The word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word "HYPNO" which translates in English to the word "sleep".
The use of hypnosis in medicine has been around for decades and has been accepted as viable and beneficial health alternative by the medical community since 1958.
When we daydream we move from our conscious to our subconscious allowing us to enter this altered state of mind and body. The hypnotherapist simply uses guided imagery to create this movement thus allowing access to the subconscious in a simple, safe, effective and easy transition.
Once open the subconscious mind is given hypnotic suggestion empowering the individual with the tools they need to take control of the situation or condition.
You are always in control when under a hypnotic trance. Your personal values, morals and free will remain intact.
