How does Cognitive Behaviour Therapy work?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the most effective form of therapy for treatment of mental health problems. CBT works on the premise that it is not what happens that causes how we feel and what we do, but how we think about what happens. CBT uses a collection of cognitive, behavioural and emotive strategies. It works by identifying thoughts, feelings, behaviour and environmental factors that maintain problems. CBT develops solutions to these problems through: deepening feelings, restructuring thoughts and emotional regulation.

Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnosis is a successful and evidence based verbal intervention that uses a special mental state of enhanced receptivity to suggestion to facilitate therapeutic psychological and physiological changes. Treatment sessions begin with an induction of the hypnotic state followed by deepening of the altered state with the aid of counting, physical relaxation and guided mental dissociation from the here-and-now. In the hypnotic state clinical intervention is composed of targeted verbal suggestions and therapeutic imagery to encourage improvement in functional gut symptoms. Imagery and suggestions commonly aim at regulating smooth muscle activity, reducing the impact of stress on GI symptoms, reducing gut pain perception and attention to symptoms, and increasing the client’s sense of control over symptoms.Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the opposite of thinking. It is shifting into sensing mode and being. Mindfulness offers a way of freeing oneself from automatic and unhelpful ways of thinking and responding. Techniques include body scan, noticing and then shifting one’s attention away from thoughts and feelings, acceptance of uncomfortable feelings and leading a values driven life.
