What is Hypnosis ?
Therapeutic hypnosis reproduces the state of consciousness we naturally experience when daydreaming, listening to music, or even walking in a forest. It is simply a state of consciousness more open to changes, to novelty, to alternative options and to suggestions. Practising hypnosis with a practitioner allows to quickly induce this state in order to serve the goal seeked by the client (this could include relaxation, addressing a specific need, or personal development).
Ericksonian hypnosis draws upon theories, concepts, and techniques from psychoanalysis and uses stories, metaphors, anecdotes, invitations to new behaviour more adapted to the desired outcome for each individual client.
