What is Hypnosis?

Recognized by the American Medical Association since 1958 and taught in many medical schools including Harvard University, hypnosis and hypnotherapy is used to help patients overcome chronic pain, create anesthesia, and heal psycho-genic illnesses. In fact hypnosis can be traced all the way back to ancient cultures and has been used in modern culture for over 200 years. It is estimated that approximately 85% of people will readily respond to clinical hypnotherapy. It may even succeed where other, more conventional methods of treatment have not produced the desired results

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind where the critical factor (which facilitates communication between the conscious and the subconscious mind) is relaxed and selective thinking is maintained. Once you have opened communication with your subconscious, you can discover any limiting ideas, or beliefs, that may be holding you back. With hypnosis we help you change self limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE FEAR HYPNOSIS?

Many people fear hypnosis because of the way it has been portrayed in books, movies, television, and by stage hypnotists. Professional hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy is very different from those portrayals. Hypnosis is very similar to daydreaming or being so completely engrossed in a book or TV program that you will pay no attention to someone speaking in the same room. Yet when a person is in hypnosis they are aware of their surroundings and at a moment’s notice are able to cope with an emergency if one was to arise.

WHY ISN’T IT EASY TO DO ON MY OWN?

Hypnosis The Model of the Mind the conscious mind has logic, reason, will, and determination.

Actually it’s our subconscious mind that drives us. If there is a habit, pattern or belief in the subconscious that overrides your conscious wishes, your subconscious will win every time. Through Hypnosis, the subconscious is reprogrammed for the results you desire.

The subconscious mind holds your emotions and your memory bank thus allowing hypnosis to bring about the desired changes, much more efficiently by going directly to the source.

Through hypnosis, your subconscious mind can facilitate healing the body, overcome bad habits, 
and help you get control of your life.
