Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy in Nanaimo

In today’s very media conscious world it’s hard to imagine anyone not hearing about or seeing hypnosis either on TV, YouTube, the Internet, or by actually attending a hypnosis stage performance or hearing someone else’s experience at a hypnosis performance. This is ‘Stage or Street Hypnosis’ as it’s called, and whenever you hear anyone talking about these performances it’s usually quite funny and entertaining and your entire reason for attending is to be entertained and have a good laugh. But hypnotherapy is quite a different experience than a hypnosis stage performance.

A person going to see a hypnotherapist is going to find it to be a very relaxing experience and one that actually helps you to make positive changes in attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, habits, fears and even help you to find ways to heal yourself too. A person having a hypnotherapy session need not fear that they will come out of the office exhibiting strange or bizarre behavior such as barking like a dog or quacking like a duck. Nor is there any fear that you will lose control of yourself to the hypnotherapist. As with any hypnosis, whether its stage hypnosis or hypnotherapy, you are always in control.

Even in stage performances the people who volunteer to go onstage want to entertain the audience and so are willing participants to the suggestions that the hypnotist is giving them. The same thing applies when seeing a hypnotherapist, he/she only guides the person through visualization, imagery, metaphors, and some direct suggestions to the sub-conscious mind all designed to help the person to make positive life style changes; but the person has to actually want these changes in the first place in order for any positive effect to take place.

Hypnotherapy first of all helps the person to reduce their anxiety, tension, and stress by giving them positive reinforcement and ways to relax their bodies completely. Then it helps by strengthening their immune system to unlock their own inner potential by utilizing their sub-conscious mind to create their own personal mind-body healing.

Things like unexplained aches or pains, unexplained fears towards places of travel or unexplained talents and aptitudes for things, a love or hate of certain cultures that are not at all related to your own family or upbringing. Would you like to know who you were in another lifetime? Do you have a certainty or feeling that someone or something is always guiding you, like a spirit guide? These are things that can be discovered through Past Life Regression therapy or through Meeting with your Spirit Guide during hypnosis.
