HYPNOTHERAPY

                                There are many misunderstandings about hypnotherapy, but it is

                                 simply a means of allowing yourself to focus inwardly, without

                                 employing "the critical faculty"*. This frees up all  the complications

                                 we create for ourselves in our daily lives,  simplifying decision making.

                                         * The "critical faculty" is a compilation of all those lessons we learn

                                     through life, such as, "boys don't cry", "You must be perfect", "You are

                                      stupid" etc. It should be an enabler which protects us from danger,

                                      but often acts as a disabler.

                                Hypnotherapy allows the true power of the mind to be employed,  

                                  a power which we all have, but rarely use.

                           The hypnotic state is one of deep relaxation and comfort which,

                                  once enjoyed, is used regularly by clients in the form of self-hypnosis.

                                 It has many useful applications, including the improvement of

                                   self-esteem, dealing with stress, phobias and even pain management.
