HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnosis is simply a focused state of attention, when your mind is focused on one thing to the exclusion of everything else. Any time that you have been deeply engrossed in something; whether it be a good book, a movie or even a physical experience, and you lost track of time ; you were in a state of hypnosis or trance, also known as being in the flow or in the zone. It is a perfectly natural state that you will experience many times in a day, especially when you are involved in activites that are very familiar, such as driving your car on a well known route or even when you find yourself daydreaming.
It is very similar to the state you experience just before you drift off to sleep, when you are vaguely aware of what is going on around you but you are so comfortable that you do not really feel the need to pay attention any more. While you are in this focused state you can absorb any positive suggestions that are given to you and as a result you can reprogramme your mind in a way that will serve you best.
Hypnosis is an effective way of making contact with your inner (unconscious) self, which is a reservoir of unrecognised potential and knowledge as well as being the unwitting source of many problems. It is a fact that no-one can be hypnotised against their will. Even when hypnotised a person can still reject any suggestions they do not agree with. At all times they are fully in control and cannot be made to do anything that they do not want to do, and cannot be forced to say anything they do not want to either, it is even possible to lie whilst in the trance state.
Therapetic hypnosis is very different to Stage Hypnosis, where the hypnotist seems to have control, it must be remembered that in that case as soon as people go on stage they are giving permission to the hypnotist to give them foolish tasks to accomplish and for the duration of the show they are the stars. The more they perform, the more applause and good feeling they generate.
Therapeutic hypnosis involves a partnership between you and the therapist, where you find an agreed upon goal and decide on the best suggestions that will help you achieve it, the therapist merely serving as a guide in the process. When carried out by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist, the benefits are long lasting and usually permanent. It is completely natural and safe, with no harmful side effects.
