Therapeutic hypnosis refers to a technique of engaging a person’s unconscious through deep relaxation – allowing them to more quickly identify, understand and overcome emotional and behavioral challenges. Therapeutic hypnosis goes beyond traditional therapy by working with the unconscious mind – which provides a comprehensive record of a person’s motivations, experiences and conditioned responses. Combining the healing powers of hypnosis with the power of counseling, therapeutic hypnosis enables people to build self esteem, manage emotions and stress, and create healing.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, therapeutic hypnosis “can actually teach people how to master their own states of awareness. By doing so they can affect their own bodily functions and psychological responses.” Simply put, therapeutic hypnosis allows us to access the unconscious so we can identify the root of certain behaviors and make swift and profound changes in our lives.

During hypnosis, a person’s body relaxes while his or her awareness become more focused. Like other relaxation techniques, hypnosis decreases blood pressure and heart rate, and alters certain types of brain wave activity. In this relaxed state, a person will feel very at ease physically yet fully aware as they access the unconscious.

As the University of Maryland Medical Center describes, in hypnotherapy the trained therapist guides you to the unconscious and the unconscious leads you to the first reaction, separating the memory from the learned behavior. Once a person discovers the origin of their individual challenge they can address it from a position of strength, and everything on the conscious level that supported the problem falls apart for an immediate and lasting change.

According to WebMD, “[Therapeutic hypnosis] can improve the success of other treatments for many conditions, including: phobias, fears and anxiety; sleep disorders; depression; stress; post-trauma anxiety; and grief and loss.” It has also proven effective in helping people to manage pain and for people with severe health symptoms.

Because of the changing and healing powers of hypnosis, we can reduce medical costs, improve physical health, and restore balance to our lives.
