"Hypnosis is to consciousness what a telephoto lens is to a camera."
- David Spiegel, Professor & Associate Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford University
Is Hypnotherapy like in the movies?
Unlike in the movies you are always conscious and aware of your surroundings yet not distracted by outside noises.
Hypnotherapy is used and recognized by many medical and health professionals, with extensive scientific research supporting its benefits in treating a wide range of conditions such as pain, depression, anxiety and phobias. It has been used for centuries for pain control such as during the American Civil War when army surgeons hypnotized injured soldiers before amputations.
Hypnotherapy is experiencing a hypnotic trance where the brain is mostly in either alpha or theta brain wave state. During this time there is a deep sense of relaxation both physically and mentally.
Alpha waves are present such as during a daydream, and theta waves are present such as during light sleep and deep meditation. These are the optimal brain wave states allowing the mind to reach its heightened state of visualization, mind-programming, and creative learning.
How Hypnotherapy
is helpful to you?
The mind entails a conscious level which accounts for only 10% of its resources while the subconscious level accounts for 90%. With the permission of your own conscious mind, hypnotherapy allows you access to the subconscious mind and thus the learning of its behaviour-pattern-making system.
We will explore how the origin of your self-presenting issue was formed, address your thought processes and have new learnings through various modalities such as inner child healing, parts therapy, past life regression and guided imagery to desired change. All achieved without the constant critical thinking of the conscious mind. While some people worry about losing control, hypnosis strengthens the connection between the mind and the body to empower people to exert more control over their own perceptions.
