What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of complementary therapy that uses the power of positive suggestion to bring about subconscious change. During a session, a state of focused relaxation, often referred to as a trance, is induced to allow access to the subconscious mind. This state enables individuals to embrace new thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that align with their desired outcomes.
Why Does Hypnotherapy Work?
Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the critical conscious mind and accessing the subconscious, where ingrained beliefs, habits, and patterns are stored. This process enables the practitioner to help clients identify and alter negative thought patterns, reduce stress, and foster positive changes. Studies suggest that hypnosis can effectively address conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and smoking cessation by promoting neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and change.
