Alison Bird Clinical Hypnotherapy

Profile

Hypnosis is a method of reaching a relaxed state in order to treat many mind-related and emotional complaints.  It has been practised in various forms for thousands of years by many cultures and is recognised by the scientific community as an effective healing tool.
 
Being in an hypnotic state feels similar to the dreamy state of mind that exists just before falling asleep, or when you are staring at the flames of a fire, except you are alert and aware of your surroundings.
 
Suggestions made to you in this relaxed state tend to be taken to heart, but only if those suggestions are beneficial and acceptable to you. Contrary to popular belief, you can't be hypnotised into doing things against your will. You can't be forced into an hypnotic state either. Instead, you allow yourself to be hypnotised. It is a voluntary altering of your own consciousness, and you are always in control.  If stage hypnotists actually could hypnotise you and make you do crazy things against your will and without your knowledge, surely they’d have waved their hands at the bank manager years ago and be living somewhere exotic without having to rely on stage shows to earn a living…..!  The power to make beneficial changes to your life is completely within your own mind and under your own control.  The hypnotherapist helps you to find this ability and utilise it.
