Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and heightened suggestibility to help individuals manage various psychological and physical concerns. In this state, individuals can explore underlying issues, adopt healthier behaviours, and address emotional challenges more effectively.
About Clinical Hypnosis
In clinical hypnosis, a trained therapist guides you into a deeply relaxed, focused state of mind. This state, often referred to as a “trance,” allows for increased openness to positive suggestions and therapeutic interventions. It is a safe and effective approach that can complement other therapies in managing conditions such as anxiety, phobias, chronic pain, and stress-related issues.
Clinical hypnosis is based on scientifically supported methods and is always conducted in a professional and ethical manner by a qualified therapist. It is not about losing control but rather about gaining greater insight and empowerment to make positive changes.
