The Association for Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy (APH) ensures the convergence of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy practices. This opens doors for practitioners’ professional growth and offers transformative healing to their patients. Join APH’s vibrant community of therapists, enthusiasts, and researchers. We are committed to exploring the connection between psychology and neuroscience in not only enhancing therapeutic practices but also enriching lives.
APH attaches a great deal of value to the harmonious integration of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy practices. Psychotherapy involves developing an understanding of the behaviors and emotions of human beings and the provision of a framework for addressing related issues. On the other hand, hypnotherapy is helpful in exploring, understanding, and transforming beliefs and behaviors that are deeply rooted in the subconscious mind of a person. We take a comprehensive approach to healing as we acknowledge the intricacies of the human mind and ensure enduring transformation by combining psychological insights with powerful methods of hypnosis.
AtAPH, we strive to disentangle the neural mechanisms behind hypnotherapy and delve into the enthralling world of neuroscience. We make use of findings from cutting-edge research and evidence-based practices to understand as to how hypnosis can control brain activity, influence neural networks, and foster neuroplasticity to enable innovative therapeutic interventions. Neuroimaging techniques like electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provide valuable information as regards the brain changes caused by hypnosis. According to studies, individuals experience changes in brain activity, including alterations in cortical activity and neural connectivity, during hypnosis. Furthermore, there could be an increase or decrease in activity in the areas of the brain associated with perception, attention, and self-awareness based on the provided hypnotic suggestion. A deep understanding of the neuroscience related to hypnosis helps evaluate its therapeutic effects and develop more effective and targeted interventions.
As APH members are given access to a wide range of resources, such as peer-reviewed journals, workshops, and seminars. They are designed to deepen their understanding of the principles of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy principles as they cover a variety of topics ranging from theoretical and foundational psychotherapy and hypnotherapy principles to practical applications.
