Hypnotherapy
is successfully applied around the world to modify behavior and
induce emotional well being. In 1995, the National Institute for
Health concluded that there is evidence in supporting the
effectiveness of hypnosis in alleviating chronic pain associated
with cancer and other chronic pain conditions (NIH, 1995).
However, data collected from across
the globe suggests that hypnotherapy can do much more, like change
eating habits, speed up metabolisms, help in learning foreign
languages, stop smoking, etc. The list is endless.
How and why does it work? Our brains
function essentially like a hard drive, storing anything we
experience not only in our memory bank, but in our subconscious
mind, prompting physical and emotional reactions. If the
experience thus stored is harmful or unhealthy, the emotional
reaction will be equally damaging. If you tell a little child over
and over again that it is bad and amounts to nothing, chances are
that this child will grow up and never amount to anything, since
the negative input became ingrained in its subconscious mind.
- And this is
true for all negative aspects the subconscious mind accepts as
truth. the subconscious mind does – after all - not reason
objectively, but takes for granted what it is told over and over
again and works what it believes as truth out to its consequential
conclusion. Through hypnotherapy (as well as subliminal
affirmations), we have the opportunity to re-program our minds
according to your will.

- If you
started smoking at a young age and liked it, your subconscious
accepted smoking a long time ago as something pleasing to the
body. But if you can convince the subconscious mind know that
smoking is a BAD habit and that you want to STOP this habit ASAP,
the subconscious will get to work and help you kick the habit much
faster then you could otherwise.
