Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a powerful modality that combines counseling (therapy)
and hypnosis. It can help the client better understand themselves,
change bad habits into good ones, and transform negative thoughts and
feelings into positive ones.
Therapy or counseling applies to the conscious mind. It enlists the help of the intellect, to solve problems and relieve stress. When you appeal to the conscious mind you will undoubtedly gain a lot of knowledge about and useful tools for positive thinking. But often, the more reasoning and intellectualizing you engage in, the greater the tendency to rationalize, to develop alibis, and to protect the subconscious from changing your behavior. When in the hypnotic state you can easily make positive changes because your subconscious mind is more open to suggestions for positive change. Any habit can be easily and quickly changed while working with the subconscious.
Hypnosis is very relaxing and refreshing. It is a heightened state of consciousness or an altered state. The client allows him/her self to enter this state, it cannot be forced upon anyone. After a state of deep natural relaxation is reached, active thoughts or suggestions are placed in the mind to help the client achieve his or her goal. The suggestions will be of tremendous benefit when absorbed by the subconscious mind. Hypnosis works because the suggestions integrate with the subconscious mind. The new thoughts will be enforced by the subconscious. The Hypnosis session usually takes place with the client sitting comfortably in a chair, and takes from 45 minutes to an hour.
MOST problems are resolved in 3 to 5 sessions. Each session is tailored to the clients needs.
