Who couldn't do with more relaxation in their life?
Hypnotherapy - it's NOT clucking chickens and mind control!
People are often skeptical of hypnotherapy and it's not surprising when you think about some of the stage hypnosis and portrayal in TV and film you may have seen.
We actually go into a state similar to hypnosis several times a day. Have you ever been driving and realised that your mind has wandered and you've not been paying any attention to the road? Well that's the state - a drifty, day-dreamy state of mind where the conscious mind goes elsewhere and the subconscious takes over.
And during a hypnotherapy session, you are still awake (although it may feel like sleep) and you will feel deeply relaxed, opening your eyes feeling calm, refreshed and recharged. It's really nice!
No swinging watches, no "look into my eyes" and definitely no mind control!
So what's hypnotherapy all about?
Hypnotherapy involves deep relaxation and achieving a trance-like state in order to access your subconscious mind. The subconscious is powerful and limitless but not under our conscious control but through hypnosis, it is possible to change unwanted feelings and behaviour and replace them with more positive beliefs and responses.
You are fully in control throughout hypnosis and cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do. Whilst we may think that we find moments of relaxation in our busy lives, this is often not the case and our brains usually remain highly alert and active. Hypnosis achieves a true state of deep relaxation and inner calm and most people feel refreshed and relaxed after their session. Add to this the fact that it can also help you to achieve your goals and it makes for a fantastic form of therapy. You are literally making positive changes with your eyes closed!
Each session will be specifically tailored to you personally in order to ensure the greatest possible chance of success. If you are ready, willing and able to make positive change then hypnotherapy could very well be the answer. It is important to keep in mind that hypnotherapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix and as such, a "cure" can never be guaranteed. However, where a client is committed to change and wants things to improve then there is more chance of you achieving your desired results.
