ABOUT CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnotic techniques in such a way as to bring therapeutic change. It can be successful where other therapies are not.

The health education authority has stated that research shows that there is more scientific evidence for hypnotherapy than any other complimentary therapy.

By using hypnosis people can perform prodigious feats of willpower and self healing.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis can be described as nothing more that a natural state of deep relaxation. It is a natural brain wave state that we enter into many times a day, for example; have you ever driven along a road and can only remember part of the journey or when we are watching TV you don't remember part of the programme or when you are reading a book and can't remember the last page you read.

When we are watching TV we drift in and out of trance and it is then we are most susceptible to advertisements, which is why they are placed in the middle of programmes.

The trance state is when both mind and body are totally relaxed, and contrary to what stage shows would have you believe, you are in control at all times. You can only accept suggestions that are in accord with your own values.
