SHORT EXPLANATION OF HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnosis has been used in many cultures for centuries to bring about personal change at an unconscious level. Today, hypnosis is widely associated with stage performers and this has created some misconceptions surrounding its application.

Hypnotherapy is entirely different from the type of hypnosis you may have experienced in the entertainment world. When applied for personal development in a therapeutic setting it is an extremely effective way of allowing you to generate positive and helpful resources within your subconscious mind.

Although there is no such thing as a “hypnotised feeling” you are aware of becoming very relaxed. You can still hear everything around you and you cannot do anything against your own free will. In fact you can even choose to come out of hypnosis any time you want.

A hypnotic state is fairly similar to daydreaming; only you are able to deliberately direct your thoughts towards making the changes you need. Most people say that hypnosis is a pleasant experience where you simply go with the flow and learn more about yourself.

In scientific studies, hypnotherapy has been ranked as the most effective method of quitting bad habits such as smoking and over eating. It is also universally recognised as being a powerful tool to help achieve any goal that relies on you having a resourceful state of mind.
