What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a complementary medicine that, under the guidance of a trained practitioner can help the individual to understand and manage a range of physical, emotional and psychological behaviour. It is at its most effective when the participant is committed and determined to make beneficial changes.
During hypnosis, the therapist will work with the individual to induce a trance-like state (which feels rather like daydreaming) and allows the conscious mind to rest, and the subconscious mind to focus. Whilst in this altered state, stored negative beliefs can be changed and replaced, with positive beneficial beliefs. This can help to affect desired change.
