Hypnotherapy: A Closer Look
Hypnosis therapy is all about helping you find a new sense of awareness about yourself, the way your mind operates, and why. This is accomplished through inducing a heightened sense of awareness through guided imagery.
Even though historically hypnosis was used primarily as a source of pain relief, it was quickly discovered that when a person is in a hypnotic state, they are more focused, relaxed, and perceptive to beneficial encouragement or ideas through cognitive behavioral therapy.
By using hypnotic language along with invoking specific thoughts, a hypnotist who is skilled with cognitive function introduces your mind to a new place, where thoughts are clear and concentration is at its peak.
Some of our therapists offer this form of relaxation hypnosis those who desire a holistic approach to wellness.
Some of the thing’s hypnotherapy can be used for:
- Anxiety
- Fears
- Phobias
- Doubts
- Traumas
- Life transitions
- Worries
While you are experiencing a hypnotic state in a session, you can feel a sense of relaxation and calm, which allows you to acutely focus your thoughts and emotions. Your brain will be alive with activity in regions that may otherwise be inactive, and this hyper sense of focused concentration can open up new thought connections and cognitive functions.
This state of mind, emptied of usual stress and distractions, allows you to gain a better perspective on your life and thought processes.
In this way. relaxation hypnosis can be used as an adjunct to other forms of therapy, thereby reinforcing concepts learned during your session. Keep in mind that hypnosis is not therapy in and of itself. Instead, it is a tool that is used as part of therapy and is part of a comprehensive approach.
