Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a trance-like state of focused attention, deep relaxation, and heightened suggestibility. It is a deep meditative state with a purpose. During hypnosis, a person's brainwaves slow down, attention is intensely focused on a specific idea, memory, or sensation while distractions are blocked out. This altered state of consciousness allows individuals to access the subconscious and the information stored within it. In a hypnotic state, the mind becomes open to suggestions and can be guided into deep self exploration.

In a therapeutic context, hypnosis has traditionally been used to help people manage pain, reduce stress and anxiety, overcome phobias, improve sleep, and address various behavioral issues such as smoking cessation and weight loss. In reality, the information provided by the subconscious can potentially help any condition one is dealing with. While it is not a magic bullet or pill, it allows one to explore their own unconscious so as to examine and better understand the root of the cause. Becoming conscious of limiting beliefs and automatic subconscious programs is often the first step in changing unwanted or self-sabotaging behavior.

Many patients find it extremely helpful to access repressed memories and unprocessed emotions as they explore the root(s) of their issues. This allows processing, release and reframing of limiting/old beliefs and unconscious patterns of behavior that no longer serve us. You have to REVEAL IT to HEAL IT!
