There's a gulf of difference between the clinical hypnotherapy that I offer and the common image of the moustachioed, pocket-watch swinging hypnotist that you might imagine. Even though the word Hypnosis is derived from the Greek word "Hypnos" which means "sleep", sleep itself has nothing to do with the hypnotic state and hypnotherapy. A person who is hypnotised is not asleep or unconscious. A Cli
nical Hypnotherapist is not able to control another person's mind. No-one can be made to do anything which goes against their will and own moral or ethical standards. When a person is hypnotised they are in a very, very relaxed state. They are still aware of their surroundings and the sense of hearing is often sharper than usual. A person can bring themselves out of the hypnotic state at any time if the need arises. Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years before even the birth of Christ, giving us and our ancestor's insights into the human mind that we have only recently begun to understand. In recent decades hypnotherapy has emerged as a serious, recognised scientific method of helping treat an incredible variety and specificity of symptoms and ailments, including, though by no means limited to:
Smoking
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Anxiety
Stress
Bereavement
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Phobias
Weight Control
Confidence
And much, much, more..
