FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THERAPEUTIC HYPNOSIS
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis in the treatment of emotional, psychogenetic and psychosomatic problems.

 

Hypnosis is a state of enhanced relaxation in which the mind becomes remote and detached from every day cares and concerns.

 

In such a relaxed state the subconscious part of the mind is best able to respond creatively to suggestion and imagery by the therapist.

 

Hypnotherapy can be used for almost any problem treatable by psychotherapy and also for many physical ailments.
