The link between hypnotherapy and dreaming

Have you ever been 'entranced'?

The deepest trance state we know is the the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) state we go into when we are dreaming - imagine the REM state as the theatre and the dream as the play.

A hypnotherapist may guide your attention, purely for the purpose of therapy, in a similar way that happens naturally when you dream. In hypnotherapy you are responding to an external stimulus, rather than an internal involuntary one as when you dream.   
Once you are hypnotised-- in this situation: relaxed and in trance in, your body/mind responds in a way you might recognise from dream sleep:

your major muscle groups completely relax
you become less aware of the distractions around you
you may have to make an effort to speak or not even want to
you may or may not remember much about it later
your perception of time may be distorted

What next?

Why not make an appointment for some hypnotherapy?  What a relief it would be for you to have sorted that problem and feel your 'old self' again.  You can sleep better, get over that depression and/or anxiety, feel more energetic and find a way forward.  Contact me for further information.
