There are many people who have heard of the wonderful results accomplished through hypnosis and feel that it could also be helpful to them. Many people are afraid of hypnosis because of misinformation acquired over the years from horror movies, novels, or television. The average person has a mis- conception of what hypnosis is and what can be accomplished through hypnosis.

If a suggestion that is not appealing is given to a person while in the hypnotic state, one of two things would happen: the person in the hypnotic state would either ignore the suggestion or would bring himself out of the hypnotic state.

The intention of this page is to show hypnosis as it truly is. The hypnotherapist does not possess any type of power or gift, but has learned how to give suggestions that the subconscious mind will accept, and then act on those suggestions in a posi- tive, helpful way.
