Hypnotherapy is a relaxed altered state of consciousness, much like meditation or daydreaming, in which a specific targeted goal is visualized and affirmed in your subconscious. Hypnotherapy can help an individual to change unwanted habits or beliefs that negatively impacts their daily life

The conscious mind, the mind you are conscious of, is the critical/analytical part of your mind and only constitutes 15-20% of who you are. The subconscious mind is the part that directs your conduct through the habits and emotional desires acquired from influences of your environment, sometimes even before you were old enough to reject harmful ideas and concepts. It is where all your memories and skills are stored.

The degree of effectiveness of a hypnotherapy session is dependent upon your openness to the process, the degree to which you have the desire for change, and your ability to concentrate. The number of sessions you will need for complete change varies dependent upon the issue and the effort you put in daily to maintain the new behavior.

Each session begins with an interview where you and the hypnotherapist work together to discuss the desired behavior you are wanting to change. This is followed by a process by which the hypnotherapist works with your subconscious to shift the belief causing the behavior. Part of the process will include techniques for self-hypnosis so that you can support yourself during the changes you desire to make. A typical session can last 60-90 minutes.

There has never been a documented case of harm coming to anyone from the therapeutic use of hypnotherapy. There has never been a documented case of someone unable to come out of a hypnotic state. You are in control throughout the entirety of the session. If you do not wish to accept a suggestion made during your session, you can choose not to!
