Often when people use the word ‘hypnosis’, our mind runs to a circus stage where performers get people in the audience to do funny things by taking them into a trance. While this is a form of hypnosis, it is not hypnotherapy. When you really get to learn the intricacies of hypnotherapy, you can realize why it’s so wildly effective.

A majority of the problems in our lives arise due to deep emotional wounds embedded in our subconscious that have not been tended to. Up to the age of about 9 years old, Our subconscious beliefs and habits are generally formed — well before we have developed our rational thinking.

This is where hypnotherapy comes in. We cannot access these deep rooted areas in the subconscious mind simply by working with the conscious mind.

Hypnotherapy is a psychotherapy modality that uses relaxation, extreme concentration, and intense attention to achieve a heightened state of consciousness or mindfulness. In other words, it places the individual into a “trance” or altered state of awareness. When we get into this heightened state of consciousness; we are more receptive to change and shift at a much more deep rooted level than just the conscious mind.
