Hypnosis
Often when people think of hypnosis they think of party tricks at a show where the person does embarrassing things or appears to lose conscious control. This is not hypnosis! It is a myth that with clinical hypnosis a patient will lose control. The patient is always aware of the surroundings and always in control. The goal of hypnosis is to bypass the critical observations of our conscious mind. This allows for our intentions for change to happen without interference. Hypnosis is a state of concentration and focused attention which improves absorption of information. When our minds are in a very relaxed state we can use them better to make changes in our life to relieve stress, depression, anxiety or trauma.
