group hypnotherapy

Group hypnotherapy offers a way to introduce positive mental framing and deep relaxation into care homes and hospices. Unlike the passive experience of a sound bath, hypnotherapy engages the subconscious mind to help people achieve specific session goals.

Benefits for Residents and Patients

In a group setting, hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and positive suggestion to address, among other things, the psychological and physical symptoms associated with aging and/or end-of-life care.

•    Anxiety and Fear Reduction: It is highly effective at calming the nervous system.
•    Cognitive Support: Studies suggest that hypnosis can improve focused concentration and short-term memory.
•    Pain Management: By altering the subconscious perception of physical discomfort, hypnotherapy can serve as a powerful complimentary support to traditional pain relief.
•    Restoring Control: Patients/ residents often feel a renewed sense of self-esteem, by connecting with empowering thoughts and re-framing past difficulties.

Benefits for Staff and Caregivers

Group sessions for staff can focus on building resilience and clearing the mental fog that often accompanies compassionate care.

•    Managing Compassion Fatigue: Hypnotherapy helps caregivers reframe patterns of guilt and overwhelm, allowing them to reconnect with their professional purpose.
•    Improved Sleep and Recovery: Solution-focused techniques can lower cortisol levels, ensuring staff wake up feeling more refreshed and better equipped for high-pressure shifts.
•    Enhanced Team Dynamics: Participating in group sessions can reduce professional isolation and foster a supportive environment.
