Hypnosis and trance states are natural phenomenon which occur regularly in your daily life. You know those times when you pause for a moment and fix your attention on something in the distance, or a dot on the wall and become oblivious to anything around you? That is an example of being in trance. You will also experience trance states when you become fully engaged (entranced) watching a TV programme, when reading and also when driving your car. While people are in trance they become highly suggestible. Hypnotherapy is a specific process used to place you in a state of heightened susceptability to therapeutic suggestions.
Using hypnosis we can work with your subconscious mind to help you quickly and efficiently resolve subconscious issues, fears, anxieties. As our perception often depends on subconscious interpretation of minutiae which we are often unaware of, hypnotherapy can also be used for reducing pain and minimising discomfort caused by real physical injuries and illnesses.
Previously subject to criticism when the mechanisms involving hypnotherapy were not well understood, during the last fifty years hypnotherapy has been researched and developed and is now used to treat a range of psychological and physical disorders including nicotine, alcohol and other addictions, weight loss, pain prevention, irritable bowel syndrome and child birth. In the United Kingdom, hypnotherapy is now used for a range of problems by the National Health Service (NHS).
Hypnotherapy is a safe, relaxing way of improving your health, increasing motivation and getting the most out of life.
