Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic application of hypnosis, which is a perfectly natural state of deep relaxation. Its benefits are wide ranging and can help with release of unwanted patterns of behaviour and/or emotional response, which are not possible to achieve when in an everyday waking state

Repressed memories caused by past traumas can cause numerous problems and anxiety states, and hypnotherapy is invaluable in this area. Some of the conditions and states of being which can be helped by hypnotherapy are, addictions, lack of confidence, compulsive behaviour, stress, anxiety and phobias. There are many conditions which can be treated with hypnotherapy, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you feel that hypnotherapy may be helpful to you but are uncertain about any aspect of this type of treatment.

I have outlined below some information about hypnosis which may be helpful. However, as mentioned above, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone or e-mail me if you have any questions that remain unanswered on this site.

Hypnosis

Dr M.D. Preston:

“Hypnosis is not dangerous…. No one has ever died from being hypnotised. The same cannot be said about any other form of medicine. There is no modality less dangerous than hypnotism. No therapy is safer.”

It is important to begin by understanding that hypnosis is a perfectly natural process, and a person in hypnosis cannot be made to do anything contrary to his or her moral or ethical codes.When our only understanding of hypnosis comes from ‘stage hypnosis’ we perhaps need to look more closely at how hypnosis as a therapy works.

One of the most common and widely held misconceptions about hypnosis is that when in a hypnotic state we lose consciousness. Sadly many people who could benefit from Hypnotherapy fail to access those benefits because of their fears around this point, and their concerns that they are handing over control of their mind to another person which is not the case.

At even the deepest level of hypnosis the person experiencing that hypnosis is completely aware of their circumstances and surroundings at all times. Furthermore the deeper the level of hypnosis the greater their awareness will be and the better will be the therapeutic benefit.

One of the greatest difficulties for many Hypnotists is to convince their client that he or she has in fact achieved a hypnotic state. The reason for this is that they realise they have been completely aware of all that has been said and done during the session, and at no time have they been unaware of what is taking place. Over ninety percent of people who experience hypnosis for the first time will deny that they have been hypnotised, stating that they were completely aware of all that was said and done during a session. This of course helps to describe how natural a process hypnosis is.

Please also see the Past Life Therapy page on this site if you are interested in using hypnotherapy to explore your past lives,or alternatively if you feel that the root of a problem you are suffering from may lie further back into the past to a time before your present life.
