Hypnosis – What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is like meditation, your eyes are closed and you feel relaxed. It is a heightened state of awareness during which the conscious mind is suppressed and the subconscious or unconscious mind is more open to positive suggestion. The hypnotherapist is then able to suggest ideas or concepts and positive lifestyle adaptations which then become more firmly planted in the unconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is a safe and natural process that aims to help with psychological issues and correct negative behaviours such as:

Phobias
Smoking
Stress and anxiety
Exam/driving test nerves
Lack of confidence

It is also very helpful for weight loss and gaining control of your eating habits. Hypnotherapy is used in hospitals for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) as well as being used for natural childbirth and also as a support to IVF fertility treatment. It can even help you to perform better on the golf course as every PGA player will say that golf is 90% mental and many other sporting professionals use visualisation to improve their game.

NLP

This stands for neuro-linguistic-programming. It is based on the study of human excellence, like having an instruction manual for how the mind works. NLP can also help you to fund your goals and achieve them. Hypnosis and NLP are also effective for:

Confidence building
Insomnia
Blushing
Nail biting
Hair Pulling
Pain control
Skin problems
Weight Loss

With these techniques it is possible to bring about change rapidly because NLP communicates with the mind the right way for it to understand.
