Hypnosis is a communication/education process that allows a person’s conscious and subconscious minds to believe in the same positive message.

This allows for positive changes for  the client’s unwanted habits,behaviours,phobias and any other negative belief systems that the client wants to have changed into a more positive and productive pattern to enhance their life.

During hypnosis the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed state while the subconscious mind remains alert and receptive to suggestion.

In this state the person suspends critical judgment and exercises selective thinking.

Hypnosis is a way of accessing the subconscious mind.The root cause of most physical and emotional problems is in the subconscious mind,created by decisions and beliefs formed because of a past experience that is outside of conscious memory or awareness.

Hypnosis is a way of accessing and releasing that information and the accompanying distress.

Because hypnosis accesses the subconscious mind, it can also be used to improve performance. People have successfully increased sales, improved their sports performance, improved their memory, improved health habits, and mastered stress and anxiety through using hypnosis.

Clinical hypnosis is widely used to assist in pain control and to change unwanted habits.

Hypnosis is also used for motivation, enhancing memory and to achieve many other therapeutic gains.

 The most commonly asked question is “Will I act like a chicken?”

Most of us have seen stage hypnosis, or know someone who took part in a stage show.

These experiences are far removed from clinical hypnosis which is a well recognized and serious therapy that can help resolve many  difficulties, issues and addictions.

Clients who visit a hypnotherapist spend most of their session sitting or reclining comfortably, feeling extremely relaxed, listening to the hypnotherapist giving suggestions, and perhaps using metaphors which help them achieve  the therapeutic  results they have agreed upon together.

Clinical hypnosis is a gentle experience. Your body becomes very relaxed yet your mind remains very focused.

Usually you will hear everything that is said but often as though you were at a distance, observing.

When you experience hypnotherapy you are not under the 'Control of the therapist' and if you wanted to, you could get up and leave at any time. However, you would probably be so comfortable and relaxed that this would be the last thing on your mind.
