Restful sleep is undoubtedly important. It provides the necessary rest for the entire body, especially for the brain. It processes what has been learned, repairs damaged cells and strengthens the immune system. The hormone melatonin, which is mostly released during sleep, probably plays an important role in this. During the night your body is actually working overtime.<\/p>\n
When things are going well in life, we sleep about a third of the time. However, people sleep as their life circumstances allow. The reasons for not being able to fall asleep, not sleeping through the night, lying awake in the middle of the night can vary individually. They range from past events to current pressures and stress. Anyone who knows the feeling from just a few days of sleep deprivation can imagine what this means for those suffering from chronic insomnia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Every year, more than 4.5 million packs of sleeping pills are sold in Swiss pharmacies. This figure hints at the enormous suffering of those affected by insomnia. Sleeping pills provide short-term relief but can be addictive and can even intensify the problem if taken over a longer period of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201eI haven’t slept through the night in years. I can\u2019t deal with this any longer!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201eI close my eyes and the my mind begins to spin. I just can’t switch it off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201eIn the morning I feel like I’ve been through a meat grinder.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201eI can’t concentrate at work anymore. It scares me. What if I lose my job?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201eI don\u2019t have any energy left.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201eI feel drained and have no desire to do anything anymore.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sleeping can be learned (again). Only a few sessions of hypnotherapy and coaching are often enough to identify the underlying causes of insomnia, to give your body the relaxation it needs and to experience restful nights and energized days again.<\/p>\n Contact me! As a former bad sleeper, I know from my own experience how it feels. Today I can describe myself as a happy deep sleeper who only rarely wakes up from my own snoring \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 01<\/p>\n The first step into unknown territory is often not easy and requires courage. I consider it a good idea to have a short conversation over the phone before your first personal visit to my practice in Walchwil, at your house, or online. The purpose is to find out your concerns and goals and to discuss the preparation for your first visit and possible future collaboration. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and understood in the context of our cooperation.<\/p>\n This call lasts about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 02<\/p>\n Whether in person or online, the preliminary conversation focuses on getting to know each other and getting an in-depth understanding of the issue, your history, your life circumstances and your goals. You can lean back and relax. Here, your concerns may be “put on the table” and we will discuss the next steps. I invite you to ask me any questions you may still have regarding hypnosis therapy, coaching or mentoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n A typical preliminary session lasts about 60 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 03<\/p>\n What should you bring along?<\/strong><\/p>\n Motivation and the will to make a healthy change, coupled with a positive attitude and curiosity. In addition, it is also beneficial if you come to me at your own request. If you have a cold, please bring your nose and mouth protection (face mask) from home. It is recommended to refrain from caffeinated drinks 24 hours before the sessions. You should wear comfortable clothes, and after the sessions, allow yourself a little rest.<\/p>\n Each session lasts approximately 60-75 minutes. In some cases, it may be longer (in consultation with the client).<\/p>\n What can you expect from me?<\/b><\/p>\n Empathy, attention, reliability, and methodical competence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 04<\/p>\n Depending on the topic, it is useful to start the week after our preliminary conversation. Sometimes just a few sessions are enough to notice the desired changes, but sometimes it takes longer. At the beginning, the interval between the sessions should be short, ideally one week. If some things have already been resolved and the pressure of suffering has decreased, then intervals of two to three weeks make sense. In case of irritable bowel syndrome and pain management, I advise you individually. Everything you always wanted to know about hypnotherapy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The trance is induced by specific speech and behavioural patterns. During hypnosis verbal repetitions and mental images are used by the therapist. Your focus and concentration are significantly increased. This makes you more open to engage in experiences. As a result, you can usually reach your therapy goals faster. Hypnotic trance causes you to be particularly attentive and (typically) pleasantly relaxed at the same time. You hear your therapist\u2019s voice, are aware of and alert to everything around you. You can also speak to the therapist or communicate non-verbally. Your consciousness is not switched off but calmed. You can choose to open your eyes and stand up at any time. Afterwards you remember everything that happened during the hypnosis.<\/p>\n Hypnotherapy is usually done with closed eyes. However, some treatments can also be carried out with open eyes. This can be, for example, a concentrated state during a conversation between you and the therapist (coach). The permissive approach (often referred to as Ericksonian Hypnotherapy) has proven to be very helpful in hypnosis. Here the unconscious is invited to join in and choose the path it wants to take. The hypnotic suggestions are thus usually not used directly but packed into stories. The conscious mind often does not understand these hypnotic stories at all, but they go directly to the subconscious. The choice to get involved is very important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n No. People who choose hypnosis typically do not come to lose control, but quite the opposite: to gain control. Namely, over parts of their life where they have had little control. Hypnosis helps you to remain the \u201cmaster of your senses\u201d. It can also help you to find new ways to access your feelings. For many, this is a crucial step to achieve their goals with hypnotherapy. In any case, you always have full control over what you say and do in a session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Let me reassure you: you only disclose what you want to and what is important to you in the process. In addition, a professionally trained and responsible therapist will not ask you about things that were not discussed before hypnosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n This can happen and is often a sign of relaxation. After the session you may not remember every single word that was spoken. However, your subconscious will remember everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n No. There is never a danger of not waking up from hypnosis. Hypnotic trance is comparable to the state between waking up and sleeping. You always wake up from the trance, you are either woken up by the therapist or wake up by yourself. Most people report feeling rested and refreshed afterwards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It depends on what you mean by side effects. After a hypnotherapy session you may experience dizziness or a little tiredness, like in the morning, just before getting up. These are natural reactions that usually subside quickly.<\/p>\n You may also experience a few nights of more intense dreaming or more daydreaming during the day. These changes usually do not last long. If hypnosis is performed correctly, there are no negative side effects, unlike with medication. Often clients report positive side effects or changes, they feel more \u201erelaxed\u201d or less harsh towards themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Hypnosis is a very effective method. However, it is not a miracle cure. The number of sessions you will need will depend on your individual circumstances and the topic you bring along. In many cases a few sessions are enough to achieve the desired goal. However, a positive change can usually be felt after the first session, even if the cause has not yet been completely addressed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It is not uncommon that the effects lasts for years. Every now and then it is necessary to reinforce new behavioural patterns again and usually a single refreshment after months or even years is sufficient. Often, however, no further sessions are necessary if you have established new behavioural patterns so successfully that the old behaviour is completely abandoned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Yes, I cooperate with family GPs often and well, as the situation requires. A partnership with them helps to focus on your recovery and your well-being, and is, hence, very important to me. Conventional medicine and the scientifically recognized method of hypnotherapy can complement each other sensibly and meaningfully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n Group therapy including cognitive-behavioral elements and clinical hypnosis is a potent intervention to sustainably reduce insomniac complaints in adolescents.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Results demonstrate the effectiveness of hypnotic suggestions to specifically increase the amount and duration of deep sleep.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Results suggest that hypnotic suggestions might be a successful alternative for sleep- enhancing medication.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Study suggests that a special hypnotic relaxation treatment could be effective in helping you fall asleep faster. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Self-hypnosis produces significant positive effects on emotional stress, quality of life, sleep and mental adjustment in breast cancer patients.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Hypnosis appears to be a feasible and promising intervention for hot flashes, with a potential to improve quality of life and insomnia.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n My office is located in Walchwil in the canton of Zug.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n +41 76 570 8414<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n bb@barbarabauer.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n 47.1003,8.5133<\/p>\nThe good news<\/h2>\n
