How Does Hypnotherapy Work?
Guided Meditation
In a process similar to guided meditation, hypnotherapy helps a busy conscious mind quiet down, allowing attention to shift inward so positive changes can occur more naturally.
Deep Relaxation
Hypnosis involves a state of deep mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. Thought activity often slows significantly, similar to daydreaming or drifting, while awareness remains present.
Natural State of Mind
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that people move in and out of throughout the day, such as becoming absorbed in a book or lost in thought. Hypnotherapy uses this familiar state intentionally to access the mind's natural intelligence.
