Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a heightened state of suggestibility that everyone experiences on a daily basis. Have you ever been watching a movie and cried, got scared or had an emotional reaction to it? If so, then you were in a hypnotic state.

If you ever missed your exit while driving your regular commute because you’re “spaced out”, you were in hypnosis.

It is during these periods that our subconscious mind is extremely open and receptive to suggestions. This can come from our own thoughts or from our environment.

The truth is, we go in and out of hypnosis several times a day without even knowing it.

Why Choose Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is simply combining the powerful tool of hypnosis in a safe environment with a skilled, understanding, trained hypnotherapist. The first step is to discuss any goals or desires you may have with your Hypnotherapist. At that point you both agree on a therapeutic approach to solving your problem.

While under hypnosis, your Hypnotherapist will work with your subconscious mind to support these goals becoming a reality in your life.

During the hypnotic session, you are not asleep. In fact, your mind is quite alert and you are very in tune with all that is happening around you. Your senses are heightened and you are able to concentrate on what the Hypnotherapist is saying.

Everything that occurs during your Hypnotherapy session can be recalled. You will leave feeling refreshed and alert with a wonderful sense of well-being.

It is important to know that most issues will require more than one session and some may require several sessions before success is achieved. It takes time and repetition for new things to be integrated into the subconscious mind.

What is a Hypnotherapist?

A hypnotherapist is a trained professional who utilizes hypnosis as a primary tool for assisting clients to achieve their goals. A Hypnotherapist often differs from others therapists by focusing on the role of subconscious behaviors and influences on the client’s life.

It is important for you to choose a well trained Hypnotherapist.  Do not hesitate to ask where the Hypnotherapist attended school.  Was it a college or a weekend class?  This information could be a critical factor to the results you may have in hypnosis sessions.

As for myself,  I am proud to say that I graduated from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, a highly accredited college in the United States. My course studies were a year long and even though I have graduated, I continue to further my education regularly, through courses offered by the American Hypnosis Association.
