What Is Hypnotherapy? How Does It Work?

Hypnotherapy is a process of uncovering the origin of a specific issue and works to resolve those issues. Behaviors, relationship patterns, or mental attitudes that have developed become difficult to solve. The hypnotherapist identifies the root cause that created the difficulty then works to transform the effects identified as unwanted behaviors or circumstances.

Hypnosis is an alternate state of consciousness where the conscious mind is present while communicating and interacting with the subconscious mind. Accessible during states of relaxation. While in the hypnotic state you are fully conscious. It’s been described akin to the moment prior to dozing off to a deep sleep where the conscious mind is still awake.

The subconscious mind is the ruler of the body and its involuntary actions.. This explains why bodily functions such as breathing, digestion, and hair growth, happen without your directive. Another example is, driving a car without fully paying attention. You are completely awake operating the car, but your mind is elsewhere.

Once the state of relaxation is achieved the conscious mind is detached from the immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences, feelings, cognition and images. The conscious mind tunes out external stimuli and allows the subconscious mind to be accessed.

The subconscious mind records every emotion and experience beginning from the womb through the age of ten, forming the foundation of beliefs. Beliefs are created from past experiences reinforced by past emotions and held in the subconscious. The stronger the emotion is attached to a belief, the stronger the anchor. Habits, relationship patterns, and thoughts, positive or negative, are influenced by the beliefs. The problem arises when negative beliefs create undesirable outcomes in the present.

Therefore, decisions and perceptions are influenced by old beliefs, making it difficult to change. Have you ever wondered why your efforts to make changes do not seem to “stick,” and the same old patterns resurface? The reason is, many attempt to make positive change on a conscious. Change occurs in the “mind” not the cognitive part of “the brain.” This is why many self help books and programs are unsuccessful because the subconscious mind that has you on auto-pilot.

To transform a belief and create change, you must have access to the subconscious, “The Library of your Life.” Once the sponsoring event or root cause is revealed the process of healing can begin. The subconscious mind does not know the difference between reality and imaginary. Therefore, it is open to transforming and restructuring old beliefs, creating new beliefs, that result in new outcomes. Once a new belief is accepted by the subconscious, the individual experiences a psychic change.

Alternatively, psychotherapy is a great resource as well. One of the methodologies used is cognitive behaviorial therapy. This allows for discussions a person’s issues to enable sorting of emotions with an objective third-party. However, traditional methods of psychotherapy is challenged in resolving issues effectively and efficiently because it is dependant on a person’s conscious mind to reveal a resolution.

Hypnotherapy and/or Life Coaching are excellent resources to clear negative patterns and behaviors not aligned with your desired outcomes. Hypnosis can transform relationship patterns, release fear and anxiety, reveal the mysteries of a past life. It’s been documented that a present day issue can be unearthed and resolved through hypnosis and past life regression.
