Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnotic techniques specifically designed to bring about beneficial changes. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, sometimes described as an altered state of consciousness, a focused awareness, a very comfortable state where you can experience deep bodily relaxation and a mental alertness.
Although deeply relaxed you are not asleep but awake enough to be aware, you know where you are, can hear people talking to you, but you remain completely absorbed in what you are doing.
In hypnosis the imagination rather than the intellect is active and in this comfortable relaxed state the conscious mind takes a back seat to the sub-conscious and your therapist can then assist in activating your inner resources to help you achieve realistic goals.
Hypnotherapy is not a miracle cure, but something that is completely natural and safe; it is a tool that can be used for effecting positive change. The client, along with a skilled and professionally trained hypnotherapist together form a team with a strong commitment to succeed in producing long lasting changes
