Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we enter into many times a day, often without realising that we have, for example when we are daydreaming, just before we go to sleep and even when we are watching television.

​

Our conscious mind is often on overdrive with planning and organising, when we drift into a natural state of hypnosis our subconscious mind takes over, this is the part of our minds that controls how the body does everything naturally without having to think about it. 

​

It is a very pleasant and relaxing state where one's awareness is heightened, and contrary to popular belief you will not lose awareness or control. It is in this trance like state that the conscious part of our mind is bypassed and we have more access to the subconscious.

​

Hypnotherapy uses this trance like state to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious directly. You may find that you fall asleep during a hypnotherapy session due to being so beautifully relaxed. This is quite common; your subconscious mind still hears everything it needs to. Your only focus needs to be concentrating on relaxing.
