It is a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination.
Hypnosis has been compared to sleep but it's not really like sleep, because the subject is alert the whole time.
It is more accurately compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a book or movie.
You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around you. Your focus is on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought.
Who can benefit from Hypnosis?
The answer to that question is, everyone.
Hypnosis has been used to help people with weight loss, insomnia, anxiety, depression, stop smoking, motivation, self improvement, phobias, cravings, addictions, confidence, public speaking, interviewing, exercising, sports performance….. You name it the list goes on and on.
This works on children as well, for things like bed wetting, nail biting, thumb sucking, fear, anxiety, homework….. Again the list can go on and on.
