Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy has helped me with pain release, and deep relaxation has been very good for my pain and depression and giving me an overall sense of wellbeing. I came in to hypnotherapy with shoulder pain that was relieved during therapy, as well as reducing my depression. Also, it helps give me clarity on things in my life, and relieves my tension and anxiety. It helps to clean my thinking. I believe it can help others with pain control, depression and weight loss, as I lost 6 pounds by doing a hypnotherapy weight loss regularly (and kept it off).

Hypnotherapy has helped me with finding my inner strength, that I didn’t know I had. After listening to the CD as I fall asleep, I would hear myself saying things to set boundaries for myself, without thinking, and wonder “was that me?” I think it can help others with their self-esteem and self-worth as well.​

Hypnotherapy has helped me with my anxiety, and with gag reflex issues due to dental issues. It helps me relax and keeps me relaxed through the next day afterwards. I believe it could help others with their similar issues.

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis -- or hypnotherapy -- uses guided relaxation,
intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. The person's attention is so focused while in this state that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or ignored. In this naturally occurring state, a person may focus his or her attention -- with the help of a trained therapist -- on specific thoughts or tasks.
Hypnosis is not some sort of “mindcontrol"..........
but is a state of “letting go” and “relaxing.”
Hypnosis is no more mind control than watching TV, listening to a political speech, or attending a worship service. Clinical hypnosis is about enabling the patient to gain greater control of the mind; that is, empowering, not taking control away.
How Does Hypnosis Work?
Hypnosis is usually considered an aid to psychotherapy (counseling or therapy), because the hypnotic state allows people to explore painful thoughts, feelings, and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds. In addition, hypnosis enables people to perceive some things differently, such as blocking an awareness of pain.
Hypnosis can be used in two ways, as suggestion therapy or for patient analysis.
-
Suggestion therapy: The hypnotic state makes the person better able to respond to suggestions. Therefore, hypnotherapy can help some people change certain behaviors, such as stopping smoking or nail biting. It can also help people change perceptions and sensations, and is particularly useful in treating pain.
-
Analysis: This approach uses the relaxed state to explore a possible psychological root cause of a disorder or symptom, such as a traumatic past event that a person has hidden in his or her unconscious memory. Once the trauma is revealed, it can be addressed in psychotherapy.
Hypnotherapy &Religion
Each one here comes with his/her own history: religiously, personally, and professionally. Many Christian Ministers view hypnosis as a valuable tool of counseling.
The question to ask from a religious standpoint are, "Why does one of religious faith need hypnosis?" or "How can you use hypnosis? Isn't there a conflict between religious faith and hypnosis?"
These questions can be responded to by referring to the statement of Jesus in John 10:10, "I am come that they may have life and have it more abundantly." Hypnosis is one of the gifts of God which help people experience the "more abundant life."
Hypnosis is neither anti-religious nor pro-religious. It can be used for good or bad, depending on the hypnotist and the subject. Today, most religious groups accept the proper ethical use of hypnosis for helping people.
Hypnosis should not be condemned as anti-religious just because some people misuse it. Some oppose hypnosis because the say it is used by the occult, but do they condemn prayer because prayer is used for occultist purposes? Hypnosis can be a very helpful tool in counseling. Without apology and when appropriate, hypnosis can be used for growth, health and the benefit of people.
