This gives others the ability to form trusting and healthy relationships, inner-happiness, and positive thinking patterns in a compassionate, supportive, and safe environment.Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can be an aid or an alternative treatment to psychotherapy for psychological concerns and responses to physical pain. You have already experienced a hypnotic state such as getting lost in a book, watching a movie, or driving and not realizing that you have reached your destination. During the hypnotic state, you are in a highly focused state of attention and concentration (trance) that helps increase your awareness and capacity to go beyond any limiting beliefs for further self-discovery. Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level where it is more highly suggestible than the conscious mind, which can help you to achieve your goals or to overcome maladaptive habits and thinking patterns.
Is it Safe and Will I Know What is Happening During My Session?
Yes, hypnotherapy is safe and a natural state of awareness. You are awake the entire session and aware of your surroundings. You are in control of everything that happens and you will not do anything that you would not normally do. If you may choose to, you can stop the session at any time and will be fully alert. Depending upon the severity of the emotional material or how deeply the emotional material is embedded into the subconscious, it is possible that this emotional material may continue to surface after the session and require further treatment.
Benefits of Hypnosis
Research supports hypnosis as an effective method to treat various problematic issues such as:
anxiety, traumatic experience, bad habits, poor stress management/difficulty relaxing, grief/loss, phobias, insomnia, lack of self confidence, responses to physical pain, and many others.
Hypnosis helps to alter your perceptions and reality of your situation to create a more adaptive way of living and gaining a sense of freedom from your problem. Further, hypnotherapy may help to recover repressed memories that were hidden in the unconscious and explore painful thoughts, feelings or memories (including past trauma) that may have been blocked on a conscious level.
Is Hypnotherapy for everyone?
Hypnotherapy is not for someone who suffers from psychotic symptoms such as auditory/visual hallucinations, extreme paranoia, or delusions. Sessions will not be done if you are under the influence of any mind-altering drugs, or alcohol. If you are under the care of a physician/therapist and/or taking prescribed medications, you may require a referral indicating approval with your permission to help ensure that the hypnotherapy will not interfere with your medications and to support your treatment.
