HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnotherapy is a wonderful healing treatment, so powerful, accurate and safe while often being bypassed due to a lack of understanding.
Imagine freeing yourself from blocks, habits and fears that can crop up again and again preventing you from being the best you can be. Then imagine taking on a life-affirming positivity and contentment, well, that's hypnotherapy.
Minds like patterns and repetitiveness. Once a mind is locked into a pattern it often remains, sometimes for life if no action is taken. Hypnosis is a method of bypassing the conscious mind to get to the root, that deep subconscious where you can change your path towards whatever you want to be, most commonly without having to share any unpleasant details that you may not want to share.
When undergoing hypnosis one enters a trance-like state, similar to when you daydream; a heightened state of concentration and awareness, gaining more focus, eliminating distractions and becoming more open to positive changes. The whole process is easy and relaxing and you can't do anything wrong. With an expert health-centred hypnotherapist the experience is pleasant, inspiring and often life-changing.

RESEARCH:
The American Medical Association approved hypnosis as a therapy in 1958, and the American Psychiatric Association followed in 1961. Since then, reviews have provided evidence on the effectivity of hypnotherapy.
Pain relief. A meta-analysis published in 2000 concluded that hypnosis offered moderate to major relief for many types of pain.
A 2003 analysis found that hypnosis was more effective than other pain relief methods.
Hypnosis can be used as an adjunct to various types of sedation during surgery.
A 1999 review concluded that hypnosis combined with conscious sedation might also reduce length of stay in the hospital by speeding recovery.
A 2007 study found that women who were hypnotized before undergoing a breast biopsy or lumpectomy required less sedation during the procedure, and experienced less pain, nausea, and emotional distress afterward.
Studies also report that hypnosis can be effective for alleviating pain caused by chronic tension headaches and migraine headaches.
Hypnosis also helps alleviate anxiety. Many studies have reported that hypnosis reduced anxiety levels and lowered blood pressure in patients before surgery and enhanced recovery afterward by shortening hospital stays and reducing complications like nausea and vomiting.
In a 2006 study patients who underwent hypnosis received suggestions of well-being before surgery. Upon entering the operating room, they reported anxiety levels 56% lower than levels before hypnosis. Patients who received the normal presurgical standard of care reported a 47% increase in anxiety.
