We
Do What Works
Everyone is different and therapy
should be different for everyone. Your clinician will ask you about when, where
and how your problem occurs and help you understand a little more about why.
Then sessions are personalized to your needs to ensure your success.
YOU
are in Control
You are always in control. Hypnosis is
completely relaxing and usually people are completely aware of their
surroundings. It's a myth that someone is making you do something. Actually,
your therapist is putting YOU in control. Hypnosis restores your freedom of
choice where you haven't had it before... perhaps in years!
What
is hypnosis?
It is a trance state characterized by
extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination. It is most often
compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a book
or movie. You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around
you.
What
Happens During Hypnosis?
A typical hypnosis session begins with
an induction procedure in which the person is asked to focus his or her eyes on
a fixation point, relax, and concentrate on the voice of the hypnotist. The
hypnotist then gives suggestions for further relaxation, focused attention, and
eye closure. After the person’s eyes are closed, further suggestions for
various imaginative experiences are given.
Can
Hypnosis be used in Pain Reduction?
Hypnosis has been employed in the
clinic for both medical and psychotherapeutic purposes Studies indicate that
hypnosis can effectively relieve pain in patients suffering pain from burns,
cancer and leukemia (e.g., bone marrow aspirations), childbirth. Hypnosis
has been reported to help women when recovering from breast cancer surgery.
Can
Hypnosis Help People Stop Smoking?
There
have been many attempts to use hypnosis for habit control, however, hypnosis has
no coercive power. That is, one cannot be hypnotized against his or her will.
Where the patient is appropriately motivated hypnosis may offer a boost to
treatment.
