Hypnotherapy
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is intervention comprised of inducing a client into a relaxed, suggestible state and then offering post-hypnotic suggestions for relief from symptoms. Hypnotic trance is the simple shifting back and forth between the conscious and subconscious mind; a natural process that occurs 80% of every day, such as, when we daydream, or just before we fall asleep at night.
HYPNOSIS vs. HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnosis is a method of relaxation and concentration that provides access to a unique state of consciousness. Hypnotherapy is the process of having a session with a client who is in the hypnotic altered state of consciousness. Hypnotherapy is an interactive process.

HOW CAN HYPNOTHERAPY HELP ME?
Sometimes certain problems and difficulties in our lives persist even though we seem to have a clear intellectual understanding of them. Hypnotherapy is used to uncover, explore, and transform those persistent problems and difficulties. It is a way to bypass the rational, conscious mind and literally get to the core feelings behind the problems which lie in the subconscious mind. All long-term memory, emotional feelings, habits, relationship patterns, addictions, involuntary bodily functions, creativity, and intuition are stored in the sub-conscious. That is why no matter how much you try to change certain behavior patterns, your subconscious mind wins the mental "tug-of-war" and you return to the old behavior pattern. The only way to effectively and permanently make a true change in your behavior is to change the remembered pattern in the subconscious mind.
WHAT IF I CAN'T BE HYPNOTIZED?
The answer is everyone can be hypnotized. For example: Have you ever been driving in your car and realized that you passed your exit three blocks earlier? You might think, "Wow! How did that happen?" You missed your turn because you were in a "trance state." This phenomena is called "Driving Hypnosis." Every human being does it. In addition, If you have ever been doing a simple or mundane task such as, washing the dishes, painting, waxing the car, or knitting and at the same time thinking about something that happened in the past or something you would like to have happen in the future, you have been in a "trance state." We call this "day dreaming."
WILL I BE ALSEEP OR UNCONSCIOUS DURING HYPNOSIS?
Although you are profoundly relaxed, your senses become heightened. You will hear and remember everything. In addition, even though you are relaxed, you will be verbally interacting during your session. What happens during a hypnosis session is ultimately up to you. Your hypnotherapist cannot make you do or say something that you don't want to do or say. Your hypnotherapist is simply an educated guide to assist you in communication in the most effective way with your powerful unconscious mind. It is a insightful and heart-opening experience.
Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool for making lasting changes. Direct communication with your subconscious mind can be achieved only through hypnosis.
