Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy
In this relaxed and receptive state, the hypnotherapist makes suggestions aimed at
helping you achieve your goals. These goals might include reducing anxiety,
quitting smoking, managing pain, or improving sleep. Hypnotherapy is often used
alongside other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
How it works: Hypnotherapy works by focusing your mind and increasing your
receptiveness to suggestions. It allows you to access your subconscious mind, which
is believed to play a role in habits and behaviors.
Conditions it can help with: Hypnotherapy has been shown to be effective in
treating a variety of conditions, including anxiety, phobias, depression, pain, and
insomnia. It can also be helpful for habit control, such as smoking cessation and
weight loss.
What to expect during a session: A typical hypnotherapy session will involve
talking to the hypnotherapist about your goals and then being guided into a
hypnotic state. The hypnotherapist will then make suggestions tailored to your
needs. After the session, you will be gently brought out of the hypnotic state.
