What is Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring altered state of conscious awareness. You have 2 minds – the conscious (the logical, rational mind) and the subconscious (the creative mind that maintains your body and is home to your emotions and memories).

During hypnosis the conscious mind becomes relaxed (the hypnotic state), best described as a day dreaming state, similar to the time just before going to sleep or just after waking up. In therapy, hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down and focused on appropriate suggestions made by the therapist. During the relaxed state, the subconscious mind is receptive to positive therapeutic suggestions so is able to respond creativity to desired change.

By inducing a relaxed state of mind you can gain access to greater subconscious resources in order to solve a whole range of physical, psychological and emotional conditions and enhance a greater sense of purpose and well-being.

What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the process of inducing hypnosis to access the subconscious mind in order to make suggestions to an individual to help change previous programming and conditioning, enabling rapid and permanent changes to take place. Hypnotherapy is like a voyage of self-discovery helping you to find the answers that you are searching for and enabling you to set yourself free to enjoy your life to the full. Unlike other therapies hypnotherapy is a relatively quick therapy; all you need is the commitment and motivation to achieve your goals.
