Hypnotherapy

When I mention hypnosis to people, many come to the conclusion that being hypnotized must include some profound and dramatic sensations.  And, as suggested by stage shows, it certainly seems like it would have to include some very strange feelings!  However, the reality is that the most common sensation reported by my clients and by people who have undergone hypnosis, is simple relaxation.  Everyone has experienced the state of hypnosis many times throughout the day without even realizing it: those so engrossed in a book or a movie that someone had to call their name several times before getting their attention.  Or, when driving and missed a turn because the mind and attention has been elsewhere.  At those times, the brainwaves would have been identical to someone officially in hypnosis (see below for more on brain wave activity).

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool used to create major positive life-changes.

Hypnotherapy enables a person to:

• Stop smoking
• Control weight gain
• Gain insight into present difficulties and past events
• Dispel phobias and unwanted habits
• Discover the negative beliefs that shape present life decisions and actions
• Create new beliefs that reflect the true inner self
• Increase creativity and clarity of thought
• Deepen intuition and inner peace
• Reduce anxiety, stress, tension
• Increase self-esteem and optimism about life
• Embrace life as an enriching opportunity to learn
• Improve relationships

The Beta brain-wave state

This is the normal, awake, conscious activity of the brain.  The Beta state is high and rapid.  It is a state of full alertness, physical activity and excitement.

The Alpha brain-wave state

This is the state of the beginning of relaxation.  In this state the mind is relaxed but alert.  It is a state of passive awareness, composure of physical and mental relaxation.

The Delta brain-wave state

This state is the brain-wave experienced in the deepest stages of sleep.  It is a state of total unawareness.  The Delta brain-wave is not reached in Hypnosis.

The Theta brain-wave state

This state is one of tranquility, creativity and very deep relaxation. It is usually the state at which we are awakening from a deep sleep. Emotional sensations experienced in the Theta state include restful alertness, day-dreaming and deep tranquility.

Research into hypnotic brain activity with electroencephalograms (EEG) has shown the existence of a strong relationship between Theta brain waves and hypnotizability
