What is Hypnosis?
The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe. It is neither asleep nor awake but is characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation and an altered state of consciousness. In this pleasant and relaxed state, individuals allow the desired, beneficial suggestions to be given directly to the unconscious mind. Thus, hypnosis is a natural and effective way of making contact with the inner (unconscious) self, a source of many of our problems as well as a tremendous reservoir of unrecognised potential strengths and knowledge, ie. the forgotten assets. Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis for the treatment and relief of a variety of somatic and psychological symptoms. In Hypnotherapy the patient and hypnotherapist are working together towards a common goal. This therapeutic partnership is the key to a successful outcome. Nobody can ever be hypnotised against their will and, even when hypnotised, people can still reject any of the suggestions given if they are not appropriate. |
