What is Hypnotherapy?
Although the term hypnotherapy derives from the Greek word "hypnos" meaning sleep, the state attained in hypnotherapy differs considerably from the sleep state, in that the client remains conscious and is entirely aware of the whole process.
Hypnosis has been described as "a state of mind enhanced by (although not exclusively) mental and physical relaxation, in which our subconscious is able to communicate with our conscious mind".
This state of mind can be brought about by self hypnosis or aided by a professionally trained clinical hypnotist who uses the hypnotic state to encourage beneficial changes. This is the process known as clinical hypnotherapy.
Why Clinical Hypnosis?
We can use hypnotherapy to access our inner resources to facilitate beneficial change. Clinical hypnosis may help to unlock a person's capacity to heal themselves. Along with other counselling techniques, it may also be used in aiding the resolution of some relationship problems.
When is Clinical Hypnotherapy not used?
There are certain conditions where hypnotherapy is not a suitable treatment. A clinical hypnotherapist does not work with clients suffering from : severe depressive illness, epilepsy, psychosis (e.g. schizophrenia), some breathing problems.
Note: Anyone seeking clincal hypnotherapy for physical pain relief should first seek medical advice for that condition.
