Hypnosis is a state of mind where the conscious mind becomes subdued, and one has greater access to the unconscious. There are many different methods that are used to guide a person into this state of mind that we call “hypnosis.” And once that person is in the hypnotic state, “Hypnotherapy” is used as therapeutic method that to treat the subject’s symptoms. It is an effective method for treating stress, and stress related symptoms. It’s also used for the elimination of pain; to increase the ability to focus concentration to learn faster; eliminate irrational fears and phobias, and much more.
You are deeply relaxed and calm, aware of everything happening around you. It is a pleasant and enjoyable state very similar to daydreaming or drifting off to sleep. You will feel wonderfully relaxed and you may find that your sleep will be of a much better quality.
Absolutely. It is a completely safe, comfortable and relaxed experience.
No. You are in charge. You cannot be made to do anything against your will and you cannot be taken into hypnosis if you do not want to. It is your experience and you are in control throughout.
You can, everyone can, as long as you want to be. If, you say that “nobody is going to hypnotise me”, then you’d be right – after all you are the one who is in control.
No. You are fully awake and alert, aware of everything that is happening throughout the session.
We are in natural hypnosis 60% of the time. So you already know what it feels like. You are in natural hypnosis when you read a good book and get totally ‘lost’ in the story. It is the same when watching a good film, watching TV, driving the car or just daydreaming. These are all dreamlike states, similar to the feelings when one is just drifting off to sleep. It is a time of deep relaxation.
That depends on you and what you wish to change. Hypnotherapy helps people fast, so that even deep behavioural problems can be resolved in a few sessions – compared to a few years for some other types of therapy.
With hypnosis there are literally no limits to what you can achieve. You have the power to make changes in your life – changes that take place quickly and changes that last.
