The trance element of the hypnotherapy session is a very natural state. We all go in and out of trance many times during the day. Have you ever driven a regular route and then wondered how you got there? Or perhaps been washing the dishes and drifted off into a daydreaming state? Well this is trance. The way that we induce this state in our hypnotherapy sessions is by reading you language patterns that are specifically designed to get you drifting and dreaming. Whilst in this state, your subconscious is receptive to suggestions and can go to work on your goals.
It is important to remember that the hypnotherapist cannot make you do something that you don't want to do.

During a typical hypnotherapy session, we will spend the first part discussing what you would like to achieve, and looking at how the brain works and relating this to your situation. You will then be guided into a state of deep relaxation called trance during which your brain will have the opportunity to go to work on your goals.
