What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a trance-like mental state in which people experience increased attention, concentration and suggestibility. People in a hypnotic state often seem sleepy and zoned out, but, in reality, they are in a state of hyper-awareness.
Although there are many myths and misconceptions around hypnosis, it is becoming more and more clear that this tool has obvious medical and therapeutic benefits.
When using hypnosis together with coaching and NLP, you can tap into real power that will create change in your life, heal what needs to be healed, massively improve and preserve learning experiences, and make new neurological connections that will transform your thinking.

Psychologists today generally agree that we all have a Conscious Mind and an Unconscious Mind. Making a change in our attitudes, beliefs and values is not easy for most people to do, because they approach the change consciously. For a change to effectively happen, it needs to involve both the Conscious Mind and the Unconscious Mind. Hypnosis facilitates that by making the Unconscious Mind more amenable to suggestion. Learning to build rapport with your unconscious mind will allow you to access resources that would be difficult to grasp and integrate in your changing process if you limit yourself to work at a conscious level.

There are two types of hypnosis:

Direct Hypnosis: which explicitly orders the subject to enter a trance or change their behavior. Though direct hypnosis can be a powerful tool, it is authoritative and is commonly met with resistance.

Indirect or Ericksonian Hypnosis: named after Dr. Milton Erickson, a prominent American psychiatrist and psychologist widely regarded as the “father of hypnotherapy” and whose discoveries influenced a wide spectrum of therapy and NLP. Ericksonian Hypnosis is a more subtle, “respectful”, permissive and accommodating method that uses body language, stories, metaphors, symbols instead of direct orders.

During our sessions…

I will be using Ericksonian Hypnosis to help you access your internal resources and potential, understand, accept, channel and transform your emotions, let go of negative emotional baggage, boost your self-love and self-esteem but also simply to help you relax or access positive mental states.

I will then also teach you Self-Hypnosis, a self-induced hypnotic state that you can use as a self-help tool to control emotions, manage stress or even control pain.
