About Hypnosis

Hypnosis is Effective

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness. Some people describe hypnosis as a normal state of focused attention. They report they feeling very relaxed and calm.

Because people are open to suggestion while in a hypnotic state, they can learn to change their thoughts, feelings, behaviour& attitudes. People can take these changes that happen during hypnosis and use them for self-improvement in their usual state of consciousness.

When clinical hypnosis is used with the body's natural healing processes there develops significant healing.

Today, hypnosis has far reaching clinical benefits and has been approved by many facets of the mainstream medical community. Hypnosis has been used to treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, offers pain relief, facilitates weight loss, healthy eating, smoking cessation, improves self-confidence, provides motivation and much more. <more info>

Detailed Information About Your Hypnosis Sessions

Hypnosis is Safe

Hypnosis is a safe tool that enables a person to go deeper into their unconscious mind than is possible in a waking state. For personal growth purposes, we work together to access your unconscious, accessing past events that require healing or closure, traveling back to the root cause of negative behaviours.

Healing the Past to Move Forwards

Using Past Life Regression Therapy and Time Line Therapy, you may access any traumas of the past to allow healing to take place. The healing is integrated in to your mind, body and spirit with your permission before you bring yourself out of hypnosis. This method can also help with the grieving process.

Children
Children from as young as 3 years old can be assisted with hypnotherapy, although their sessions may only last 20 minutes, unlike an adults hour long treatment. Costs are pro rata e.g. 20 minute session will be 1/3 of an hourly session cost.

Self-hypnosis

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis!

In addition to hypnotherapy sessions, we work together to create powerful personalized affirmations, using self-hypnosis to strengthen your habit changes; you may use these at appropriate times to help you to deal with stresses, to provide feelings of safety or to simply remind you that you are moving forwards.

More Information on How Hypnosis Works

The Certified Hypnotherapist uses the clients' pre-defined goals to create powerful suggestions that are readily accepted. By using the clients' own wording and terminology, the helpful suggestions become a part of their inner reality; repetition transforms these into new behaviour patterns.

When the mind accepts agreeable new ways of behaving, it physically creates new neuron pathways in the brains' structure. Each time the behaviour is reinforced, the lining of the new neuron becomes thicker, and the action becomes more automatic.

When a new behaviour is practiced daily for between 21 and 28 days, it becomes your new habit; the old neuron pathway literally fades away as the new becomes stronger. Hypnosis can also help you to access past events, the subconscious mind has no awareness of time and can take you back to any event you have experienced. We allow your subconscious mind to travel back to the root causes of behaviours or to traumatic events in your past; here we facilitate healing using gestalt or visualization techniques. You become more whole, more confident - empowered! <top>
