HYPNOSIS - THE FACTS
Nothing to Fear And Everything to Gain

The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today, hypnosis is used in many fields, including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement and education.

We would like to answer some questions and dispel myths.

How does hypnosis work? Our mind works on two levels - the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind.

The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is possible to change "fixed" habits with hypnosis.

Can I be hypnotised? Yes you can! Have you have ever jumped out of your skin while watching a thriller? Or cried at a poignant moment of a movie? You have experienced hypnosis. There are many examples of hypnosis in every day life. When you're in that half awake state when waking up or falling asleep.

Anyone who wants to be hypnotised can go to a deep level of trance and achieve successful results using hypnosis. However, if a patient is unwilling to follow hypnotic suggestions we can't hypnotise them because we can't make them do anything that they do not want to do.

Prior to your first session, we will send you a CD which contains a self-hypnosis track. We suggest our clients listen to the CD before the session, so they understand what it feels like to be hypnotised. The more time you listen, the easier you will go into a trance.

Will I know if I am hypnotised? Most people can't tell the difference between the hypnotised and the waking states. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviours.

Is Hypnosis "Mind Control"? No! You can't be made to do anything against your will! Hypnosis is not sleep. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any stage. A common perception about hypnosis comes from stage acts. The volunteers choose to go on stage and are willing to go along with the entertainer's suggestions and act foolishly for the purpose of the show. On the other hand, hypnotherapy is dedicated to the well-being of the patient. We are regulated by a strict code of conduct.

Hypnotherapy is completely safe.

The more times you are hypnotised, the deeper you go, the more successful the session will be. This is why we send out a C.D. for people to practice with before they come.
