What is Hypnosis?

Hypnotherapy is a tool of change accessible to people who have the sincere will to transform their behavior by calming the conscious from its usual hyperactivity and by activating the individual’s inner power.

Based on the problem the subject wants to address, the subject is encouraged to perform personal work between hypnosis sessions. Personal work can be either done by listening to an audio recording of the previous session, by practicing self-hypnosis or by reactivating an anchor created during the hypnosis session. This work will gradually allow the transformation of the problematic behavior into better adapted behavior that is harmonized with the deeply rooted values of the subject.

Hypnosis: a state of soft and deep relaxation.

Hypnosis is a state of modified consciousness or perception often compared with a waking dream, a state of deep relaxation in which the mind is more focused and susceptible to suggestions. In hypnotherapy, we use this state of modified consciousness to better use the mental capacities of the subject and help him/her to be self-aware or to change behaviors which are problematic.

Contrary to what we think generally, most people can experience a trance to varied degrees. By using the personal resources of the subject and their most positive attitudes, hypnosis supports the subject to create more appropriate and adapted behavior.

Hypnosis has been studied in European universities for several years and is approved as valid therapeutic technique by the associations of psychologists, doctors or dentists of several countries. This tool is studied more and more in North American universities.

Self-hypnosis

In a hypno-therapeutic follow-up, it is common the hypnotherapist teaches to his/her client a self-hypnosis technique that the client uses on himself/herself in daily life. This technique also helps reach autonomy.

The autonomy of the client is encouraged every step of the follow-up; self-hypnosis increases not only the autonomy but also the client’s activation of his participation in his/her own progress, while allowing the therapeutic changes to remain.

Sometimes the self-hypnosis technique is digitally recorded, and the customer can listen again at home.

Hypnosis can be also conjugated to various types of treatment; indeed, the hypnotherapist can collaborate with various health specialists to support the client towards the achievement of his/her objectives.
