Hypnotherapy in Hong Kong: A Path to a Better You
"Hypnosis is to consciousness what a telephoto lens is to a camera."
- David Spiegel, Professor & Associate Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford University
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to help individuals access their subconscious mind and address various mental health issues. By inducing a relaxed state, hypnosis helps the mind become more open to positive suggestions, making it easier to change undesired thought patterns and behaviours. A certified hypnotherapist can guide you to uncover the origins of your struggles, whether it’s anxiety, trauma, or stress. With proven benefits, hypnotherapy is a valuable tool for overcoming mental health challenges and improving emotional well-being.
Hypnotherapy is used and recognized by many medical and health professionals, with extensive scientific research supporting its benefits in treating a wide range of conditions such as pain, depression, anxiety and phobias. It has been used for centuries for pain control such as during the American Civil War when army surgeons hypnotized injured soldiers before amputations. In Hong Kong, hypnotherapy is increasingly recognized as a powerful solution for lasting transformation.
Is Hypnotherapy like in the movies?
Unlike the dramatic portrayals in movies, hypnotherapy is a safe and natural process. As an expert hypnotherapist in Hong Kong, I guide you into a relaxed state where you remain fully aware of your surroundings, yet deeply focused and receptive to positive suggestions.
Hypnotherapy is experiencing a hypnotic trance where the brain is mostly in either alpha or theta brain wave state. During this time there is a deep sense of relaxation both physically and mentally. Alpha waves are present such as during a daydream, and theta waves are present such as during light sleep and deep meditation. These are the optimal brain wave states allowing the mind to reach its heightened state of visualization, mind-programming, and creative learning.
How Hypnotherapy is helpful to you?
With the permission of your own conscious mind, hypnotherapy allows you access to the subconscious mind which governs about 90% of our mind, and thus the learning of its behaviour-pattern-making system.
We will explore how the origin of your self-presenting issue was formed, address your thought processes and have new learnings through various modalities such as inner child healing, parts therapy, past life regression and guided imagery to desired change. All achieved without the constant critical thinking of the conscious mind. While some people worry about losing control, hypnosis strengthens the mind-body connection to empower people to exert more control over their own perceptions. Give yourself permission!
According to the study done by Dr. Alfred A. Barrios:
Psychoanalysis - 38% success after 600 sessions
Behavior Therapy - 72% success after 22 sessions
Hypnotherapy - 93% success after 6 sessions
