Hypnotherapy
There have been many myths and misconceptions surrounding hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Would it surprise you to learn that the hypnotic state is actually a very natural one and one that you would go in and out of several times EVERY day, like a daydream?
Hypnosis has been used to great effect in the therapeutic context
for hundreds of years to facilitate change within the sub - conscious
mind (the emotional part of your thinking). This is where we store
everything we have ever learnt or experienced in our lives and this
can sometimes restrict us from moving forward or making changes
in our lives.
Hypnotherapy assists the conscious mind (your every day thoughts
like what to do, where to go) and the sub-conscious mind to work
together in harmony (emotional vs rational thinking) as opposed to
the 'normal' daily conflict, therefore allowing your mind to accept
changes that are for your benefit.
How am I hypnotised?
No deep dark mystery here I'm afraid. A typical Hypnosis session
would involve you sitting in a comfy chair, feet up, eyes closed and the
art of simply listening. Because Hypnosis is perfectly natural, a hypnotic
state can be safely induced by me speaking to you.
What will it feel like?
Some people feel more relaxed than they have ever felt before, some
people feel, well nothing really. It will all depend on you. Regardless of
what you do or don't feel, the subconscious mind is still listening and
changes can still be accepted. You do remain conscious AT ALL TIMES,
it is pain free and you will feel wide awake by the time you leave my office.
Many people have reported that they find Hypnosis really quite amazing!!
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Anybody who wants to allow themselves the possibility of change can be
hypnotised because all that hypnosis is, in a fashion is Self Hypnosis,
because you get to decide if YOU want to relax or not! Using the power
of your mind to induce a level of relaxation that is comfortable for you
is extremely empowering.
