What is Hypnotherapy?

We all go into a trance every day maybe reading, or watching the television, and that imaginary world can become real in your mind, in the sense that it fully engages your emotions. As you get fully engrossed in the story, your worries fade away until all you are thinking about is the story - you become highly suggestible to the positive messages the therapist is giving you.

Some clients go into trance deeply even in the first session, whilst others only experience a light trance. However for hypnosis to be effective it doesn't matter if you go into a light trance or a deeper one. It is a truly enjoyable experience.

For hypnosis to be effective, it is very important you trust the therapist you are working with, and to feel comfortable with them, you are always in charge at all times during hypnosis. If you don't feel comfortable with your practitioner you might create resistance to your own success. This is why it is important to find someone you trust.

Some people think that they will lose control whilst in hypnosis. This is not so, they remain in full control the whole time. They cannot be made to do anything against their will (unfortunately this is probably because of the misconception of stage hypnosis). No one can get stuck in hypnosis, and no one can be made to say or do anything they do not want to do.

Hypnotherapy is therapy using Hypnosis to treat many conditions including stress, anxiety, panic, phobias, smoking over-eating, binge drinking, lack of confidence, fear of examinations, irritable bowel syndrome, and sports performance. It can also help with relationship difficulties, natural birthing and much, much more.

In fact hypnotherapy is pleasant and relaxing, and it is extremely enjoyable. So unlike a visit to the dentist, a hypnotherapy session can often be something to look forward to!
