What is Hypnosis?

The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe. Neither asleep nor awake, all Hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, an altered state of consciousness into which individuals allow themselves to enter so that desired, beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the unconscious mind.

Thus, Hypnosis is a natural, effective way of making contact with the inner (unconscious) self, a source of many of our problems as wel as a tremendous reservoir of unrecognised potential strength of knowledge - the forgotten assets.

Nobody can ever be hypnotised against their will and, even when hypnotised, people can still reject any of the suggestions given if they are not appropriate. Care should be taken not to be misguided by television Hypnosis acts which sensationalise the science.

Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe and there are no harmful side effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.

The clinical applications of Hypnosis

Modern Hypnotherapists use Hypnosis not only for medical purposes but also as an aid for the resolution of many problems of psychological origins. It is estimated that approximately 85% fo people of all ages will readily respond to clinical Hypnotherapy.
It is often successful when other more conventional methods of treatment have failed.

Some of the conditions for which Hypnotherapy is effective are:

  • Breaking unwanted habits (eg. smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, nocturnal enuresis, nail biting)
  • Effective weight control, study, sporting performance, improving concentration and memory, creativity, self-confidence
  • Stress and anger management
  • Skin problems and nervous rashes, female problems such as period pains
  • Pain control for minor surgery, dentistry, arthritic pain
  • Phobias, anxieties, compulsions, inhibitions, guilt feelings, jealousy, emotional issues, sleeping problems
  • Sexual problems such as premature ejaculation, frigidity and others
