What is Hypnotherapy and how can it help you make changes quickly? Hypnosis has been used for many years as a way of allowing people to make positive changes to their lives. At Old Town Hypnotherapy, modern clinically proven therapeutic techniques are combined with the state of trance to help people make significant positive changes within relatively short periods of time.

rk? Working with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we look at what you want to achieve or change in your life rather than on the problem(s) that prompted you to seek change. The approach focuses on the present and future and not on the past. At Old Town Hypnotherapy we ask you to consider your preferred future, for instance, “what would be better if the problem had improved?” “What would have changed?” This enables your possible solutions to become more apparent and worked towards. The hypnosis itself, which just feels as if you are nicely relaxed, allows you to access your subconscious mind and make changes at that subconscious level. At all times you are completely in control, your mind will only accept what it agrees with and the changes you make feel very natural because they have come from you.

“Research shows that there is more scientific evidence for hypnotherapy than any other complementary therapy…. by using hypnosis, people can perform prodigious feats of will power and self healing”(Health Education Authority)

Alcohol can make people feel sleepy, but sedation is not the same as restorative sleep.

Although alcohol may shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, it can disrupt the normal structure of sleep later in the night. Sleep becomes lighter and more fragmented, with an increased likelihood of waking early and struggling to settle again.

It can also worsen snoring, overheating, dehydration and the need to use the bathroom. Anxiety may feel more pronounced the following morning because both sleep quality and the nervous system have been affected.

Regularly relying on alcohol to fall asleep can also teach the brain that sleep requires external help, making natural sleep feel increasingly uncertain.

Hypnotherapy can help address the stress, anxiety or habitual responses contributing to poor sleep.

Some people stay awake long after they feel tired because late evening is the only part of the day that feels entirely their own.

After hours spent working, caring for others or meeting constant demands, going to bed can feel like surrendering the last remaining piece of personal time. Another episode, a little more scrolling or one more chapter becomes difficult to resist.

This is sometimes described as bedtime procrastination, but it is not necessarily poor self-discipline. It may reflect a lack of autonomy and recovery time during the day.

Creating even a short period of protected personal time earlier in the evening can reduce the urge to reclaim it at the expense of sleep.

If stress and an inability to switch off are disrupting your sleep, hypnotherapy can help change the patterns that keep you awake.

Looking at the clock during the night can turn wakefulness into a calculation.

It is 2.15 am and you have five hours left. At 3.00 am, it becomes four hours and fifteen minutes. Before long, the mind is predicting how exhausted you will feel, how badly you will perform and how difficult the following day will be.

These calculations increase anxiety and alertness. The bedroom begins to feel like a place where sleep must be achieved before time runs out.

Turning the clock away removes one source of pressure. Resting quietly may not feel as satisfactory as sleeping, but it is more helpful than repeatedly measuring how long you have been awake.

Hypnotherapy can help reduce anxiety about sleep and break the association between bedtime, pressure and frustration.

A need for time alone can easily be misinterpreted within a relationship.

One person may use solitude to recover from noise, conversation or emotional demands. The other may experience that withdrawal as rejection, punishment or evidence that something is wrong.

Neither response is necessarily unreasonable. The difficulty lies in assigning meaning to another person’s behaviour without checking whether that interpretation is accurate.

Explaining the need for space and offering reassurance can prevent unnecessary anxiety. Respecting that need can also allow both people to return to the relationship with more patience and emotional capacity.

Hypnotherapy can help reduce insecurity, manage anxious responses and support healthier relationship patterns.

A partner describing a difficult experience may want understanding rather than advice.

Immediately offering solutions can seem practical, but it may also feel dismissive. The message received can be that the emotion is inconvenient, the problem is simple or the person should have dealt with it differently.

Support sometimes means listening, acknowledging that something has been difficult and allowing the other person to explain how they feel. Advice is more useful once it is wanted.

The distinction matters because emotional connection is not created solely by fixing problems. It also develops through feeling understood and accepted.

Hypnotherapy can support greater emotional awareness and help change habitual responses that interfere with communication and connection.

Resentment rarely begins with one dramatic event. It often develops through small disappointments, unequal responsibilities and concerns that are repeatedly left unspoken.

Agreeing to something while inwardly objecting may avoid an immediate disagreement, but the feeling does not necessarily disappear. It can emerge later as irritability, withdrawal, criticism or a disproportionate reaction to a minor incident.

Avoiding every difficult conversation does not preserve harmony. It postpones the disagreement while allowing frustration to accumulate.

Expressing concerns earlier, while they are still manageable, makes it easier to discuss the actual problem rather than months or years of stored resentment.

If fear of conflict prevents you from expressing yourself, hypnotherapy can help build confidence and change the responses that keep you silent.

Listening becomes difficult once a conversation begins to feel threatening.

Instead of absorbing what the other person is saying, the brain starts preparing a defence, correcting inaccuracies or searching for evidence that proves them wrong. Parts of the conversation may be heard, but the meaning behind them is lost.

Feeling misunderstood then increases frustration on both sides. Voices become louder, positions become more rigid and the original concern disappears beneath an argument about who is right.

Listening does not mean agreeing. It means understanding the other person’s position before responding to it. Feeling heard often reduces the emotional intensity enough for a more useful conversation to take place.

Hypnotherapy can help reduce the anxiety and defensiveness that interfere with calm communication.

Many relationship arguments are not really new. The subject may change, but the underlying pattern remains remarkably consistent.

One person raises a concern. The other feels criticised and becomes defensive. The first person feels ignored and pushes harder. Both then react to each other’s reaction rather than addressing the original issue.

Repeated patterns become automatic because the brain learns to anticipate what will happen next. A particular expression, tone of voice or phrase may trigger a defensive response before either person has properly considered what is being said.

Recognising the pattern creates an opportunity to interrupt it. A different response from either person can change the direction of the entire conversation.

Hypnotherapy can help change automatic emotional and behavioural responses that contribute to repeated conflict.

Relationship tension often develops around expectations that have never been clearly expressed.

One person expects to spend the whole day together, while the other assumes there will be time for separate interests. One sees a holiday as an opportunity to explore; the other wants to rest. Each may believe their preference should be obvious.

The resulting disappointment can be interpreted as selfishness, rejection or lack of consideration, although neither person may fully understand what the other expected.

Expressing preferences clearly gives people something real to discuss. Expecting someone to know what we want without being told creates fertile ground for resentment.

If anxiety, low confidence or previous experiences make it difficult to express your needs, hypnotherapy can help you communicate more calmly and confidently.

08/08/2026

Spending more time together does not automatically create closeness. Holidays often mean sharing the same space for longer, with fewer opportunities to follow separate routines or have time alone.

Minor habits that usually pass unnoticed can become surprisingly irritating. Tiredness, heat, disrupted routines and competing expectations can reduce patience further, turning small disagreements into much larger arguments.

This does not necessarily indicate a serious problem in the relationship. It may simply mean that both people need more space, clearer communication and fewer expectations about how every day should be spent.

Hypnotherapy can help reduce emotional reactivity and support calmer, more constructive responses within relationships.
