Programs - Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy: (hypnosis for therapeutic purposes) Hypotherapy is a method to open the full mind, both the conscious and the subconscious or unconscious, so that personal and health goals may be reinforced and supported. Often when a conscious decision is made to change behaviors, old habits are deeply embedded in the subconscious and sabotage positive health intentions and plans. For example, old habits such as smoking, unhealthy eating, irrational responses, unnecessary anxieties or fears, override rational thoughts and interfere with health goals. Through deep relaxation an altered state of awareness occurs so that the conscious mind is calmed and the subconscious is open to helpful suggestions. This allows the innate healing abilities to flow and the full mind to support health goals and positive behaviors. Hypnotherapy has been particularly effective with stress disorders, smoking cessation, weight loss, pain control, and fear of medical procedures like childbirth, surgery, and invasive examinations. How does it work? After an orientation to hypnosis and some simple demonstrations about the body/mind connection, the therapist will invite you to get comfortable, close your eyes, listen to some soft music, and follow suggestions to relax all the parts of your body. Then you will be guided to an imaginary safe, healing place to rest and listen to the specific suggestions that will support your individualized health goals. This is similar to a dreamlike state, however, you will be aware of what is being said and you will feel in complete control throughout the experience. After the suggestions are completed, you will then be guided back to full alertness and most people feel calm, energized, and motivated to make the changes that will improve their health and their lives. For some behaviors, one hypnotherapy session is sufficient. Other, more complex behaviors, will require additional sessions, depending on the individual and the specific goals.
