Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that uses hypnosis to help people access and work through unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It's a way to help people overcome specific issues such as anxiety, phobias, addiction, or negative habits. A trained practitioner guides the person into a trance-like state, where they are more open to suggestions and able to access deeper levels of consciousness, to help them make positive changes. It's important to note that hypnotherapy should be performed by a qualified practitioner for safety and the best results.

How Does it Work?

​

During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, natural state, while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestions. Hypnotic suggestions bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious mind. When given a new suggestion that is within the bounds of a person's belief system and moral orientation, the subconscious mind accepts it literally as a new reality. The ability to re-program emotional attitudes and reactions is a latent talent within every human being. Hypnosis is the most functional and reasonable way to build new behaviors, create new patterns and find alternate ways of dealing with situations, thereby enforcing positive changes and restoring the well-being of the mind and body.

Let's cover a little about what Hypnotherapy is not

​

Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic tool, but it is important to understand what it is not:

 

• Hypnotherapy is not magic: It is not a quick-fix solution that will solve all of your problems overnight. It is a therapeutic process that requires commitment and effort from the individual.

• Hypnotherapy is not mind control: A hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything against your will. You remain in control at all times and can choose to accept or reject any suggestions made during the hypnosis session.

• Hypnotherapy is not only for people with serious issues: Hypnotherapy can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, from everyday stress and anxiety to more serious conditions.

• Hypnotherapy is not only for adults: It can also be used with children and teenagers, but it should be done by a qualified practitioner who is trained in working with children and adolescents.

• Hypnotherapy is not just for entertainment: Hypnosis used in stage shows is a form of entertainment. It is different from hypnotherapy which is a therapeutic tool and should only be done by a qualified practitioner.
