To understand how hypnotherapy can help you, you need to understand how it works and what it involves. Hypnotherapy is a natural process much like the state between being awake and asleep called the hypnoidal point. It makes you more open to positive suggestions and allows you to make good changes by nudging your subconscious into the desired thought process. In this state you are completely aware of things around you but are reinforcing positive thoughts in the subconscious mind which is what drives the conscious mind in our waking state. The way you feel during a session can differ for each person but generally it makes you feel relaxed and refreshed. This makes it excellent for stress as it allows you to stop and take a break for a moment as well as teaching you new skills.
