hypnotherapy

---

Hypnotherapy is guided hypnosis, or a trance-like state of focus and concentration achieved with the help of a hypnotherapist.

In this state, clients can turn their attention completely inward to find and utilize the natural resources deep within themselves that can help them make changes or regain control in certain areas of their life. 

The goal for hypnotherapy is to help a patient learn to better control their state of awareness. 

Hypnotherapy Treatments:

- Alcohol abuse 

- Smoking addiction

- Stress

- Insomnia (sleeping disorder)

- Fear & Phobias

- Depression

- Weight loss / gain

How does it work?

A hypnotherapy session usually lasts about an hour. A therapist uses various relaxation techniques to guide you into a hypnotic state. In this state, you are still conscious and aware. Your body becomes more relaxed and the mind more responsive to suggestions from the therapist.

The therapist’s suggestions will depend on the condition or behavior you are trying to treat. Hypnotherapy can help target unwanted or unhealthy habits and possibly replace them with healthier behaviors.

What to Expect

Although there are different techniques, clinical hypnotherapy is generally performed in a calm, therapeutic environment. The therapist will guide you into a relaxed, focused state and ask you 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 therapist’s suggestions, but it is up to you to decide whether or not to act on them.
