Explore the truth about hypnotherapy and regression while debunking common misconceptions by exploring the most frequently asked questions below.
What Hypnosis Is
Have you ever found yourself behind the wheel, only to realize upon arrival that the journey feels like a blur? Perhaps you've experienced being engaged in mundane daily tasks then find yourself slipping effortlessly into a state of flow where actions unfold seamlessly while your mind floats in a realm we often call 'the zone.? Are those relaxing liminal moments just before sleep or upon waking familiar to you?
Congratulations, you've dipped into the realm of hypnosis!
Hypnosis is a profound, innate state of relaxation that we naturally drift in and out of multiple times daily. When intentionally embraced, the hypnotic state becomes a sanctuary where our conscious and subconscious minds engage in dialogue; resolving conflicts that may linger beneath the surface. The unconscious hypnotic state allows us to sidestep the usual barriers of the conscious mind, delving straight into the core of our emotions and concerns nestled within to more easily explore, address, integrate and reconcile issues.
​Remember that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. As a hypnotherapist, my role is to create and nurture a safe space for you to delve into your inner landscape, guiding you towards understanding and addressing and harmonizing the discoveries you make along the way.
What Hypnosis Is Not
A session booked with Headwaters Hypnotherapy and Regression is Clinical Hypnosis, a form of hypnosis that transcends the realm of mere entertainment; it is a profound therapeutic tool.
If you've witnessed a friend mimicking a chicken on stage during a hypnosis demonstration, rest assured, they were willing participants of a form of hypnosis referred to as stage hypnosis, not clinical hypnosis. Stage hypnosis does not reflect the therapeutic essence of inducing a flow state.
It's crucial to understand that under any form of hypnosis, no one can be coerced into actions or statements against their will. Throughout the process of a clinical hypnosis session, you remain in full control at all times, empowered to disclose or withhold information as you see fit, and you can disengage at any moment.
It's essential to emphasize that hypnosis isn't a medical treatment and shouldn't be viewed as a substitute for professional healthcare services. I am transparent about the limitations of hypnosis and will openly discuss these boundaries before agreeing to any session.
Hypnosis isn't something done to you; rather, it's a collaborative effort requiring your active engagement and desire for change. You'll remain conscious and aware throughout the session, with complete recollection of all that transpires.​​​
