OK, let's try to understand how it works, in simple terms.. If you drive a car, have you ever reached the end of your journey and can't remember how you got there? Or parts of the journey are missing? Yes? Well, like most people, you enter a mild state of Hypnosis several times a day, this “daydreaming state”. It is commonly thought that our mind has two "halves" a Conscious and a Sub-conscious. Now, on a familiar journey, your "sub-conscious" knows the way there, you don't have to "think" about whether you are going to go left or right at the next junction. YOU DO IT INSTINCTIVELY AS YOU DO IT REGULARLY This frees the mind to do other things - thinking about your job, family, holidays or whatever is important to you at that time. Your sub-conscious is there to protect you, ensuring you are safe. If a car pulled out in front of you, or if there were danger up ahead - your sub-conscious would bring you "back" and let your conscious mind deal with the problem. Our sub-conscious actually represents 89% of our mind and this is why habits can be so difficult to break, as we only have 11% to try to change it with (our conscious mind). As a result our sub-conscious is the most powerful part of our mind. Whilst you have been reading this, you have been breathing, your heart has been beating and I bet that not one of you thought about it! Guess what - that was your sub-conscious! Well it's actually very clever really, like a computer that you can program. These programs keep us alive, but they can also cause us problems. These problems are varied and very individual but include things such as smoking, over-eating, lack of confidence etc.. The great news is that through hypnotherapy, together, we are able to change the aspects of how you feel or your behaviour quite readily. That means that benefits are permanent, safe and for a lifetime of wellbeing. You may have other questions, so why don't you get in touch...
