HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnosis is a natural state of awareness.
Hypnotherapy dates back to the Greeks and Romans. In 1955
the British Medical Association officially recognised hypnosis
as a legitimate therapeutic technique, it is now increasingly
an accepted part of conventional medicine.
It is estimated that more than 75% of modern illnesses
are stress induced.

Why hypnotherapy is effective and how it differs from other
therapies
During hypnosis the client is in contact
with his/her subconscious mind, the seat of all emotion
and behavioural
problems. Most other forms of therapy are carried out at
a conscious level, and the will-power of the conscious
mind is small against that of a learned response from the
past.
These responses and emotional reactions are a bit like
computer programmes which keep running and running, causing
the same unpleasant effects, until they are dealt with.
Problems occur when a behaviour pattern or programme is
made in response to a situation that originated in the
past. Later in life, the situation changes but the behaviour
response sometimes does not. As hypnotherapy can help to
change that behaviour response on a subconscious level,
clients can be freed from long-lasting burdens.
It is now widely accepted by the medical
profession that mind and body are closely related. Therefore,
any tension
or disease in the mind can possibly create tension or disease
in the body. As hypnotherapy works with the subconscious
mind, then psychosomatic and stress-related conditions
can be dealt with very effectively.
