How does it work? 
Everyone has experienced something like a hypnotic trance at some stage in their lives. Daydreaming, that pleasant sensation of being physically present but mentally 'miles away' is very similar to the experience of being hypnotised. |
Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of deep sleep, nor will you become unconcious.
Hypnosis works by altering your state of consciousness in such a way that the analytical, left-hand side of the brain is turned off, while the non-analytical right-hand side is made more alert.
The conscious control of the mind is inhibited and the unconscious awoken. As the unconscious mind is a deeper seated, more instinctive force than the conscious mind, this is the part that has to change for the patient's behaviour and physical state to alter.
For example, a client who wants to overcome their fear of spiders may try everything they consciously can to do it, but will still fail as long as their unconscious mind retains this terror and prevents the patient from succeeding.
Progress can only be made by reprogramming the unconscious so that deep-seated habits and beliefs are abolished or altered.
