Although hypnotherapy has come along way in terms of being an accepted and successful therapy, it still poses many doubts, and misconceptions.

Let’s see how it really works.

A safe environment can be expected on the first visit to allow the feeling of safety and relaxation It provides you the opportunity to ask questions and express your feelings and concerns.

If clients have never been allowed to talk or be listened to this may be the first time they get the chance to do so. It can be therapeutic all by itself.

The hypnotherapist will talk about hypnosis, and what you should expect during the session Everything you need to be able to relax while reaching you goal is provided.

The first session on average takes about two hours in which the therapist first asks about the problem you are suffering from, explains the techniques used in your therapy, and finally a your first session of hypnosis. Follow up sessions will often be at least one hour and a half.

Hypnosis is a therapeutic condition which is called Hypnotherapy, used to allow the brain’s natual senses to relax the brain completely. A strong learning device that is often called a trance is deep relaxation. When you are hypnotised you are more aware of new concepts, ideas and learning, allowing you to become optimistic about making changes to accomplish your goal.

Hypnosis is similar to day-dreaming, with feelings of deep relaxation and concentration, you sit in a comfortable chair with a pillow behind your neck and a small rug over you, you close your eyes, and the therapist starts talking, hypnosis is brought about by suggestion, beginning with the suggestion of relaxation. In this very powerful but gentle and relaxing process, your breathing slows down, becomes more relaxed, and allows your mind to focus on suggestions made by the therapist.

These suggestions and visualisations help you to make positive changes within yourself, so that you can overcome irrational fears, phobias, negative thoughts and work on deep emotions.
When the therapist brings you out of your hypnosis, you will be left feeling wonderfully alert, relaxed and refreshed. If you want to, you can talk about it afterwards.
