Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is best described as a very deep state of relaxation - in other words: a normal, natural, healthy state of mind.

Clinical hypnosis is an altered state of awareness, perception or consciousness that is used, by licensed and trained therapists, for treating a psychological or physical problem. It is a highly relaxed state.

Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention. It is like using a magnifying glass to focus the rays of the sun and make them more powerful. Because hypnosis allows people to use more of their potential, learning self-hypnosis is the ultimate act of self-control.

In a clinical hypnotherapy session, clients are conscious; they are awake, participating, and remembering. The definition of hypnotherapy is evident in the word itself. Hypnotherapy is the practice of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes.

• Helping people quit smoking or reduce overeating by focusing their minds and suggesting healthier behavior.

• Accessing the mind-body link to relieve chronic and acute pain, including during surgery and childbirth.

• Diving deep into the subconscious mind to uncover and treat the root causes of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.

The idea that hypnotists can take over the minds of their subjects and control their actions is, of course, nothing but a stage show. In the trance state, you control all of your actions, you can hear everything around you, and you cannot be forced to do something against your will.

Hypnosis is a normal, naturally occurring, drug-free, healthy state of mind and hypnotherapy is the powerful art of using it in the process of healing.
