Most types of hypnotherapy make use of other techniques (such as NLP, EMDR, EFT, etc) to help a person to modify, change or cope better with their symptoms. Most uses of the title 'curative hypnotherapy' involve looking at the ISE (initial sensitising event) - the first time a person experienced their symptom or situation which appeared to trigger it into being. Lesserian Curative Hypnotherapy (LCH) takes one step further - seeking to correct the reason WHY a person reacted to an event by developing a problem. With the need for a symptom corrected, not only should the current problem be disposed of, but it should also ensure that no substitute or alternative symptom arises to replace it.
