What Is Hypnotherapy?

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, can be achieved.

— Napoleon Hill

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation that enables you to access your subconscious mind - home to your inner thoughts, fears and deepest emotions. 

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state. We are in a hypnotic state many times throughout the day. When we are driving home but don’t remember the drive there, when we are solely focused on one task at the exclusion of all else, when we are in a flow state, and during those final moments before we drift off to sleep.

During this relaxed state we are able to quiet the conscious, critical thinking mind and access the powerful subconscious mind. It is a very pleasant and peaceful state, very similar to the calming feelings experienced during meditation.

WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?

Hypnotherapy is the process of using hypnosis to achieve a beneficial result, such as a pain relief, removal of negative behaviour patterns or freedom from phobias.

Hypnotherapy combines hypnosis with professional Coaching tools to help clients reach any goal they can conceive.

Hypnosis in its essence is accepting a suggestion.   

You cannot accept any suggestions that you do not agree with and wish to accept.  You cannot be hypnotized unless you wish to be.  All hypnosis, therefor, is self-hypnosis. 

I recently completed a series of hypnotherapy sessions with Sarah to work on (mostly) focus and balance in my life. I went in with an open mind and a positive outlook, but I was still surprised at how effective each session was. The tools and strategies I learned from both the hypno experience and discussions with Sarah will be valuable for years to come. On top of that, each hypno session is like a power nap that makes you feel rejuvenated and fresh for the rest of the day! Highly recommend opening yourself up to this experience.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN A HYPNOTHERAPY SESSION?

The majority of session time is focused on future-based performance and positivity coaching and counselling, to help you get very clear with that it is that you want more of in your life.

During the hypnosis portion of a session, the Therapist will facilitate hypnosis and lead you through a specific and therapeutic, guided visualization focused on achieving your desired outcome. You can simply sit back and enjoy a relaxing guided visualization, allowing your subconscious mind to accept your own suggestions so you may achieve your desired goals and outcomes.

During the session, you will receive many powerful tools and exercises to use every day, as a way to accelerate the process and re-enforce the changes you are creating.

Hypnotherapy, in contrast to many traditional forms of Therapy, is future based and the time is spent focused on the future and the positive outcomes that you desire. Clinical Hypnotherapy is ‘solution-based therapy’.

Hypnotherapy is very positive and powerful and lasting changes can happen very quickly!
