Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis which is a complete natural state of consciousness that we all experience everyday.It is a state in which you are consciously aware of what is happening around you.The faculties of your conscious mind are reduced sufficiently to allow access to the deeper levels of your subconscious mind.
In this state the issue or problem is addressed which the clients brought to the session.It is the subconscious mind which is the storehouse of emotions,habits,events that have passed both happy and traumatic and past lives.
