Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration and change. Hypnosis, called by different names in different cultures and times, has been recognized for thousands of years and used for many purposes.
When we enter into the absorbed state of hypnosis, we can use our thoughts, talents and experiences in ways not usually available to us. With the help of a trained professional, we can develop innate, individual abilities that enable making desired changes in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors possible. For reasons that are as yet not clear, the focused state of hypnosis allows changes to intentionally be made “automatically”, changes that we could not ordinarily consciously make.
Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems. However, it may not be useful for all psychological problems or for all patients or clients.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is also considered minor psychological surgery and is used in hospitals throughout the country. This is a powerful process because it allows a patient to incorporate their spiritual or religious values into their session.
Including a patient’s spirituality, religion or connection to something bigger than themselves results in a deeper healing and faster remission of symptoms. If the patient has no spiritual or religious belief, they can use their higher self or nothing at all with the similar reported effects.
Hypnotherapy is effective in treating: trauma, abuse, depression, eating disorders, anger, resentment, shame, and psychosomatic disorders (e.g. headaches, stomach and digestive issues).
