Hypnotherapy is a technique that uses something called hypnosis. There is a huge amount of information available about hypnosis, and many myths surround it.

Hypnosis is an altered and heightened state of awareness, that is sometimes referred to as a trance state. You slip in and out of trance states throughout the day. For example, when you day-dream, and when you are at your most relaxed and comfortable.

This is often when the best ideas ‘pop’ into your mind!

Basically, there are two parts to the mind, the conscious and the subconscious. Many therapists use the term ‘unconscious’ instead of ‘subconscious,’ and many describe the workings of the mind in great detail. Caroline’s explanation is very simple:

• the conscious  - the thinking part, that deals with reason and logic
• the subconscious - which, amongst other things houses all the information your conscious gives it to store, like memories and things it can’t deal with immediately.

Hypnotherapy  uses hypnosis to gain access to the subconscious mind, so that it can find solutions to issues that the conscious mind has been unable to deal with.  It is a safe and relaxing therapy, and you cannot be made to do anything that your subconscious does not want you to do. This is because any suggestions that do not fit with your own values or sense of personal well being will be rejected by your subconscious mind.

What to expect
You may not actually realize that you are in hypnosis, but when you come out you will know, because you will feel so relaxed. In fact, many people have said that it is the best relaxation they have ever had! During the treatment you will be aware of everything going on around you, and you can bring yourself out of hypnosis whenever you wish.
Caroline will explain everything to you during the first session, so that you will know what to expect.
