Hypnosis
Hypnosis is deep state of mental and physical relaxation, in which awareness is heightened.
The mind remains quietly alert, while the body relaxes as if in sleep.
Hypnosis (trance) is not a cure in itself, although while you are in this relaxed state the hypnotherapist can help you to understand and free yourself from a wide range of problems.
Hypnosis does not mean you can be manipulated or controlled in any way; your full co-operation is needed.
The trance state is induced by means of voice and, often, gentle music.
Tape recordings may be given for use between sessions, to reinforce the positive suggestions made by the therapist.
