Clinical Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnotherapy?

An hypnotic state can occur naturally, especially when our mind is in a relaxed state or relatively free of other distractions e.g. like daydreaming when watching television, waking up from a sleep before opening your eyes, these states happen when our critical faculties are temporarily being suspended.

 

Contrary to common believe, Hypnosis induces neither sleep nor a state of aesthesia, you will be able to hear and feel everything that is around you but at the same time remain totally relaxed yet inwardly focused.

Hypnotherapy is normally conducted between a trained therapist and a patient via using a various forms of verbal instructions that induces a trance or trance-like state. Attaining this relaxed condition enables the mind to be open to any suggestions that were agreed previously during the consultation process.

How does it all work?

A trance-like state occurs when the mind bypasses the conscious mind hence allowing direct communication with the unconscious part of the mind. Engaging with the subconscious mind assists in the reprogramming process in order to overcome issues or problems such as smoking, phobias, panic attacks, lack of confidence etc.
