How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

The therapists at Alpine Behavior Therapy Clinic take time to discuss the dynamics of Hypnotherapy prior to the initial hypnosis session. This allows for any questions or concerns to be fully addressed by the patient.

Essentially, hypnotherapy works by the comfortable and easy induction of physical relaxation. Next, carefully selected verbal suggestions aimed at changing the subconscious thinking are provided while the patient is deeply physically and mentally relaxed.

During hypnotherapy the conscious (alert) mind takes a back seat and the subconscious mind, (which governs most of our actions and behaviors) comes forward to listen to and mentally record healthy, new information as provided by your hypnotherapist. This information is individually tailored to your specifically expressed desires, needs and intentions as conveyed to your hypnotherapist during prior interview.

Research suggests that hypnotherapy is a useful and effective approach to most habit forming behaviors and tends to be most effective when the patient has a sincere personal desire to make these changes occur. Most patients experience a noticeable change in behavior as soon as after the first session. However, hypnotherapy is best utilized when applied with the frequency and duration as clinically determined by your therapist.
