What is Hypnotherapy


What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the most immediate tool for changing beliefs and/or behaviors. Of all the therapies, hypnotherapy will produce the most immediate results. 

Hypnotherapy is a combination of hypnosis and therapy, which is one of the many attributes separating it from stage hypnosis. Traditionally, a hypnotherapist will spend about half of his or her time talking to the client while the client is in Beta (normal awakening consciousness). The remainder of the time, the client will be in hypnosis (Alpha or lower). Hypnotherapy works by combining hypnosis with precise, outcome-oriented therapy and targeting the subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy is quite different than traditional therapy. Instead of spending years with a therapist, clients who undergo hypnotherapy will have an efficient, fast, and reliable means of altering negative behavior.

It is important to note that hypnotherapy is not for everyone. Some patients want to spend years in traditional therapy getting to know themselves and examining the roots of their behavior. Some patients will even respond better to long-term non-hypnotic therapy. Hypnosis is just one of the thousands of ways a person can achieve his goals; however, if your patient wants immediate results, hypnotherapy is the most effective tool.
