What is Hypnosis? A hypnotherapist assists people in entering a safe, natural state of mind characterized by deep relaxation and heightened concentration, in which the normally censoring conscious mind is "set aside" for a while and the subconscious mind is given suggestions which are much more readily accepted and acted upon. Hypnosis is a normally occuring state of mind that most of us experience every day. One example would be driving your car on a frequently travelled route and arriving at your destination without remembering the trip. Another example would be watching a tv show and not realizing that someone has entered the room or called your name. These are examples of a light hypnotic state. In both cases, the conscious part of the mind had been distracted, allowing the subconscious to take over. During a hypnotherapy session, a person will enter a much deeper hypnotic state, allowing suggestions for thought and behavior change to be successfully received and acted upon.
