Definition of Hypnotherapy.

Despite a much wider acceptance these days, hypnotherapy still fights with misconceptions and misunderstandings. Let's take a look at what a Plymouth hypnotherapist does and how they work.

Every day we slip into brief trances while watching T.V., or reading, in which our emotions, and senses are engaged to the point it seems that an imaginary world is real.  The further engrossed in the story you become, the more your worries fade away, and the story is all you are concentrating on - you then become susceptible to the positive images your therapist is providing.

Some clients go into trance deeply even in the first session, whilst others only experience a light trance. However, in hypnosis, it doesn't matter whether you are in a light or deep trance, either one can be effective.  The experience really is enjoyable.

For hypnosis to be effective, it is very important you trust the therapist you are working with, and to feel comfortable with them, you are always in charge at all times during hypnosis. You may hinder the success of your session if you don't feel comfortable around your Plymouth hypnotherapist. This is why it is crucial to find someone you trust.

Losing control is a common concern with hypnosis. This is not true; they remain in complete control throughout. They cannot be made to do anything against their will (unfortunately this is probably because of the misconception of stage hypnosis). There is no way that a person could be coerced into saying or doing something that they do not wish to do, or get stuck in a state of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is a therapy that uses hypnosis to help cure a wide variety of negative behaviors including stress, anxiety, phobias, panic, over-eating, binge drinking, lack of confidence, sports performance, irritable bowel syndrome, fear of examinations, and smoking.  It can also help with relationship difficulties, natural birthing and much, much more.

The fact is hypnotherapy is a very relaxing and pleasant experience that many people enjoy. Some people can really look forward to a session with a Plymouth hypnotherapist, unlike a trip to the dentist!
