What is Clinical Hypnotherapy? A Science-Backed Approach to Wellness
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses the power of hypnosis to achieve therapeutic goals. Think of it as a guided meditation with a specific purpose: to create positive change at the root level of your mind.
 

Dispelling the Myths: What Hypnotherapy IS NOT

You are always in control. You cannot be made to do anything against your will or morals.

You are not unconscious. You are aware of your surroundings and will remember the experience.

It is not a magic trick. It is a collaborative process that requires your willingness and participation.

How It Works: The Conscious vs. The Subconscious

Your Conscious Mind: This is your logical, analytical, and critical mind. It's the voice of "willpower" that often struggles to change deep-seated habits.

Your Subconscious Mind: This is the vast repository of your memories, habits, beliefs, emotions, and instincts. It runs your automatic processes (like breathing) and is highly receptive to suggestion and imagery.

When you're in a relaxed, hypnotic state, the critical faculty of your conscious mind is gently bypassed. This allows therapeutic suggestions and new perspectives to be absorbed directly by the subconscious, where real, lasting change begins.
 

What Does a Hypnotherapy Session Feel Like?

You'll be guided into a state of profound physical and mental relaxation. You might feel heavy and still, or light and floaty. Your awareness will turn inward, and you'll be highly focused on the therapist's voice while still hearing ambient sounds in the room. Most people describe it as an incredibly pleasant and relaxing experience.
