Hypnotherapy

Have you ever had a deja vu experience? Or "spaced out" and lost track of the time? Or daydreamed? Or been so focused on doing something that you didn't hear someone calling your name? At those times you experienced a natural state of hypnosis.

By choosing to follow the guiding voice of the hypnotist, you can quiet your conscious mind, relax, and access your unconscious. You don't go to sleep, you go into an altered state. You are fully aware of everything you hear and are able to communicate verbally with the hypnotist. You don't loose control. You can choose to open your eyes any time you want.

People often see a stage hypnosis show, where the hypnotist suggests you cluck like a chicken, and think that's what hypnosis is. I have spoken to several people who participated in these shows and they said they didn't think anything that was suggested to them was uncomfortable or immoral. Your subconscious is where your conscious is and won't let you do anything that is not within your belief system.
