How does hypnotherapy work?

Your subconscious is the part of you that stores all your memories, emotions and patterns of behaviour. A powerful and hidden resource, the subconscious can control the way we feel or how we react and often overrides our conscious beliefs.

When you relax your mind can function more efficiently, listen to itself and find solutions from within. Under hypnosis the subconscious mind becomes more receptive and will hear and accept positive thoughts and ideas (suggestions) that up to now it has resisted. Some times this may be all that is needed to calm a fear or break a habit.

The subconscious is also a treasure trove of imaginative and creative thinking. Relaxed through hypnosis you can look into your past to find explanations for your feelings and behaviour, or examine the present to find new solutions to old problems. Or you may project yourself into the future to practice new and more helpful ways of behaving.
