Why It Is So Good

Faster, more effective than any other therapy

Hypnotherapy works. Not only is it far more effective than traditional psychotherapy, counselling or behaviour therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) a making changes that last, it’s also much faster. Many of our specialists were first trained in CBT and NLP, but now they only use hypnotherapy in practice for this very reason.

Hypnosis is the most potent natural agent for change that we have. Scientifically proven for over 200 years and used since the times of the ancient Greeks, hypnosis combined with therapy has been used for almost all physical and psychological issues.

Many clinical studies have shown that hypnotherapy can be incredibly successful for painless surgery (even amputations), stopping smoking, losing weight, phobias, accelerated learning, stress management and acute pain relief. It is also the only documented successful therapy approved by the United Kingdom’s NHS for IBS.

Less is more

Hypnosis works and it works far more effectively and faster than traditional psychotherapy and cognitive therapy according to a large scale review of the literature and large scale study findings comparing these three therapy disciplines.

A survey of psychotherapy literature by Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D.¹ in America Health Magazine revealed the following recovery rates:

• Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions

• Behaviour Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions

• Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

He also noted the interesting point that success rates decreased with the number of session and said "At first sight this seems paradoxical. However, if a form of therapy is truly effective, it should not only increase recovery rate, but also shorten the number of sessions necessary (as well as widen the range of cases treatable)."

Fast, permanent, effective sexual relief

One large scale study, Richardson (1963), reported in his sample of 76 frigidity cases, all of which were able to go into hypnosis, that 94.7% of the patients improved. Furthermore only 1–2 sessions were required, with the average number of sessions being 1.53.

Improvement was judged by an increase in percentage of orgasms, and increased from a pre-treatment average of 24% to 84% post-treatment. Only two patients could not recreate the same number of orgasms post-treatment in the study follow up.

Richardson’s treatment methods were similar to the advanced techniques that we use in practice - a combination of regression and traditional direct hypnosis.

A common sense approach that works -“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

There are various styles of hypnotherapy on the market. Some more effective than others. All The Love Rooms audio MP3s are based on traditional hypnosis. It is a tried and tested formula that delivers the best results.

This research is over 40 years old and has not been able to be challenged. Its findings demonstrate that traditional, direct hypnosis is the still the best way to make permanent change. Modern hypnotherapists talk about latest and cutting edge techniques without checking their success rates.

For the hypnosis buffs among you, researchers have debated for years about whether direct or indirect hypnosis is more effective and none have reached a satisfactory conclusion. Barrios' findings demonstrated an average 93% success rate using traditional direct hypnosis. Beware of other claims which could be clever marketing and simply inaccurate. Given the vast amount of people studied, this research is very strong.

Common sense, which so many people forget to apply these days, suggests that direct, clear instructions are more likely to be understood and followed than instructions riddled with hidden and disguised meanings. The direct approach is particularly effective over time and the cumulative effects maximises their impact.
