Hypnosis can help with Bereavement
No matter what your beliefs are about the after-life, it is hard for those left in this world to feel happy when trying to cope with the loss of someone who you dearly love.
Sleepless nights are all too familiar to those who are doing their best to cope with loss.
Memories, worries and fears circle around one’s mind and your emotions are turned inside-out and upside down. You turn into yourself and don’t feel that anyone can help.
All you can do is take one day at a time and focus on the practicalities of day to day life. Days seem to pass in a complete blur, until eventually you realize that you have got through it; it is as if you have moved through a dark and damp tunnel and have finally reached daylight once again.
Can we do anything to sooth ourselves during this period of grief and loss? There are certain things which we can do. We need to Talk to someone who will care and understand how we feel.
We can use hypnosis to help relax and sleep and sooth our bodies and our minds. Hypnosis is in itself a state of relaxation and so it will teach you how to relax, even when you are at your most anxious or most full of grief.
Hypnosis is the state between wake and sleep, and so by learning to use hypnosis you will learn how to sleep normally and naturally once more. Nobody knows how to go to sleep; it just happens.
In learning hypnosis, however, you will learn to relax into a state which naturally leads to sleep. When in hypnosis your body relaxes and so does your conscious mind.
Hypnosis provides a welcome break from those thoughts which would otherwise been circling around inside your mind; it’s like taking a mini- holiday, or having a mental massage. This ability to sooth your mind and change your emotional state is invaluable when you are coping with bereavement.
Hypnosis allows contact with your inner mind, and suggestions can be made to give you a feeling of calmness, safety and security, as well as the confidence to believe in your own ability to cope and to rebuild your life. This does not interfere with the natural grieving process; rather it helps you to cope with it better.
Mo Ferrington has a wealth of experience with grief and bereavement and is blessed with a caring and loving nature which is just what someone in pain really needs.
