Hypnotherapy in Wokingham

The hypnotic state is a naturally occurring phenomenon, which people may experience through their daily lives, for example, have you ever been so involved in an activity that you completely lost track of time, or driven from one point to another and not remembered the journey? These are both everyday examples of a naturally occurring altered state of conscious awareness, between wakefulness and fully asleep.

Hypnosis is another example of this natural altered state of awareness and customarily creates a deeply relaxed state in which mental stress and bodily tension is reduced. Whilst in this hypnotic state, the mind is usually more open to the process of change. A person who is hypnotised cannot be made to do anything they do not wish to and will be aware of what is going on around them. It is important to note that people can't be hypnotised against their will.

Hypnotherapy is a therapy that utilises hypnosis. It is natural and safe. Hypnosis can be used therapeutically, as it allows greater access to the deeper unconscious part of the mind, which is important in the influence it has over our personality, beliefs, emotions and behaviour. Hypnotherapy can help to achieve positive and long lasting results.
