Following the broadcast of HypnoSurgery Live on More4 hypnosis has gained a much more positive reputation as a viable, scientifically accepted treatment.
And it is about time!
So what's Hypnosis? Is it the Funky Chicken, the Tina Turner impression or eating a juicy lemon thinking that is a nice ripe peach? In around the 1780's a European medic called Mesmer began a fascinating journey that would change the world of therapy and entertainment forever! This outwardly appearing eccentrically wonderful flamboyant character took his therapy to the stage and created Stage Hypnosis.
Over two hundred years after this momentous event the world is still saying WOW in amazement to this gracious art. Hypnotherapy has come so far and I believe that we are now in an age where we now know so much of how the mind works and what makes us tick, that it is possible to successfully change our lives into the dreams that we wish them to be! During my time as a Hypnotherapist I have enjoyed tremendous results from my clients, I put this down to my main work ethic, which is - When I work with someone my only aim is to help them achieve the kind of life that they desire through empowerment! Even though Hypnotherapy is a serious mainstream therapy, I believe that it should not forget its roots and separate itself from Stage Hypnosis, but see it as a vehicle to promote the wonderful benefits of Hypnosis in Therapy.
Hypnosis can be briefly described as an altered state of consciousness, just like daydreaming. While in Hypnosis, changes can be made in the part of the mind that you don't consciously use, this is called the sub or unconscious mind. Also while in Hypnosis you will feel relaxed and comfortable and will be able to hear the Hypnotists voice guide you to make the changes that you want to achieve. Hypnosis is a perfectly natural state, as mentioned it's a bit like being in a daydream. You will know exactly what is going on around you, but also be so completely relaxed. Hypnotherapy is also about empowering the individual to make changes in their life. So by coming just for Smoking, Weight Loss or Stress, you will leave your session being able to use Self-Hypnosis, to change and make the life you've always dreamt of.
So just imagine what you could achieve today if you used Hypnotherapy!
