Firstly, you are induced into a gentle hypnosis which allows the frequency of your brain waves to slow down. This can be done in various ways to suit the individual and only works if you allow yourself to relax. No one has the power to relax your mind without your permission. This calm state can then be deepened in order to overcome the barrier between your conscious and subconscious mind. You are able to then access memories and information that is stored away because you become suggestible to this. When your mind recognises that new information is not a threat to you, it allows it to enter.
​
A bit like a gatekeeper with only your best interests and safety at heart! The suggestions can be delivered in direct and indirect ways using the approach that suits you, as an individual, best. Some people like to be told how to change their behaviours and some people like to be invited to.
​
Hypnotherapy can be used for lots of different purposes. The slowing down of the brain frequency and deep breathing calm stress and worry which aids symptoms of anxiety.
