What is Hypnotherapy?

​

Hypnotherapy is an ultimate state of relaxation, achieved when you learn to connect with your subconscious. Practiced along with an ongoing therapy, the results can have a considerable impact on your state of being. When these two elements are combined to form hypnotherapy, what you get is a powerful solution to many mental, physical and social impairments.

Despite a common misconception, hypnosis does not involve standing on a stage doing a chicken impression while a hypnotist shouts “magic” words at you – This might be an extreme stereotypical example but, the truth is a lot of people don’t really understand the process and some even fear it.

​

For a person to undergo hypnotherapy treatment, they need to understand what the process involves and practise it with a trusted and qualified hypnotherapist for the best results to be achieved quickly and easily. A good therapist will always sit down with you before any treatment, explain the process, answer any questions you have and agree on a suitable outcome for you.

Hypnosis is a largely natural state for human beings to experience and can occur more regularly than you think. Throughout a normal day it is possible to drift in to a different state of consciousness without being aware of it. This place in your mind which sits between awake and asleep is called hypnosis. Guided hypnosis with a qualified therapist is a simple and more instant way to reach a state of mind that allows you to alter the stubborn mind-sets which reside there, opening up the possibilities of positive change within many areas of your life.

During your hypnotherapy session the therapist will use verbal communication skills to achieve a previously agreed alteration in thoughts, behaviour, perception, sensation and feeling. You will never be unconscious and you will remain fully in control of what is happening throughout the entire process.
