Why Hypnosis?

The state of hypnosis provides the environment within which change can take place. We often talk about the conscious and unconscious mind. This is just a convenient way of talking about the way the mind organises information.

We have a vast number of things we do automatically. These include physical activities as well as emotional responses to situations. This is the mind working for us. However, anyone who has a problem is experiencing an automatic response which may have been useful at one time, but which they no longer find so. The response is automatic and its mechanism is unconscious i.e. out of our awareness.

The hypnotic state makes it so much easier to identify the unconscious mechanism or ‘programming’ to use a computer term, and to change it using appropriate techniques so that the individual then experiences something different.
