WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?

Hypnotherapy is a therapy conducted under hypnosis.  Hypnosis is a completely natural phenomena best explained as deep state of relaxation and concentration, where the mind becomes distant and detached from everyday cares and concerns.

This state is neither sleep nor unconsciousness but an altered state of awareness, often referred to as a ‘hypnotic trance’ or ‘hypnotic relaxation’.

The conscious and analytical part of the mind is safely bypassed allowing more direct access to the unconscious (subconscious) part of your mind where you ‘let things happen’ and react positively to suggestion.

The term “Hypnosis” is derived from the Greek word ‘Hypnos’ meaning sleep.  During Hypnotherapy the subject becomes very deeply relaxed and exists in an altered state of consciousness.

The individual is in complete control, but extraordinarily focused on their internal experience, and on the voice of the hypnotist all whilst deep in relaxation

This dispels the popular myth that a hypnotized person is unconscious or unable to respond to emergencies, or to oppose the will of the hypnotist if they should wish to do so.

During hypnosis time passes quickly; all whilst experiencing soothing feelings of very deep relaxation; whilst:

• Remaining in complete control

• Aware of your immediate surroundings and

• Alert enough to not do anything that goes against you personally
