Hypnosis is a method of inducing a trance or a dream-like state of deep ​relaxation in order to treat disorders of a mainly psychological or emotional ​origin. It has been practiced in various forms for thousands of years by many ​cultures.

Hypnosis can help you change thoughts, attitudes, and perceptions. In our ​practice, Hypnosis is used to help people change behaviors or habits through ​a process of relaxation and visualization that brings them into a trance like ​state where suggestions can be made to help the client achieve certain goals.

The Hypnotic State.

The brain has different levels of consciousness, or awareness, ranging from ​fully alert to drowsy to fully asleep, with variations in between. Hypnotic ​states occur naturally and spontaneously.

Everyday examples include:

• Daydreaming
  
• Being absorbed in a pleasant task and losing track of time
  
• Doing a mundane task (such as washing the dishes) while thinking about ​something else, to the degree that you can’t actually remember ​performing the task.
  
• Getting lulled into a dreamy state by boredom, for example, when listening ​to a dull speech.
  

Hypnosis deliberately induces a relaxed state of awareness. Some ​researchers believe that hypnosis promotes particular brain wave activity ​that allows the mind to take in and adopt new ideas, while others suggest that ​hypnosis accesses the ‘unconscious mind’, which is more open to new ideas ​than the rational ‘conscious mind’.

What to expect during a session?

During your session your goals will be reviewed, and a plan created to ​maximize your progress. This will include how many treatments may be ​needed. You’ll learn more about what hypnosis is and is not. You’ll also learn ​about self-hypnosis, a process you can use yourself to continue the work at ​home.
