Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnosis is a state of altered consciousness that happens to everyone. In Hypnotherapy you reach a state of deep relaxation. You remain fully aware of your surroundings during a Hypnotherapy session. Hypnotherapy is not the same as sleep, or an anaesthetic. You don't pass out, you are not unconscious nor do you lose control over your mind or your feelings. In Hypnotherapy, it is usual to feel very relaxed, at ease, and you may well enjoy deep peace of mind. Many people comment on their feeling of comfort or security or the sensation of lightness of floating in Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy uses the conscious mind (is the part of your mind that rationalises, thinks, analyses, judges and makes decisions) and the subconscious part of the system (controls the natural intelligence of the body and stores behaviour patterns and memories - good and bad! The subconscious mind can be likened to a 5 year old or the film in a camera. Film does not judge whether or not you have taken a good picture, it simply records the image). Hypnotherapy allows us to access the subconscious part of our minds.

Why use Hypnotherapy? What is particularly wonderful about the use of Hypnotherapy is the fact that it is natural and safe. Almost everyone can learn to use self-hypnosis. It can be used by adults, adolescents and children.

Hypnotherapy has many applications. It can deeply calm the mind, release mental and physical tension, be used as an anaesthetic. Hypnotherapy can deepen self-awareness, transform toxic negative self-defeating thought patterns, to help focus energy on what we want to bring into our lives. Hypnotherapy is fantastic for natural child birthing.
