Hypnotherapy Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today, the use of hypnosis as a therapeutic treatment is seen in a variety of fields, including: medicine, dentistry, professional sports, and education. It is used to treat phobias, to enhance sports performance and is a well known aid to stop smoking.
How does hypnotherapy work? Our minds work on two levels - the conscious and the subconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The subconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the subconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnotherapy.
How will I know if I am hypnotised? Most people cannot tell the difference between the hypnotised and the waking states. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviours. You do not 'sleep' during hypnosis but to onlookers it can appear that way.
Is hypnosis safe? Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience. | | |
