Hypnotherapy, in essence, can help you to reframe your thoughts, focuses, and goals – whether that’s to help you picture a more positive future or heal the wounds of the past, it can help you be confident in yourself and your ability to feel happy and fulfilled. So, whether you would like to change what you do or don’t do (behavioural hypnotherapy), alter how you think about something (cognitive hypnotherapy), gain insight into why you do something and work with the subconscious (analytical hypnotherapy) or even explore the influences of your past (regression hypnotherapy). Finding out what you want to achieve, the positive changes that you want to make and formulating a plan to help you get where you want to be.

The range of uses for hypnotherapy is broad and varied, touching on physical, psychological and mental health conditions. Hypnosis can provide more clarity to questions about your childhood, relationships, career, chronic pains and illnesses, dreams, pets and your next move for your future. You can learn about the afterlife, other dimensions and incarnations as well as how to bring about optimal health and wellness in your life. There is also regression that guides you to return to an earlier time in your life or another lifetime. Seeing your past experiences illuminates understanding regarding your present life issues and challenges.

Hypnosis is a trance-like mental state in which people experience increased attention, concentration, and suggestibility. While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and vivid imagery. Hypnotherapy uses proven methods from neuroscience—only it uses those tools when the client is deep in a hypnotic state. During hypnosis, our brain waves go deep into theta brain wave frequency. This is the frequency that hovers just above the sleep and awake state. By working in theta brainwave state, a hypnotherapist can help you bypass the parts of your mind that are resistant to change. In hypnosis, your mind accepts the changes and commits them to memory. In this state, we can induce healing, access to higher consciousness, stimulate muscle relaxation and pain relief, heighten creativity and problem solving skills, and make the mind more permeable and receptive to change through different types of therapies and methods through hypnotherapy.

It depends on the individual. Some people are more aware of changes felt in their bodies than others are. It also depends on how deep into the hypnotic state the person allows himself or herself to drift. You may experience sensations of feeling very light or floating, very heavy, tingling sensations, dry mouth, or just an awareness of being pleasantly relaxed.
