HYPNOTHERAPY FAQ

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic intervention that blends hypnosis techniques with traditional counseling. During hypnotherapy, guided imagery, deep relaxation, and intense focus combine to create a heightened sense of awareness. It is faster, easier, and more effective to work through painful emotions and negative behaviors in this state. By using hypnosis to communicate with your subconscious mind, you can explore thoughts, emotions, or experiences you may have blocked from conscious memory. This can help you uncover the root of troubling symptoms and heal from forgotten childhood trauma. You also become more readily open to suggestions, enabling you to change negative habits or behaviors.

Hypnotherapy is safe and natural. It has been practiced for more than 100 years! In 1955 the British Medical Society recognized hypnosis as a legitimate form of treatment
