Hypnosis is a focused state of inner awareness
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness we go into naturally. Hypnosis can happen spontaneously, be self-guided or guided by a hypnotherapist. While in hypnosis one is able to access the subconscious mind which is highly responsive to constructive and transformative messages.
Hypnotherapy creates a healing experience
Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic practice where the hypnotic state is used to create a healing experience. Traditionally, this healing is facilitated by using positive suggestions to change unwanted behaviours or encourage positive ones.
Regression Therapy releases the root cause
Regression Therapy utilizes the hypnotic state and the wisdom of the subconscious mind, to go back into the past and uncover and release emotional traumas that are at the root of a presenting symptom or issue.
As a hypnotherapist, I almost always start with regression therapy as traditional hypnotherapy alone can be ineffective. As I often describe it, if there is a huge wound under the surface you, can feed the subconscious all the positive suggestions you want, but it will keep directing the focus to why it feels unsafe ie the wound. Treat the wound first and then the positive suggestions sink into and are accepted by the subconscious.
