of success. Hypnotherapy transforms any worry, fear and concern you are feeling. You are provided with tools that enable you to achieve the relaxation and confidence necessary for a calm, peaceful, positive and natural birth.
Hypnotherapy can reduce stress, increase confidence and instil a sense of calm and control. This in turn will enable you to maximize your chances of giving birth naturally and comfortably.
