Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state that we all go in and out of throughout our day. When getting absorbed in a movie, on autopilot driving down the freeway, or drifting between awake and asleep… you’re in a natural state of hypnosis. During hypnosis, the brain goes into the alpha-theta wave state and the body becomes incredibly relaxed while the mind becomes alert and focused. Athletes and artists often refer to this as the ‘flow state’ while others call it the brain's ‘learning state’. At this time, the critical filter of the brain steps aside allowing us to influence the subconscious mind. In hypnotherapy, we utilize the advantages of hypnosis in a therapeutic setting. Suggestions are given in hypnosis to support your personal goals in a way your subconscious easily understands. To discover your subconscious communication style, therapy is conducted prior to going into the hypnotic state. The more these suggestions are repeated, the more the subconscious mind gravitates toward them to create your desired outcome.
