Hypnosis for settling into a new place

Whether you’re moving from one residence to another or simply changing up bedrooms in your home we all experience sensations of ‘the unfamiliar’ when readjusting to a new sleep situation, hypnosis can help!

For myself, as a hypnotherapist; I have come to understand the medicinal value of truly feeling ‘at home’ and the negative impact of feeling unsettled can have on my Client’s nervous system and overall health and wellbeing.

Self-inflicted house moves as my young adult Self who’s Mother and her husband kindly (exhaustedly, as they remember it) assisted moving me from rental to rental on a 6 monthly basis for a significant period of time, it’s safe to say I barely settled before another impending move. It was costly for a start and not just from a material sense.

So much of how well we do the outside world and make decisions depends on how well we’re able to be our deeply authentic self at home, to rest intentionally and wake feeling steady, strong and agile.

To mentally form a new relationship with a house takes time and if I was to search back into those times, it possibly didn’t occur in many of the number of living arrangements I found myself in but when I did it felt great.

So back to this idea of Hypnosis for settling into a new place, why would hypnosis help? I’m glad you asked. It has become clear to me that hypnotherapy client’s are often, but not always, at a crossroads when they arrange an appointment. Something doesn’t feel easy, right or natural and they’re seeking out support to filter through their ideas, worries, motivations and/or unwanted habits or addictions that are getting in the way of feeling settled.

Unfortunately we don’t have to look far to find evidence that home is not always a safe place for many and giving these family members some quick, useful hypnosis techniques to steady their nervous systems’ and create snippets of peace is invaluable for their ability to sustain their ability to care and love those close to them.

To feel settled is human nature, to feel safe to relax and let go of the graces that we offer the outside world. To feel at home is to notice the familiar creaks of the floors, the natural scents of our freshly washed clothing and the reassuring sensations of our pillow and the position of the bed.

With that couple of sentences you have received a moment of induced hypnosis. You have allowed yourself to go to your place of uninterrupted safety, comfort and ease. Providing you with a template or hologram to overlay into a new house, place of accommodation or couch if that be your situation at present.

This process is very useful for children with anxieties especially when they’re attempting their first sleepover for example. Sending them with their own pillow is a natural comforter for children and adults alike, as we’re all our childhood self inside after all.

With that, if you’re having difficulties sleeping, settling into a new place or having to adjust to a new way of living Hypnosis can help.

MS Relief with Hypnosis

The role of Hypnotherapist is a very rewarding one. Here are some words from a wonderful woman I've been fortunate enough to meet.

Since my early teens I have had a gut disease and this has created other issues as I have grown older including IBS and being overweight. In 2014 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and this brought my world crashing down, exaggerated my existing conditions and adding new ones.  As a sensitive, born worrier, anxiety was creeping into my everyday life and I wanted to find a way to control what I could control.  I kept coming back to hypnotherapy.
​
I googled hypnotherapists who were registered with the AHA and liked the sound of Ange and felt her credentials matched the issues I was trying to deal with.  With an open mind I went to my first visit and left with so much more than I expected.
​
Forget the media stereotype.  I shared my problems with Ange and when I was under hypnosis she gave me tools to deal with those problems.  At no stage was I out of control or not in charge while under hypnosis.  This is a big misunderstanding in the public about hypnotherapy and one I have defended since to others that have suggested that I was not fully hypnotised if I can remember or was aware of what was going on.
​
After my first visit I left feeling drained but calm.  I felt really comfortable with Ange and was so glad I made the visit.  Her genuine concern, research and follow up went above and beyond and I felt (for the first time in a long time) that I was being dealt as an individual and not a “textbook case”.  I ended up sharing much more with Ange than I ever set out to do and this is still having a positive effect on my well being.

It took a few weeks for me to realise the subtle improvements.  My relationship with food choices and control is improving and this has helped with my health in many areas.  I’m still working on the weight loss but I now looking at that as a lifelong goal of management!  To be honest I have learnt now to recognise when my body is full and act on it.  Knowing and doing are two different things and the mantra Ange shared with me and I continue to live by is to “eat no more, no less” than my body requires.  I still need more improvement but I am moving forward!

One of the most positive outcomes that slowly emerged was a change in a long standing difficult relationship that I had endured all my life and couldn’t cope with.  All my anxiety fell away and I was able to let go of the past and move forward in a more relaxed and less uptight manner.  I did not expect this to happen and now look forward to having those relationships again.  I can’t put a price on this and have no other explanation other than hypnotherapy brought about this change.
​
My experience with Ange has been nothing but positive and I hope to continue visiting whenever I am in the South of the state. I thank you Ange for the care you have shown and continue to show me.

It has been a pleasure collaborating with Jenny to relieve her distress and create change in her wellbeing and perception of her good life.  Thank you!
