Here are just a few examples of issues or problems that can be helped through hypnosis.
Some of the issues are simple and straightforward, while others are more complicated. Even the simplest of issues, however, may require at least two sessions.
Hypnosis allows us to communicate with our subconcious mind—with those deep underlying thoughts that can keep us from being as healthy as we would like or need to be.
There are specific techniques to help a child manage ADHD. In one session, these techniques can either be taught to the parent who then teaches them to the child, or can be taught to the child directly.
Amazingly, the subconscious mind has the ability to help a person decrease pain levels. In hypnosis, we use imagery to dial down that pain.
Hypnosis promotes mental and physical relaxation, both of which help to prepare us for events that may otherwise cause anxiety.
By visualizing an event or action in hypnosis, an athlete or performer can mentally create the perfect performance and generate a rush of confidence in his or her mind.
Hypnosis promotes mental relaxation, which allows a person to remove distracting thoughts. Secondly, it allows a person to focus on one particular task.
A great benefit of hypnosis is its ability to help a person relax deeply, both physically and mentally. Getting those racing thoughts to "settle down" is part of what happens during mental relaxation.

SMOKING CESSATION
For people who want to quit smoking, hypnosis provides a way to stop craving cigarettes and maintain a state of mind that’s calm and centered. As part of this process toward a healthier lifestyle, hypnosis helps people desire healthy foods and feel satisfied with smaller portions. Some people may have additional challenges or side effects associated with years of smoking that can also be addressed with hypnosis (for example, physical pain). The process includes five sessions.
