What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?
A clinical hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to facilitate a state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation in their client.
When you are in hypnosis, your conscious mind – the busy, analytical part of the mind – takes a rest.
Hypnosis allows you to tap into the storehouse of information that lies in the subconscious (sometimes referred to as the unconscious) mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits, or the effects of traumatic incidents that are having a negative impact on you, either mentally or physically.
A Clinical Hypnotherapist is really a specialist in hypnosis, using the healing state of hypnosis to work with problems or conditions that the client wishes to change.
It is perfectly normal to hear external noises and maintain rapport with the hypnotist and remember everything that goes on.
In other words, on awakening, you should feel no different than you did before being hypnotized, but the effects will be there.
Hypnosis is a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Remember, the hypnotherapist needs your cooperation, as all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
All the hypnotherapist does is guide you into it using hypnotic language.
