How does Hypnotherapy work?

Hypnosis is a focussed state of mind where you disassociate from the “busy mind.” It is similar to the mind space you achieve in meditation, or when you find yourself deeply immersed in relaxation or creative flow. For some people it’s a peaceful, neutral state and for others it’s more alert. Musicians find it when they play, dancers find it when they dance, artists find it when they create, athletes find it in “the zone” and we all slip into it when we daydream or visualise. Its a very powerful state of mind from which we create & learn using our entire consciousness - our “best” self.

The hypnotherapist is very skilled at supporting you to reach your own state of disassociation in a way that is natural to you. Others including myself, often find hypnosis a very soothing and peaceful mind space.

Hypnosis communicates therapeutic messages to the complete conscious mind, not just the analytical mind, which can at times, be limited and obstructionist in scope.

Will I lose mind control during hypnosis?

There is no mind control.

During hypnotherapy you will retain your ability to choose what resonates with you and you will be able to choose your actions. Clinical Hypnotherapy is not to be confused with hypnosis in the entertainment industry. Qualified and Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists in Australia abide by a strict code of conduct in order to practice & follow all legal requirements.

At The Beautiful Mind Hypnotherapy the therapist will listen carefully to your issue and spend time discussing with you the ways that your issue “runs” and “sets up” in your life.

After a logical conversation about the issue and how it can be intercepted or reframed -and only with your consent- the therapist can use hypnosis to work with you to communicate more empowering thought processes directly to the most empowering place in your consciousness - your full consciousness.
