A HEIGHTENED STATE OF AWARENESS
Hypnosis
About Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy, is an induced trance-like state in which one has heightened focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion.
Hypnosis is usually, at least initially, achieved with the help of a therapist often using verbal repetition and mental imagery.
When in a hypnotic state, one usually feels calm and relaxed and more receptive to positive and beneficial suggestions. Totally aware of everything that is going on around you whilst in trance you never lose control over your behaviour and could never be made to do anything that violates your own moral code.
Hypnosis is a very powerful yet gentle tool that is able to assist people with many issues and is often employed to support people to better cope with deep inner issues and conflicts that might feel impossible to overcome.
