We asked experienced Hypnotherapist and Yoga teacher Tash Vincze about Hypnotherapy, its benefits, and how to prepare!

 

To begin, what is hypnotherapy? 

Hypnotherapy is a state of heightened awareness. It is a tool used to create suggestibility of the mind. Suggestions could be to eat less sugar, get more sleep or have peaceful thoughts.

Do I need to have experience before I attend a hypnotherapy session?

None at all!

How does hypnotherapy work?

Through deep relaxation of the body, the hypnotherapist is able to access the subconscious mind.  The healthy suggestions are then ‘inserted’ into the subconscious mind so that it becomes a habit.

What is hypnotherapy good for treating? Will it work if I have anxiety and stress?

Hypnosis is mainly used for anxiety, stress and PTSD. However it can be used for any improvements, including your golf swing.

How do I prepare for my first group hypnotherapy session?

Avoid caffeine for 4 hours prior, and bring a blanket and pillow for extra comfort during the session. Come prepared with a health goal in mind.  What results would you like to see?

What should I bring to a group hypnotherapy session?

Bring a blanket and pillow for extra comfort during the session.

Tash has been teaching yoga for 10 years and a practicing hypnotherapist for 11 years. She trained at Island Hypnosis in Nanaimo, BC.
