Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses a focused state of relaxation to access the subconscious & unconscious mind. In this state, the mind becomes more open to communicate directly with our unconscious processes, allowing for lasting change. Through the subconscious mind we are able to access the unconscious beliefs surrounding behaviors, and guide you to be your best self. Inside, and out.
Your subconscious mind holds the power for fears, emotions and physical responses. This is how we can make such powerful transformations all within the power of the mind.
-You are always in control & unwanted suggestions will never embed-
This state of focused awareness is utilised daily, and even Holywood bargains on it. All those times you've been so engrossed in a movie, time dissappears, even your surroundings can dissappear from your conscious awareness. We feel the emotions intended from the movie, sadness, fear, worry, happiness; all as if it was happening to us. Have you ever jumped from fright at something in a movie? Even though what was happening was in the screen, and not in your room? Simply, the mind doesn't understand the difference between real, and vividly imagined.
Many of us have gained fears and even phobias simply from watching TV, reading books, listening to podcasts and even simply imagining the worst case scenario. Thankfully, it can be just as simple to make positive change by utilising that state of focused awareness in hypnotherapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose control under hypnosis?
No. You remain in full control at all times. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused awareness, you cannot be made to do anything against your will. It is said that all hypnosis is self hypnosis - this is because no one can embed suggestions that you do not want (it's your mind after all!) and you are in control at all times. Your mind will be doing the work.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Most people describe it as deeply relaxing, similar to the feeling just before falling asleep. You may feel more focused, calm, and open to positive change. In fact, everybody enters a state of hypnosis several times each day. Some examples of this commonly experienced by most adults are:
+ Reading a book or story and being so focused on the story you are no longer aware of your surroundings
+ Thinking back and recalling a memory, being completely in your mind
+ When you enter "auto-pilot" while travelling and suddenly arrive at your destination
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, evidence-based practice that is largely used world-wide. Meditation is a similar, lighter relaxation to hypnotherapy.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your goals and circumstances. Some may only require a couple of sessions, while others may require several to achieve the best results. Feel free to contact me to discuss a plan tailored to you.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Anyone can experience hypnosis if they are willing and open to the process. All you will need is a sound mind, and a genuine ambition for meaningful change.
