How Hypnotherapy Works

Under hypnosis, the conscious, rational part of the brain is temporarily bypassed. This makes the subconscious part, which influences mental and physical functions, receptive to therapy. During the trance state there is heightened concentration for the specific purpose of maximising potential and changing limiting beliefs/behaviours.

Although hypnosis may be light, medium or deep, a medium trance is usually used, during which metabolism, breathing and heartbeat slow and the brain produces alpha waves. Normal states of consciousness, i.e. sleeping, dreaming and being awake, can be detected in the wave patterns produced by the brain. Hypnosis differs from all three. The brain waves associated with quiet, receptive states are called alpha waves. In alpha states, the body gradually relaxes. Meditation, daydreaming, being absorbed in a book, music or television are good examples of alpha state. Nobody can ever be hypnotised against their will. Even when hypnotised, people remain in complete control of any suggestions given. The objective of clinical hypnosis is to take back control that has been lost and which has therefore resulted in the symptom or problem.

Hypnosis Treatment Tailored to Your Needs

The length of treatments depends on the problem or symptom and the individual’s circumstances. A problem like nail biting can be successfully treated in one session. Other problems such as panic attacks can take up to 5 or 6 sessions. This will be discussed with you and agreed before commencing any treatment.
