What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, which facilitates change, by utilising the therapeutic application of Hypnosis (trance), as the primary technique for the treatment and relief of a wide range of somatic, psychological and behavioural issues. Modern hypnotherapy can treat and relieve a wide range of conditions and symptoms, alter unwanted behaviour patterns and create new ones, as well as being used creatively to enhance sporting, academic and other types of personal performance.

There are so many ways in which Hypnotherapy can help you and everyone can benefit from Hypnosis. Hypnosis is a change of consciousness not a loss of consciousness. You will enter a wonderful state of physical mental and emotional relaxation along with a heightened state of awareness, so that you can use the natural power of your mind to help you with your individual needs.

In Hypnosis you access your subconscious, which is the most powerful part of your mind, where real, lasting change takes place. You may have heard it said that we only use 10% of our mind power, our conscious mind. Well Hypnosis is a way to gain access to that other 90%, your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is powerful, your subconscious mind is infinitely more powerful!

Hypnosis is one of the most effective means of bringing about changes you desire in your life. While in hypnosis your conscious, or critical mind (the part that's analysing this now) is temporarily bypassed and you work directly with the subconscious or the inner mind.

The Inner mind is the hidden feeling mind, which becomes open and more responsive to all highly positive and beneficial ideas and suggestions. Allowing real changes to take place quickly. This involves a process of re-education at the mental, emotional levels for the purpose of solving problems, developing motivation and setting and achieving goals.

As hypnosis is a natural response, which allows you greater control over all aspects of your life, hypnotherapy is completely safe. So one big advantage of using Hypnosis is that there are no harmful or unwanted side effects. Another advantage being that when administered by a professionally trained and skilled hypnotist, the positive benefits can be long lasting and often permanent.

Hypnosis is fast gaining credibility as a valuable mental and psychological tool, with many Doctors and Dentists now referring patients to Hypnotherapists . However hypnotherapy should not be considered a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, but as a complimentary therapy.

If you are still anxious about Hypnosis, you can be reassured that you cannot be hypnotized against your will, or forced to do anything that you do not want to do.
