The idea of hypnosis seems a bit odd, what does it actually mean?
Hypnosis is not a mystical process but a natural state. In fact, everyone enters the state of hypnosis twice a day, when they are falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning. It is the same state of mind that people experience when daydreaming, although children are usually the experts on this as adults tend to use their imagination less positively as they get older. The benefit of hypnosis is that it allows access to the unconscious mind, where habits are stored, so that unwanted feelings and behaviours can be changed. The client is the person who makes the changes to the way their mind operates. The hypnotherapist is a guide who understands how the mind works and has a variety of tools and techniques to help you overcome problems.
