What is Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in ideas or behaviour
The subconcious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body, including habits and things that we do 'automatically'. The subconcious mind also contains memories of every single thing that has occurred to us.
In hypnosis the mind is very receptive to new ideas and open to suggestions which encourage more sensible, balanced or helpful attitudes to reality
For some conditions, regression techniques can be used. This may mean re-examining events which influenced us at an earlier time in our life. By bringing these memories to the surface the subconscious mind is able to discharge the negative effects and can be 're-programmed' for success.
The number of sessions required usually varies from person to person, however most people feel some benefit from hypnotherapy immediately.
CDs are usually provided for your continued use at home and you will be advised on how and when to use them.
Other uses for hypnotherapy
Sports performance
Hypnosis is often used in sports psychology to bring the best out of athletes. People who expect to excel usually do. Mentally rehearsing a successful game can fire neurons in the brain in exactly the same patterns they would follow when actually performing the activity.
Creativity
Hypnosis is the ideal state for enhancing creativity and imaginative pursuits. Many artists, writers, musicians and inventors have produced there best works during trance states when ideas flow more easily
Self Healing
In group experiments, tests have shown that patients treated with hypnotherapy have enhanced anatomical and fracture healing.
