Hypnosis is a serious therapeutic tool that can help people overcome many psychological, emotional and even some physical problems. It is not mind control, brain washing, sleep, unconsciousness or a peculiar altered mystical state. When in hypnosis a person is aware, in control and can come out of hypnosis when he/she wishes to. It is a natural and harmless state. However, if you are experiencing any medical or psychological problems, it is essential to seek the advice of a competent therapist before doing self-hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy can help address your stress and anxiety levels. With the help of a hypnotherapist, you may be able to identify the cause(s) of your stress. Or you may find it’s a past experience, a situation, a physical issue or something to do with a relationship that’s the main cause.
After discovering the root of the problem, you will then agree upon a goal. This goal could include how you would like to feel and what you would like to do in life without stress holding you back. Your hypnotherapist will then work with you to achieve your goals using a variation of different techniques. Each therapist might use different techniques, but they all will work towards the same goal.

Hypnotherapy for stress can start to work in a few sessions, but it entirely depends on your reaction to the therapy. After attending a number of sessions you may start to feel more relaxed and confident in the situations that previously caused you to feel stressed. Learning Self-hypnosis and practicing it regularly also helps to relax which alters stress building thought habits in longer run.

Chronic, or long-term pain is often more complicated. The pain may be a result of a medical condition, or there may not be any obvious cause. This doesn't mean the pain isn't real, it just makes treatment that much more complex. Often, a variety of approaches are needed to help lessen pain, improve independence and help you cope with the emotional implications.

There are many causes of long-term pain, including conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. Concerns like this require medical intervention and a pain management treatment plan. For many, complementary approaches such as hypnotherapy form part of this plan.
Hypnotherapy is likely to be effective for most people suffering from diverse forms of pain, with the possible exception of a minority of patients who are resistant to hypnotic interventions. Hypnotherapy is a set of techniques designed to enhance concentration, minimize one's usual distractions, and heighten responsiveness to suggestions to alter one's thoughts, feelings, behavior, or physiological state.

Almost all of us experience fears at some point in our lives. It is common to feel a little anxious the evening before a job interview or feel a little dizzy when looking down from a great height. For most of us these feelings are temporary and manageable. For those living with phobias however, this unease becomes a persistent and all-consuming anxiety with the power to turn into an overwhelming panic.

Hence, the difference between fear and phobia is that : feelings of fear are very common and diagnosable whereas phobias are not.

Fear is an emotional response of varying intensity aroused by a recognized and logical threat. It arouses a feeling of unpleasant tension and a strong impulse to escape, as well as certain physiological changes.
Phobias are a form of anxiety disorder and are characterized by intense and irrational fears of an object or situation that poses no real threat. It usually involves strong physiological and emotional responses.
Hypnotherapy can be very effective for specific phobias. This usually consists of systematic desensitization and other therapeutic techniques conducted under hypnosis by a clinical hypnotherapist.

Eating is something we all have to do to live, but some people develop complex relationship with food. They may develop unusual eating habits which are serious mental health concerns, that is, eating disorders. Eating disorders change the way you think and behave, specially in relation to food and diet. There are many reasons behind eating disorders, like:

• Having a family history of eating disorders or depression.
• Having someone criticize your eating habits or your weight.
• Feeling pressure to stay slim for work or a hobby.
• Having certain characteristics, such as an obsessive personality or a tendency to be anxious.
• Experiencing upsetting events, such as a death or abuse.
• Relationship difficulties with friends or family members.
• Being under a lot of stress, for example at school or university.

Hypnotherapy helps you to deal with these disorders as it helps in going to the root cause and release the stress & improve self-esteem. Hypnotic state is used for giving certain triggers for developing a healthy relationship with food as well as healthy food habits. When the clients' mind accepts the picture of 'a perfect day' with eating food, they start resuming the normal eating routine.

Often linked with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, eating disorders are incredibly harmful both psychologically and physically.

• Anorexia
• Bulimia
• Binge eating disorder.
