Hypnosis Is Deeper Than You Think

When you think of hypnosis, you might recall images of people staring transfixed into swinging pocket watches or barking like a dog at the sound of a finger snap.

That is not the case at all.

Clinical hypnosis is all about reaching into your subconscious, getting in touch with your innermost thoughts and feelings, and using the power of the mind to improve will power, motivation, confidence, and self-esteem. It's about reflection, healing, and progress.

Before hypnotizing the client, a clinical hypnotist will discuss in detail the problem that needs to be resolved and the goal that the individual would like to achieve. The clinical hypnotist will also explain what hypnosis is, how the mind will be operating in its subconscious state (or the 'first gear' of the mind), what will be experienced during hypnosis, and how it will work to help the individual. Then, based on the results of the client's suggestibility and the nature of the problem or goal, the clinical hypnotist will induce a hypnotic state.

It must be said that at no point in this hypnotic state, or trance, does the client lose control of his or her body or mind. Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis does not involve being put in a deep sleep, and the client cannot be forced to do anything that they would not ordinarily do. They remain completely aware of their surroundings and situation.

That's the gist of the clinical hypnotism practiced at Levitate Wellness. We are hear to help you meet any goals you want to reach, from addiction issues and anxiety to academic and athletic performance. Please book a free consultation to learn more!
