Simon Wayman Hypnotherapy & HypnoAnalysis
Hypnosis What is Hypnosis? It is a state of deep relaxation. An altered state of mind which is induced either by a hypnotherapist or the person themselves. The word Hypnosis comes from the Greek ‘Hypnos’ (to sleep) but far from being asleep, the person in hypnosis may well be in a heightened state of awareness, with improved memory, in which they still have complete control of their own mind. They are however, more open to therapy and suggestions that may be given by the hypnotherapist. The state of hypnosis is a most pleasant and particularly relaxing natural state during which a person can converse easily. It is inconceivable that any harm could befall you. It is not possible that you could be made to do anything that you do not want to do, or say anything which you do not want to say. It is a co-operation between patient and therapist to help change and improve your life. Hypnosis is increasingly being used as an adjunct to orthodox medicine where it is providing, for doctors and dentists, a valuable alternative to drugs and anesthesia, to accelerate the healing process and to help in pain control. Hypnosis is a natural state where the conscious mind is in a quiet state and the unconscious mind is much more to the fore. In this state a person is able to recall much better and also to feel emotion much more strongly. It is for this reason that hypnosis is so useful for aiding the recall of traumatic of emotional incidents, and in releasing the locked up emotions associated with them.
