'Hypnosis-Change' Clinical Hypnotherapy

isorder (OCD), low self esteem, smoking, IBS, depression and motivation. Also for weight loss, gambling addictions, improving relationships and communication issues. Hypnosis is a completely natural state that we all experience every day of our lives. It’s daydreaming, losing track of time, being totally relaxed and tuning out. Babies and young children actually spend most of their time in a hypnotic state. What is Hypnotherapy? It’s our unconscious minds that produce our behaviour but sometimes that behaviour can have a negative effect on our lives. During a normal waking state our conscious mind questions everything that’s said to us but during hypnotherapy we enter a relaxed hypnotic or focused state and the hypnotherapist is able to speak directly to our unconscious mind and give positive therapeutic suggestions. Even during this hypnotic state our conscious mind is still aware, if at any time we feel our attention is needed we are instantly fully alert. What happens during a hypnotherapy session? The first visit the session will begin with a consultation during which the hypnotherapist will ask you questions related to the reason for your visit. The therapist will also explain exactly what will happen during the session and answer any questions you may have. The actual Hypnosis will take 30-40 minutes. What does hypnotherapy feel like? Most people experience hypnosis as a wonderfully relaxing feeling, similar to the feeling you have as you wake from sleep. However, even if you enter a deep hypnotic state you will always be aware of your surroundings and feel totally in control of everything you say and do. Can anybody be hypnotised? It’s thought that around 95% of people can be hypnotised to some degree but because you are always in control, we believe that if you are capable of following some simple instructions and you are happy to work with your hypnotherapist then anyone can benefit from hypnotherapy. Can I be hypnotised against my will? NO – It is impossible to hypnotise anyone against their will. You also won't do or say anything that you wouldn't normally do or say. Ultimately you are in control, the Therapist is just working with you to get the results you want. Also nobody has ever been hypnotized and not come out of it. How long does it take to get results? It ranges from person to person but a general shift in your thinking (about the issue treated) can be felt straight away or it can happen subtly over 5-10 days. It depends on the person and the number and severity of issue being addressed. Most individual issues can be addressed in one session.
