The most frequently asked question our clients ask is “Will I act like a chicken?”  Most of us have seen stage hypnosis, or know someone who took part in a stage show.  These experiences are far removed from clinical hypnosis which is a well recognised and serious therapy that can help resolve many difficulties, issues and addictions. 

Clients who visit the Brisbane Clinic spend most of their session sitting or reclining comfortably, feeling extremely relaxed, listening to the Hypnotherapist giving suggestions, and perhaps using metaphors which help them achieve the therapeutic results they've agreed upon together.  

Clinical hypnosis is a gentle experience.  Your body becomes very relaxed, yet your mind remains very focused.  Usually you will hear everything that is said, but often as though you were at a distance, observing.

Whether you use a CD or experience a session of hypnosis at the clinic, you will never be out of control; you are not under the control of the therapist and  if you wanted to, you could get up and leave at any time.  However, you would probably be so comfortable and relaxed that this would be the last thing on your mind.

Did you know...

...that your brain is more active when you are asleep than when you are watching television?

Hypnosis is a process of communication

Hypnosis is an education-communication process that allows a person’s conscious and subconscious minds to believe in the same positive message. During hypnosis the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed state while the subconscious mind remains alert and receptive to suggestion. In this state the person suspends critical judgment and exercises selective thinking.

Hypnosis is a way of accessing the subconscious mind. The root cause of most physical and emotional problems is in the subconscious mind, created by decisions and beliefs formed because of a past experience that is often outside conscious memory or awareness. Hypnosis is a way of accessing and releasing that information and the accompanying emotional distress.

Because hypnosis accesses the subconscious mind, it can also be used to improve performance. People have successfully increased sales, improved their sports performance, improved memory, improved health habits, and mastered stress and anxiety through the using hypnosis.
