❝ Can you make me stop smoking / lose weight / be more motivated...? ❞
No. I can't make you do those things but I can help you to achieve them.
Because of the way hypnosis is often portrayed it is easy to think that hypnotists can take over your mind and make you do things.

It does sound corny but hypnosis can be a truly life-changing present.
A session could help someone:
😰 learn how to reduce their anxiety
😴 get better sleep
🚭 change a habit
😱 overcome a phobia
😂 Or of course it could simply be for fun
😊 or relaxation

Your intestines contain over 500 million nerve cells that are directly connected to your brain through the "gut-brain axis."
When you have #Crohn'sDisease, #UlcerativeColitis, or other forms of #IBD, these nerve pathways become inflamed and hypersensitive.

Nov 29th has been designated the #DayOfListening. For a hypnotherapist every day should be a day of listening. I go into a session with an idea of what I will do but that can often change due to what I hear.

Most people would expect someone in hypnosis to be sitting or lying down looking physically relaxed. But that isn't always the case. Relaxation is just one way of achieving hypnosis &, if you find it difficult to relax, probably the least helpful way.

Studies show that smiling and being around smiling people can improve mood + reduce stress because it triggers your brain to release feel-good hormones.

What does hypnosis feel like?
That's a tricky one to answer as it can vary depending on the person and the suggestions given. The experience most people can probably relate to is similar to daydreaming, when your mind drifts between different thoughts.
