What is Hypnotherapy and how can it help me?

Have you ever driven your car home from work and felt like you don’t remember the drive home? Or watching television and haven’t realised the show you were watching is already over?  This is a trance like state, that is very similar to being under Hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy uses exercises that relax a person, bring them to an altered state of consciousness, This process focuses on mastering self-awareness. Through trance-like analysis, hypnosis decreases a person’s blood pressure, and heart rate, putting their  physical body at ease.

Working with a person’s memories, hypnotherapy helps a person to reframe, relax, dissociate, respond and reflect on their experiences.

 The Clinical Hypnotherapist is the facilitator who guides the client into hypnosis with their vocal and professional skills, into a relaxed and altered state to enable the healing of past trauma, or issues, so that personal growth can take place.

Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years dating back to Ancient Greece and India.

There are some common fears around hypnosis, such as the Hypnotherapist “Will take control of my mind” or that it “may make me blurt out my deepest and darkest secrets”. This is not true. When you are in a hypnotic trance state, you are still aware of everything that is going on around you (indeed some studies suggest you are actually more aware) so you are free to say as much or as little as you wish.

Hypnotherapy has been found to be very powerful in eliminating stress and anxiety disorders, relationship issues, depression, grief phobias, sexual problems, confidence and self esteem issues and even addictions.

If you are feeling frustrated about wanting to make a change in your life, and you feel nothing has seemed to have given you the results you are looking for, why don’t you give Hypnotherapy a shot. .You don’t even need to tell or repeat your story if you don’t want to.   Relax and let your mind do all the work.
