What is hypnosis/hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is an abbreviation of the use of ‘hypnosis
in therapy’ So, please bear this in mind, the ‘hypnosis’ included in the
session is only one part of the Hypnotherapeutic process.
Hypnosis is
an altered state of consciousness which we all naturally experience on a
daily basis, for example when we’re engrossed in a book, or emotionally
involved in a film, or simply daydreaming. Most of us have had that
experience when you’re driving along and your conscious mind is miles away.
You suddenly arrive at your destination and you have no idea of how you’ve
got there! What’s happened is that you’ve done the journey so many times
that your subconscious has driven the car whilst the busy conscious mind
has taken a back seat for a while!
And that shows just how resourceful our subconscious
mind really is. This is what makes hypnotherapy so powerful, as while you
are in this pleasant relaxed state you are able to access your subconscious
mind and your inner resources, so you can resolve conflicts and make the
changes you want. It can help you take back control of your life and become
more relaxed, confident and happier.
As hypnosis is an increased state of awareness, the
majority of clients remember everything that is said to them during
hypnosis. I liken the hypnotic state to the way you feel just before
falling asleep, when you're totally relaxed but fully aware of everything
around you. You are neither asleep nor fully awake.
Please see the ‘Frequently asked questions’ page to see find out more information about
hypnosis and hopefully these will expel the myths of this very beneficial
therapy.
