HYPNOTHERAPY... is not new. It also has been known about since the start of recorded
history, in communities all around the world.
DISPELLING MYTHS:
Hypnosis is NOT sleep.
Awareness is NOT lost.
You will NOT be out of control.
Hypnotherapy is an altered state of awareness.
FACT: you can expect to be conscious of feeling relaxed - deeply
relaxed - but remaining completely in control of all aspects of your being.
Hypnosis can be used to ... “greatly depress or prodigiously exalt” ... the arousal of selected parts of the
nervous system.*1
It can be defined as a naturalistic alteration of the level of activity of systems of the mind and body for a
therapeutic purpose.*2
It has been known about since Wong Tai, the father of Chinese medicine (2600B.C.), and the Hindu Vedas (1500B.C.) mentioned
hypnosis and hypnotic procedures.
Although it stems from the Greek word ‘hypnos’ meaning sleep - it is not sleep. If you were wired up to an EEG
machine measuring brain-waves, this could be proved (see: "Fear of Flying"). It is an altered state of awareness - where you remain deeply
relaxed but conscious of all that is being said and happening around you.
Importantly, you remain completely in control of ALL aspects of your being.
It is routinely used for a wide range of condition-specific therapeutic purposes: anxiety, asthma, depression, examnation nerves, fear of flying, IBS, insomnia, migraine, pain-management, panic-attacks, public speaking, dental, needle and about 400 other phobias, stress, weight control/ weight loss, etc., - allowing the individual to take control and manage their wellbeing for their own good.

He is registered within the following General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) Special Interest Registers:
Allergies & Skin Conditions
IBS & Gut Related Disorders [IBS Hypnotherapy]

First appointment (1-11/2 hours): £50.00 with FREE relaxation and confidence-building CD (or recording of past life recall) included.
Second appointment (1-11/2 hours, including teaching of self-hypnosis): £50.00
Subsequent appointments: £50 per hour.
How many appointments? It would be unusual for there to be a need for more than 4 for current conditions, in my experience.
As my average over the past few years has been between 2 and 3 visits per patient you could consider that as the best "starting
indication" that I could suggest before we meet. We could discuss this - we can review things as you feel is right for you.
Appointments are at your invitation. I'm helping you to help yourself.
The information provided on www.hypnotherapy-aberdeen.com (and
subsequent/ linked pages) is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a patient and their physician. It
is therefore wise to tell your doctor of any complementary treatment you are contemplating. In fact, in some cases Stan Gerard
may be reluctant to start treatment until you have done so.
Forensic Hypnosis is available to Principle Investigating Authorities. Fees are available on application to Stan
Gerard, as above, or on 01224 - 59 4774
