What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy, also known as hypnosis, is a powerful technique in mind-body medicine that induces a heightened state of concentration and focused attention. With the guidance of a trained and certified hypnotherapist, individuals can access a deep level of relaxation and openness to beneficial suggestions, fostering positive changes in perceptions, sensations, emotions, memories, thoughts, and behaviors.

While the exact mechanisms underlying hypnosis remain not fully understood, researchers and practitioners believe that this therapeutic technique operates through several key components:

  • Deep Relaxation: Hypnosis induces a state of profound relaxation, which lowers stress and anxiety levels. This tranquility creates an ideal environment for the mind to become more responsive to positive changes to the subconscious mind.

  • Heightened Concentration: Under hypnosis, an individual's focus and concentration are intensified, enabling them to tune out distractions and heighten their receptivity to therapeutic guidance.

  • Accessing the Subconscious: The subconscious mind, which is typically shielded from conscious awareness, becomes more accessible during hypnosis. This heightened access allows individuals to explore and address deeply ingrained thoughts and behaviours that might be limiting their well-being.

  • Solution Focused Reset: Once the subconscious mind is receptive, the hypnotherapist can help clients find and replace unwanted patterns, lessening the intensity of past memories. Through techniques like free-flowing hypnosis or guided imagery, individuals can create new, healthier habits and responses to various triggers.
