Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a natural, normal, healthy state of mind. It is essentially a deep state of relaxation which, as a process, helps people develop an altered state of consciousness.
Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis to create positive change mentally, emotionally, physically, and psychologically. When used in therapy, Hypnosis assists in the distraction of the conscious mind allowing access to the unconscious mind through guided imagination and trance.
When in hypnosis, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the brain) takes a rest. Hypnosis allows people to tap into the storehouse of information that our unconscious mind has been cataloguing and utilizing to create our reality. By accessing the unconscious mind we can make positive changes to habits, thought patterns, and the effects of traumatic incidents that are having a negative impact our mental state or physical wellbeing.
