Most Asked Questions About Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is often misunderstood, largely due to its portrayal in popular media. At its core, hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility. Individuals in a hypnotic state are not asleep; instead, they are in a relaxed state where their minds are more open to suggestions. In a typical hypnotherapy session, a trained professional guides the participant into this tranquil state. This unique mental state can facilitate access to the subconscious mind, enabling the individual to explore thoughts, memories, and feelings that may not be readily accessible during normal consciousness. Many have reported experiences where they felt more aware of their surroundings and even more in control of their thoughts during hypnosis than in their waking state.
