Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis by a trained hypnotherapist to help a
person to make positive changes in their life. The use of hypnosis allows the
hypnotherapist to bypass the critical areas of the conscious mind and access the
subconscious mind directly. All our learned behaviours and habits, either good or
bad, reside in the subconscious mind. Hypnosis speeds up the process of positive
change since the hypnotherapist is working directly with the subconscious mind.
Old unwanted negative associations and patterns of behaviour can easily be
removed and replaced with positive beneficial ones.
What is the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind in which the subconscious mind opens up,
becoming very suggestible to new ideas. Hypnotherapy is the process of using
hypnosis by the trained hypnotherapist to help a person make positive,
desired lifestyle changes.

Does hypnotherapy work for everybody?
This depends entirely upon you. If you are serious and really want to work on
the issue and improve your life, then hypnotherapy will work wonders. If you
really don't want to give up that bad habit or change, and just are not being
entirely honest with yourself, then hypnotherapy will not be as effective for you.
You will just end up sabotaging yourself and remain where you are at. The
choice is yours - change and improve your life for the better or don't. It's up
to you!
What are the areas in which hypnotherapy is helpful?
Hypnotherapy can help you to make changes in practically any area of your
life. Any bad habits or unwanted behaviors can easily be changed into more
positive ones. Fears and phobias can be eliminated.
You can easily stop smoking,
correct sexual weaknesses,
lose unwanted weight, improve your study habits or become more successful. It
is entirely up to you what issue you want to work on.
Below is a list of just some of the ways hypnotherapy can help you.
