What is hypnosis? Magic it is not; it is no more than a state of deep relaxation. We have all slipped into it at one time or another without realizing it. You get behind the wheel of your car, put your foot to the gas pedal and then find yourself at your destination with the last thing you remember was pulling out of the driveway. How did that happen, you ask? Well, your conscious mind was focused somewhere else. You started thinking of something which was more important to you while your subconscious mind took over the actual mechanics of driving the car. Had a car suddenly braked in front of you, instantaneously you would have come to full consciousness and responded appropriately.. This is an example of what is called an "altered state of consciousness" and this is what it is like when you are in the deep state of relaxation called a hypnotic trance or hypnosis. No magic here, as it is you who puts yourself into an altered state. In fact, it can be argued that all hypnosis is, in reality, self-hypnosis. Just as you were always in control in that example, so you will be when you are experiencing guided hypnosis with a clinical therapist. What you can expect? Generally, your first meeting will last around two hours. A brief personal history will be taken and you can discuss what your expectations and goals are and a plan will be formulated to reach them. The program will be tailored to your personal needs. See website for more information. Call today
