​What is hypnotherapy? Well, hypnosis is from the Greek word hypnos, which means sleep. Put together with the word therapy, it means a therapeutic form of hypnosis that can be used when a person is in a trance, or a relaxed state. Hypnosis is used to reach the subconscious mind because it allows individuals to access deeper layers of their feelings that are typically hidden from conscious awareness. In this relaxed state, the mind becomes more open to suggestions, making it to address unwanted behaviors, beliefs, or emotional issues. By working with the subconscious, hypnosis can help reprogram negative thought patterns, reduce anxiety, and promote personal growth. This approach changes your mind by tapping into the underlying causes of various challenges. *​Hypnotherapy is a safe and non-invasive technique to make suggestions for positive change on a subconscious level, using the awesome power of the mind. *Hypnotherapy may not be appropriate for a person who has psychotic symptoms or abusing alcohol or drugs. *It is not mind control. Hypnosis can only be done if the person is willing to be hypnotized and you are in control.
