What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a mental state of highly focused concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestibility. There are numerous techniques that experts employ for inducing such a state. Capitalizing on the power of suggestion, hypnosis is often used to help people relax, diminish the sensation of pain, or facilitate a desired behavioral change.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is guided hypnosis, or a trance-like state of focus and concentration achieved with the help of a clinical hypnotherapist. This trance-like state is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, music, or your own thoughts or meditations. In this state, you can turn your attention completely inward to find and utilize the natural resources deep within yourself. This can help you make changes, or regain control, in certain areas of your life.

What is a Hypnotherapy session like?

Hypnotherapy is generally performed in a calm, therapeutic environment. The hypnotherapist will guide you to a relaxed and highly focused state. You will then be asked to think about experiences and situations in positive ways that can help you change the way you think and behave. Unlike some dramatic portrayals of hypnosis in movies, books, or on stage, you will not be unconscious, asleep, or in any way out of control of yourself. You will hear the hypnotherapist’s suggestions, but it is up to you to decide whether or not to act upon them.

Is Hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, Hypnotherapy is totally safe when it’s lead by a certified Hypnotherapist. Many people wonder whether a hypnotist will be able to control their mind, a feat that is not possible. Individuals who are hypnotized still have freewill, and while they are more open to suggestion, they won’t act in ways they would ordinarily find objectionable. Clients remain in control during the entire hypnotherapy session, and afterward.
