Demystifying Hypnotherapy
The Science, Safety, and Success of Hypnosis
Hypnosis involves guiding you into a deeply relaxed state where your subconscious mind becomes more accessible. This allows for direct communication with the subconscious, making it easier to uncover and address deeply rooted issues quickly. Traditional therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or psychotherapy, often involves conscious analytical processes and may require longer periods to achieve similar outcomes.
What is the Difference Between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?
While often used interchangeably, hypnosis and hypnotherapy are not the same. Hypnosis refers to a state mind, which can be self-induced or facilitated by another person. On the other hand, hypnotherapy is the therapeutic practice of using hypnosis to address various psychological or medical issues. A trained hypnotherapist uses techniques within the hypnotic state to promote healing, behavioral change, and well-being.

These changes support hypnosis’ ability to alter the way we experience and process information.
