Hypnotherapy: Further Information

During these periods you are in a relaxed state and more open to suggestion. Your relaxation gives you access to your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy makes use of this natural ability by inducing this "hypnotic" state to enable healing and/or changes to be made on a subconscious level.
