WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a treatment intervention comprised of inducing a client into a relaxed, suggestible state and then offering post-hypnotic suggestions for relief from symptoms. Trance is the simple shifting back and forth between the conscious and subconscious mind; which is a natural process that occurs 80% of every day, such as, when we day dream, 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 difficulties in our lives persist even though we seem to have a clear intellectual or rational understanding of them. Hypnotherapy is used to uncover, explore, and release the emotional feelings attached to them.  It is a way to bypass the rational, conscious mind and literally get to the central feelings behind the core issues 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.  This is why no matter how much you try to change certain behavior patterns in your conscious, rational mind, your subconscious mind wins the mental 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.  Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool for making lasting changes.

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 REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY HYPNOTHERAPY SESSION? Although you are in a deep state of relaxation,  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.
