Clinical Hypnotherapy
 
Hypnosis is a method of communication that induces a trance-like state (a relaxed focus).  Trance is a naturally occurring state in which one's attention is narrowly focused and relatively free of distractions.  As an adjunct to psychotherapy, hypnosis can help clients enter a relaxed, comfortable, trance state for obtaining specific therapeutic outcomes.
 
How do I know if I am actually hypnotized?
 

• The experience is different for everyone.
• You might go very deep and not remember session.
• For many people, hypnosis is much like reading a good book.  You are absorbed, but are still aware of your environment and your internal dialogue.
• All hypnosis is essentially self-hypnosis, and hypnosis will actually give you more control over yourself than you had before.  Hypnosis cannot make you do anything against your will.

 
Hypnosis has many applications in therapeutic settings.
 

• Treating phobias, fear and anxiety
• Sleep orders and disturbances
• Post trauma relief
• Habit control, especially smoking and weight management
• Treatment of grief and loss
