What Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy uses deep physical and mental relaxation, which allows direct communication with the subconscious. Hypnosis is gentle, fast and very effective. Relaxation, improved stress management and increased self-awareness are automatic by-products of the process. Hypnosis is a relatively rapid way to retrain life-long emotions, attitudes and habit patterns. It is safe and gentle and you are always aware, always in charge.

The Subconscious

Hypnotic suggestions bypass the conscious mind, and zero in on the subconscious. When given a new suggestion that is within the bounds of a person’s belief system and moral orientation, the subconscious mind accepts the suggestion literally as new reality.
