How does hypnosis work?

Since the subconscious mind is our driving force, we always do what our subconscious believes. We can reprogram old information into the subconscious by substituting new constructive suggestions for existing negative ones, and then with daily reinforcement (listening to your recorded sessions at home), new habits and thinking patterns are established. This is why clients often state that their new changes and responses seem “easy and effortless” since using hypnosis.

While using hypnosis the brain releases a chemical called Endorphin from the Hippocampus of the Brain, which are equalivent to 200mg. of morphine, as well as numerous other neurochemicals that allow your body to calm your central nervous system, enhance your mood and alleviate even decrease pain.

While experiencing hypnosis your body will feel more peaceful and relaxed than ever before. Because of this deeply relaxed state, oxygenation is increased to all the muscles of the body allowing them to relax and release long held tension and pain.

What will I experience?

People respond to hypnosis in different ways. Some describe their experience as an altered state of consciousness, while others describe hypnosis as a normal state of focused attention, in which they feel very calm and relaxed. Once a state of hypnosis is achieved, a therapist will offer suggestions specifically directed to your goals. For example, it is possible to suggest to a person with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, that they relax the jaw muscles and then direction is given for the proper position of the jaw to stop the clinching and grinding process. (A person coming in for medical hypnotherapy must be under the direction of a medical provider.) A person who wishes to achieve weight loss might receive a suggestion to eat smaller portions and balanced meals. Or, they could learn to have no desire to snack and make healthy food choices. Your unconscious mind can then transmit these thoughts and images throughout your mind and body, setting the process for change and healing in motion.

Will I lose control?

Over the years, there have been many misconceptions about hypnotherapy. Parlor tricks and stage shows aside, clinical hypnotherapists cannot make you quack like a duck or sing like Barbra Streisand.

While a hypnotherapist serves as a teacher or a guide, the only person who can hypnotize you is YOU. Therefore, all hypnosis is truly self-hypnosis.

How many sessions will I need?
