What is hypnosis?

 

There has been much speculation over what Hypnosis actually is and opinions tend to differ from person to person. There are however some things we can say with absolute certainty about the hypnotic state. They are, firstly that hypnosis is really just a state of deep relaxation and is perfectly natural and safe. You will already have experienced it in some form or another, for example when you arrive at a destination and have no recollection of the journey, or the feeling you get when you are half a wake and half asleep could be described as a hypnotic state. The truth is hypnosis is hard to define exactly as it is different for everybody, some people accept the state more readily and deeply than others, and people describe differing sensations, but all tend to agree that it is beneficial to them and feels, nice, relaxing and safe.

Just to dispel the myth, there is no mind control or taking over of a persons will power etc. Anyone under hypnosis is always aware and in control of themselves and can “wake up” at any time they choose to. A hypnotherapist cannot make a client do anything that they do not want to do.

We can however use hypnosis to help you achieve the things you DO want to do, whether it is overcoming a fear or phobia, improving your performance in any sport or activity, helping with exam nerves etc, hypnosis can be a valuable aid to all these areas and lots more.
