Can Hypnotherapy Work for You?

The Power of Positive Thinking

Hypnotherapy creates a "heightened state of awareness".  This state, called the Alpha State, allows the mind to focus and learn, create and retain powerful messages for healing.  What you think or believe to be true can be a powerful ally in wellness and healing.

Chronic Pain & Psychological Problems

Sometimes, people who cannot find the source of a chronic physical or psychological problem seek relief via hypnotherapy.  Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis (concentrated, focused attention) and the unconscious mind (subconscious) in a therapeutic environment to help clients obtain meaningful changes in their lives.  The hypnotic state is used as an access to the unconscious mind for therapeutic changes.  Hypnosis is not therapy itself, hypnosis induces a relaxed states that allows for the therapy to be performed.

Physician Prescription

Many physicians look to Hypnotherapy as an adjunct to traditional solutions to alleviate pain, lessen the side effect of chemotherapy, alleviate symptoms of autoimmune disease, counteract anxiety, sleep disorders and many other problems.  

Therapy Comparisons

A survey of psychotherapy literature by Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D. revealed the following recovery rates:

• Psychoanalysis:        38% recovery after 600 sessions
• Behavior Therapy:    72% recovery after 22 sessions
• Hypnotherapy:         93% recovery after 6 sessions

There are scientific and medically proven facts to the benefits of relaxation, guided imagery and meditation.  Hypnosis incorporates all three.  If you allow yourself to relax, imagine and receive, Hypnotherapy will work for you.
