Dementia Care, Alzheimer's and Hypnotherapy in Banbury

Recent research has shown that hypno-psychotherapy can be effective in improving the quality of life for Alzheimer patients in seven main areas:

Concentration on daily tasks;

Relaxation, thus reducing anxiety which is a common feature;

Motivation, thus tending to avoid depressive conditions;

Undertaking daily activities and keeping active;

Immediate memory retention;

Memory for significant life events and

Socialisation thereby avoiding the tendency for self-isolation.

David Dove has been trained in best practice in the use of Hypno-Psychotherapy with people living with Dementia. This training was conducted in conjunction with the Alzheimer's Society and the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy.

Hypnotherapy is just one of several life enhancing therapies such as NLP and EFT that we use at The Paloma Centre here in Banbury

Hypnotherapy at The Paloma Centre in Banbury.

How can it help me?

Hypnosis is a totally natural procedure and is one which most of us will be familiar with, but in rather different circumstances. We are all familiar with "day dreaming" or "gazing into space" for example, when our conscious mind has wandered from the task in hand to occupy itself with other matters. Many drivers will also recognise the rather unnerving experience of "coming to" on a long and boring motorway journey and wondering how far they have travelled since they were last "conscious" of driving the car. These events can be described as us experiencing alternative states of consciousness. We haven't been asleep and if anything required our attention we would have responded but we just weren't "here" for a time.

The hypnotic state is just such an alternate state which we allow ourselves to enter and is one of profound relaxation. In general terms, to achieve a state of hypnosis we must satisfy three prerequisites: we must want it to happen, expect it to happen and to help it to happen. If we do not want or expect it to happen or resist it in some way then it is virtually impossible to induce the hypnotic state in someone against their will.

The reason that hypnosis is effective in therapy is that while our conscious minds are logical and calculating they are very limited in scope and taken up with dealing with what is happening to us in everyday life. Our unconscious minds, on the other hand, are uncritical, intuitive and very receptive to therapeutic suggestion and capable of working on these suggestions all the time in "the background" while we get on with life. Hypnosis deals with this unconscious aspect of our mind.

RECONCILE THE PAST, LIVE MORE FULLY IN THE PRESENT, CREATE A BETTER FUTURE.

    i am sorry for those people with these kinds of problems. on the other hand, they can forget their sorrows or their pains.

    Seems as if my Mother's problem has been caused by too many surgeries - what ever the reason, it is difficult watching a loved one slip away seemingly too easily

    Dementia itself is a scary proposition, with aging parents and relatives, It seems to be something I'm paying attention to these days.

    Excellent lens. I never thought about NLP being used for dementia. I learned a lot and wish you well in your practice. Blessed. Bear hugs, Frankster

    What an interesting article and so well written. I love hypnosis but rarely find anyone local who really knows how to do it. Wihs i lived closer to you!
  • sousababy Sep 2, 2011 @ 9:36 am | delete
    Yeah, this is a tough one, caregivers feel like they lost a loved one long before physical death ensues. It's very hard emotionally to be rejected by someone who fails to recognize you as their child, spouse, etc. My dear friend (retired nurse) Max Reily wrote this excellent lens: http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-visit-an-alzheimers-patient

    I was very interested in reading this. It is good of you to post this information, as you never know who will happen along, read it, and in doing so will find just the kernal of information they may need to set them on a path to finding a solution they have been seeking.

    I saw the beginnings of dementia in my father before he passed away. I believe that family care and support is as equally important as care for the patient with these highly challenging disabilities.

    Firstly, thank you for your generosity in visting/commenting on my lenses, most appreciated. Secondly, I couldn't agree more with the point that you make. Providing support and generating strength in the family support group is a significant issue in helping the client, thank you for bringing that out for everyone.

    Hypnosis and EFT are the two things which definitely calm my senses. I started out releasing the subtle energies on my body by reading the eft training manual. I got hooked and took part in EFT training. Aside from helping myself, I also teach the techniques to other people.

    Hi David,

    The Paloma Centre is doing a great job and I particularly like the multi-factorial approach taken to patient care. Many ailments such as Alzheimers require more than one approach to provide significant benefits, and I particularly appreciate the open mindedness to use treatments such as hypnotherapy.
