Essentially Hypnosis is the state of being completely mentally engaged in an idea, topic or goal to the exclusion of almost everything else that is going on around you. It’s rather like a focused day-dream where you are particularly receptive to positive suggestion. During the hypnosis you may feel deeply relaxed or you may feel very alert and focused; both responses are absolutely fine.
Hypnotherapy is the therapy that is carried out while a client or patient‘s mind is in this fully focused state of the imagination.
