Before we get in depth about Clinical Hypnosis, we should tell you what it’s not: Clinical Hypnosis isn’t forcing you to bark like a dog, fall asleep or dance like a chicken when some snaps their fingers.
Suspicious? We get it. Popular culture has skewed what most people think when they think of hypnosis.
What is Clinical Hypnosis then?
Clinical Hypnosis is about finding a new way to relax using your unconscious.
In therapy, Clinical Hypnosis is a safe and effective tool to heal, reduce pain and initiate change. Clinical Hypnosis helps harness the incredibly powerful resources of the brain for imagination, relaxation and increased awareness. Therapists using clinical hypnosis are always grounded in their ethics and working on the goals you set. You’re in charge.
Usually, it’s just your therapist just talking to you. No gimmicks or tricks. Just your therapist talking to you, guiding you to relax and allowing your subconscious mind to become more receptive to the goals you’ve set for yourself. You’re in control the entire time!
Hypnosis and Meditation are often looped together on a client’s roadmap to wellness as part of our intense Deep Healing program for those who have struggled to regulate or manage their negative emotions (anger, fear, panic, shame, anxiety, etc…) and those who have had trouble moving towards their goals but have been unsure why.
