What is Hypnotherapy?
The term "hypnosis" is derived from the Greek word Hypnos - meaning "sleep." Hypnotherapists generally use exercises that bring about deep relaxation and an altered state of consciousness, which is sometimes known as a 'trance."
​
Most of us have regularly experienced a "trance like state" when we watch TV, daydream or sit at a red light in our car.
​
A person in a "trance like" or deeply focused state, is generally quite receptive to an idea or image. However, this doesn't mean that a hypnotherapist can control the persons mind or free will.
​
It does mean that the hypnotherapist can work with you to train or guide them on how they can master their own states of awareness and wellbeing.
​
By being able to master your own state of awareness and wellbeing, you are able to positively influence your own bodily functions, emotional and mental responses to situations and life events that are no longer positively working for you.
