Hypnosis is a process used to reach the sub-
Within hypnosis, you can learn to tune into your feelings and associate your thoughts with your feelings, and then learn to be more discerning in your conscious waking state when a certain feeling or thought arises. In this manner, merely by recognizing the connection of the thought and emotion, you are stopping the automatic, or trigger reaction. This is essential when dealing with behavioural changes.
Many people are wary of hypnosis and have misconceptions around the process of hypnosis. The hypnotic state is a very natural state of physical relaxation and heightened mental awareness. We slide in and out of different states of consciousness all day long, and we often enter a hypnotic trance state while wide awake. One example of this kind of trance state is road hypnosis. When you are driving, you often slip into a trance state because of the constant movement of the car and the road going by. Sometimes you may become drowsy while driving or not remember driving the most recent mile or so on your trip, or you may even miss your exit on the motorway. Another common trance state is when you are very absorbed in watching a film or reading a book, you may even not hear someone in the same room talking to you. You are in a waking trance state when these situations occur.
There are many myths surrounding hypnosis, which are usually from books, comics and
films. Below are some truths:-

It’s successful for many issues
Clients feel relaxed and calm
Helps clients make changes
It’s a brief effective therapy
Will Hypnotherapy work for me?
Most people would agree that this is the question most people ask when thinking about using hypnotherapy.
Research shows, that hypnotherapy produces positive results and is often successful where many other treatments have not been effective.
You may know people who somehow seem determined to get over difficulties in their
life -
Instinctively we all know that how we feel and think makes a real difference to what happens. Confidence in treatment and positive belief in success all contribute to a successful outcome. Lack of belief in treatment. Lack of commitment and self doubt seldom produces the result we want.
You cannot be made to do anything against your basic belief system while in trance.
You may end a trance at any time by opening your eyes.
You cannot get stuck in trance.
You may fall asleep while in trance, but when you awaken, you will be out of trance.
Everyone who wants to be hypnotised can be hypnotised, although the depth of trance will vary with each person.

Hypnotherapy can help you in many ways. It can be used to help with a large range
of problems and also to boost positive qualities such as concentration, motivation,
determination, optimism and self-
Specifically hypnotherapy is often effectively used for helping people to quit smoking, to deal with weight control issues, various types of anxiety, to overcome phobias , to increase their motivation, resolving skin issues like Psoriasis and Eczema, to aid relaxation and confidence, both generally and also in specific situations (public speaking, exams, driving tests etc.) It is also effective in improving performance and removing mental blocks in work and sporting activities.
