What Is Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor and the establishment of acceptable selective thinking (The United States Government, Department of Education, Human Services Division). During normal consciousness, our critical factor decides what type of information goes into the subconscious mind. Its function is to protect the existing data in the subconscious mind, even though the data may be erroneous. Any data that does not match the existing data is rejected by the conscious mind. Hypnosis allows new information to be accepted by the subconscious mind as it bypass the critical factor. The establishment of acceptable selective thinking refers to the client following instructions during the hypnotic induction.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
The word Hypnotherapy is a combination of two words. Hypno and therapy. Hypnos is derived from the Greek word referring to the God of Sleep, however hypnosis is not sleep. For lack of a better word, hypnosis is a state of very deep relaxation. The word therapy means to move a client towards health and wholeness. Hypnotherapy is moving a client towards health and wholeness by creating a deep level of relaxation so that the subconscious mind can accept new empowering beliefs. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for making fast and lasting changes we desire in our life
