Hypnotherapy at the Women's Center for Wellness

The Women’s Center for Wellness offers hypnotherapy, which can be a wonderful healing tool. It is a state in which an individual, through hypnosis, becomes highly responsive to suggestions. Hypnosis is a relaxed, but highly focused, state of mind.

Through hypnotherapy our unconscious mind can be accessed. Our unconscious mind controls our emotions, our immune system, our bodies, and our behavior. By going into the unconscious mind, we can bring about many positive changes in our lives.

The American Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment in 1988. It is not a surrender of control; rather, it is only an advanced form of relaxation. Even in the deepest state of hypnosis, an individual is always in control and free to accept or reject a particular suggestion.

Research has demonstrated that a person’s body chemistry actually changes during hypnosis. Hypnotherapy can be a door that opens and leads an individual toward reaching his or her highest potential through the mind-body-spirit connection.

Hypnotherapy can be used to complement traditional medical treatments and has been successful in helping people in the following areas:

• Headaches
• Stress and anxiety
