Hypnotherapy as a Wellness Tool

Well, it’s official. We’ve begun a new year and the time of resolutions is upon us again. If you’ve been on social media within the last few weeks, you’ve likely seen people posting their goals for 2023. This year more than ever, it seems like the world is more focused on holistic wellness goals rather than specific things like weight loss or breaking a bad habit. If going to the gym, changing your diet, doing yoga a few times a week, and maybe starting therapy isn’t quite cutting it for you, it might be time to consider adding hypnotherapy to your wellness journey to get a fuller and deeper experience.

How will hypnotherapy help?

Our subconscious mind affects every part of our life, from what we think, to how we feel, to how we sleep. If our subconscious is overwhelmed with issues we haven’t addressed, such as traumas or bad habits or even pain and digestive issues, it can’t properly manage our consciousness. That can lead to things like anxiety and depression, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome, addictions, and sleeping disorders. When used as a wellness tool, hypnotherapy allows us to address elements of ourselves we aren’t able to access in our day-to-day conscious state. Healthy diets and exercise routines are excellent tools, but when you focus solely on your physical body you’re ignoring a huge and integral part of who you are as a person. When you add hypnotherapy to the mix, you open the door to a whole new side of your holistic self and the benefits can be life changing.

The Benefits

Many clients use hypnotherapy to help them get better sleep, alleviate symptoms of anxiety/depression and PTSD, improve IBS, break bad habits and addictions, and find relief from chronic pain. As a practice, hypnosis encourages entering a state of deep relaxation, which allows our minds and bodies to heal and repair damage. This provides a more complete and holistic opportunity to make positive changes so you can live better and feel your best. Generally, hypnotherapy clients will be able to leave their appointments feeling relaxed and calm short term, and healthier, lighter, and generally happier long term.

You can also use hypnotherapy to help you stick to your weight loss or physical health goals! Being in a hypnotic state allows us to train our brains to react positively to specific triggers, so you can teach yourself to choose healthy snacks over potato chips and to look forward to going to the gym. In many ways, hypnosis gives us ‘cheat codes’ to healthier living.
