The term "hypnosis" comes from the Greek word "hypnos" which means sleep, however the best modern definition is that hypnosis is a state of mind, enhanced by mental and physical relaxation in which our sub-conscious is able to communicate with our conscious mind.

What is Hypnosis?

The actual experience of being hypnotised a little like day dreaming. It is a state of relaxed focus, sometimes referred to as a trance state. Each of us enters this state at least twice every day when falling asleep and waking up. It is the relaxed, "half a sleep" feeling we experience.

All hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, an altered state of consciousness into which individuals allow themselves to enter, so that for therapeutic purposes, beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind, also referred to as the subconscious mind, is the part of our brain which works without our conscious effort. Hypnosis is a natural and effective way of making contact with our unconscious mind, which is both a reservoir of unrecognised potential and knowledge as well as being the unwitting source of many of our problems.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy uses the state of hypnosis to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems. When carried out by a professionally trained and qualified hypnotherapist, the benefits of hypnotherapy can be long lasting and often permanent. It is a natural and safe therapy without any side effects.

Can Hypnosis be used to control me?

Nobody can be hypnotised against their will. People sometimes worry that they will "lose control" in hypnosis, however general consensus indicates that regardless of how deeply people may go into hypnosis and however passive they appear to be, they remain in full control of the situation. They can talk if they want to and can stand up and leave the room at any time if they wished. A hypnotised person cannot be made to do anything against their usual ethical or moral judgement or religious belief. It is likely that many people's miconception of hypnotherapy stems from stage hypnosis where people are apparently made to perform strange and silly acts. Participation in such stage hypnotherapy is completely voluntary and for entertainment and is planned prior to the show.
