Hypnotherapy Course - Central YMCA Club

Hypnotherapy Course

Unlock the power of your subconscious mind to help you form positive habits, lessen feelings of anxiety, and more.

Learn the power of self-hypnosis through this course to help you relax and bring about positive change in your life. The focused attention and heightened concentration brought about by hypnosis helps you use your mind in more effective ways. Hypnosis moves aside the critical, conscious mind and makes room for the powerful subconscious mind (where your emotions and experiences are stored) to be more active and receptive to suggestions. 

There are many incredible benefits of hypnosis including better sleep, improved self confidence, a decrease in anxiety and more creativity. Hypnotherapy can be used to help you quit smoking, overcome phobias, improve a negative relationship with food and boost your self worth and self acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

What specific techniques are used to reach a relaxed state?
Relaxation helps to calm the mind and body and has many health benefits. Quietening the mind is a useful aid to learning. Adeline starts her class with 15 mins to 20 mins of relaxation.
She uses breath work, direct and indirect suggestions together with some visualisation to bring about this relaxing and pleasant experience.
Are there any risks involved with hypnosis?
Hypnosis is an everyday experience akin to daydreaming. All hypnosis is self hypnosis and you are always in charge and in control. Any suggestions that contradict your morals or beliefs will be rejected – you’ll either wake up or drift off into a refreshing sleep.
Hypnosis is not therapy but a useful adjunct to therapy hence hypnotherapy. However, the use of hypnosis is generally not
recommended for people with deep depression, people with dependent personality disorders, schizophrenia or psychosis.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Hypnosis or relaxation is a personal experience which varies from one person to the next, changing from moment to moment. Like falling in love, everyone experience differently this hypnosis or trance state.
It’s not dissimilar to day dreaming, losing track of time when lost in the grip of a thriller, a riveting conversation, book or film. It’s that relaxed feeling we experience twice a day just before falling asleep and waking up; when you’re relaxed yet aware of what’s happening.
It’s universally a lovely, soothing feeling that many of Adeline’s clients don’t want to come out of. Hard to describe but lovely to experience.
