What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an education-communication process to a person's mind that allows his/her conscious and subconscious minds to believe the same message. During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed natural state, while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestion.

How Does the Subconscious Accept Hypnotic Suggestions?

Hypnotic suggestions bypass the intellectual mind, called the "conscious", and zero in on the subconscious, which has no interpretative powers. When given a suggestion, the subconscious mind accepts it literally as a new reality.

How Does Hypnosis Help People?

The ability to reprogram emotional attitudes and reactions is a latent talent within every human being. Hypnosis is the most functional and reasonable way to train life-long attitudes, rather than suffer a lifetime of emotional accidents the conscious mind is unable to change.

Is Hypnosis Medically Approved?

Yes. The American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have approved hypnotherapy for use by professionally responsible individuals.

Hypnosis & Cancer: One area in which hypnosis services may be helpful is for those with mesothelioma cancer. Initial studies have shown hypnosis to be extremely beneficial for cancer patients and loved ones who battle anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and other secondary symptoms associated with traditional cancer treatments. Aggressive cancers like mesothelioma can have harmful side effects associated with radiation and chemotherapy regimens. Hypnosis has been shown to demonstrate improved capacity to manage these symptoms in mesothelioma patients as well as those of other types of cancer.
