What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses hypnosis to help individuals address a variety of emotional and behavioral issues. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility. During hypnosis, a hypnotherapist will guide you into a deep state of relaxation and then make positive suggestions that can help you change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Hypnotherapy works by affecting the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is a part of the mind that is responsible for automatic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Hypnotherapy can help to access the subconscious mind and make positive changes that can lead to lasting improvements.
