Hypnotherapy
Healing by hypnosis or trance - otherwise known as an altered state of awareness - is among the oldest phenomena known to us.
Hypnosis is a state of mind and is enhanced by mental and physical relaxation in which our subconscious is able to communicate with our conscious mind.
In the clinical setting hypnosis provides a very powerful tool to access subconscious patterns of thought and behaviour and to resolve issues that lie beyond the capabilities of conscious resolve. The profound stae of relaxation and solution- focused awareness provides a context for new insights and understandings to be formed with the assistance of the therapist.
With the patient in a relaxed state or trance, a hypnotherapist has wide range of techniques at their disposal such as metaphor, direct suggestion, story telling and symbolism to achieve a beneficial change in the patient.
