Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Hypnotherapy


What is clinical hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, often called a trance. This state is used to help individuals explore thoughts, feelings, and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds.

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy works by guiding individuals into a relaxed, trance-like state where the mind becomes more open to suggestion. This state can help address various issues, including anxiety, phobias, addiction, pain management, and more.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is generally considered safe when conducted by a trained and certified professional. It is a natural process and involves no medication or invasive procedures.
