Hypnosis is the use of trance to make changes at the subconcious level. It is a deeply relaxing calm state where you are in control and in charge - Founder Milton Erickson

Hypnosis is the use of trance to make changes at the subconcious level. It is a deeply relaxing calm state where you are in control and in charge. The belief that somebody can be hypnotized against there will is just a myth ! In fact you will reject any suggestion given to you which is against your values. In many ways hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness where you can make deep and lasting changes to thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Hypnosis works on the belief that we have a concious mind and an subconcious mind. The subconcious mind hold all the information which is outside of your conciousness, manages sensations and body functions.

As you read this you are probably not even aware of your body -your breathing, your movements, your posture, your heart beating, your digestion working, your eyes blinking and all our reactions to stimuli.

Do you ever drive your car from A to B and then wonder how you got there! Were you on automatic pilot and thinking about all sorts of other things? Was it your conscious mind driving or your unconscious? Especially when it is a familiar route – THINK ABOUT IT!

If anything would have happened you would have reacted in a second.

So who is managing all this?

Our subconscious mind - these are all forms of hypnosis or trance like states which happen every day of our lives.

Am I put to sleep?

There are many misconceptions about hypnosis which should be dispelled. The technique does not involve the client being put into a deep sleep, they may feel very relaxed but the client cannot be made to do anything without being totally congruent with it. They remain fully aware of their surroundings and situation, and are not vulnerable to every given suggestion made by the therapist. The important thing is that the client wants to change some behaviour or habit and is highly motivated to do so. They have to want the treatment to work and must commit 100%, establishing trust and a good rapport with the therapist first.

Many of these problems can be dealt with in only a few sessions
