Hypnosis

Hypnosis (or hypnotherapy) is another form of energy healing medicine, and a therapeutic technique that helps clients access a relaxed, focused state of mind to facilitate healing, personal growth, and behavior change.

It is a practice that facilitates the relaxation of the conscious “thinking” mind in order to access the wisdom and guidance of one’s subconscious mind, where deep-seated beliefs, patterns, and memories reside. This can help resolve issues such as stress, anxiety, pain, or trauma.

Hypnosis is a natural and spontaneous state that everyone experiences several times a day! Bypassing the logical and analytical mind, information from the senses enters the emotional space of the subconscious.

Examples of everyday hypnosis include times of worry, being entranced in a movie, and our waking up/dozing off state.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning that it is not something that someone else does to you, but rather you give yourself permission to let go of conscious thought and trust the information that bubbles up from your subconscious.

During a hypnosis session, you will remain awake, aware, and in control throughout the entire process.

In a hypnotic state (a relaxed, trance-like or meditative state) you will never be made to say or do anything you are uncomfortable with.

Misconceptions around hypnosis and hypnotists are what many have seen in the media, most likely for the purposes of entertainment, and are VERY different from therapeutic hypnosis.

If you experience borderline personality disorder or another mental, clinical diagnosis, a referral note from a psychiatrist or psychotherapist is required.
