What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to help people change unwanted thoughts, feelings and habits.

It has been used, in various forms, for thousands of years.

It is so effective that there are often several hypnotherapists in most UK towns. They wouldn't still be there if hypnotherapy didn't help!

Hypnotherapy is often likened to guided day dreaming, where the client is mentally focused on specific thoughts and feelings that are chosen to help make changes in the subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy Facts

Here's some facts about hypnotherapy that people often find surprising:

Some styles of hypnotherapy don't use a hypnotic trance. Waking state works fine.
While "hypno" means sleep, the hypnotic state is very different to the sleep state.
In the 1800's, James Braid, who created the term "hypnosis", wanted to rename it "monoideism" once he realised it was not a sleep state.
Hypnosis does not make people do things they don't want to do. In stage hypnosis, the person goes on stage wanting something entertaining to happen.
The British Medical Association endorsed hypnotherapy way back in 1955.
Because hypnotherapy has many types, styles and approaches, it is very hard for the NHS to assess and recommend hypnotherapy as a whole.
Hypnotherapy is approved by the NHS for IBS.
