While traditional therapies deal with symptoms on a cognitive or intellectual level (dealing with the conscious mind), hypnotherapy bypasses the critical factor of the ‘conscious analyzing’ mind and goes right to the subconscious - which is the seat of the emotions as well as the storehouse of memories.
The term ‘hypnotherapy’ has two component parts - ‘hypnosis’ and ‘therapy. Hypnosis is not a treatment in itself, but an efficient way to access the subconscious part of the mind which controls our deeper thoughts and actions. Therapy refers to a form of treatment that can deal with a wide variety of issues to include unwanted behaviors, habits or addictions, treating them through verbal communication, positive language and suggestion. |
