Hypnotherapy is a treatment that uses deep relaxation and guided visualisation to help you get in touch with your subconscious. If you’re not familiar with hypnosis, you probably know it from the movies: Hypnotist: “You are getting very sleepy…so sleepy…” Subject: “Are we done yet?” That’s not what happens in real life—but how does it work? How can a therapist make you feel more relaxed and focused just by talking? Here are some of the answers.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a way of communicating with the subconscious mind. It’s a process of learning to focus on one thing and block out distractions, or conversely, focusing on your environment and blocking yourself from distractions.
Hypnotherapy is an area of hypnosis that uses techniques such as suggestion, relaxation, visualization and self-talk to help individuals with specific issues or problems such as smoking cessation, weight loss and phobias.
The goal is for you to experience a state between wakefulness and sleep where the conscious mind becomes relaxed yet alert enough for the EFT practitioner Melbourne to make suggestions to your subconscious mind that will make changes in your thoughts, behaviours and feelings (the automatic part of our brains). The more relaxed we become through hypnosis techniques like guided imagery or deep breathing exercises (and often combined with music), our body produces endorphins which are responsible for creating positive emotions like happiness!
Hypnosis Can Treat Many Issues
Hypnosis can be used to treat many issues. Some people use hypnosis to quit smoking, and others use it to lose weight. For example, a person who is addicted to sugar may be able to change her habits using hypnotherapy. There are also many people who have used hypnosis for other types of addictions as well.
It’s also been shown that hypnotherapy can help people overcome phobias, anxiety and stress-related disorders such as insomnia and panic attacks.
How Does Hypnotherapy Work?
Hypnosis is a state of heightened suggestibility, which means that your mind and body have been in a relaxed state. The idea here is that you’re very open to suggestions from others.
In hypnosis, your mind and body are in a focused state. This means that you will be able to concentrate better on the things being said by the hypnotist or therapist. You won’t be distracted by other things around you or thoughts in your head because everything will be focused on what they have to say during the session.
It also means that your body will feel more relaxed than usual because there aren’t as many distractions around it either! Hypnotized people often report feeling as though they are floating on clouds or sinking into the water when these sensations happen during their sessions at my office near Tampa International Airport (TPA).
