How Hypnotherapy Works

Many people are curious about how hypnotherapy works but are unsure what actually happens during a session.

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention where the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and change.

During hypnotherapy the conscious mind becomes relaxed while the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to new patterns and responses.

This allows long-standing habits, fears and emotional responses to be addressed at a deeper level.

The Conscious and Subconscious Mind

The conscious mind handles logical thinking, decisions and willpower.

The subconscious mind stores habits, emotional responses and automatic behaviours.

Many issues such as anxiety, smoking habits or confidence problems are maintained by subconscious patterns.

Hypnotherapy works by helping the subconscious mind replace these patterns with healthier responses.

What Happen During a Hypnotherapy Session.

During a hypnotherapy session clients remain aware and in control at all times.

The session usually involves:

• discussing the issue you want to change
• entering a relaxed hypnotic state
• introducing positive suggestions to the subconscious mind
• reinforcing new patterns and behaviours

Many clients describe the experience as deeply relaxing and calming.

Is Hypnotherapy Safe?

During hypnosis you remain aware and in control at all times. You cannot be made to do anything against your will and you can end the session at any time.

Most clients simply experience hypnosis as a deeply relaxed state where the mind becomes more open to helpful suggestions and positive change.

Many people find the experience calming and leave sessions feeling more relaxed and clear minded.
