Hypnotherapy Session

During hypnosis, a trained and certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist guides you into a deep state of focus and relaxation with verbal cues, repetition, and imagery. When you’re under hypnosis, this intense level of concentration and focus allows you to ignore ordinary distractions and be more open to guided suggestions to make changes to improve your health and wellbeing. 
 
Once you are in a deep state of focus and relaxation that’s achieved with hypnosis, your conscious mind is quieted. You are then able to tap into the part of your brain where your thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, sensations, emotions, memory and behaviors originate. In this state, you’re more open to gentle guidance from your hypnotherapist to help you modify or replace the unconscious thoughts that are driving your current behavior. In this state, you can break through limited beliefs and change your habits to change your life. The hypnotherapist can work with you to develop a session specific to your needs and goals. 
 
Your hypnotherapist guides hypnosis, but hypnosis is something you do for yourself. You can’t be made to do anything against your will. You won’t reveal any information that you wished to remain secret. You don’t lose control over your behavior. Hypnosis makes it easier to experience suggestions but doesn’t force you to have certain experiences.
 
Hypnosis isn’t sleeping. There are some deeper forms of hypnosis that could make you appear to be asleep because your body is very still and quiet, but you aren’t asleep. Most people remember everything that happens during hypnosis. You remain aware of who you are, where you are and remember what happened during a hypnosis session. Each person differs in their ability to be hypnotized. A person’s fears or concerns about hypnosis may interfere with their ability to be hypnotized.
 
Hypnosis is used to treat a variety of issues including but not limited to: stress, anxiety, phobias, behavior control issues such as smoking and losing weight, insomnia, pain management, performance enhancement for competitions and sports, and so much more!
