Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration.

 

Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you’re under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions.

 

Hypnosis can be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviours or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain. It’s important to know that although you’re more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don’t lose control over your behaviour.

 

It is used for phobias, anxiety,  pain management, weight loss,  and to help ease physical, mental, emotional, behavioral (smoking, addiction, nail-biting) and psychological symptoms (stress, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression), so that individuals can live happy and productive lives.

 

It is important to note, however, that although hypnotherapy is considered complementary or alternative treatment, it is still a highly-regulated, legitimate form of psychotherapy that is sometimes used to help people cope with distressing and painful events
