What Is Clinical Hypnosis?
Clinical Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness, perception or consciousness used by a licensed healthcare professional with an advanced degree to treat a psychological or physical problem. It facilitates a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention similar to using a magnifying glass to focus the rays of the sun to make them more powerful. When your mind is concentrated and focused, you are able to use it more powerfully. Hypnosis allows you to use more of your potential, your lifetime of learning and your unique understanding of yourself to solve problems.
What is Hypnosis Used For?
