MIND OVER MATTER
Along with the excitement of pregnancy, it is also natural for an expectant mother to feel a sense of anxiety at the impending arrival of a baby. Fathers’ may also feel apprehensive about how they will cope with seeing their partner in labour, what their role will be with the birth, and how they will bond with their new child. The Harrogate Hypnotherapy & Holistic Centre can offer resources for parents to access feelings of calm , control and relaxation, helping to achieve a positive experience.
Clinical Hypnotherapy can also assist during pregnancy, to bring about deep relaxation and feelings of well-being. New mothers can also implement hypnosis techniques to gain focus and clarity during what can be a demanding time. Self-hypnosis is a valuable resource for regaining control and easily accessing a peaceful frame of mind.
A course of Birth-Ability is £175, and includes consultation, individual therapy sessions , self-hypnosis tuition, an audio CD and ongoing telephone support. Partners are welcome to attend therapy sessions.
Our course offers parents deep relaxation and the ability to recreate these life-long skills for themselves. The expectant mother is taught to visualise a positive experience, to release any internal fears, thus maintaining control. Anxiety during labour causes muscle tension, exacerbating pain . Learning to let go of tensions, and alter perception, is empowering, allowing the creation of a really positive and enjoyable experience.
Feeling happy, calm and relaxed, is a blissful way to welcome your child into the world
Advantages of using Hypnosis for Birthing
*Labour time can be reduced
*Less Analgesics required
* A calming, peaceful birth
* A more refreshed and rested mum
* Less stress for baby
Sadly the concept of birth in our western world leads us to expect a long and painful 'labour' . There are many cultures whereupon childbirth is fully expected to be a calm, enjoyable experience.
Hypnosis assitsts access to deep levels of relaxation, which in turn enables your body to open, and reduces levels of stress & anxiety. This state will naturally have a positive effect
physiologically, mentally and emotionally, not only on the mother but also the baby.
We are always more than happy to discuss any of our therapies and answer questions, with no obligation.
