When you by means of cognitively oriented talks and hypnosis have built yourself up sufficiently from the ground, the following happens: Parts of experiences which have not been worked through and need being worked through consciously become conscious. At the same time most of these experiences are worked through on a non-conscious level. When experiences which have not been worked through begin to enter consciousness, it may be necessary to go on with what we could call the hypnotherapeutic phase to make the problems disappear completely. If this is the case, you need to consult a psychologist skilled in hypnosis who has training and experience in guiding people through this phase. There is, of course, a reason why you need such a psychologist at your side. It is too demanding for you to steer the process you are undergoing when at the same time you need to learn to cope with the experiences you confront in a new, rational and constructive way.
Even though you succeed in entering the hypnotic state on your own it might be difficult to continue without professional help, if it turns out that experiences you have not worked through are spontaneously reconstructed, i.e. brought up to consciousness. To be prepared to face these you need to have somebody at your side whose personality, knowledge and experience in the field gives you the support and security needed. The non-conscious part of yourself controls the time and extent of reconstruction or re-experiencing necessary for working through your experiences completely.
Working through the hypnotherapeutic phase can radically change your behaviour patterns and, as a result, you will feel much better and function in a more constructive way.
Hypnosis is a method whereby you can enter a so-called hypnotic state. One of the differences between hypnosis as a method and mental training is that, using the former the therapist (in co-operation with your non-conscious part) steers you into the hypnotic state and through the following process, while in mental training you yourself to the best of your ability try to do the same. If experiences which have not been worked through do not prevent you from reaching a deeper level of the non-conscious part of yourself, you become open to positive suggestions from your hypnotist. Through the hypnotic work these suggestions reach deeper and deeper into your non-conscious mind and are stored there. The deeper the information is stored in your non-conscious mind the stronger is its effect e.g. on your self-image and your behaviour. Gradually you learn to put yourself into a hypnotic state (self-hypnosis) and in a similar way give yourself suggestions which influence you positively on a deeper level.
Few people are able on their own to learn to enter hypnotic states often enough and to stay there long enough as required for an optimal use of their potential. Therefore, self-hypnosis often has to be preceded by hypnosis. When we get the help needed we learn to get into touch with our deep non-conscious levels and the inner peace and security residing here, which makes us experience ourselves and everything around us in a very positive way. It may be sufficient to work with cognitively oriented talks in combination with mental training, hypnosis and possibly self-hypnosis to reach our goals, provided we do not have traumatic experiences or other rather deep-seated problems which originate farther back in time. By those means we become mentally strong enough
