Hypnotherapy

 

 

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is a state of altered awareness in which the imagination and not the intellect is active.

It does not involve becoming unconscious and it has nothing to do with sleep.

Hypnosis cannot be forced onto people but is a state that people enter naturally several times a day. The hypnotherapist aids a person to enter

the hypnotic state.

Throughout the induction and therapy the client is fully aware of all that is happening and it is not possible to get “stuck” permanently in hypnosis, as with sleep or any other state of mind, people emerge naturally from hypnosis, especially when there is a need to do so.

Hypnotherapists use hypnosis not only for medical conditions but also for psychological conditions. In the clinical setting hypnosis goes with a very pleasant state of physical relaxation which is in itself very beneficial, especially in the treatment of stress.

Hypnosis cannot perform miracles, but it is a state of awareness which can be used for self help. In the hypnotic state clients can draw on inner resources and may be open to suggestions which encourage more sensible, balanced or helpful attitudes to reality.
